But the old "first rule" of the original D&D was "anything you don't like, you can change." This is possible in a pnp game where one is creating his own campaign (my own campaign, for example, has little in common with the "official" D&D rules), but in a computer game, you're stuck with what the programmers decide (until the modders and hackers come out to play).
And in most pnp games of D&D I've been in, players have controlled more than one character. So it's not an unusual thing to want.
