    Elgarion,

    will it be possible next time
    - to change clothes of Conversationalists?
    - to add Shopkeeper abilities to Conversationalists respectively add conversation to a Shopkeeper?

    Example:
    Currently I can have a Shopkeeper where you can buy items.
    If I want to insert a story, I have to use a Conversationalist.

    But what, if I want to create a story with a Barkeeper, including the ability to sell items?

    Would be great, if Chris could say something about future plans :)

    We've heard it mentioned by players, but if it is planned, that would likely be a down the road thing. I've not heard any chatter that the two concepts will merge. It would certainly be neat for sure :)

    I don't know what you're talking about. There wasn't a duplicate there. Or on the main post. Or on Facebook. Or on Steam. Not sure what you're talking about... :p (fixed)

    SO did I miss the Obsidian Item of Greater Learning on sale yet? I saw the smaller one on sale yesterday. Am wondering if me going to sleep made me miss the greater version on sale during this every 2 hour sale?

    Stuff like that, and that the implementation of the NPCs that totally ignored the pattern system, break my heart. This was known from before implementation, in both cases, that we would want it. It was obvious, and discussed.

    Please, for whatever comes next, do not let them create a system that starts out hobbled just to get it in faster. It may be too late for the NPC system to be utilized to the extent players would like, but it isn't too late to not make that mistake next time.
