Hi there,
Just recently got the GOTY edition for PC, and I was playing around a little in the Construction Set. I'm trying to do a simple little plug in that adds a merchant like Creeper in Balmora (with lots of gold). I can't however seem to make her buy items at face value like creeper does and I was wondering if anybody knew the trick to that?
I was browsing around on Morrowind summit looking for a similar type merchant that I could dissect to figure it out, and couldn't find one advertised as similar (and I'm not going to download each of the hundreds of merchants!) and I happened to notice that whenever anyone uploaded a new merchant with a lot of gold there was a large negative response calling the mod unbalancing and cheating. This confuses me a little, in my mind it's just a time saving short-cut. I could see it being unbalancing if say they sold a full set of armour that made you immune to all magic and normal attacks and a sword of "I'm gonna whoop your butt" that casts fire frost poison and shock damage for 300 points each every time it strikes. But to me, your only getting the same services already available in the game, you just don't have to spend 5 minutes getting to Caldera or looking for the mud-crab and then an hour selling and then buying back to make change then rest and repeat. The net result is the same, you still get your big bucks for your hard-earned items, you just don't have to waste all your time buying and selling. Any thoughts on that?
