You couldn't really do anything interesting with a starting character in D&D 1st edition, either. Just pick Warrior, Thief, or Magic user, and some paltry starting gear and randomly rolled stats. And yet those are some of the best RP experiences I've ever had. The burden of that is always on the player.
DAI could use more customization options, though.
