I have never gave the money to the beggar, propose food yes but won't help developing pathology. Beside that, merchants aren't poor and they always go to tempt people to get them buying stuff - not inversely. They can cheat with prices but never saw one who would give me a discount if I gave them more money. It is simply not working like that. We pay for something not for the air.
Not every quest should be obvious like that, we are not witchers lol. Also BG3 lacks of gwent.
Some items are special to some people. If this hammer has this value to the smith then no problem, i would find his hammer and even wrap it with a bow to get more disapproval from jealous Laezel.
I never saw a whale ... that dont mean they dont exist.
As i said, its called investment ... and yes, it is acutaly working like this.
You give to vendor some money, that he can use however he want ... and he gives you some discount.
In world where you are the only one who actualy work with this vendor, in the end its more profitable for you than the vendor, but that is the point ... you need to be tempted to invest ... in the actual world, where vendor is working with countless other people who is trading stuff with him, its huge profit fot him, since he is able to expand his offerings, and sell them without a discount ... so both are profiting here.
Also i see that no one answered me where is difference between gold and stuff of the same amount of gold.
