LudwigvanB Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I've played many playthroughs, everything I can think of, and I'm currently trying to play as a merchant, hoping that it will make better use of Speechcraft than usual. It doesn't really work, because your merchant perks, such as they are, are only designed to get you a less punishing price for stuff you collected while dungeon-delving and to be able to sell more of it, eventually. So the idea I had - BIGS - is for you to be an agent of the East Empire Company (EEC). First, you get a licence (for money plus speechcraft check), then you buy consignments from their agents (existing npcs) in Solitude and Windhelm, to sell at a profit to existing npcs (innkeepers and jarl's stewards). Your buying and selling prices would depend on your speechcraft, as well as speed of delivery for your sales. If you take too long, you might sell at a loss. It would obviously be intended for people who don't fast travel everywhere, but there would be a limit on selling to any one buyer of one consignment per week, anyway. The quest to deliver could be a modified form of Klimmek's satchel, perhaps, with an EEC crate for the item in your inventory. There could be many additional refinements, such as bandit ambushes (neutral to everyone else but you), your own caravan guards, different commodities after you've done the blood horker quest, Rise in the East (e.g. aged Breton cheese, spices, daedroth teeth - candy - for the Whiterun jarl's kids), the possibility of purchasing monopoly agency rights with retaliation by rival "players" live Maven and Erikur, etc. I can't do the mod for myself, so if anyone is interested, please let me know. I can provide more detailed design ideas. Thanks for reading. EDIT: sorry, I really meant this to go on the SSE forum, but it would be good for both.
