I've always said that 2 is only as scorned as it is by the internet because it was the sequel to Origins. I've also always liked Hawke the most out of the main characters, but that might just be because I can make him as much of a smart ass as I am
As for the Arishok he along with Loghain have my respect, just because their motives aren't just "I'm the bad guy. I'm going to take over the world. I was promised power and I didn't get it so I'm going to throw a massive tantrum". Unfortunately for the Arishok Loghain has one of; if not my favourite quote in the series.
