Every So Often The Monkeys In My Brain Push The Button That Makes Me Remember My Little Crow And Everything

every so often the monkeys in my brain push the button that makes me remember My Little Crow and everything comes crashing down again

Feeling kind of dumb right now because nearly every "mystery" surrounding The Emperor is explained on the mind flayer page of the Forgotten Realms Wiki. The page isn't new, it was sitting right there this whole time. Highly recommend reading the entire thing, top to bottom. Following thoughts on the game are based on in-game info, and wiki info.

Is the Emperor looking out for Tav and their companions, or is he manipulating them to serve his own purposes? Yes.

Does the Emperor care about Tav at all, or are they becoming his thrall? Yes.

The Emperor has an extreme form of partialism, but is otherwise an ordinary mind flayer doing ordinary mind flayer things. He is the most fascinating monster I've seen in any form of media. As the mayor of Monsterfucker City, I hereby give The Emperor the key to our fair city. Such an inspiration to us all.

Baldur's Gate 3 is just found family held at gunpoint.
