Here you go: That's amazing! Thank you.

I'd like to make my own request for Deadfire-ification, please. Thanks!

It has nothing to do with helping a few ghosts on the starter island. Remember how you pledged to Berath that you'd return those souls to the Wheel and then you...didn't? Remember how the Pallid Knight took her due afterwards, reaping travelers at crossroads and taking the aged a little before their time? Turns out that Berath has a bone to pick with you personally as well. Gameplay-wise, it's annoying but hardly crippling. And the best way to get over it is to find some xaurips and skeletons and whatnot and have your party get them down to almost dead and then have your PC swoop in and end it (assuming your PC isn't a primary damage dealer).

When I finally ditched the Defiant for a junk, I decided to go with the theme and name her Intransigent.

It's not a bug. Your party can also kill bystanders with area effects. It's just very uncommon, I think, because there's relatively few enemies that you engage "in public" that use area-effect attacks, and most players tend to be careful about it.

Extensive googling shows that it appears not to do anything, and definitely nothing quest-related. Chalk it up to a loose end that someone forgot about during final editing.

Since there is, as far as we can tell, only one adra dragon in the world, it seems unlikely that all Superb armors require one...more likely, there's alternatives (parts of other dragons, maybe? The brain of a vithrak elder? Blood of a powerful ogre mage?). I also always figured that the thing with the adra dragon scale or sky dragon eye or whatever was a "quick way" to enchant things. Perhaps there's a longer, more drawn-out system of rituals with lots of apprentices and equipment and 7 days of chanting that can do the job using 10,000 xaurip tongues instead.
