Huh, I took the elder brain and the mind flayers as a variation of the Borg Queen / Borg drones trope. Perfectly fine and not at all silly. Even other forces trying to take advantage of that power makes sense. It's more how the story was told that bothers me, taking away any agency from the player (perfectly represented by the Emperor) and providing no closure. It seems rushed and uncomplete (Orpheus for example) compared to many side quests/ stories. I've got the impression they ran out of time to tell the main story properly.
