Oh.. ha, didn't even notice that.  Meh.

Alright, probably a less stupid question- Mitch at the Hub general store has shovels.  I want to buy one so I can give it to Dan for that miniquest and still have one to shovel with.  It's only worth $1; I tried to trade a piece of meat jerky ($5) for the shovel and four caps.  Mitch accepted the trade, took the jerky, gave me the caps, but I got no shovel.  I traded again, one cap for the shovel, lost the cap, and again, no shovel.  Do I have to get rid of mine first or something?  I'm extremely reluctant to do so without being certain I'll be able to get another.

It is your Luck that affects it the most. Skill just affects your accuracy, but that 95% leaves a 5% for a miss and therefore always the chance for a critical miss, since you have 1 Luck. Also, your Strength affects it if you are using a weapon that requires more than the Strength you have. E.g. that Tommy Gun you have requires 6 strength, but if you only have 4 that leaves a lot of way for a critical failure.

After 110% it takes more skill points to put into a skill to produce the same effect.

Well that helps, plus I was using Tommy gun only because it was a gun i was given for free, and the only gun in ncr vendors where there was a plentifulish amount of ammo.

After 100%, not 110% ;p
Getting from 100% to 101%(102% if skill is tagged) consumes 1 SP, from 101% it's 2.

Because you holding a shovel in your main hand / off-hand, and it stack in one slot. That means you're holding 2 or 3 shovels now.

Hello, I have fallen out of trading two or three times in a row... and a trader won't trade anymore. I start a conversation and when I click barter or trading dialog option the dialog closes completely. Is this permanent? Does it wear of in time? If I can not trade with these (general store in Hub and happy one in VC), it is a serious setback. Maybe enough for me to start a new character. How is this solved in game and what should I do to reverse these consequences?
Also: where is that guy in Gecko that teaches EW?When I got there I got shot by mercs that were idle and all of a sudden BAM! me dead and they weren't even looting? What is that?

e.g. Chosen soldiers.

There is a timer for bartering, if u dont finish barter in some time and u r currently dragging some countable stuff(caps,ammo), u'll get "ban" for barter. Restarting the game helps, there's no need to starting a new char :p . The EW guy in Gecko is in the Power Plant at the end.

There is no 'ban' in bartering it is simply a bug, not that I have even had this bug unless you are talking about how the cursor doesn't change after the barter window closes, so you have to reclick somewhere to change your cursor or else it doesn't do anything.

OK thanks. I thought game is less merciful than pk-s. Bugs seem less .... disturbing. Thank you for all the answers.
