I really like Alistar, probably because when he starts of his personality and beliefs are almost blank. He's incredibly easy to please and you have to go almost out of your way to insult him. He, provided you do the extra quests and make him do certain endings, grows as a person a lot. He can change quite a bit and in the end I always like hardening Alistar and making him King, and I always appreciated how, even though not completely logical, Alistar stuck to his ideal of never again trusting Logain. It shows that he doesn't lack backbone about the things he truly believes in.
And for that matter, I really really like Logain's character. I love the idea of a flawed hero that either never realizes his mistakes, or at the very end, before it's too late, realizes his mistakes. Logain tried to do what he felt was right even though the methods were completely and utterly ridiculous. He was blinded by his paranoia of the foreign (I've forgotten names, forgive me) influence on Feredeln. I think this in a way makes him way more human than most evil dudes are given, and because the true evil has no human qualities that redeem them it makes Logain seem more and more anti-heroish. This is even more reinforced if you do recruit him, as he knows his actions are wrong and accepts them because someone had to make the decision. The dialogue about his own mabari and how Logain recognizes the soldiers he lost at Ostagar were almost tear jerking. Especially the mabari.
Though not asked for, I really dislike Morrigan's character if you don't choose to explore her romance path. She just seems spoiled because she has had the ability to do things others cannot and she doesn't grasp that people can't always empower themselves and that when facing a greater threat, working together and not Darwinism ideology is a better plan. I guess it's the liberal in my that hates the fact the puts so much emphasis on if a person lacks anything that means they can't get what they want, that they aren't worthy. In my own person life I've found out strong individuals just need a push, and not to be put down.
