Daisy is one of the biggest disappointments to me, based on what I heard they changed her/ him because people didn't like having it be a '' surprise lover '' thing ( it wasn't even rly a surprise tho, ppl couldn't take the hint xD? ).
Altho uh, they still did that but even worse.
I've played A LOT of RPG's in my life, and the Emperor trying to get inside my pants was probably the only time a romance thing in a game has genuinely weirded me out and made me gone '' wtf were they thinking? '' lol...
I mean the game is already bizarrely horny and I say that as someone who enjoys '' fanservice '' and lewd stuff, the characters were very pushy and annoying with it but the Emperor was just on another level.

Imo I think the moment the Emperor was introduced is when the plot started to nose dive and become less interesting, every time I think about replaying the game again I just think about him and the direction the game goes in.
I didn't know he was based on some existing guy in the lore, so it didn't really affect my opinion in any way.
But finding out about it just kinda feels silly, like there's a bit too much '' memberberries '' maybe.
But I really didn't like at all how the game turned from a personal quest to find a cure and deal with more human villains who can ( or could've given different writing direction ) potentially be reasoned with, to a Mass Effect space alien invasion.
The cosmic stuff just felt like an unnecessary escalation just for the sake of it, it all felt very sudden and like the game just bombarded you with way too much that kinda made everything else feel irrelevant.

( Also the scene with him telling his backstory was oddly cheesy, maybe weird pet peeve but it felt like '' Emperor propaganda '' lmao, like it was trying REALLY hard to establish him as a good guy. )

The weird thing about romance and sex in the game is it feels like we have too much control because literally everyone is bisexual and worships the ground that you walk on seemingly by default, and then when they could actually have done something interesting like Daisy deceiving you through seduction nah can't do that.
I mean it's not like you couldn't have had the option to resist it, it's just disappointing to me that people complained about it and that they changed it.

Sometimes I just think it's better to not indulge the player 100%, even tho I do think the characters generally are better written in BG3 it's still something I felt was refreshing in WoTR.
There's a character I was planning on romancing from the start, but she just wasn't into women ( and was quite '' descriptive '' about it and what she liked lmao ).
I spent quite a bit of time in the game trying to romance her but then she was just like '' nah I don't swing that way '', altho I was a bit disappointed it still makes the characters feel more real and like their existence isn't just about stroking your ego or indulging your own fantasy 100%.
