Isn't this true for the companions too, tho? I do agree that it feels a lot more rushed when it comes to the emperor because obviously he's not really someone you hang around with like you do with the party members (and obviously doesn't have a visible approval meter) but when you get down to it it's not that different from being nice to Shadowheart or any of the other more 'evil' companions like Astarion and Lae'zel to soften them up.
