The cast in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is one of the most developed gaming has seen recently, so it\u2019s no surprise that the community has formed strong opinions on most of them. We\u2019ve already seen how popular the main party members can get, and several NPCs have also become fan favorites. However, when it comes to the Emperor, a lot of players don\u2019t know what to think. Instinctively, he\u2019s easy to hate. He\u2019s a Mind Flayer, which a lot of players will have visceral reactions to, most of the companions don\u2019t trust him, and he catfishes you as the guardian. Despite this, some players are warming to him now that the dust has settled after the game\u2019s release, leading many to wonder if the Emperor was all that bad. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player defends the Emperor\u2019s actions In a post on the official Baldur\u2019s Gate subreddit, one player claimed that they trusted the Emperor from the start, even after the guardian disguise was revealed. They said: \u201cI actually didn\u2019t feel manipulated or suspected his intentions even after learning all sorts of stuff about him in Act 3. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s not the white knight he claimed he is, he definitely prioritizes his own objective, but is it a bad one though? \u201cIn the end, it\u2019s true that the elder brain is a threat to all living things, and if I didn\u2019t miss anything he just wants to remove that threat as much for Orpheus or any of our companions.\u201d For many players, the fact that the Emperor wasn\u2019t actually the guardian they designed at the beginning of the game was something they couldn\u2019t get past. As one player put it: \u201cAs soon as I found out he wasn\u2019t really a blonde high elf babe, I was mad at him for the rest of the game.\u201d For more news and updates about Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, check out what the devs have planned for their next big game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players divided over the Emperor\u2019s morality Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are divided over the morality of the Emperor, one of the most significant characters in the game.
