Hello, fellow gamer! :>
>>388116441
There is never a point in rpgs where you should be worried about money at all because of how easy it is to get in them.
The best thing was how they charged you in Heaven bastion during the ACT IV of Diablo 2.
Fucking angels, I am doing their dirty job and they cant give me potions or fix my gear for free.

>shop gives everything for free to HEROES OF LIGHT
>HEROES OF LIGHT slay the ANCIENT EVIL
>shopkeeper goes bankrupt because he was barely managing with his small profit margin
>hangs himself and his wife and daughter have to live out on the street because their house is used as a payment for the last batch of goodies the HEROES OF LIGHT took without paying
Yay for HAPPY ENDING!
>I have faith in your victory
>>388116441
>i don't claim to be the best blacksmith
>we have the finest weapons and armor
>>388116441
>Endgame Inn charges ridiculous prices.
>Just teleport back to first town where they still charge 5 gold a night.
>NOT ENOUGH CASH STRANGER...
>Thank you for saving me! Swing by my shop later!
>You get nothing for free, just a small discount.
>guy claims to be a hero of unparalleled strength
>has no money when the least hostile of the local fauna carries enough gold to grant you a lifetime at the inn, breakfast included
>there's a literal thief in his party, doesn't even try to hide it
I'd be suspicious too desu

Final fantasy 1 will always be good and deserves better.

He's just the distributor of the best blacksmith

>oh you defeated the ultimate demi-evil and saved our world ten times over?
>go fucking fetch me 10 boar butts then muck out my stables

the alternative: everyone fucking dies
the alternative alternative: the shop becomes incredibly famous

I mean, I can't think of any RPGs where stores can actually go out of business if they fail to meet sales quotas, so there's actually no threat at all. Not that a party would need the entire store's inventory, duh.
>>388116441
>glitches out the shopkeeper into giving stuff for free

What a hilarious observation! Better make a webcomic out of it! You'll be the first one!
>>388117151
i'm usually a poorfag in witcher 1 because of buying all those books ( yeah i know you can ask babushkas about monsters, can't be arsed with that)
but then again that game has like three non-book items worth buying so it doesn't really matter
>>388116441
Name 3 games where the hero is famous when going into the final battle and has to pay for items
>>388120230
define famous
>>388120230
all of them :^)
>>388120332
The shopkeeper would know that they're going to save the world
Why should a shopkeeper give the hero free stuff when the hero just looted all the chests in his house?
>>388120590
this aroused my pumpkin seeds
>>388120230
Morrowind
Oblivion
Dragon Age
>>388120912
>American games
Eh
>>388120590
Even better question
Like in games like skyrim or witcher 3, why do guards not do anything if you are randomly going into camp, people's homes, and other shit.
>>388121379
Ever heard of hospitality, you burger?
>>388117736
Man, I want this now
Gonna make an rpg in FES now about a merchant who is always following the hero around to get him to pay his tab, but always just missing him
>>388121379
It's not a crime unless they have visual of you stealing said stuff.
It's why I love Divinity. Teleport triangles rule for stealing shit.
