Also, the Emperor completely forgets about that incident straight away, and will proposition you regardless.
You know I had a thought on this and really changed how I look at it now. Emperor used sex purely as a manipulation tool. The reason I say that is sexuality in nature exists as a way for procreation.
This argument doesn't hold in a fantasy setting where some species procreate differently. Laezel cannot reproduce at all and yet she can be romanced, and I don't think she manipulates the protagonist. Imo the emperor's sex scene is added just for shock value, same as with Halsin's bear scene.
And while I agree the emperor is trying to manipulate the player, it is a pointless manipulation because consuming the tadpoles like he wants does not impact the final choices in the story. It is just a powergaming mechanics to give additional powers.
Tbh, one of the reasons I dislike this character so much is because he seems so pointless compared to Daisy.
