Hes tough, direct and to the point, it may be a little rude but I mean come on, hes constantly having nightmares fighting darkspawn and has lost about 30 or so years on his life, give him a break and as for him being unsure as to whether to let bethany/ Carver join the GWs I dont think thats a bad thing. I mean hes perfectly right if my warden was given someone out of the blue to make join the wardens id think oh great its another Mhairi.

Because his moustache is not epic enough. I mean, it just kinda droops. And only once(in my playthroughs) did I ever have to rely on Stroud to save my sibling, so I'm not really in a position to hate him.

I didn't know anyone disliked him. He coulda been hotter, especially since he's Voice of Riordan.

 Because the only reason he refuses to help fight the Qunari is he has a disco to get to:

I liked Stroud. Even though he's just a stand in for Alistair (if you didn't leave him in the wardens)

I liked Stroud as well; he seemed to embody the grim attitude you would expect from a Grey Warden.

Precisely this. The moustache hints at great things; a possibility of a true titan among moustaches, but ultimately ends with drooping disappointment.

:unsure:

Some people are angry at him for doing what a Grey Warden is supposed to do: Not sticking his mustache in other people's buisness

I didn't mind Stroud. I just accept that he's a grey warden. So he's not gonna be hannngggin around, gettin' involved in other nation's affairs.

I found Stroud to be the best looking male character in game. The Wyatt Earp look does it for me. He deserves his own "Bioware please make Stroud a romancable character in DA3" thread. <3

Also, I want his armor.

I'm more curious about what is so important the GW's have to go do it (even your sibling if you go that route) during Act 2 that they don't care that the city is going to hell in a handbasket with only Hawke and a few companions to stand between all the innocent civilians and the Arishok.
Otherwise, I thought he was a grim, humourless ****** which is what I have come to expect from the majority of GW leaders.

Wardens don't get involved in politics. They didn't do anything during the Qunari invasion for example.

Is the city being attacked by darkspawn?  Are darkspawn in any way involved?  No?  Then the Grey Wardens are supposed to stay the hell out of it regardless of any innocent civilians.  They start getting involved, and it's Sophia Dryden all over again.

I don't know, my Warden in Ferelden was hip deep in politics both before and after the Blight. And if Alistair is a king, that's about as involved in politics as you can get. I get the feeling whatever they were doing was far more urgent than rescuing one city. I really doubt Bethany or Carver would have just blown off Hawke for a sightseeing trip.
Doesn't change the fact that I dislike Stroud because he is a humourless, grim ******.

And Duncan would disapprove of those actions, as would Stroud.

Remember that section of the Dark Roads where the Ancient Rock Wraith was?

Remember that one entrance  afterwards that was sill magically sealed?

There's something down there. :o

I think Duncan losing his life was a more pressing issue (to Duncan) than the Warden getting involved in politics. And Stroud was a non entity in DAO.
Like I say it seemed to be more than just "we're nuetral" and I think (esp when you talk with Nathaniel) that something bigger was going on than just a Qunari invasion of one city. (Perhaps they are trying to head off a new Blight?) GW or no, your sibling isn't going to just blow you off and run off with the wardens just because of political nuetrality. I think there is something else behind that scene. And would be curious to see more/what it is.
