more haggling options

Post by Regnier »

is it possible to add options to various transactional windows to allow you to negotiate multiple terms?

Some requests can be a dungeon dive for 100 gold reward. Most players are likely to refuse something like that, but many would rather ask for a higher reward because of danger or distance, or offer to do it asap for a higher reward.

Maybe items could be haggled for along with gold?

Could charm spells have some effect on NPCs?

Arena had a barter window where you could negotiate items by countering with your own price. Theoretically, a new dialogue window with the counter option could be added to every price and allow you to type in an offer, check your merchantile skill and personality, and come back with counters.
I think it's very doable considering what others have changed in the game.

The dungeon dives are quests, those would have to be rewritten or new quests need to be made. A quest can give multiple rewards so that won't be a problem. You just need to be presented with the option to haggle before accepting. Custom buttons are also a thing, Hazelnut found a way to 'abuse' the existing system so this can probably already be done.

The trade window for shops can be customized although it might cause a conflict with those sorting / filter mods, I don't know.

oh ya, forgot about that, i always used that thing, you could knock the price down quite a bit. and you could also get a price for how long the repair would take, higher cost for shorter time. Thats a great system to bring back.

it would be cool to get something implemented,
you could barter with fences about how dangerous it was to get the item.
