The entire world is ending

>the entire world is ending
>"That'll be 500gold + tip for the sword!"

Whats the problem?

You are going to save it anyway and the merchant still has his wife and her son to feed.

Is there a game that lets you tip merchants?

Any game where you haggle instead of outright purchase.
If you "tipped" in Divinity:OS you gained rep, if I remember correctly

Fucking commie fag.

>The entire world is ending
>OP is still being a jew

I mean it's a nice sword.

>Player character saves the world
>Merchant gave away all his shit because he thought he was fucked anyway
>Now has no business, wife left him, had to sell the kids, and he can't even afford a drink
>Player character still comes by to loot his house

>savior of the world
>steals from everyone and murders random people

Honestly, merchants being merchants makes a lot of sense in those games. They are in a peaceful-ass village, usually. So what if the world is ending at the village over? It ain't happening here. Most people don't give two shits about catastrophe unless it's at their doorstep.

But hey, OP is just expecting everybody to be a worldly faggot.

This.

>be merchant in small town of Portshire

>life goes on as usual

>off to fight the last boss to save the world

Lunar was the best.

ITT: A perfect Libertarian world

That depends on how shitty the game is. Sometimes they put stores right before a boss fight.
FFX did a parody of this on the ship.

I think it was FFX but there was some merchant on the airship thing that justifies by basically saying "heh, you'll win anyway. It's an investment for the future. I believe in you" right before that battle with the wyrm thing.

At least they kind of acknowledged the irony.

Fucking plebeian, you puke, piece of shit.

Pokemon X and Y

I was actually shocked that it was in that game after all of the tipping threads

but the town guards are not the Chosen One™.

>The Ancient Evil has awoken but as luck would have it so has the legendary hero who's sole task is to stop the aforementioned evil
>The hero, who has taken the form of a young boy is brought before the mighty King of this land

>The entire world is ending
>Fish for DAYS

Any game with a fishing minigame, it's guaranteed to be more interesting than actual story progress.

Welcome to Dragon Quest. Find that key and only then can you claim steal those magical artifacts

>"We gotta pay?! If we lose, you'll die too buddy!"
"I have faith in your victory"
>"Jee, thanks..."

A hero can't develop the virtues of a hero by being handed everything. The king is fuckin' nuts, though.

He meant save the world wtf?

>your pets hat outlevels you

How fun would it actually be to play a game where you're just some bumblefuck adventurer except you have all the wealth of the nation at your disposal?

Not. Riches/power produce bored people. Do you play every game with cheats on?

Or worse

>Take some items from the
>The items are fucking god awful low tier shit
No wonder evil keeps appearing when even your chosen hero is wielding dull blades and paper armor.

Came in here just to post this

>each town you visit has increasingly expensive items

>everything is going to shit
>various adventurers fancy themselves as heroes
>nations are still at odds with each other and economies still exist
>adventurers still have to buy shit
>despite this the game has a system of widespread heroic reputation and individual admiration which lets you request free gear based on your reputation
>getting free shit strains your reputation but you can repair it by going out and being a hero

>quality and price of goods increase linearly from your town of origin

>last town is a half-destroyed village in the middle of nowhere
>beggar in the streets says he has some things to sell you
>500 different legendary swords that 30 levels ago you would have had to do like three quests in a row to get even one of

>tiny ass hamlet on outskirts of society
>shop has better shit than the capital city in which you start

That's just the merchant using the market forces of capitalism to save the world user.

Holy shit you gave me the best idea
>shopping integral part of game
>can play through as Marxist who refuses to use shops
>it's actually really hard because the shops are mega crutches
I want this. But I've met jellyfish that can do more with computers than me.

>Leaving your post
Do you want looting? This is how you get looting

>oh heard ya saved the town
>everything is on the house this once
>still has to buy everything

Autism.

Anything Bernie Sanders disapproves of is an endorsement in my book.

You must be joking.

So in other words, Jews gonna Jew. People still profited from war in WWII even after the nuclear bomb was made and was said to end the world. Shit didn't stop from being sold.

>guards are irreplaceable

Nigga there are tons of guards, just send one and replace him, much better than relying on some weak faggot to save the world

>you come across with cave/room with a shitton of gold and treasure on the floor
It's part of the scenery and you can't take any.
