omg what should I do, PC?"
His complete lack of agency is jarring. This dude asks you to decide his fate at every turn. Contrast this with how Shadowheart reacts when you dare to suggest that killing the imprisoned girl might be a bad idea. There the game punishes you with a dice challenge of 30 for "not trusting your fellow companion to make up her own mind".
Don't get me started on the Balduran reveal. It's terrible on its own, but the Emperor can also suddenly decide to join the enemy in the destruction of the city he founded... What a horrific writing.
