They let me in the mages guild library for free, so I picked up every single"free" book off the library shelf, no matter how common or valuable, then walked 10 feet over to a guy who watched me pick up those 200 books, and sold his dumb ass every last one… Profit? Yes. For me at least. Damn good thing I don’t have to worry about the in-game economy, though.
I disagree. When you sell junk to a vendor for minimal gold, there is at least a vague feeling of fun and accomplishment. When using AI, the only feeling I get is hollowness. Plus, you can raise your Speech skill for better prices, which is self improvement, you don’t have to roll up a new character to improve.
