Bug: Bartering may compare to equipment of wrong character

To reproduce:

1. Open Bartering screen using, say Scarlett, with any character that has some equipment (e.g. quartermaster)
2. Hover over equipment of the other character. Notice that it compares with Scarlett's equipped items.
3. Now change to Roderick within the same bartering screen.
4. Now hover over equipment again. Notice that it still compares to Scarlett's equipment. This is wrong.

Yeah, I encountered this as well. Comparison of equipped equipment in stores is clunky. It only compares stuff to the person who started the conversation although you might buy something for other party members...

It seems that the character actually bartering does not change, you always use the character that engaged the conversation, be it for the Bartering skill or the item comparison.

Don't know if it is intended though ...

If this is the case then it makes no sense that the current barting is cancelled if you switch character. Wrong a few items into the pool and switch character and you will see this error message.

This needs to be fixed! It's a real pain to have to quit out of the bartering screen every time you want to compare equipment for a different character.

I noticed it too, I think it's a good idea to be able to switch inventories when bartering but since they already did this, it makes more sense to compare items based on who's inventory is being shown. I hope this is a bug and they fix it soon.
