[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 1760481, member: 2209"] The imprint reacts based upon pure alignment interaction, not based on awareness of the person interviewing it, not based upon its past history of interacting with the person. "The corpse, however, cannot learn new information." New information includes such things as an awareness of the person questioning it or what is currently happening to it. The limits of what can be provided are "it can speak with all the knowledge that the creature had while alive." An awareness of the current situation is not knowledge it had when alive. Having awareness of the current situation seems inconsistent with only having the knowledge it had when alive. From that line of the spell it seems pretty clear that "If the creature’s alignment was different from yours, the corpse gets a Will save to resist the spell as if it were alive." is purely a reaction, not a conscious choice.
