Controlling you to survive. Do you know what he does when you approach that bridge to the Upper City and it's Gate? Have you tried ignoring his pleas to turn back? He takes control of your body and teleports you back, his words being "If you do not listen to reason, I will solve this myself". And for some reason it's the only time (aside from the first tadpole extraction from Edowin if you fail skillchecks - Durge has no skill checks for that btw.) he does take control of Tav.

That's because the Upper City is not a playable area.

And yes. He wants to survive and he wants you to survive. It's not a terrible goal, despite what you might think.

Oh I know, Upper City is not a playable area. But Larian could've thought of something more elegant than just yeeting you 20 meters back and making it look as if the Emperor did it.

And survival is not a bad goal, but the question is: at what cost? Cough cough Orpheus cough cough
