Esteris Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hey guys, So I've bumped into, I think, the most frustrating thing in this game so far. More annoying than carrying capacity. And that is - vendoring stuff. Out of 330 capacity I have my set of carried gear of 140. And after one trip to whenever I fill up the inventory. It's but a few things, really, and yet vendoring them takes a TON of time, because I have to visit so many different vendors. I didn't know that at first and I hoarded some junk in my house. When vendoring time came and realized how does it work I was like this -> :wallbash: It's NOT FUN to spend more time running around vendors and fences than actually playing. It was okay in Oblivion - I'm fine with trying to find a vendor/invest in vendor to be able to sell him more expensive stuff. I can take the expensive things to some ass of the world where the right vendor is. I am okay with having better armor/weapon prices in armor/weapon vendor as opposed to general goods one. But I'm not okay with selling 3-4 items to each vendor and having to travel to another city (faster than waiting...) then look for another appropriate vendor and loop it. Is there any way to deal with this in some funner manner? I've actually dropped stealing entirely because of this (and somewhat because of really small choice of stealable things... I'm used to the sweet item variety one of the Oblivion mods brought). I don't even care about my small capacity, I know picking up more stuff would just make me have to run to more vendors. It just takes so much joy out of hoarding and money gathering :( TL;DR: If there's some console cheat to raise vendor's gold, I'd welcome it. I really hate cheating in games like that, but there's cheating and there's cheating. I guess there are no mods yet. I wonder though if more people are just as annoyed by this as I am? Making game funnier, not easier, I consider the fine kind of cheat that's okay to use :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYchotic666Joker Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 No console commands for consoles ( a lil hard to type lol xD ) do this, sell game, buy pc version, wait for editor to come out, create a vendor yourself, make the barter set to whatever number you want, say 999999999999 other than that...dont be a pack rat and sell junk, limit yourself, say only pickup items worth atleast 1k atleast, or ignore items you do not use say as a mage, don't pickup swords axes 2handers etc, no hard...iv not really had an issue with breaking the vendors wallets yet, sold tons ( pc version also btw ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartanian Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 You could give your self 9999999999 gold then pickpocket them and put it in them xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saldu Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 You say you were fine with investing in vendors in oblivion. That is still in. There's one awesome perk that allows you to sell any item to any vendor, it only requires 50 speech skill, and then there's the perk above that, which lets you invest in vendors. You invest perks --> more convenience, you invest other perks --> find a way to make it work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eadgster Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I use a weight:value ratio and leave/drop anything that falls below it. Utilize your companions carrying capacity. I also found that I can stash items in barrels or chests near the exit of the cave/hideout/lair and fast travel back and forth to various vendors once I've cleared. The traveling vendors outside major cities will buy everything and carry a reasonable amount of money. I haven't made it past whiterun yet, but I can't imagine it gets much worse. The more i craft and vendor potions, the more i realize that trash loot is not that valuable. Now I pretty much just pick up items to decorate my house with. My Feng Shui skill is at like 85...

Do items that you *put* in your house, mind I say putting, not stashing in furniture, actually get saved? Or does it disappear after x gamedays?

Esteris Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) @ Psychotic I have a PC version :P I just believe that the cheat commands are actually called console commands. But I *am* a packrat. It's half the fun from the game to gather stuff, get money, but whatever I want, furnish all the houses. It's way more fun than killing dragons. Picking up only important and useful items is not fun at all. And it would take AGES to buy anything with that money. Especially since I don't really like dungeon crawls (city quests are much more interesting, I believe). @ Dartanian Does that really work or are you joking? :P @ Saldu I am not wasting perks to invest in speechcraft D:< C'mon! There's only 50 available and to spend any in that skill is an outrage :P I'm already tight on them when it comes to seriously useful things :( In Oblivion being good at speechcraft and investing in things didn't stand in the way of my being good in magic/weapons. I believe it was like that before the mods came as well (I played with lvling altering mod that had skills raise the attributes and attributes raise the level... sweet thing. Before that I ended up at level 22 facing impossible to kill zombies because my highest skills that got me the levels were sneak, lockpick, acrobatics and speechcraft. Go figure). @ Eadgster Companions keep messing up with my stealth, unfortunately, and they keep dying from my arrows when they pull the entire room and try to shoot anything with them running around like ADD kids. The entire point is though I don't want to spend so much time travelling back and forth to thousands of vendors to sell my junk :< And as far as decorating the house goes - I strongly recommend the power cores from big dwarven golums >:D EDIT: @ Saldu I'm 95% sure they stay there permanently. That's how it's always been. If it's not, then I'm gonna nerd quit the game until mods come and fix it :psyduck: Edited November 17, 2011 by Esteris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
940220 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Deal with it or mod it. Personally I like that, gives me a reason to go out exploring. Also if you mod it the Speech skill will be kinda useless since the master perk is giving every vendor a 1000 extra gold to barter with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoolyFooly Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Having to visit different shops to sell your goods isn't "wasting time", it's part of playing an RPG game. Edited November 17, 2011 by FoolyFooly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblouin86 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I agree with using a value/weight ratio when picking up items. If it's less than 10/1, I leave it. I used that ratio in Oblivion too. I've found I can easily sell everything I have in just one town. Whiterun has the Drunken Huntsman, Potion Store, General Store and two Blacksmiths. Since most of what you pick up is armour and weapons, start with blacksmiths and work your way down to the General Store. The only thing I have trouble unloading is jewellery since it tends to be worth so much and not that many vendors take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
