I saw a MWSE mod floating around the internet that made the amount of gold any merchant had to offer vary from day to day, instead of a fixed amount restocked every time. Varying from nearly no gold at all up to more than double their standard amount.

Since not implemented in vanilla, this is definitely a post-1.0 feature. nevertheless, this would add additional realism to the gameplay and would probably not take too much changes in coding I imagine? I'm not familiar with C++ though, so I might be mistaken.
I'd also think this would be much more stable to get this result from the engine itself compared to doing this with 3rd party scripts...
Any thoughts?
Variable amount of gold to barter for merchants
Re: Variable amount of gold to barter for merchants
I do not know the current situation, but I guess it should not be too difficult to change the gold amount from fixed to a more general function of the current hour.

Re: Variable amount of gold to barter for merchants
I think it would be a really awesome and immersive change if they progressively got more gold if you consistently sold them things at a really good deal. So for less money you could have a merchant that would be able to buy more of your stuff at once.

I mean it would cause less issues if this was done through the engine itself rather than running a MWSE-script each time the PC enters a cell...ezze wrote:Sorry, what do you mean?Zobator wrote:I'd also think this would be much more stable to get this result from the engine itself compared to doing this with 3rd party scripts...
Re: Variable amount of gold to barter for merchants
So... Would this be worthy of adding to the roadmap tracker?
Re: Variable amount of gold to barter for merchants
Why not just give it a try? Sign up at our bug tracker and file an issue "De-hardcode barter gold amount property to be more flexible" (or something like that), make it a feature - and don't forget to set the "Target version" to openmw-future. If the developers don't like it they will eventually tell you (by rejecting the issue).
