Purchasing from crafting merchant
« on: May 27, 2011, 12:42:26 pm »
Is it possible to make it so that when you barter with a merchant, you can purchase in large quantity? For example, when I try to purchase the enchanting oil from the crafting merchant, it is painful right-clicking and purchasing one at a time. Is it possible where we can select and enter the quantity we wish to purchase instead of single purchase?

The short answer is that there is no easy way to do this.

The easiest method would be to make the oils stackable and equip the merchants with stacks (as is done with bandages from healing merchants), but this would involve a great deal of editing on the part of the design team.

Another method (adopted by some other designers) is to replace the NWN interface with a conversation for merchants.  This would require a great deal of work as well, and might be less agreeable than the current interface to the playerbase.

People have been asking for this since 2003 on the Bioware forums - it's just not something built into the interface, sadly.

Oh, that is sad. Okay, at least it was worth a try. Thank you.
