I really don't get the "self-centered" criticism. As with most character complaints on the BSN forums, "I find your lack of [nuance] disturbing."
Shes arrogant, thinks her ignorance is a right and that anyone else with a more educated and broader understanding of the world is stupid.
She spends all her time "sticking it to" the nobles of Thedas via her little inverted Robin Hood thing, but really when it comes down to it, all she cares about is that she wins in the end.
Shes a petulant child that gets wildly upset if you disagree with any of her preconceived notions...I actually let her murder a noble in her quest, but when I try to tell her that there could have been another way to solve that problem, she violently rejects it and refuses to see any other point of view.
She says shes fighting for the "little people, the commons"...but shes really just enriching herself at the expense of everyone else, using the common people of Thedas as her excuse to willfully murder people, steal their money and enrich herself.
Sure, she can be funny at times and even cute..but funny and cute doesn't plaster over that amount of internal ugliness. It doesn't excuse her blatant profiteering of what should actually be a noble cause. Shes not helping the downtrodden, shes helping herself to the downtrodden....like its a buffet where she can choose what she wants and benefit from their problems personally.
Her personality is disgusting to me.
