I find it interesting that all the Alistair bashers usually end up liking characters like say, Morrigan, when you compare Alistair to the rest of your companions hes really not all that bad.
Lets take a brief look at your party members.
Alistair whiny little man that doesn't want to lead or be king, pretends the Grey Wardens are the best thing since Skippy peanut butter, will end up leaving if you don't kill Loghain for his revenge.
Morrigan witch of the wilds who doesn't like anyone, never wants to help anyone else out and likes shiny jewelery to shut her up if you choose not to be a total **** to all NPCs in the game, or choose to not agree with everything she says. Even if you help her kill her mother who is trying to eat her soul and save her life for free, she will completely abandon you before the fight with the Arch Demon if you don't make a demon baby with her to save your own life. She admits that this is the entire reason she was helping you in the first place as well, she could give a s***less about the blight.
Sten anti social man who just follows order and not much else, he doesn't like talking with you and you get better approval from him if you treat him worse then a dog. Never seen it myself as I don't use him much but he will fight you for helping out in Redcliffe and not going strait for the Arch Demon. Most people won't even need him in their party but hes an option, after the battle he says he will not fight you in battle but will return home, his Quanari people will likely slay all Fereldan with no qualms about doing so, and yes he did murder an entire family including children for apperantly no good reason.
Oghren, drunk drawf who is looking for his wife and offers his help, hes pretty social and friendly and a good warrior, his one draw back is he would rather you gave his love Branka the anvil of the void so she can make golems by enslaving souls. However even if you choose to kill his wife he will help you until the last battle with the Arch Demon, one of your best companions imo.
Dog, obviously will do whatever you wish, never gets mad of upset about your choices, he is what he is, your dog.
Leliana, wacky bard who claims the Marker talks to her in his dream for attention, shes a pretty good fighter but is really religious and always wants to do the right thing and help others, never lieing to them for their own good however. The only time she will turn on you is if you decide to destroy the Urn of Sacred Ashes, as far as I know anyways, as long as you aren't an evil ****** she will follow you and stays until the final battle.
Wynne, preachy old grand mother figure that is too opinionated for her own good, she will frequently get into your love life babbling about how your supposed to be fighting a blight so your happy time with companions is a no no. She will turn on you if you destroy the Urn or if you decide to side with the templars, otherwise if you generally try to help people/ play a good character she stays until the end.
Zevran, assassin hired to kill you who failed, should you choose to let him live he will serve you and is rather easy to keep happy by giving him some gloves and boots. Will turn on you if he doesn't like you enough and runs into the Crows, otherwise he will stick by your side through most decisions you make, although he may not like some of them, I've found he pretty much doesn't really get upset about most things one way or the other as far as what you choose to do in situations. Also will fight by your side at the end if he doesn't betray you for low approval rating.
Just taking a look at the list really your two best character imo are dog and Oghren, those two will not betray you even if they don't like the decisions you make they will not fight you and attack you because of low approval ratings ether if someone knows more about what Oghren will do please inform me.
Most of your party has tried to kill you or will betray you in the end depending on choices you make, in fact one of the first two main characters will leave before the final battle even begins if you don't do what they want you to, Morrigan or Alistair. I would talk about Loghain but that guy has been trying to kill you and the Grey Wardens from day one, so hes no worse or better than your other companions. In the light of these things everyone wants to bash on Alistair like he betrays you more then the others will/do, as if his good nature somehow means its worse for him to do so. The PC, if they pay attention knows from day one he is not a true "GOOD" character like Wynne or Leliana is, both of those will always insist on doing whats right weather its good for them or not. Alistair however is a borderline character, sometimes willing to do evil if its for a greater good, and would perfer to do the right thing but its not always necessary.
Seriously though considering what most of your party would do to you its really funny to me how Alistair gets all the hate.
