1. Astarian. I like his look and wouldn't change it all. Vampires are seductive, he's an elf and a noble so the hair works perfectly. Really good writing. His dominant traits come across: Confidence hiding a wounded neediness and insecurity, sadism, selfishness, laziness and haughtiness. Best of the current romances since the scars on his back work as good metaphor for the scars on his soul.
2. Wyll. Already commented. Really interesting character, nice example of a good person who made a deal with a devil.
3. Shadowheart. My initial favorite but she's gotten worse with each patch. She's supposed to be secretive, hard to understand, distrustful and mysterious but has suddenly gotten chatty, friendly and quick to trust. Not the way a Tsundre romance is supposed to work.
Reminds of how PoE ruined Woedica. She's god who, for thousands of years, has been working to make sure that no one knows the secrets of the gods. But, because some players had trouble following the plot, they made her into the friend that just won't stop texting. "Hey! Just want you to know the name of secret project that created all the gods" "Hey, just wanted to make sure you know that the gods were created by humans, not sure if you got my last 5 texts to that effect. Don't tell anyone! It's our biggest secret."
4. Gale. ugh. I just run around the gate so I never have to meet him again.
5. Lae'zel. Well written for the type but not a very interesting type. Every party needs a tank and she fits that role.
6. Not very excited by the idea of a paladin of vengeance who peppers every sentence obscenities into every sentence.
