Many of the characters have serious flaws that made me dislike them to some degree when we first met, but as you get to know them and progress through the story, they grow on you or they grow into better people (assuming a relatively good playthrough), so I ended up liking all of them to some degree by the end.
Some of the most controversial/off-putting ones have the best character arcs such as Laezel and Astarion (ok, I always loved him despite his evil quirks).
The one I liked least was probably Wyll and I have to say, despite really hating his holier than thou attitude in the beginning, by the end I only avoided bringing him along because I never learned to build warlocks in a way that felt engaging to play.
I didn't hate anyone by the end, but I also tend to favor deeply flawed characters who grow into better people in all stories. They are just more interesting and realistic.
The only thing that saves Wyll is that his romance line is the most adorable tenderqueer shit imaginable, marred only by his incredible vanillaness.
