After Fable III I most certainly do want a Reaver-style companion. Voiced by Stephen Fry even! Short of the disappointingly underdeveloped Masked Ball level he was one of the best bits of the game. And I've seen plenty of "evil" character who are not 'horndogs', guess you've just been unlucky! I do agree though, an evil character doesn't neccesarily have to be a sleazy, or even sexual, being - I just don't think they are always portrayed as such. In fact it's always seemed to me that more often than not it's the lackey or scoundrel characters who are sleazy in most cases.
A cheeky, unabashedly nefarious companion who my equally dastardly Hawke could have a lighthearted relationship with would be along the lines of what I'd be interested in seeing. Throwing intelligence into the mix would work too, I could take or leave 'hornyness' of any degree.
Eh. Stephen Fry used to be one of my heroes, but when I
actually did some internet research on him, I found out that he's a gigantic jerk. In many, many ways. I ignored it at first, because I loved A Bit of Fry & Laurie, but...oh well.
Reaver just went too far, to me. He didn't get any comeuppance, it seemed, because Lionhead really loved him. From a story perspective, he was too dangerous to keep alive. If I was allowed to kill him, I'm sure I wouldn't have disliked him so much.
And I was speaking in terms of romantic interests in video games.

Yeah--plenty of evil characters don't have a lusty bone in their body. But when they're romantic interests, they always seem to.
