Not a shoe person then? Hehe.

I totally get the Morrigan thing, cause she's awesome... but Alistair does some pretty hypocritical things himself (lol Redcliffe hissy fit) and tends to side with Leli/Wynne on a lot of issues... how can he be your fav when you hate them? I'm genuinely curious.

Oh I know Alistair is a big doofus sometimes.

It's a personality thing.  Also it took me a couple playthroughs before I finished Leli's personal quest, and when I first started hearing her talk about being a bard, I did a headspin.  She's got that syrupy smile and in her cooing voice is talking about seduction and torture, and I'm looking at the screen thinking "wha?"  I just find her creepy, in addition to being annoying.  And similarly with Wynne.  I really think the writer is dastardly.  She's written these characters who on the surface are like warm pillows and hot chocolate, but when I actually listened to some of the things they say, I found myself thinking, "you know, that's pretty f'ed up."

I also think we weren't meant to play the game a dozen times or two.  The things that sort of annoy you on the first playthroughs begin to really grate after multiple runs.  Hence, shoes --> monitor smashing.

This is kind of what makes me wince when people talk about Leliana as the Good Girl. She's "Good" only when compared to Morrigan, and even then only because of her rejection of her old life and attempt to reform. She tells you about the men and women she seduced and betrayed and jokes about the people she (may have) killed, all in a happy cheerful voice. She implies that your Character can't be sure if she really loves him (don't know if the conversation is the same for female PCs) or if she's just using him. She tells the (male) PC that she doesn't love him as passionately as she did Marj.

I really like Lel, heck I like all of the NPCs as characters, but I completely understand saying "Back off, creepy girl!"

To quote Shale: "Familiarity breeds contempt" 

Back on topic:

origins: Wynne (I am soo old, look at my old bones, nono dont worry I can do this, but I am sooo old *sigh*)
awakenings: Oghren/Velanna (They murdered Oghren's character here and Velanna is just bleh)

Oghren, hands down. I've seen the dwarven warrior before, and I've seen the washed-up dwarven sot before, and I've seen the dirty lecherous dwarf before, and y'know, they've been done better elsewhere. Repeatedly. Oghren made me want to claw my own eyes out within two chatter conversations of getting him.

Right, and hence when people talk about the DLC and how compatible Leliana and Alistair supposedly are and how good she'd be for him...  Sorry to Leli fans, but the idea of Alistair in the bard's clutches is not a happy thought.

When I contemplate it,  I can empathize with how Rowan felt in TST.
