GrayBlondie: I certainly should've asked your gaming pedigree before engaging in conversation. There's always some suspension of reality in games, and a reminder of that isn't an insult. No need to puff yourself up.
avatar
Hickory: Are you for real? You repeatedly accuse me of attacking you, patronise me regarding game play/role playing, and you certainly like to judge people you know nothing about. You now accuse me of "puffing myself up". Astonishing. Must be that American thing.

No, I never said there was a take it or leave it option. Feel free to try to find that.
avatar
Hickory: I don't need to look very far: "but you're not locked in at that point."
You are locked into the dialog UNTIL you offer a price that the person agrees to. To say you are not locked in is to say you have a leave option. It does not exist.

Every time I've said you can leave after the conclusion of bartering. And you've said you just want that option moved up to the bartering screen as a take it or leave it option. Great.

What I don't get is why you're so adamant about this sytem being broken.
avatar
Hickory: Because it IS broken. There is NO bartering. I've said it over and over... end of tale.

It's made to be an extremely simple way to get a few extra coins out of a contract. You're not giving bad ideas. I just think you're irritated over something that doesn't even have to be there.
avatar
Hickory: I'm irritated because a mini game about bartering has... wait for it... no bartering. Sheesh!

Money is not an issue in this game.
avatar
Hickory: Not the point.

The reason I posted in the first place was because your OP stated the count was not offering enough money. I just wanted to point out you don't have to take the contract. That's all.
avatar
Hickory: Missing the point entirely. Give it up.

I also have continually said it's not an elegant system. There's no need to be contrary at every point;
avatar
Hickory: Says the person contradicting my every word, and throwing accusations to boot.

I'm not saying that you're wrong or that imrovements can't be made. You can post ideas to improve the actual system all you'd like, and that's awesome, but your original complaint has a solution. Don't work for what you consider insufficient money. That's what I was addressing, and that's all I was addressing.
avatar
Hickory: How many times must I reiterate this: you... are... misssing... the... point.
Most people do not like to be told they're bad at something, so I labeled that as an "attack." Sorry if that offended you, it was unecessary.

You've taken me out of context, or maybe you misunderstood. You quoted me as saying "but you're not locked in at that point" where "that point" is referring to the conlusion of bartering. As in, after you're finished. In the context on my post "locked in" refers to accepting the contract. Which is consistent with everything I've said.

You're conveniently ignoring the parts where I'm saying you have good ideas. I'm not contrary to everything you're saying, unlike you. You're just trying to beat me into the ground at this point, which is totally couterproductive. I addressed your first point, and that's all. You can continue to get into other nuances of a completely superfluous, simple system, but that's not what I posted for.

No, they don't. Maybe you'll remember that in future. And it takes much more than that to offend me, of that you can be sure. Taking exception to something does not necessarily imply offense has been taken, at least not in the way you appear to mean.

In the context of what you said, and continue to say, being 'locked in' means only one thing: there is no 'take it or leave it' option, which is essential for bartering -- it's not a one-way thing.

There you go with your accusations again. You know what? I'm done with you.

Talking about locked in, once you are on the betting panel for gwent matches you can't opt out. You can only forfeit the match.

That's bothersome some times when I misclick the dialogue option.

I don't know if you realize you were the one saying I was bad at something, but I'll take that as apology...accepted? Since you're "done with me" I suppose it doesn't matter either way.

It is too bad I'm literally telling you I understand your point and you're still trying to argue with me.

Lastly, you don't get to impose your own context on what I wrote. If it was ambiguous then maybe I needed to be clearer, but "locked in" refers to taking the contract and that is all it refers to. I thought within that post it was clear enough.

That's a fair point. I think with the NPC's that don't bet you have to specify twice that you want to play. I guess if they implented that with all NPC's it would fix that. I've never noticed because I always want to play Gwent haha

Can you ever bet more than 10 coins for a round of Gwent? I wish the maximum bet was at least 100 coins, otherwise it's a very low reward for a game that lasts for at least five minutes. In that time you could complete half of a contract quest for at least 300 coins.

Not with regular NPC's to my knowledge.


*Very Slight Spoiler*

In your quest to find Whoreson if you explore his casino there are a few games you can get in that allow bets of 100 orens. I might be wrong but at the completion of said quest I don't think you can go back to the casino.
