I'm enclosing this with spoiler tags just in case:
I saved Orpheus from the Astral Prism, which angered Emperor. So Orpheus sided with my party, and Emperor became our enemy and refused to help us fight the Elder Brain. Since we needed a mind flayer to fight Elder Brain, we had Orpheus transform into a mind flayer. At the end, we chose to destroy the Elder Brain, and all mind flayers along with it. After we did that, Orpheus did not die like the other mind flayers did. Why didn't he die? Shouldn't he die too? Later he did die, because he couldn't bear being a mind flayer so he offed himself. I bring up all this background detail just to make clear all the permutations I triggered. My question is just: why didn't Orpheus die the moment we killed the Elder Brain?
By the way, in Greek mythology, Orpheus...
goes to hell to save his wife, but fails at the last moment. That seems to be apt metaphor for the Orpheus in this game because he, too, is a similar type of tragic figure, at least with the permutations I got.
