Merchants’ Reactions to Player’s Invested Money - Skyrim
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Merchants buy and sell items to the Dragonborn and can be found in almost every city and town in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Some merchants can be invested in if the Dragonborn has the Investor perk.
Investor is a perk that becomes available when the Dragonborn reaches 70 in the Speech skill. Using this perk allows the Dragonborn to invest 500 Gold in certain shops and merchants. The effect is that the shops in which the Dragonborn has invested will have 500 Gold more with which to barter. It will also count as a favor, and allow items to be taken from the business.

“Well, I won’t turn down your money.” Alvor remembered he gave the Dragonborn everything he had after Helgen and said “you’re finally gonna repay me? Sweet”
I never go his way xD so I'm just giving him money.
the game subtly telling you not to be a dixie boy.
Get ready to buy that dagger in your pocket until youre bankrupt again, Alvor.
"...everything he had..." He offered me some food, a shirt, some ingots, and some potions, and I only ever took the potions.
@GigiGiga what was that?! ... TIME TO END THIS LITTLE GAME!
"I have potions for disease, love sickness, irritating children..."
"I'm listening"

Why are my children dead?!
@@x5-x417 and how can I kill more?
For that last one, I recommend Hadacol
Lol
Potion for irritating children?!
*Slaps down a huge bag of coins*
I BUY YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
“If I had a sister I’d sell her in a second” - another one Belethor’s phrase 😂
Bothela: I have potions for disease, love sickness, *irritating children*
“Little joke.. hehe”
Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
Funny that he and Lucan Valerius have the same VA.
@@Dru_Stephan and Mercer, and Viarmo, and lots of others
All my goodness the old lady from the motar and pestle is so sweet and so wholesome
When she said your parents must be really proud of you my eyes swelled up a little bit with tears
Same ;U; she's a sweet lady.
Cap
That’s embarrassing
Frida is one of my favorite NPCs in Skyrim.
"Ah the sound of clicking coins. Even better , the sound of clicking coins in my hand."
I agree. The feeling of having money in your hand is pretty awesome.
Muhwoo ligma balls
Yeah money is pretty great isn't it
@@whatyado6106 You have weird taste man money are better :D
@@Sogmabolz solid gold coins must be even better
He must be related to Bothela 04:16. They both love the coin.
That shop keep for The Mortar and Pestle was wholesome AF!
Ikr! 😭
Thats the dialogue all old women in the game have when they like the dragonborn, and old men have another equally wholesome line of dialogue
"Good to see skyrim still has such fine people around, you give an old man hope"
"I hope your parents are proud of you. They have a lot of reason to be."
Continuing playing games is hard sometimes.
@@Duc359 Came to the comments looking for someone that appreciated that line aswell. Almost cried. Didn't even know I needed to hear that, even if it was from a NPC in a game.
@@Duc359 When I roleplay as evil characters I always make an exception to be kind towards the old people... that voice line alone is proof of why
I love these videos because there's always someone in the comments learning something new about Skyrim.
Well I guess I’m one of those people since I didn’t know this was possible in Skyrim
I've never even played. I'm trying to watch videos to interest myself before I play. So far, no luck. Maybe just not the game for me.
@@SMDTURBO If you like open world RPGs like fallout and outer worlds other elder scrolls games then you'll like it.
Yea , i learned that there is a blacksmith in riverwool
@@SMDTURBO It's a very old game and has its fair share of bugs and flaws. I wouldn't recommend it if you expect similar quality to that of Read Dead 2 or most open worlds actually.
4:28: Oengul: "I'm the finest blacksmith in all Skyrim."
Me: "Don't claim to be the best blacksmith in Skyrim, Eorlund Graymane has that honor."
The man's steel is legendary
@@justhutt272 He also said to me when I asked him something: "Are you thicc?" Nobody in Skyrim ever said such nice words to me. I'm a scrawny argonian male btw.
She said “white run” not Skyrim
The best blacksmith is actually the Dragonborn
All I ask for is a fair chance
500 septims for investment. Merchant: O.O thank you.
Spend thousands of septims on wares at same merchant.

@@motodog242 37 iron daggers enchanted with banish and paralyze.
Have fun flipping those!
Well that's not free money
@@mrmoosetachioThey could actually make some pretty coin if they distribute those to other merchants. They probably trade all the stuff players sell them with each other.
@@jonquilgemstone true. But considering how any of those I've flooded the market with across the entire region....
Pretty sure market value should have been affected by the excess supply at some point lol
I love how the shopkeepers responses range from downright disrespectful to cautiously optimistic, at best.
I love the Beirand's first thoughts are of his family ❤
he's a good man, although my thought immediately went: That's not what I wanna hear as an investor, I want you to use it to expand business.
@@sorrowdusk5068 True! After all your investing in a business not his family... but at least he's truthful about how he views things... family first business second but your money is still used further his business... sorry weird way of wording it
@@DeviousKitten27 no worries, you're all good, and yeah he's honest at least
@@sorrowdusk5068 yeah and there's another one who's honest as well!
He mentions how he doesn't promise a big return or whatever... should be the guy joking about selling his sister..
Sorry my minds fuzzy from being tired and trying to get a cute and fuzzy bat out of my house... let's just say I lost sight of it.... I have no idea where it's at... and this has been going on from 2am to 7am 😓

U flexing brah?
@@harvestingseason2725 😆 yes. Speech is easy in this game compare to real life. Especially when there are literally things that can be taken without being stolen items and resold... Plus there is the Black Market perk in a Black book. If only it is this easy in real life... Goes to show that our real world economic system is broken, unequal and utter trash.
@@LadyCoyKoi soy larp
The problem is this game doesn't have any real working economy, and unless you have the proper mods for this, food sleep and water are all worthless, and taxes don't exist unless you have the mod and other such systems that would make money a little bit more of a struggle.
Unfortunately you can only get these things from mods, because Bethesda didn't really think from this perspective for the player.
So at the end of the day, the player has a lot of money from pillaging Dungeons and selling gear, and this investing perk, isn't really investing so much as it is charity that doesn't exactly have a real return investment outside of giving that vendor slightly more cash on hand.
The economy in Skyrim needs more depth. And that can only be achieved through mods at the moment.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w aye
I honestly wish you could move the top class of the thieves guild into mercer's house. Like right after you done everything and you're guildmaster.
Facts, it's a shame the house is useless after all is done except to spawn mid level bandits for loot in town.
Beirand has his priorities straight.
I started playing Skyrim for the first time last year, yes I know I missed a lot. But seeing people who have played since the beginning learning new things is one of the best indicators of a well fleshed out game. I'm gonna play right now
I found a dungeon the other day. Not only had I never discovered it before, it had a different type of puzzle structure that I really appreciated. I also installed a mod that makes all locations already "discovered"... Sure it's cheating but after so many, many years of playing the game... I want to see all the places I missed! And there's a lot of them for sure.
@@sabrinalayton2835 ah yes I can't mod right now but when I can I'm gonna go crazy I already know it
You should see one of epicnates videos well until youve done like the main quest and some other like 10 quests or something
@@mattfromwiisports7970 oh I love EpicNate and Fudge muppet and ESO
You haven't missed a lot. I played Skyrim for 9 years and just knew that the first mission in main quest line is the siege of whiterun as a stormcloak. I dont know what happens if I sided with the Imps.
When I heard her say "I hope your parents are proud of you" for the first time, that hit me like a bullet train.
You alright?
The old woman voice actor ranges from gentle and wholesome to absolute asshole and evil lol
She had me at "disease love sickness and irritating children" I'll take entire your stock
Eorlund's steel is legendary no questions asked
"What does a common adventurer know about making money?"
Two words: Hail Sithis.
You're still working for your money, though. With investing, the money works for you.
@@DarkAdonisVyers if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day on your life. I just love killin’.
“Oh boy! Here I go killin’ again!”
"You've never worked an honest day for all that coin you have, lass"
He said adventurer, not murderer.
You require high speech skill to just give someone a few coins
I guess its the same with Morrowind except it bribery
investing lets you sell more stuff at the shops bc vendors permanently have more money
Yeah. It's too bad most people don't bother to level speech
@@Sogmabolz Speech is such an underrated skill. It's very useful in any Elder Scrolls game.
Shh. Don't tell them it's a video game.
The old lady warms my heart.
"I'm the best blacksmith in all of skyrim!"
...
"I don't claim to be the best blacksmith in all of skyrim."
All these years of playing the game and I never knew this was a thing
Speechcraft skill is honestly OP. Wanna be an independent thief and not join the guild to sell stuff, speechcraft. Need to bribe the guards in white run to kill naziem because you already used your one free crime action punching Braith or murdering heimskr after become Thane? Speechcraft. Want to threaten people into submission when speaking to them, speechcraft.
@@RaccoonRecluse Free crime action?
"I'm with the Thieves Guild"
I don't actually know if you can bribe your way out of assault by being part of the Guild, I only get caught for failing to pickpocket back the 2000+ gold I just gave to Balimund to increase my forging skill lmao
@@somerandomgamer8504 Being a thane of a hold gives you one "free crime action". I killed the Emperor and a Solitude Guard stopped me. Told him I was a Thane and he let me off.
I for sure thought this is one of the new content that was added in special edition
frida is so awsome. her complementing the player is really nice. Not many npcs do that
The fact that most people don't even know this feature exists speaks volumes to the usefulness of the speech skill
I normally put 3 perks into it to reach Merchant. Being able to buy and sell everything at every vendor is just too convenient. Plus, when NPCs spawn with spellbooks and enchanted jewelry they'll sell them to you; admittedly they primarily exist for Pickpocket gameplay.
Its really not lol. On legendary in early game gotta actually survive first
I'd honestly love if you made a part two with more merchants reactions 😊
This was honestly enjoyable to watch 😁
Seconded
The perk to do this comes on the Speech skill tree after the perk that makes all merchants 'general stores' so you can sell off heavy stuff to first merchant you come across, as long as they got the coin.
Sure, +500 gold isn’t much for trading, but the real utility of investing lies with the “Fence” perk. It’s so nice to be able to sell your stolen goods without having to trek through multiple loading screens to one of only a half-dozen merchants.
Agreed. Being forced to only talk to Tonilia, Mallus, And Galum-Ei is MADDENING.
@@zombifiedpariah7392 i just learned you can also sell stolen goods to galum-ei and mallus.
I only ever went to tonilia all these years
@@laface2361 Bruh.
I've also been playing Skyrim recently and found out there's like 2 or 3 MORE people you can fence with but I forgot who they are. 😬
You can also download a mod that adds civil war refugees and refugee camps outside of Solitude and Whiterun with a chance of spawning a "Shady Individual" that you can fence with as well. I forgot the name though...
@@zombifiedpariah7392 After you do a special job in a city, the client will also fence for you; at least, the one in Markarth did. I don't remember about the other cities...
@@somerandomgamer8504 Who's the Markarth client?
Dragonborn: **throwing money at every merchant in Skyrim** *Just buy more if my stuff!!*
By the end, when I finally learned the perk, I would already have money to buy the whole whiterun
Can you do one for how Smiths, Alchemists and Court Wizards react to your Smithing, Alchemy and Enchanting skills at different levels?
Yeah I always wanted a comp of that as well
The hags cure is definitely the best alchemist. Bothela and Muiri are genuinely really cool and interesting characters.
"I hope your parents are proud of you, they have a lot of reason to be." IM GONNA CRY.
I really like this resurgence of Skyrim videos despite the people who dislike it and clearly are vocal about it.
Who wastes their life going to a video clearly for a game they don’t like, and comment on their disdain for it? Sad people I guess.
You just described the behavior of an sjw or a feminist. They spend all day long looking for things that they get offended about and complain about it talk about buzzkill.
Honestly, the people that liked Skyrim is definitely a silent majority. It is the diehard Morrowind and Oblivion fans that constantly have a bone to pick with Skyrim, and they are honestly annoying.
Like that video that indigo gaming made a few years ago. A whole bunch of dick sucking towards Daggerfall and just lobbed all kinds of criticisms on Skyrim. He literally said that Skyrim's success is solely due to the popularity of Morrowind and Oblivion.
Another criticism is that Skyrim has bad graphics. Like fucking what? It had to come out on the 360 and PS3, and I don't remember anyone saying that the graphics were bad back in 2011, but as soon as it aged, people began to compare it to Witcher 3 (2015 game) instead of the 2011 Witcher 2 that came out in the same year as Skyrim
Edit: A lot of Morrowind fans are very elitest.
@Impaleification That's because Bethesda sucks at making RPGs, i like Skyrim exactly because it lacks so much. Many of us see it as a sandbox to build the game you want on (with mods), and i understand that's not for everyone.
When i wrote this, i meant it to the people who highly criticize it for no reason. People saying like "it didn't deserve the fame/hype" etc.
If you want a good RPG, i recommend Witcher or Dragon's Dogma.
@@bruh1340 Then you haven't seen the Daggerfall, Morrowind or even Oblivion fans.
Also just wanted to say how much I appreciate these videos. They may not seem like much, but as someone who plays a certain way every time I play Skyrim, it’s really cool to hear all the stuff I miss. What a great game. Thanks for all the effort and time you put into all these. Keep up the good work :)
I didn’t know I needed this, thanks.
Nice vid again man.Keep it up 👍
I've played skyrim for literally 500 hours and I've never heard of investing in merchants...
It's a skill in the speech tree
@@pumpkinspicegaming116 Ive played for 367 hours and still have not spent a single skill point on the speech tree lmfao
@@ZayP730
Well you're still a newbie, you have time
@@ZayP730 thems rookie hours, you will get there though.
Ah yes, the "I've played Skyrim forever and there's literally nothing here!" argument. Wait until they find out you're essentially a *_godling_* who can bend minds, slow time, turn invulnerable (and run forever/fall from any height), cause fear, disarm people, command animals, attack at a ridiculous speed, summon ancient heroes, summon 2 different dragons, blast people away by force or with tornadoes, breathe ice to freeze your enemies if not simply damage them, breathe fire, buff themself out with "Dragon Aspect", drain life, weaken your enemy's armor and lifeforce, raise the fallen, speed dash, and call down thunder *_all over the place_* only to yell "Lok vah koor!" as _yet another ability_ later and make the weather sunny and nice to boot, lmfao. The dovahkiin stomps. 💪
Nurelion is just Hondo Ohnaka chilling in Skyrim you can’t change my mind
Yeah I'd never spend those perk points, so this is the only way I'll hear these dialog choices
Even when I sometimes have taken it, it doesnt work for all merchants, sooo...
Once I get all the houses and learn every enchant, all the money I make might as well just be sitting in a corner somewhere. The speech skill is nice to level for the speech checks that pop up now and again, but the perks are pretty useless imo.
If I remember correctly, you can do this with Sofie (the flower orphan) in Windhelm too.
I've been playing this game for years and I just discovered this feature now in this vid lmao
0:53 aw Frida that sounds so nice, it sounds like she's going to use the money to help more people. I've never invested because I can always just quicksave, kill them, load quicksave over and over till I have money
1:49 says the man who's going to die soon
never knew you could do this because i didn't really level up speech on any of my playthroughs, might do it in the future...
I love mechanics like this. they are rare but fit perfectly in rpg games
The Old woman at mortar and pestle reminds me of my own grandmother, I always go there if I need potions.
Because I give all the potions I find in the wild to Sven.
I always make it a point to grind speech so I can invest in radiant raement as Endarie becomes cute (helps I have a mod that makes them both gorgeous)
I literally always invest in Alvor the first chance I get. It's the least I could do after I left the man with only the clothes on his back the first time I met him
Woah now Solaf, you almost showed some emotion there.
"I'll even buy one of your relatives if your looking to sell!" The player: "I'd like to make an investment in your business" true dragonborn
I like how the text tells me that's Belethor in whiterun, like I'm not already keenly aware of that.
Belethor's just a legend
I never understood how investing works in-game, but i always felt nice to help them
Cool stuff
this happend once i was in a winterhold inn when a child said she found something that it will be useful for me she gave me the coins so sweet aww 👍😊😊👍👍
0:53 Why did this feel sarcastic? 😂
I think that Belethor and Saul Goodman would probably get along great. Need to launder some money? Talk to Belethor. Need to handle that complaint Ysolda had about the new bedding and drapes she brought from the general store? Um...better call Saul!
They are just asking for me to use their one-liners, I couldn't help it, one might say this is where eggs are made....
I've played for almost 600 hours and I now just realise you can do this
“Need some metal hammered”
Why did I think that was supposed to be inappropriate-
One day I hope to see us be able to make town's/ cities in skyrim.
The lunar forge has so much potential
1:21 All I can hear is Hondo Ohnaka saying "I smell PROFIT!"
I never knew Frida was so nice! Brb crying over a Skyrim npc
Everyone: thank you, it is very nice to work with you
Nerelion: ooooo, money
It would’ve been cool if there was a possibility to lose your investment. Then you could persuade or intimidate them to return your coin or they could give you a radiant fetch quest for an item for them to sell to recover losses.
What would be great is if you could actually get a return on your investment. Unfortunately this perk doesn't do what it suggests. All that does is adds more pocket change for the store owner to have on hand next time you sell a bunch of crap to them.
Frida´s gona make me cry. She is just so nice
Still so much I didn’t know you could do in this game haha
i play skyrim since it came out and i didn't know you can do this
There's a fletcher in Solitude.
4:00 ~ Potions for irritating children?? I'll take your entire supply! Money is no object.
Bro I have played Skyrim for years and never knew about this
I'm so glad you had Alvor. Every playthrough I have, the maniac gets himself killed by a dragon. He dies sooner and sooner and I'm convinced my next playthrough, he'll already be dead.
Wow, look at all those people I've never talked to, and all those shops I've never been in, despite my several thousand hours ingame
Been playing since 2011, and did nt know this. I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME
I swear the last time I played all they said was "oMG thank you i'll put this to good use" or something like that.
am I the only one who didn't know you could do this? still amazes me a 10+ year game still has things to discover
Beirand is an honorable fella, a true family man.
what is more important is that Skyrim is 10 years old and people are still discovering stuff for each time they replay it, probably one of the top 10 games of the decade, Red dead redemption 2 is up there in my book too
4:41
Huh, it is so strange to see someone not grabbing the iron by the hot end and hammering the cold end.
I like how they say:"ah thanks the extra money will be of help" probably after selling me some enchanted gear for 2000 septims
Mortar and pestile is the best palce to invest for psychological support.
0:13 Belethor got 2020 vision
It's cool that there's so much unique dialogue for a mechanic nobody uses
I mis-read the title as “merchants react to players INVENTORY” and I thought that actually sounded hilarious - you’re talking to people about buying stuff and they’re like “DUDE YOU HAVE 40 MILLION soul dust? WTF is this?”
I just read "Dude you have 40 MILLION souls?"
How did you get so many ebony swords!!!
“WHY IS THERE TWO DAWNBREAKERS”
@@GregoryMom and 3 staffs of magnus
I have never seen this despite playing Skyrim for over 8 years
So the White Phial has potions that grants Instant Transmission?
1:24
@1:21 the lowest dialog option is "What *are* you arguing about?" As soon as the assistant walks away, it changes to "What *were* you arguing about?"
Huh, in fallout 3, in a specific location you can invest in a caravan (or multiple), the caravans have their "trope/main stock" from weapons, apparals, meds, and junk (trust me the junk part is far more useful than you think.)
However merchants in fallout 3 are the "I will buy and sell anything and everything" sort of merchants with a few exceptions.
I need to play Skyrim again, my nostalgia calls for it
"I'll call upon my suppliers this very evening"
*Blows mammoth horn* 🦣
Nurelion giving me 5 gold after going through that entire dungeon to get him an empty bottle made me join the dark brotherhood.
this person just helped skyrims economy, careful now they are a hero 🙏
I didn’t know about this
The first guy sound so familiar but I can't put my finger on it
1000+ hours in game, I never knew there was an Invest options
!?!?!?!??!?!
I thought this was going to be, like, stock traders and economists reacting to the investing mechanic in Skyrim.
Not the actual NPCs.
Yeah they didn't make this mechanic very well in my opinion.
I had to supplement through mods that actually made Investments worthwhile.
I'm talking about purchasing houses and shops Farms mines and depending on how much you want back on your investment you could set the rent from low to high, and depending on which one you choose makes the NPC treat you differently, if the price is too high they actually might attack you if the price is too low they will treat you very well but you'll get less in your return, however it's still passive income. So is still much more worth then this stupid perk in vanilla Skyrim.
First and probably will be the only time I've heard these lines. I've never put anything into speach, just didn't see the point when I can made or steal anything I want typically
ahhh merchants, the same everywhere.

Alright on my way down to the bookies
