They also felt epilogues would detract from the ending and thought a 2 min talk on the beach was enough. Sometimes you do stupid shit, like Larian did by forcing you to be under the Emperors control the entire game. Who honestly enjoys not having their own fate in their own hands for 89 out of 90 hours? Come on.

And FYI, I did not even see Daisy in EA, I am going off of what others have posted. The way the guardian you make at the start of the game end up not even existing feels like bad game design, why on earth would I care about making my guardian from now on? Daisy could have easily been made less obviously evil. And she could also easily have the same function as the guardian has now if she was a real person. It all just falls apart when the Emperor shows up and your character never existed and you are forced to non-sensically side with him because reasons.
