Delaying game for extra gold Options

[Mjolnir88]

What are people's thoughts regarding delaying the game to get extra gold via the warrior and thief strongholds?

Essentially if you have either stronghold you have access to infinite gold as very few quests have deadlines.

Yes, that's about it.
Cleric, Paladin, Druid and Ranger give you nothing.

For the Thief stronghold I would limit the player from continueing to gain gold when he goes to Spellhold, i.e. have Aran tell you that you will lose your stronghold once you leave since you are not there anymore to take care of it.

For the Fighter stronghold, simply have Nalia tell you that the stronghold will be hers after you have finished business with Roenall and let her household take care of it.

For the Bard stronghold, have the gold decrease each week by a steeper amount. Vanilla, the first week after completion (max results) is 1800 which decreases with 100 each week, I believe until you hit 500 where it stays. Change that to 1800 - 1200 - 600 and then have either Higgold return to buy you out permanently or have the actors quit after a successful job).

For the Mage stronghold, unsellable potions would be a decent fix.


I think in the overall that would limit the amount of money you can get out of them.

Thanks for the verification. I'll block the exploits in v6.
