I am quite baffled at how one can find the emperor interesting considering how he has no personality at all and only reinforces the players attitude towards him based on the last dialogue choice. Is the player nice to him then he is good, if the player rejects him he is evil.

This is especially seen at the end when he joins the brain in the case of you rejecting him which makes 0 sense and is only done to let you fight him.

And while this is likely what will happen, if anything will happen at all, I do not want the emperor improved, but removed. This is simply such a bad, bland and forced character, including this nonsensical Balduran connection, that he is one large part of the reason why act 3 is such a letdown.
Not to mention that as long as the emperor exists the tadpoles will never be any threat like they should be as you only have one person "in your head" which you have to follow to make the story work (so no chance if rejecting him early) which thus also has to be so ambigious and bland that hes agreeable to everyone.

Adding the emperor is the 2nd worst change Larian did at the end of EA right after consequence free tadpoles, and those things are in the end connected.
