BARTER
Barter is the exchange of goods. Trade.
In a post-nuclear world, Vault-Tec believes there will be no real
monetary system. People must resort to the ancient tradition of
barter to exchange goods for goods, or goods for services.
To access the bartering interface, click the BARTER button
from the dialogue screen. If the character wishes to barter with you,
and most will, then the barter interface will slide up and cover your
response area.
If you decide to cancel bartering, click on the TALK button.
To barter with an NPC, you must trade an equal amount of
goods (in his or her eye). Your Barter skill will modify the worth of
items in your inventory. A high Barter skill will make your loot more
valuable. A low Barter skill will mean that you have to give more to
get the same amount from an NPC.
Your inventory list is on the left-hand side. The equipment and
items that the NPC is willing to barter away is on the right-hand
side. The table in between the two inventory lists is where the bar-
tering will take place.
Take items that you are willing to give up and place them on the
left-hand side of the table. You cannot place items from your inven-
tory directly into the NPCs inventory, nor can you take items direct-
ly from his inventory and put it into yours. You must use the table.
