Not scripted, no. My little excursion to the island went perfectly, nobody ever knew i was there. Except me, obviously, and the person who paid me to be there.

I know they said i could kill the guards if i wanted to, but that would have made the mission nothing more than another dungeon crawl or generic go here-KILL-collect macguffin quest so i did it all sneaky sneaky to make it interesting.

The thing with vendors having limited funds is the same as Morrowind. The easiest way to work around it (or at least it worked in Morrowind, not tried it in Skyrim yet) is to sell as much as you can, then wait a day (press T once out of the vendor UI), and repeat.

Thing is, in Morrowind most traders had like 2k gold, max, same as SKyrim. But there were a couple who had 50k+ (or whatever). Whereas Skyrim seems not to have that. That sell-wait-sell-wait-sell-wait-buy-sell method becomes a bit impractical when you have 10 million gold's worth of stuff to sell and the trader has 1k of gold.

Having said that, there's fuck all worth paying for in this game so it's not worth it anyway. You can buy a house in every town just from the gold you get directly from chests/quests. Unlike in Morrowind where getting a full set of gear enchanted would cost a few million.

You say that, but I had to buy a new bow yesterday after going up against a Draugr (or whatever they're called) that shouted at me and made me drop my bow. I couldn't find it after the fight, and I tend not to use enchanted bows for everyday fighting, so I had to buy a glass bow from an NPC.

That's what I mean. weapons and armour are not going to cost you more than 20k or so which is pocket change after a few quests/dungeons. Whereas in Morrowind it was more like 2 million.

Well, I won't be making one. It stretched my modding limits just making SuperScamp for Morrowind.

Um, creeper had 5k and Mudcrab 10k, which was the max as far as I was aware?

Yeah I was going by vague recollection, hence the (or whatever).

My point being that even at level 12ish in Morrowind I was getting a lot of stuff that I couldn't even sell to creeper without doing the buy a load of expensive stuff at the same time as selling thing.

 

To be honest, I think this aspect of the selling in skyrim is fine. Given that there are different types of merchants that will buy different things, and you can just fast travel between cities to sell more stuff, I've only had a couple of times where someone's run out of money.

That's what I said.

That's what I said. Though not because I travel around I have far too much stuff for that (and I don't even pick much up, just gems/scrolls/potions, the light and valuable stuff). Just because, as I say, there's very little to spend money on.

Like I say, I kinda have enough money for anything I want buuuuttt. My chest does lag when I use it, so it'd be nice to tidy it out. Thanks.

Okay, I thought you said the other thing.

I may have said that too. I am unclear in my sayings. You enjoying Skyrim?

Pretty yes. Though I lost lydia.

I might have to make a pilgrimage back to the place of Lydia's death and take a screenshot. I'll probably put some armour back on her first, in case it looks pervy.
