Don't remember but why can't i buy most things?

[Metr0]

It's a bit odd but things from titles to armor to weapons i can't buy in the game i could have like 500 gold and the item only cost 250 but it's red and not obtainable always saying i am short of gold even though my gold counter is double what it costs i am confused and don't remember this being a issue on xbox

It's possible that you're misunderstanding where to look. http://i.imgur.com/pIJEPhv.jpg

On the bottom left is your own gold amount.

Wait, what?

No, no, the prices are shown just like the old version's ones:
* The first price is the actual price
* The price in parenthesis is the base price for the item.
* The colour (red/green) reflects the fact that the price is better or worse than the base price.

Basically, the merchant system (at least in the old version) intended for the player to find what merchants had the best price for each item, and it was even possible to make very decent money from buying low and selling high, when you understood where and what to buy/sell.

I don't know how it was on the xbox version, but the Lost Chapter version on PC has exactly the same thing (I played it a bit today to be sure I would not talk from memory when comparing).

I'm talking about the reason why i can't buy something that costs 60 gold with 550 gold on me

If the item text is darker, it's because you already have the item.
I.E. You can't buy 5 of the same type of helmet or weapon

Was thinking this myself. You can only have 1 copy of any piece of armor, clothing, or weapon. And I think the titles have renown requirements, and/or alignment requirements, although I don't remember exactly.
