I dislike the ability to give gold to traders to improve their Attitude to toward you.
It makes no sense. Meet trader, gift him 100 gold, and bingo, he sells you that magic sword for 300 less than before. I felt this mechanic was terrible in Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 also! At least in DOS it was sometimes so expensive that it wasn't worth it if you weren't going to trade with them much. But in BG3 its automatically the optimal thing to just hand over 100 gold to each trader you meet.
If you want to influence traders you should have to do things for them (progressing the story in a way they like) or give them specific things they are looking for.
For example Dammon in the Grove says he wishes he had better tools . . . and you can find hammers, pliers, and other tools in the game . . . giving him some of these should improve his Attitude, not just a lump of gold.
