I'm really starting to hate the dream visitor

I've finished the game twice now, both times siding with the Emperor and letting him eat Orpheus's brain. This play through I already decided I was going to free Orpheus, but knowing the full truth behind what the Emperor is, who he is, why he is, what he is hiding, and why - it makes me hate him. He is the biggest liar in the game and he does so by omitting anything of substance and essentially feeding you the line "just trust me, bro". Each time you peel back more layers to him it's just, "well yeah, but what I said before wasn't untrue."
