Merchants and book change


madmaid

Recommended Posts

It's probably already been done, and if so I would appreciate it if someone linked me to where I can get it but anyway...

 

I thought it would be a good idea to make it so that all the merchants in the game had unlimited coins (or a decent amount more) so that I don't have to town hop to all the merchants just to sell my huge collection of dragon bones.

Secondly, I thought it would be a good idea to make all of the books (including spell tomes) weight 0. I always like to collect them and the bookcases in the house in Solitude aren't enough to cater for my strange obsession.

... Strange obsession? ... Since when is collecting stuff a strange obsession? ... Taking off the boots of everyone you kill is a strange obsession. Writing your autograph on every tree you pass on your journeys is a strange obsession. Washing your hands before eating is a strange obsession. If collecting books is a strange obsession, we wouldn't have any sane librarians in the world. Not that I'm sure about wether there are any or not, but there are a lot of things that would come to mind as being weird obsessions before collecting books.

 

On the topic, though. I dissagree with the books weight. I'm not sure exactly what meassurements they are using, because it makes absolutely no sense anywhere, but a book weighing less than a slice of bread feels rather strange. And being able to carry 3000 books simultaniously is strange. 300 books is strange as well. To be honest I'd like to see the entire weight system changed to a sensible one.

 

There's got to be about a hundred requests for infinate merchant funds on these forums by now, personally I don't want that mod in my game, but it would be nice seeing such a mod being made to satisfy those without a taste for realism in their RPGs. =P

By strange obsession, I was implying that it is a little strange to collect all of the books within a game which you are to ideally complete quests, explore and kill dragons. My comment had no implications on real life collection of books. To your comment about weight of most things being wrong, you have to consider that Bethesda want the game to be enjoyable and as little tedious as possible, meaning if they made everything weigh what it should in real life, we would be unendingly be returning to our homes to drop things off when all we wish to do is play the damn game. Realism is one thing, but the game currently has a poor balance between the frequency of obtaining valuble items (rare weapons, armour and gems) and being able to sell them.

 

I completely understood that these changes were unrealistic before I made the request, so your comment has little value to what I am asking for.

 

So would somebody be able to mod these things for me? I imagine they would be simple changes within the code somewhere. Thanks.
