Has there ever been a game with a merchant RPG character that is fun to roleplay as?

>>718274987 (OP)
Yeah, it’s called real life. Go get a job at Walmart and speedrun the “merchant RPG” experience. You’ll get dialogue options like “Do you want a receipt?” and “Sorry, manager’s not here right now,” plus a riveting barter system where you sell your soul for $8.25 an hour.

thats not being a merchant retard its being the merchant’s slave. the real merchant is the guy that made walmart.
merchants are businessmen they used to travel with their caravans trading swords for jewels with the phoenicians and sheeit and then bring those jools back to sell for many gold. ur walmart wagecuck job is literally just slavery

you really out here pretending some dude schlepping swords across the desert > punching a barcode at walmart. caravans got ambushed, got dysentery, got robbed by bandits, and you think that’s “real merchant gameplay”? meanwhile walmart guy might get chewed out by a manager and still go home with money in his pocket. stop jerking off to bronze age fantasy and cope.

i never said the gameplay is better i said he is the real merchant because he is selling his own goods (that he bought from somewhere else) for other goods or money that he exchanges for other goods.

u arent really selling any items at walmart because they dont belong to you, you are simply an interface through which a transaction happens, an assistant. while the merchant sits in his billion dollar mansion drinking tea, he has automated the process of being a merchant

lmao ok retard, congrats on inventing semantics. calling walmart cashiers “slaves” and “not real merchants” doesn’t make your bronze-age fantasy any more relevant. dude running a billion-dollar empire still gets eaten alive by regulations, taxes, and competition while you’re jerking off over “owning goods” like it’s a philosophical breakthrough. keep pretending being a glorified middleman in the desert > modern capitalism, you’re peak autistic.

I miss the days before Walmart ran every mom&pop store out of business and we all had to become their serfs because it's the only jobs left.

Well not an RPG, but you are a merchant trading and travelling in a fantasy world.

>>718276398
This one is an RPG and you are a merchant with a caravan but its not a medieval fantasy world. Thats all I know.

>>718276256
i never said its better i just said you’re not a merchant for working at walmart, and i said the merchants are:
1. the guy that traded swords for jools (in the old days)
2. the owner of walmart (in modern days)


also the dude running a billion dollar empire only gets “eaten alive” because hes a greedy autistic fuck. he could retire many years ago and chill in his mansion with passive income that would be paying him millions annually but instead he chose to continue to go through the stress of being a businessman because if he stops doing it he loses all purpose in life and starts rotting

>>718276060
Anon, there is one. There's a DS game and it was translated to English sorta recently.

>because if he stops doing it he loses all purpose in life and starts rotting
Introduce him to 4chan, that'll keep him entertained in retirement.

I liked Octopath Traveler's Tressa because she had a motherfucking MONEY CANNON and I loved spamming it because I made a fuckton of money from playing her all the time

Bannerlord has some mods that make merchant builds fun and playable.

>>718274987 (OP)
Make a MMO where all classes you can play as are -Trade- classes.

Merchants are jack-of-all trades and can manage the auction houses and buy and sell at credit.

Blacksmiths are heavy weapons users that can craft weapons in-game.

Herbalists have druidic powers and can create potions.

Hunters are the bow/xbow class and can process monsters for ingredients.

Enchanters are the in-game designated wizards and can enchant items and create runes.

And so on.
