Should I Let Emmerich Become A Lich?
Letting Emmerich become a lich is usually best for power-focused, morally flexible, or replay-oriented playthroughs where you want unique undead-themed abilities and story branches. It is risky on heroic, romance-focused, or first-time runs because the choice may lock out quests, damage companion relationships, and alter faction standing. Before deciding, save your game, review your roleplay goals, and check the specific consequences for your title.
