Aced Shops

to version 1.2

First off, there was indeed one more issue with stores that had limited item quantities. If such a store was defined, that store would not allow normal items to be purchased, assuming they had 0 quantity rather than as many as your gold would allow. It was an easy fix, but annoying.

But now a new feature has been added. And being a fan of the Elder Scrolls games (I've been a fan since ARENA came out), I have loved the mercantile system introduced in Daggerfall where you had an actual relationship score that could affect NPC reactions including that of the shopkeepers. In Oblivion, it was a mercantile score, and in Skyrim, it was replaced by a factor in your Speechcraft tree.

That being the case, a new gratuity/favoritism system has been introduced. The gratuity level is essentially a multiplier that affects the prices of your goods you wish to sell, or an inverse version for when you wish to make purchases from the store.

This gratuity score can differ from store to store, and can be increased or decreased by simple script calls, and likewise can be retrieved by such.

And for those really keen on mercantile, individual stores can have their gratuity score be influenced by goods sold to the shops for better or worse. And likewise have gratuity scores influenced by what goods a party may be willing to purchase. For flexibility and diversity, the list of goods sold and their gratuity score bonuses are separate from the list of goods bought.

And being that this is a new version that has more data in which to keep track, a fresh save isn't just warranted, it is required.
