Economy Overhaul and Speechcraft Improvements

Economy Overhaul and Speechcraft Improvements:

Description:

If you ever played Skyrim, you probably know how useless the Speech skill is. Personally, I finished several playthrough without spending a single perk point in the Speechraft tree.

I think the reason for that is simple: the economy in Skyrim is too easy. Money is almost never a concern for the player.

The goal of this mod is to overhaul the Speech skill by making the economy harder and the Speechcraft perks more interesting. Getting rich will be very hard without an investment in the Speechcraft skill. This mod also pushes you to find alternative way to make money (like jobs, bounties, quests) as opposed to hoard loot and dump it all on the first merchant you see.

  • []Bartering experience gains are customizable. Both versions

    You can customize how much experience you gain from buying and selling items to merchants with a multiplier configurable in the MCM.

    [*]Sell prices are very low without the right perk for the right merchant. Complete Version Only

    This mods adds five new perks related to selling prices. Without the right perk for the right merchant, selling prices receive a reduction, customizable with the MCM. You can now make it impossible to make a lot of money from bartering without investing in the Speechcraft perk tree. This feature exists to prevent the player from automatically becoming a loot hoarder. This also reflects the fact that merchants should only stock from trusted suppli
