100%? I play BGT with Hard Times. Every single store, be it BG1 or BG2, buys stuff at like 70% and sells it at 150% or 240% (of the base price in the .itm file). Also, SCS, so Gaelan asks for 120k GP, and License for use of Arcane Magic in Athkatla is worth 50k GP. Actually this makes managing gold an interesting part of the game, since you ran out of gold sometimes (also, I didn't find the BoH in my last playthrough... Been doing great without it actually... Seems like the cheesiest thing in the whole game right now IMO).

But that just makes the economics of the setting BS in the other direction. There's that pirate in Brynnlaw who makes 300 GP a season...and honestly, he's better off than most citizens of the Sword Coast. I think a more realistic example is that guard in De'Arnise Keep who laments that he could live to 100 and not scrape 500 GP together. That's normal; for peasants, copper and silver are most of what they deal in, so to expect anyone to be running around spending 6, 7, even 8 orders of magnitude more money for their stuff beggars belief. Or, to put it another way, how do you go explaining those spellcasting bandits that escape Cowled Wizard scrutiny despite obviously being at least 5 orders of magnitude too poor to afford the magic license? And for 120,000 gold, you could probably afford your own flotilla of pirates to comb the Sword Coast until you found Brynnlaw yourself.
I always felt uneasy about all that scalping business in BG 1. How can our dear officer Vai (I know she is pretty an all, but still) know where are those scalp throphies from? Is there some kind of Flaming Fist-only creepy magics Scalp identificaton or what? Evil Charnames would go on scalping frenzy if they could!

Hm, handing her the scalps of her fellow Flaming Fist officers you find on the road...
You can't give Officer Vai the scalps of innocent people because you can't find scalps on the bodies of innocent people. Obviously innocent people don't HAVE scalps to be harvested.
Everyone should have scalp for evil Charnames. Collect all them scalps in Baldurs Gate
Flaming Fists helmets are the same thing. Except they don't stack. I tell you, I have experience on this.
My evil characters wear those with pride.
my good characters wear those with pride, it makes me so happy that the devs for some bizarre reason put 3 flaming fist soldiers instead of 1 south of beregost, now that is 3 suits of platemail instead of 1 for free ye buddy
The Giant Chess game from Harry Potter reminded me of Durlag Tower.
Difference being McGonnagal's chess set followed the rules. If they'd bum rushed Quirrell's side while he would get electrocuted if he broke the rules, then maybe he wouldn't have gotten past them.

It's a conspiracy, I'm telling you.

Some people get freaked out by spiders or some shit.
I get freaked out by people who play games with romance options but end up not romancing anyone.
