Tks I think that answers my question as to whether it was a rushed release issue or deliberate writing.

I really dislike the whole Emperor storyline and Orpheus having to transform just makes it worse.

It also makes no sense that Orpheus can shield us from transformation but can’t shield the NB from reading our thoughts. I just think they made a real poor decision regarding Orpheus having to transform. The choice should have been either let the Emperor eat his brain or we free him and he fights alongside us as a Gith.

It’s an even stranger decision when you consider how much Larian seemed to like Gith characters. They could have given Orpheus some cool powers.
