I have to say that I thought the Alistair voice actor did an absolutely fantastic job bringing that character to life. I really did like him as a character, but I just kept seeing him like some kind of little brother.
I think maybe it's because it seems to me that Alistair isn't a guy that's grown into his manhood yet. He's still awkward in his own skin, he's still unsure of himself, etc.. if that makes any sense. And while I find that compelling in a character, I just don't find it particularly attractive in a romance. So I just couldn't get into him and enjoy the romance the way I did with Carth in KoTOR.
But I'm just really glad they got away from Carth clones and did something different. They definitely deserve credit for that - I just hope we're not going to see Alistair clones in the next ten Bioware games, lol.
