Hi! thanks for the feedback!
1) For this point, our biggest challenge is trying to be as clear as possible without adding more text, as that would significantly increase the word count for translation. However, we have further UI changes planned to address this
2) That is indeed the case for the main cast! If Gwendan dies, his aunt will have something to say about it
3) We understand that this can be frustrating, but it's a key part of the game's balancing and decision-making process. However our goal here is to better "warn" players when choosing which quests to send knights on as a deadline approaches in order to prevent that frustration
