Merchant Vessels at Sea

Are they evil? Originally, I thought their only crime was the prices of goods they sold. However, some of the NPCs seem to disagree with me. They have bounties on their head (literally). When the head is turned in the Captian's of those merchant ships are called villains. Are high prices a crime is there some sort of smuggling ring or is this a case of the coded response not being consistent with the in-game world actions.

Asking for a "friend" as I nor any of my characters (including my pirates) would ever attack a merchant ship.

They are not evil. The yellow miniboss tag you see and then the turn in dialog is just bad mechanics to the system. Since the yellow miniboss is a random thing that doesnt take align into account. Another way you can look at it is like this... Eamon of Sencliff wants the merchant ship captain heads.

Go to ship settings and click the.. "Engage evil only" toggle. You will see, or not see rather, which ships are non evil also that way.

Thank you I did this.
