I freed Kate and she said she was leaving town, even if I charm her. Did I do stuff in the wrong order? The walkthrough doesn't seem to see this as a possibility, especially since I only just defeated the warlock ghost.
I will say that the progress flag logic for a lot of these quests can get super byzantine and hard to follow. An active quest log telling you what you need to do next would be a HUGE quality of life improvement over the (only sometimes correct) walkthrough system.This whole thing. Honestly I couldn't/didn't have the strength or want to get into a discussion about why he is still here
