Advanced reputation use
« on: July 20, 2011, 08:45:02 am »

what if there would be no restriction at all for all traders in whole wasteland, BUT, you got to have good reputation in selected town to trade there... lets say, you do a quest for NCR, you finish it, you get your reputation to 300(max), youre able to trade with any npc in NCR.
this would require quests in every towns though, but i think they should be repeatable (you dont get any prize, only reputation higher, but not higher than 300), in Klamath, you have to kill 5 geckos and collect all their hides, you get 50 rep in Klamath by giving them to specific NPC. after getting 30 hides, youre accepted to trade with any person.... (that was just an example of what ive thought about)

and, to make it not abusable, when the negative reputation is gonna rise by time (till -100), only then you can do those quests (if its -101, you cant do it, youll have to wait till itll rise). this would stop players from getting good rep even if they kill NCR Army 24/7. so this is basically useful for those who DONT wanna f...k up reputation with specific town(s)

If you kill ncr army 24/7 u will quickly get -5000 so any quest wont help:]
but still its a nice idea i think.

I see only another anoying trade restriction. I dont see any value added to current system.

Currently it would mean that you would have to grind some repeatable quest with your barter alt. And it would require most probably making different barter alt.

I understood the suggestion as a work around for low charisma characters, not a mandatory trade right for all characters. But I might be wrong...

Thing is that low-charisma chars barelly care about trading, if anything they might use a doctor when they are seriously fucked up.

As it is now, usualy only loners, beginners and crafters use charisma to trade, so not being able to trade at all is merelay a 'bat'. Like several more things that's been named in past and some of those has been resolved already (eg. worldmap speed).

correct...

and nothing annoyning is in that, if 1cha character needs to trade, he will have sacrifice hes time to do quests, while charismatic person can trade from a start.

1ch you can collect radios and sell them for 200-300 caps each in ncr for example.

thats true now, but maybe this will help to curb alting a bit since 1 charisma characters will have the opportunity to trade by doing these quests (which is a lot easier than training a trader alt).

Imo there is no magic bullet to curb alting, and we need lots of little cumulative things like this to discourage it or make it unnecessary.
