I’d not bother manipulating merchant’s attitude with gold unless money were tighter than it is in EA, but while I have nothing against it in principle, from what people have said here attitude increases do sound too cheap to buy.
Well, you don't need to guess about that, I posted the clip showing it off clearly before, but here it is again:
On one single transaction I got a net gain of 1500+ gold barely by gifting to a merchant starting with neutral attitude a total value of 200 gold of generic trash. Magically we were buddies for life and he was willing to shower me in money. I'd say that YES, it's a bit too cheap to manipulate.
And yes, it doesn't really make much of a difference here in EA, but its impact will only grow over time in the final game if not addressed now.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
