I'm sure this topic is covered somewhere, but I did a few searches and couldn't find a thread for it.
What types of vendors can we expect in the game?
- If the game can fit them, a big variety is nice. There's no reason that one vendor should sell every type of item, or even every type of weapon. I think cheap and expensive armors should be sold by different merchants. It would be great to see a big marketplace (nice place for a battle, too).
What kind of unique vendors could there be in the game?
- How can SG break the mould for RPG vendors? The system has always been the same- weapons dealer, armor dealer, magic dealer, innkeeper. Sometimes simplicity is nice, but it's still great to have useful variety. Backpack/luggage/wallet shop? Gems? Illegal goods? Slavers?
How realistic will the vendor system be?
- I can't think of any game where the player could loot an entire store if they had slain the merchant (a lame fix for wealthy, unprotected merchants). I read that SG will have a supply/demand system and I think that's great. Will there be banking (can you access your savings from a different bank)?
More thoughts below, to keep this open-ended.
