People they are just CHARACTERS! Their scripts were written long before you even heard of BG2! What do you want, an AI that can make up stuff on the fly? Try to appreciate the literary aspect of what was accomplished here. So far all I've seen are characters that are well thought out and very cleverly versed. Just because a character has a bad trait doesn't make them a "bad character", just the opposite! They each have a unique personality that had to be crafted over weeks and months of work in an intricate web of events, places and other characters. Not only that, but unlike any character from a novel or movie, they had to be written for "most" possible outcomes.
No, these are anything but bad characters. They are about the richest characters I've ever seen in any form of literature, and in spite of the setting they are among the most realistic too.
