It's not that kind of game.
An instant classic you mean with very high replay value? Such as all the Wizardries, M&Ms, Darklands, Realms of Arkania, ToEE, Gold Box games, Buck ROgers, WL1 and 2, JAs, etc?
Do you think Dungeon Rat would be better or worse with full party creation? Your exceptions to this rule all have combat that would be way better designed for full party creation, or combat that isn't so great propped up by the genius of Tim Cain (such as Arcanum and the two real FOs). Yes, AoD, Dungeon Rats, Underrail, et al, would be significantly better as games because full character generation not only leads to much better combat, but objectively much better games since all these games are combat heavy.
This is your chance to help make RPGs greater again. Like they used to be. When full party generation was standard. I believe in you. Don't let Cleve destroy you in the greatness department by having full party generation and you sticking to this weird recruitment/xp hit thing. I believe in you. You can do it! Cut their fucking heads off.
