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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm irritated because a mini game about bartering has... wait for it... no bartering. Sheesh!
Money is not an issue in this game.
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.
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;
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.
How many times must I reiterate this: you... are... misssing... the... point.
