The thing with the Emperor is very funny to me because he is trying out a new method of manipulation and is just failing horriblly. His whole "friendship & romance" game feels like an unintentional parody of how he watched the player and their companions progress their relationships, he analysed you and is now following a checklist but does not quite grasp the emotional significance of certain actions. What I find regretable about this is - again - that you cannot discuss his advances with your companions. If I remember correctly, it is suggested that should you decided to enjoy a bit of squid, the whole gang watches. This implies that they might also witness his angry outburst if you make his plan crumble and I really want to talk to my companions about this particular outcome - I'd especially like to talk to Wyll about it.

The whole brothel situation is a mess but I think you should at least be able to get away from the relatively neutral "Agreement? What kind of agreement?" without negative consequences. At the moment there isn't even an option for your own character to express that they themselves aren't interested in that sort of agreement. I am not sure what it looks for Shart, but if I click the option with Gale as my character's partner, I have to be cruel to him to get out of the situation. I really don't like that, both because I do not want to be cruel to him and because I dislike how my character is characterised through this lack of an option to say "no" for their own sake.

As for Gale, maybe adding something like "I'd much rather get lost in a book with you." could be nice, sounds perfectly lame to the kinky crowd but if you know, you know.
