I recently started playing Dragon Age: Origins, and immediately fell in love with one of the characters: Alistair. He's goofy, sarcastic, sexually naive, and... Oohh... He's straight! Luckily, with the right fan-made modification, Alistair can be "gay" (by tricking the game that you're female).
The world of Dragon Age is similar to Lord of The Rings. There are wizards, elves, demonic creatures, knights, kings, and war. Set in Ferelden, a fantasy world, the people in the game has their own god called Maker. At the start of the game, Ferelden is about to get obliterated by the Blight (demonic plague/war). The player can position himself/herself as a human noble, an elf, or a dwarf. Player will get the role as a Grey Warden (something like peace-keeping warriors) and travel the land to unite the races. As the player travels and meets many people in needs, he/she will be accompanied by several characters. One of them is Alistair.
Alistair's biography is interesting. He's a bastard - his mom was a servant and his dad was a king. Since childhood, Alistair was raised by a noble called Arl Eamon before later he's sent away to a monastery. Long story short, Alistair was supposed to be a Templar but ended up being a Grey Warden.
Dragon Age allows romance for players: both straight love and gay love. Players can kiss a character and even make love him/her. Unfortunately, by default, the only gay male love interest is an UGLY ELF assassin called Zevran. Alistair, by default, is set to be a heterosexual man who's interested in female player.
It's very easy to get in love with Alistair. First, he's handsome. Second, he's goofy. In the game, Alistair doesn't get along well with the other companion: a witch called Morrigan. They love irritating each other. Some of their dialogue are amusing. Alistair himself is naive and sometimes talks in a funny way.
Some of Alistair's funny sentences:
* "Have you ever licked a lamp post in winter?"
* "They say you can get anything here. I once got pick-pocketed."
* "Why do they call it a 'brothel?' There's no broth. Or is there?"
* "*Sniffs* What is that smell? Fish? And something else. Oh... more fish."
* "What is that smell? Dwarven vomit? Charming."
