kingkongfive Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi all, One thing that has always annoyed me about Skyrim are the game's laughably low fees. By "fees" I don't mean item prices (those can be too easy as well, but there's already plenty of mods for that). Rather, I mean any exchange of money outside of the standard bartering system (usually they take place within the dialogue menu itself). As someone who plays a thief/assassin character, the most prevalent example of this is the game's bounties. I love choices and consequences in games, but when the "consequence" I face for assaulting someone in broad daylight is a measly 40G, it feels less like a meaningful choice and more like a nuisance. Another example: since I disabled fast traveling I've gotten used to taking carriages whenever possible. But again, that's not really a meaningful choice for me because the price is always either 20 or 50G. If the prices instead were, say, 300 and 600G, it would force me to reconsider the carriage, and I would end up trekking it much more often. Same goes for bribes. Why bother investing in the speech skill when you can always bribe someone for 100-200G? If bribes were instead somewhere in the 1000-2000G region, that would really change things... There are other "fees" that I think could and should be raised (horse prices, these guys...) but I won't bore y'all with excel spreadsheets... yet. If anyone is interested in doing this for me, I could provide you with the values that I think all these fees should be (though of course as the actual mod creator you'd have the final say). I think this mod would add a lot of depth to the game in very simple ways. I would be extremely grateful if one of you is able to make this come true for me, since I know literally nothing about modding. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
