Eh, to each his own. As I said, I'm not the touchy-feely type, so my tastes may be out of sync with those of "normal" people. Emotion doesn't carry the same weight for me when it comes to storytelling. Or if it does, I don't notice it. Which gives me the idea for another thread...
I don't think it's all about emotion, though.
One of my favorite fantasy characters of all time is San dan Glokta, a crippled torturer from Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy.
I wouldn't say he's full of emotion, but he has an endearing fatalistic irony about him, coupled with an amazing backstory I very much enjoyed learning.
