    I'm not sure why a strict separation exists between vendors and conversationalists since it doesn't with NPC characters, but there are many conversationalists that I'd like to use as vendors, because I want to make a POT that's built around quests and roleplaying.

    For example,
    [​IMG]
    This guy would be an assistant who sells the goods, while the boss character talks to players.

    [​IMG]
    This guard would sell requisitions.

    [​IMG]
    This guy could be the tavernkeep.

    It would also help break up the monotony of the same vendor appearance everywhere, especially for towns that have a theme and aren't going to say mix Brittany with Norgard or Shogun or or have the flashy modern style vendors

    Conversationalist use Inky for the dialogue, Our NPCs are using tech that Lum The Mad made. They are incompatible with each other. New tech would have to be put in place to allow Inky (Conversationalist) NPCs to provide items to players, or function as player vendors.

    With that said, this would be a great thing to add, will consider it for inclusion in the long term plan.
