Shops, Merchants, and Traders, oh hell.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Deadeye:
As a returning player from over a year ago I can safely say, the merchant situation is ridiculous. There really seems to be no way in telling what they will buy, even if they seem to have bought a lot of the items previously. I wasn't even looking for caps, just trying to get a few small guns instead of farming for a week trying to get my first craft skill so I can make an SMG. Everything I put in the window, I'm offered 0 caps.

Tried merchants in HUB, Klamath, NR, Redding, then finally NCR. I understand that it will be better when people can't sell the most random of things, but I'm trying to sell things like spiked knuckles, grenades, leather armor etc. On top of that you have people in guarded cities waiting in guarded merchant tents to steal, which makes a whole lot of sense. So after 2 days of trying to sell stuff, I was robbed in an instant and back to square one. I can live with that, the reason I play is because I enjoy risk vs reward, and hardcore based games. But at this point the reward is nothing, and the risk is everything.

Michaelh139:
It was mentioned that reputation was more important than barter skill for prices going in your favor.  (although i think it should be 50/50....)

We need more ways to get reputation with the various merchants and their factions.



NCR and VC don't like mutants.  Killing ghouls and super mutants will give reputation but negate for Gecko and Broken Hills.

New Reno needs encounters for each of their factions in random encounters.  Killing bishops increase mordino and vice versa.

etc etc...

blahblah:

You must be doing something horribly wrong. I've returned playing after two years and have no problems with shops. There's even filter buttons at the bottom.
Hub: Go to general store to sell grenades, hunting rifles, shotguns. Go to gun store to sell spiked knuckles, junk, fruit, weak healing powder, xander root, etc. Armours can be sold to the guy in the east section of the town.
NCR: Hunting rifles, shotguns, weapons can be sold to the two guys in the front yard. Fruit and others can be sold in Rusty's bar and in the bar down south where you can also learn awareness.

Trokanis:
I believe the limitations on venders have been secretly removed.  Venders who previously would not buy my stuff now buy it, same character no more rep or barter.

avv:
Why don't shops restock motion sensors anymore? I haven't seen any after the first day/week of this session.

Doesn't seem like it.
