Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Unable to barter?

Yesterday I made it to the grove and met my first trader. When I click on the Barter button, nothing happens. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

EDIT: Seems to have been fixed after Hotfix #2 was downloaded.

If you were wanting to sell items ... maybe the issue is what follows (maybe) :

You need to click the little balance button so the trader stacks gold for what you wish to sell.

I think that system should be changed slightly : made simple.

For me, if i forget the click the balance button when it is in the vendor's favor (me selling stuff) the vendor gets my items without paying. Makes a little sense, but the vendor won't accept 1 gold less... is that really bartering? I have loaded a save to not "give away" items...

The 'trade' option seems to be broken too.

I used it to sell items one by one, I'd select an item, click 'trade' and the merchants gold total reduced by the appropriate amount, however my total did not increase. When I'd finished I checked my inventory and all the items I'd sold were still there. I talked to the merchant again and his gold total had restored itself to the initial value.

I did that. I balanced out my wares with the tiny scale button on top. It's clicking on the Barter button that doesn't complete the transaction.
