And in the next dialogue everything is forgotten.

I've seen this complaint a few times, and I fully believe it's (as I mentioned above) due to his relative lack of dialogue lines - possibly due to them running out of time to write fuller dialogue scenarios for him. I think both Emperor fans and detractors would appreciate getting more scenes that reflect our attitudes towards him. Just as an example, it makes very little sense for him to initiate a romance scene with someone who's been antagonistic to him. They would not have done it with a companion, and they should not do it here.

The emperor puts everything he likes or wants aside to focus on an ultimate goal, yes he always supports us whatever we do (unless it compromises his ultimate plan)… but never offers to help our companions by at least giving names of influential people who might be relevant to solving their personal problems after the mission.
He doesn't respond when we manipulate the prism, even in Act 3 when things are calm, he is the one who comes to us every time and under the conditions he sets. We have no control over anything even if we are called "allies".

I believe that the little he says or chooses not to say and the way he acts (taking into account his powers), is at least as relevant as some clear dialogue lines could provide.

His romance sounds weird to me too but because he wants to spend time with us right after realizing that his only thrall is dead, very suspicious. Especially since he has no genitals and never shows any attraction for humanoids(?)
Was this scene a real intention of the writers or just called by devs?
