      The problem is this game doesn't have any real working economy, and unless you have the proper mods for this, food sleep and water are all worthless, and taxes don't exist unless you have the mod and other such systems that would make money a little bit more of a struggle.
      Unfortunately you can only get these things from mods, because Bethesda didn't really think from this perspective for the player.
      So at the end of the day, the player has a lot of money from pillaging Dungeons and selling gear, and this investing perk, isn't really investing so much as it is charity that doesn't exactly have a real return investment outside of giving that vendor slightly more cash on hand.
      The economy in Skyrim needs more depth. And that can only be achieved through mods at the moment.

      Honestly, the people that liked Skyrim is definitely a silent majority. It is the diehard Morrowind and Oblivion fans that constantly have a bone to pick with Skyrim, and they are honestly annoying.
      Like that video that indigo gaming made a few years ago. A whole bunch of dick sucking towards Daggerfall and just lobbed all kinds of criticisms on Skyrim. He literally said that Skyrim's success is solely due to the popularity of Morrowind and Oblivion.
      Another criticism is that Skyrim has bad graphics. Like fucking what? It had to come out on the 360 and PS3, and I don't remember anyone saying that the graphics were bad back in 2011, but as soon as it aged, people began to compare it to Witcher 3 (2015 game) instead of the 2011 Witcher 2 that came out in the same year as Skyrim
      Edit: A lot of Morrowind fans are very elitest.

      @Impaleification That's because Bethesda sucks at making RPGs, i like Skyrim exactly because it lacks so much. Many of us see it as a sandbox to build the game you want on (with mods), and i understand that's not for everyone.
      When i wrote this, i meant it to the people who highly criticize it for no reason. People saying like "it didn't deserve the fame/hype" etc.
      If you want a good RPG, i recommend Witcher or Dragon's Dogma.

      What would be great is if you could actually get a return on your investment. Unfortunately this perk doesn't do what it suggests. All that does is adds more pocket change for the store owner to have on hand next time you sell a bunch of crap to them.

      @5226-p1e 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah they didn't make this mechanic very well in my opinion.
      I had to supplement through mods that actually made Investments worthwhile.
      I'm talking about purchasing houses and shops Farms mines and depending on how much you want back on your investment you could set the rent from low to high, and depending on which one you choose makes the NPC treat you differently, if the price is too high they actually might attack you if the price is too low they will treat you very well but you'll get less in your return, however it's still passive income. So is still much more worth then this stupid perk in vanilla Skyrim.
