Although we see the world through Fitz's eyes in The Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies and he is a very engaging character, I doubt that many of us would actually wish to be Fitz (an emotionally repressed, brain damaged, drug addicted, absent father with confidence issues and violent tendencies, whose closest friend is a wolf).
This is one thing I do like as well as you
But... I'd say even with all of his problems Fitz is my most favorite character. Probably because it makes him very human to me and I could see myself in some things he did...
