Trade goods

P

PostNuclearWorld

First time out of the vault
I'm looking for a short list of tradable items (things that are not really useful to a player - so no weapons, ammunition, etc - probably luxurious goods would be best). I need like 8-12 items. Very important - sort them from the most to the least "appropriate" for you as a player when you play a post nuclear game.

Example:
1) Coffee
2) Comic books
3) Perfume
4) Bubble gum
 
I don't know what you really want with that... but well, here are some things i would normaly list:

1. fuel/gas tanks (if the player is unable to use it)
2. some tools (only ones the player wouldn't be able to use, but are still useful in rebuilding).
3. building materials (wood, iron and so on - if the player isn't really a MC Gyver)
4/5. seeds (if you don't have magic mixing like in F:NV)
5/5. unradiated soil/humus (if you you integrat problems for growing plants in radiated earth).
They're really close together in rank, though.

But well... looking at the sort of items you listed i would list:

1. soft drinks
2. cigaretts
3. condoms
4. Some candy that isn't any longer produced ( http://picture.yatego.com/images/4225d9b6d674a9.9/candystring.jpg *snickers*)
5. some anatomical correct things *cough cough* / Furbies / Tamagochis / volleyballs with a face painted onto them (you know all the things that make world a less lonely place for some people...)

Sorry i couldn't remain serious listing such things... well one last a bit serious one: soap.
 
duct-tape

super-glue

razor blades

anything having to do with rigging (rope, tackle)

shovel (to dig graves what else?)

.223 pistol

sham-wow
 
I meant useless things that you sell for profit to NPC traders. So no weapons, no tools, no ammunition, etc.

For example various spice would be useless to player but still pretty precious (price of these might be even higher than in middle ages).

HOW DARE YOU START A TOPIC SUCH AS THIS!
 
Was this thread started by some Bethesda guy collecting ideas for more useless rubbish in the next game? :P
 
If anyone needs to ask for ideas like this for a game (Their Job), they need to be fired for being an idiot.


Uncreative douchebags should not be allowed to work on projects some would consider art.
