I... did not realize that was a bug. Thought it was kind of a nice little reward for a DLC played at basically the end of the game.

 

I haz a sad now. :(

No! How will I buy the rest of the BE schematics now? :(

It won't help as much without all the gold, but this could still allow you to have an easier time getting schematics so you can spend gold on other things =]

I guess elves really *do* excell at poverty. My human mage is swimming in materials and over half a million gold after doing Descent. My elf who didn't has 574 gold.

I wish we had cheats so people wouldn't care about exploits being patched.

Good to know it wasn't a console only exploit. Got a lot of selling to do for awhile :)

I can't believe I wasted my time putting crap on the Skyhold chest to sell later.

I'm glad they fixed this issue.

I know people complain about gathering enough resources, but completely destroying the game's economy isn't really a solution to anything (at that point, they may as well remove gold from the game).

What economy?

I figured that was a bug. It's fortunate that I had already made all the gold I need with one character, now I can buy all the schematics and share them using the golden nug.

The new patch "fixes" the vendor in the Descent and it no longer pays more for items than other vendors.

I didn't know that. I was more impressed by how much coin I could receive from dead Sha-Brytol. If I was that desperate for coin I'd farm snoufleur skins and tier 3 metals.

Fortunately, I have one Inquisitor who made nearly 1 million gold, so I'll just use a suggestion from another thread (by BansheeOwnage, I think) and have her buy all the schematics and upload on the golden nug. Then all my other Inkys can enjoy the schematics too.  ^_^

Oh I know, but this is my endgame main that just never got around to purchasing them all. I need to purchase them once before I can use the Nug.

I guess I'll just disconnect the cable before I start playing, sell a bunch of those useless old uniques I've been hoarding in my storage chest, and then buy everything I can before I patch.

No doubt BioWare thought long and hard about how to get back at you after you got the Superb HoK ring. :)

 

Well done, by the way, I was on holiday when it happened, so belated congratulations.

 

P.S. Are they like buses, where you wait hours for one and then three come along at the same time?

Nope. Still only have the one so far. Still waiting on that waterfall HeroicMass swore would happen once I got my first. LOL

What economy?

The gold available in the game and the things on which it can be spent.

The economy is what determines both the value of the goods being sold and the gold itself. This is why a system of currency exists in these sorts of games (in most games, in fact).

Simply allowing everyone an unlimited supply of gold destroys that economy (gold becomes meaningless; BioWare would be better served just putting all the items you can buy into the storage chest and letting you pick what you wanted at that point).

If you want to cheat, you can still duplicate items in the storage chest and then sell those.

There is an unlimited supply of gold though. Wartable missions

Gold is limited not just by quantity but by availability.

The most gold you can get from a single war table mission is ~250 (and it requires Leliana and a very lucky roll), and it can take 45 minutes or more. It will require substantial investment to acquire enough gold to readily purchase the rarest equipment (which is the point of the currency system in the game—you have to earn the gold if you really want to buy expensive stuff).

You can also farm unlimited crafting materials, but this too requires significant investment.

That's why the rarest equipment (and thus the gold used to purchase it) has value: it's really hard to get. If you just make it freely available, it devalues not only those items but also everything else in the game that was given without requiring gold.

As I noted before, I wouldn't be opposed to BioWare adding cheat codes that let you give yourself gold or even just spawn the items you wanted. But fixing that merchant was necessary for all the players who don't want to cheat (and for BioWare, who has a clear idea in mind of what they want the gameplay experience to be).

I see. Thanks for explaining!

 

I made a lot of use of the add gold commands in DA:O, DA2 and Skyrim.

Ahhh... I see. Everything is back to normal. My Inquisitor has to earn his money in the old-fashioned way: by thieving, murdering, whoring.

Just think of all the money we'll save on schematics! I don't foresee ever having a cash shortage again, now that expense is eliminated.

Or those players can just not sell their stuff at that merchant.

Those devs don't want anyone to have fun. At least I got 400k out of it.
