Anomen's bitterness and emotional instability come from what they call "troubled childhood". If the bad boy is knighted, his attitude changes, maybe because he gets +2 bonus to his wisdom.
His quest revolving around tragic family events is quite good imo. To me, the most annoying thing was Anomen's voice, not his attitude.

How anyone, especially females, can tolerate that scumbag is beyond me, and it does make me wonder about the folks at Bioware. How come the only romanceable male in the game is a proto-typical Male Chauvanist Pig, is that a reflection on their attitudes? Did the developers at Bioware base Anomen on themselves? I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, the computer gaming industry is notorious for being chauvanistic and sexist.

I guess scarceness of romanceable males reflects gaming statistics: this is boys' world.
A dark, brooding misfit knight is probably Bioware’s version of “most eligible bachelor”: Anomen, Casavir… or Carth who was kinda a brooding Jedi knight.

I agree - I find those ethnic hairdos and body piercing excessive and tasteless, in a fantasy RPG. And if you recall Nameless One, he had a similar Bad Hair Day.
