Daisy never struck me as being sentient. Whether or not it was intended the scenes with her felt like they operated on dream logic, much like our interludes in Baldur's Gate II, so calling her evil doesn't quite fit. I was really hoping for some rug pull to come later on where her seemingly sinister designs would be given more nuance, making our attitude to it ironic.

The Emperor plot does nothing like that,
he starts out suspect, you learn he's more suspect, then you learn he's sinister. What movtivates you sacrifice yourself to become a Mind-Flayer like him isn't really addressed. And unlike many places in the story, there's no creative way to approach this moral conundrum, you're forced to fight for him or the game ends, you can find out more about him and his previous life, but it doesn't really come into play in a way say, a talking The Master down down in Fallout did. For being such a important character in the main plot, we're mostly passengers in his story, which is why I think a lot of people are frustrated by him.
I'm not sure how a Paladin is supposed to complete the game honestly.

This might be a little tenous but did anyone else think the training the Githzerai brain you find under Moonrise gives you, was going to come into play later on when dealing with the Elder Brain?
