dialogue screen.
To barter with an NPC,
you must trade an equal
amount of goods. Your
Barter skill will modify
the worth of the items in
your inventory, since you
will be better at making
them seem more valuable. A
high Barter skill will give
your loot more value. A
low Barter skill means that
you have to give more of
your items to get the same
amount of goods from an NPC.
Your inventory list is on the left-hand side of
the screen. The equipment and items that the NPC
is willing to barter away is on the right-hand side
of the screen. The table between the two lists is
where the bartering will actually take place. At
the bottom of each side of the table is the total
value for all items that are up for trade. As you
add more items to your side, for example, the
dollar value will rise. The dollar value on the
NPC side of the table shows the total value of all
items that you want to trade for.
How to Barter
Take inventory items that you are willing to give
up, or no longer need, and place them on your side
of the table (the left.) Take the items that you
want from the NPCs inventory list and place them on
his side of the table (the right.) You cannot
place items directly into the other sides table or
inventory list. That would be a major no-no. You
must use the table.
If you move multiple items (like a bunch of ammo
or Stimpaks), then you get the move multiple item
window. Remember that you can type in the number
of items to move, in addition to using the + and -
Barter is
used with non-party-
member NPCs only.
NPCs that believe in
you enough to join
your cause, and your
party, use a slightly
different method of
trading goods. See
page 70 for more
details.
