One thing I like about the writing is that we don't get too much of a window into Lex's thoughts, allowing the player to interpret his motivations rather than spell them out to us. For example, personally I like Galatea, and imagine that Lex develops a genuine fondness for his "daughter", and the game doesn't tell me otherwise. Someone who thinks he's simply manipulating her, however, can also think that and the game doesn't contradict them either. You could say the same about pretty much any of the other girls, even the heroines to be honest. Lex bringing them to the cells could be simply for his own twisted amusement, or because he really wants to make them his.
