Better Merchants Skills (BMS)

Better Merchants Skills (BMS)

OpenMW 0. 49 or newer is required!

This mod requires OpenMW's option "Trainers Choose Offered Skills by Base Value" (from the launcher).

Fight Morrowind's broken economy by dynamically altering the difficulty to barter, haggle, and persuade with merchants.

It works with any vanilla or added merchant, and it does not alter NPCs' training skills.

Settings offer ways to prevent too low or too high selling prices, configure the difficulty, and scale it on the player's level.

• []Control the prices of bartering and other services[/]

  []Control the haggling difficulty[/]

  []Control the difficulty to persuade merchants[/]

  []Ensure a minimum selling price of items, by defining a percent of their base value (5% by default)

  []Prevent the bug where any item is sold for 1 GP[/]

[]Ensure a maximum selling price of items, by defining a percent of their base value (50% by default)

• []Prevent profits when buying and selling the same item over and over when mercantile and disposition are too high[/]

[]Difficulty settings to alter the merchant new skills during bartering and other services, haggling, and persuasion

• []Preserve the merchant skill and attribute modifiers[/]

  []The bartering difficulty takes into account the merchant's wealth[/]

[]Settings to scale those difficulty settings on the player level (optional, customizable)

• []Default difficulty settings during bartering and other services: 75% to 100%, from player level 1 to 20[/]

  []Default difficulty settings for haggling: 50% to 100%, from player level 1 to 20[/]

  []Default difficulty settings during persuasion: 50% to 75%, from player level 1 to 20[/]

  []Limit the scaling to a maximum player level (useful to ease the early game, 20 by default)[/]

[]Control the disposition impact on purchase and sale prices (50% by default)[/]

[]Control the disposition impact on haggling (50% by default)

• []Easier haggling at low disposition, harder haggling at high disposition[/]

[]Scale barter disposition changes (customizable, on by default)

• []Disposition increases and decreases are scaled on the NPC's disposition, the mercantile level difference between the NPC and the player, and the amount of gold exchanged[/]

[]Highly customizable[/]

[]Settings to disable BMS on specific service windows to allow compatibility with mods that disable those windows[/]

[]Works for any vanilla or added merchant[/]

[]Safe to install or update mid-game[/]
