Description

------------

This mod started as bug fixing for Fliggerty's Improved Bartering but now, thanks to feature

creep, it has little in common with IB.

This mod allows you to barter with any NPC, invest money in traders' businesses to increase

their barter gold, order items from traders and randomizes traders' barter gold.

To order an item from a trader or a smuggler use "I'm looking for an item" dialogue option.

To pick up your order use "I'm here to pick up my order" dialogue option. The price of ordered items

will always be higher than the default price no matter what player's or trader's mercantile skill is.

To be able to order items from other mods open AB in CS and add your custom items to chests which

names begin with AB in cell "Clutter Warehouse - Everything Must Go!".

To invest money in a trader's business use "Invest in your business" dialogue option. The

amount of gold that a trader will have after investing is determined by your mercantile

skill but it will be at least 50% more. Investment cost is about 200% trader's barter gold the trader will

have after investing and it will increase 10% if you invest more than once.

To make trading with NPCs who are not traders more useful you have an option to add some money

to their inventory. The amount of money they get depends on their inventory items' value.

Skooma trade is different in AB. Merchants won't refuse to trade with you if you have skooma

or moon sugar. But if you sell it to them, they will report you to guards and refuse to trade

with you for the next few days. Khajiits, smugglers and NPCs with disposition 90 and higher will

buy skooma without any questions, but there is still a 10% chance that they will report you to

guards since risky business should be risky.

This mod has a configuration menu. To bring it up use console command "startscript

ab_config_script". The menu has following options:

"Vanilla skooma trade". When it's on skooma trade is handled like in vanilla game.

"Bartering with any NPC". When it's on you will be able to barter with NPCs using

"Barter with me" dialogue option.

"Traders' attributes buff". When it's on traders' personality and mercantile skills will be

increased and bribing an NPC will be more difficult.
