Whats the point of limiting their item stocks and gold when you can just wait 48 in game hours or go in a giant circle between towns going to different merchants to sell the rest of your stuff or buy more of the same items...

They should just have unlimited stock of all items they sell and unlimited gold for bartering

How about no. I like it.

It's ment to increase roleplaying.

Probably for roleplaying reasons. You know, they have to collect new stuff, stock it, etc..

Then they should at least have a Wal-Mart where you don't have to roleplay cause they are pro and have 99999999 Iron Ingots in stock and $999999999999999999 to barter with

I like this design choice much better than the one in Oblivion, all vendors, never ran out of gold, but few things made them have enough gold for endgame content so basicly everything you sold, you sold with a % of charity, Most vendors had 800-1200g, and when some items were worth 4000g you lost 2500g by selling it to a vendor.

I know you don't understand. Many players don't understand basic concepts. They seem to be under the impression that because this is a video game you should be able to do whatever silly crap you want, or that since it's a fantasy world there's no point in trying to be realistic with anything.

The truth is that, while a fantasy environment, they're still trying to create a plausible world, albeit one with magic and dragons. Even a fantasy world is still bound by rules for how things work, and they're generally trying to imitate our real world. So it is with carrying limits (can't carry 3.7 tons of stuff at once) and vendor stock/gold limits. In the real world a store only has X-amount of merchandise and Y-amount of funding on hand, and it works this way in The Elder Scrolls as well. Being a video game doesn't mean you have to throw all realistic concepts to the wind.

Removed this one: Double post, sorry.

Then have Sam Walton personally greet you and give you a free gift when you enter the store.
If you don't like the limits then mod it.

If our character can single handedly do a holocaust worth of assassinations on innocent townspeople... and not even spend 1 second in jail... I don't think having (seemingly) unlimited stocks at the [censored] store (LIKE REAL LIFE STORES DO) would be that much of a strecth........

Real life stores do not have unlimited stock....
really? cmon

It says -> (seemingly) <- unlimited

So if I'm trying to level smithing , they should be SEEMINGLY unlimited... like... 999 Iron ingots per vendor at a time,... not 11 ingots...

Do you see semi-trucks, airplanes, and an industrial revolution in skyrim?

seemingly unlimited is stil limited

if this was the case why have more than 1 store? one endless stocked endless buying general store for the whole game would be needed

Well, this ain't america, this is skyrim, so get over it. Probably guys like Belethor that will eventually found companies like wal-mart.

Not playing on a computer , so I can't just do that or I wouldn't even be saying any of this

I know they re-stock items but how about gold? I'm fine with it though, sounds to me like a job for the mudcrab merchant!

Limits are realistic. Realism increases immersion. Immersion increases fun.

Catering to you would reduce fun for others.

Well, the console on PC you can cheat unlimited.

im not sure ifu know this but in the era this game was set wallmart and such large corporations never existed

if u think that 300 years ago there was a wallmart then have fun trolling coz trolling wont bring u your wish!

have fun wi the limited system

We have more than 1 store in real life even though walmart sells literally everything anyone could think of........ but the other stores still make lots of money...... what?

And I guess 300 years ago we DID have dragons and magic right? Ok...

If I can buy whatever I want from a vendor and still sell enough to clear them out I'm still a happy man. Afterall, I don't need gold, I need ingredients, soul gems, enchanted items, etc.
