Can't trade with Papa Thrash?
Maybe there's a different Scoundrel vendor, or maybe you can talk to him later, but every time I talk to Papa Thrash, there's no trade button by his portrait, and there's no dialog option beyond "Do you need an engraved invitation" etc.

Can you talk to him with a different character? (Playing online coop so not sure how it works in single player).

If you can, initiate a trade with someone else, then switch back to you rmain guy during the trade.

I've tried :

-> loading a different save prior to meeting him.
-> stealing from him, getting caught with innocent character, then talking again.
-> Using my companions to talk.
-> there is only 1 thing i haven't tried, without spoiling too much Beast hijacked the first encounter with special dialogue . I can try parking him away from the group and talking again when i get home.

Yeah, that works, as long as you've not talked to him with Beast at all yet.

Yep, once you talk to him with Beast, the Trade option is no longer available.

Taking Ifan, and having him be the first one, however, triggers the same dialogue option "You want an engraved invitation?" but does not reproduce the bug.

Doing so also means that Beast's dialogue with him no longer triggers.

Confirmed. Seems that Beast is the issue. Park him outside && talk to Papa Thrash with another character. I don't intend to go back to this save file as i've already progressed 5 extra hours. Luckily theres another Scoundrel vendor later, so I guess my Rogue will have to struggle for a little.

Is your character black? To clarify, if you are using a character with a darker skin tone, like Ifan, sometimes Papa Thrash will refuse to trade with you.

Wasn't able to reproduce that, as Ifan is one of the only others that you can talk to Papa Thrash to get in, by asking if he recognizes you.

To answer your question, though, I chose wheat, so I have no idea if that's "white" enough for him. Didn't seem to make much difference for me, though, as the trade button was literally missing.

You might want to go back to the mirror and chose some lighter skin tones. Ifan's name is really a giveaway, as his name doesn't sound anglo at all.

As long as Beast wasn't present, it all worked fine. So I'm absolutely certain skin tone had nothing to do with it.

I was joking

I have the same problem, but I do not have Beast. Talking to him with the Red Prince (after already getting past him with Ifan) triggers an unconditional fight.

After killing him, I looted a bunch of stuff, including Racht Muvora and several Scoundrel skill books. There do not seem to be any negative consequences.

Pickpocketinng requires Thievery 3.

Alternatively, if I talk to him with anyone else, he does not offer to trade, but the trade button is live and works. He sells more than you can loot from him.

If you read the original posts, they are dated 2017; you linked one that was dated 2018. May want to check dates when you use the search function.
