I believe truly good characters (such as Erik) are not only exciting to play, they are rewarding because the anti-hero is so prevalent that to be true and good is unusual and stands out.
The difference between the neutral and anti-heroes, and a true hero is while all have some form of a tragic past, the neutral and anti-heroes allow it to define them, where as a hero uses the energy of it to push on and reinforce his values. He/she is like a devout religious person, they see everything as a sign that they are right, in the case of a hero they see everything as a sign that they are making a difference.
I love heroes. While the anti-hero is a tragic hero, the true hero rises above.
