Trade Goods Bug (or maybe I'm simply dumb) - Thieves-Guild.Net

AsmodeusUltima · #1 07.14.09

This is my very first time playing SoZ, so I may be missing something, but the game and everything I have read has lead me to believe that when I click the little wagon button in my character's inventory screen I am supposed to be able to see what trade goods I am carrying. I have picked up a few from random abandoned wagons and such on the OLM so I know I have them, but when I click said button... nada. Zip. Zilch. Absolutely nothing happens except that the button looks like it is "depressing" to no effect. Right clicking does absolutely nothing. So... what am I missing here? I am still in the very early part of the game, am I not supposed to be able to access this screen yet? Is there someone I am supposed to talk to in order to enable it that I missed? (After speaking to Osi?) Or is this a bug? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

NEW! I got to play a little this morning and not only is the problem persisting, but I have found another, presumably related, aspect. I found the town of Taruin for the first time and chose to Trade. This took me to a screen I had never seen before showing the goods the town had (0 of everything), the price of each good and what I had. Hurray, I finally know what I am carrying! Unfortunately, when I try to sell anything I click the button, it depresses and... more nothing. In fact, all of the buttons for that particular trade good depress at once and simply stay that way until I press a button for a different good. I imagine that this is not a huge issue right now, as everything I have read says to not bother trading until reaching the Sword Coast, but if it persists a major part of the game will be inaccessible to me. Please, someone, help if you can!

It sounds like a bug to me, but I'm new here and only on my second play through myself. My first guess was maybe you didn't talk to everyone in samarach? that you needed to talk to before you left in order to get quests relating to "trading". But then I thought you couldn't leave the town if you hadn't. try going back to talk to everyone in that little fenced in area a few times and asking them all the dialog options. after going back to the shipwreck, recovering at least 1 ore, and 1-4 or the "investigation" options (corpse, hull, rigging. broken spear) and returning to speak to them again.... all these "trade options" should function.

sorry this reply is so long after your post, but I just arrived.....

Edit to add:
feel free to trade before the sword coast. In fact sale all the trade goods you find except for the zalantar (sp?) wood, and trade with the town in the far east for 1 salt to take with you (you will give it and several other "rare" trade goods to a guy in Neverwinter.).

Same problem here. Can't trade in towns, and now I can't even turn in trade bars in Crossroad Keep. I'm going to be majorly annoyed if I have to restart now just to get some building options.
