I mean that would probably be pretty intimidating if Vivec said that shit to you. Especially when he pulls out his god dick spear.

Developers should normalize being able to say really messed up stuff like this and having the NPCs react like "Nah, I'm out, peace. Ese Loco."
I know Miraak is a really bad dude, but I always felt sorry for him because he made a bad decision and got eternally fucked and is just trying to escape. And the game forces you to make the same bad decision to defeat him, which implies that down the line you're going to be in his place (although I've pledged my character's allegiance to just about every Daedric entity, so I enjoy the thought of them all fighting over who gets them in the end). I wish there was an option to join forces with Miraak to free him from Apocrypha while also liberating the people of Solstheim from his influence.
It doesn't make sense on a narrative level. The whole point of the questline is that you have no autonomy; you're just a crop for him to sow and harvest. A lot of the gods don't give you that sort of choice either, telling you to do as you're told or not finish their quest. The ones who don't are usually testing you to see if you're worthy.
