Buying Brahmin Hides from Herdsmen via dialogue

(1/5) > >>

Eternauta:
Herdsmen could sell Brahmin Hides. These should not be present in his inventory, but you could get them via dialogue, and they should always be available. The dialogue could be something like this:

Player: I was wondering if you had any brahmin hides on sale.
Herdsman: Sure thing! How many are you willing to buy?
Player: [can now choose to buy, say, one, two, five or ten hides]

The price should be a bit more expensive, like 120 or even 150 caps. Because, if you knew you will always be able to get them for 100 caps, you would never buy hides from a Player, unless they sell them for less than 100 caps but it might not be an attractive business.

EDIT: Giving a better answer to Michaelh139's critic, caps spent on hides should go to the herdsman's inventory. This way, those caps would still exist in the game world instead of dissapearing, otherwise caps would become even harder to get.

Surf:
Price is a bit too low, but it's a good idea imo.

150 you mean? you might be right, perhaps 200 is good, considering the newbie would stay protected in a guarded town and all, so he can make enough money. And by the time he gets the 10th hide he would have more xp.

Michaelh139:
Please tell me the caps would be going somewhere, cus this looks like just another caps dump to me and they're hard enough to find already.

John Ryder:
This would completely ruin those that hunt brahmins and sell their hides. Why would someone buy large quantities of skins from a player when he could just go to the NPC? I don't like that. First you want to have player-driven economy and then you say NPCs should sell infinite amounts of hides. And don't give me the price bullshit because 100 caps difference for a big gang is nothing.
