Hmm... I don't think I'd like it If they made his alcohol dependency a main trait. He's neither charming, old nor pathetic enough to quite pull that off. He's already not likeable, so that weakness can't take further hits.
Wyll isn't quite the same kind of noble as Astarion. I'm starting to think they wanted him related to that one guy who protected Bg for... Reasons. Plot Reasons?
Still, he doesn't seem nearly as faceted to me as Gale or Shadowheart. He's almost got nothing going on for him, which wouldn't be a problem... If he were charismatic. If they go from slightly too 2D to 1D, might as well use a trashcan and start over new.
