Baldur’s Gate 3 has some of the most popular characters in the RPG niche, but there is one character that most players hate in the game.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is famous for its intricately designed characters and some of them have an immense fan following in the community as well. With each character being important to the storyline in some way, even the ones that have a negative impact on their journey have proved to be popular.

However, Baldur’s Gate 3 players are not fans of the Emperor, as his story is something many wish to avoid in the game. Although most of them appeared to not be bothered by him much at the beginning, soon the Emperor started to get on their nerves.

Reddit user ‘Mammoth-Ad-3642’ posted their opinion as they said: “I f***ing hate the Emperor.” Even though the OP first “liked him,” they added how the Emperor “made a move” on their character.

They continued: “And when I reject him he tells me that I’m his puppet and that he could take control of me at any time.” Additionally, they even decided to kill him, as they were just waiting for the Mind Flayer Tadpole to come out of them in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Someone even called the Emperor a “homewrecker” as he could peer into the players’ brains and make a move on them even after knowing that they have other partners. Many others were surprised and wondered: “Why is his shirt off?” when they simply wanted some sort of quest from him.

“I couldn’t take the plot seriously when Emperor started hitting on me,” said another player, while others him a “freak” after learning his intentions.
