Vendor changes

[ReDragon1976]

I would love to see a mod which limits what all the vanilla vendors both buy and sell.

 

I've thought of this for a while, but am still only at the house mod making stage.

 

For example ; Medics only buy medical supplies and drugs and only sell those type of items. Bar staff only uy and sell drinks and food and maybe cigarettes. General merchants do have a variety but not all of them should be able to sell missile launchers or want to buy them for that matter. Gun merchants should be interested in buy weapons only.

 

A couple of examples I've thought of are

 

Chet in GS

 

Weapons - Buy and sell only pistols, and then only projectile, no energy or plasma. They very basic melee weapons.

 

Armour - Buy and sell only clothing and maybe light leather / raider / tribal type armours.

 

Aid - Buy and sell only Stimpaks, dry food, water, natural ingredients

 

Miscellaneous - All really, he is more of a general trader than anything IMO.

 

Ammo - Only very small amounts of projectile ammo, both for rifles and pistols, After all IMO bullets would be one of the major trade items in a post apocalyptic setting.

 

My thoughts behind Chet are that his is more of a general merchant than a weapons dealer, he wouldn't have access to a large chain of supply / demand for large weapons / armour. There is a doctor in town who is more likely to both want and be able to procure medical supplies and his shop is next to a saloon where both food and drink is readily available. To a certain degree in the intrests of community, harmony and prosperity for the town, Chet wouldn't be willing or able to service the supply or demand for the items that Doc mitchell or whatshername in the the Saloon would.

 

Another example

 

The Servatron at gun runners

 

Should only be interested in buying and selling guns, not melee weapons as well as all types of ammo. I shouldn't be able to load myself up with a couple of thousand units of misc junk and trudge slowly there from the strip to trade in burned books and bent tin cans for as much ammo or a shiny new great condition weapon as I can get for the prices of misc junk that the company just wouldn't be interested in.

 

Just some of my thoughts on the matter. Would be happy to help any way I could with a mod for this, I have put a fair bit of thought into it, but have no clue how to go about implementing something like this.
