New Character generation system idea, Okay, I've got the idea but it's far from implementation. Options

[FuelDrop]

This is a bit of an out there thought but bear with me:

Character creation is one of the most contentious parts of Shadowrun. Which is best? Priority; Build Points; Karma; each have their defenders and detractors. I am not saying any of them is better or worse than any of the others (I know that there are other people who'll happily do that for me), but here's another idea: question based character generation.

Here's the general concept: Character creation takes the form of a long in character multiple choice questionnaire that determines skills, attributes, magic, qualities and gear.

The first problem I can see with this is that it will be a big thing. As in, a full book just for this one character generation system, as each choice is going to need to lead to a different set of questions (with some overlap) so that it's harder to game the system by just picking the best options for each question, as the branching choices mean that by picking one option others close to you.

Thoughts?
