the best suggestion i could offer for the emperor would be to remove him entirely, for me his addition to the game is the reason the whole main story sux. he is merely a vehicle for larian to legitimize and encourage the use of the ilithid powers. As some others have said it almost feels like they removed daisy and added emperor because folk werent using the illithid powers they took the time to develop, so adding himand giving him a backstory you could empathise with would make (not to mention have him try to strong arm you into using said powers at every opportunity the entire game) us more likely to use them.

The real sin is the removal of choice he represents. you cant tell him to get fecked at the end of act 2 when he is revealled or the game simply rolls the credits on you. but at the end of act 3 you are placed in the exact same situation as act 2 but suddenly you can tell him to get fecked and he throws a hissy fit and decides to side with the evil he wants to remove.... utter nonsense.
