Leaving the island, keep the traders alive?

[Damianus]

Sooo... I am about ready to leave the island and ofcourse alot of gold is very good to have, should I start killing some traders to get all their stuff and sell it abroad or will this negatively affect me?
I would usually just see what something results in but this spooks me a bit :p

Same question man. Found something out?

I murdered most of them and so far it has had no impact in the next part whatsoever ;) try to pickpocket them before killing! it gets you more in the end

Thanks my man! Will save just before my killing spree, just in case.

If I leave them alive will I be able to come back to trade/kill them at a later point?

You get a message before leaving the island, that you will not be able to come back to it.


But i feel like this is extreme exploiting, as you will get so rich if you sell all the stuff in the next zone.

you will definitely not become rich from this, it will give you a bit of a boost, a bit. I have a character in my playthrough with good sneaking and thievery so I always pickpocket traders and sell their stuff to another trader.

I killed every merchant on the beginning island after having completed nearly everything. So you would assume I am swimming in gold right? I currently walk around with 60k and buying 3/4 pieces of equipment suitable to my level will cost me all of that. The economy is not so very forgiving haha.
I wonder what it'll be like on honor mode, gonna start that tomorrow o.0

Yea you are right. I killed most traders and some other NPCs too (from which i'm sure should not appear again later on).

I got some good equipment pieces (especially from the now really dead undead trader).

I was in two minds about killing him but I wanted the XP and I wanted his STUFF!!! I killed him and every damn Magister on the Island. I did leave the NPC's that were 'nice' to me alone though....Oh the Guilt I'd have felt...........

Playing as Sebille, meet Kalias, the lizard in the cave. Gonna RP this ♥♥♥♥, so he's dead now.

Later, can't figure out why nobody in FJ sells Warfare books.

Didn't even rob him blind first.

its not exploit, because wiping cities was common thing in DOS1
