I think that he's as about as charming as any Hollywood grade "pretty boy".
At first i thought that he is one of those "center-of-attention-hyperactive-sarcastic-guys", then he started whining and crying (oh boo hoo poor Duncan) at that point i was almost sure that he is going to have homosexual romance lines... but since they never came up i can safely say that he is a drama queen, sarcastic bastard that hides some deep psychological issues and dodge answers by giving witty replies.
If i weren't playing "good" character i swear i would have used every humiliating line on him and then smashed his face with a mace the moment i got an opportunity.
Well, there you are. You weren't born a bastard of the king and kept hidden for political reasons and sent off to some religious school to have no motherly upbringing. It's not that he's a hollywood pretty boy, but that men who can express honest emotions are far more interesting than men who are all closed off and bluff around instead of just feeling what they're feeling.
Human sensitivity is not a weakness. A guy mourning someone who just died violently and needlessly, someone he thought of like a father (because his father hid from him)... how painful is that?... well, you can either mourn, or maybe be all sealed off like a tin can without an opener (that is a relationship killer) or...you can be a gang banger and go out and shoot for revenge. Living in some parts of Los Angeles is like living in a war zone because of that kind of thinking. In real life.
Lighten up! I think the consensus is in, most of us like a guy who isn't like wood at the core.
I didn't think Alistair was whiny at all.
