    Hello!

    I noticed a dialogue awkardness the first time I entered the Teamster's house and spoke to him:

    Player: "Hello, I am (Player's Name)."
    Teamster: "What can I do for you?"
    Player: "I've changed my mind." <-- This was the only choice. What does that mean? Changed their mind about what?

    If I talk to him right away again. I have the choice of asking other questions but when I do, I get again the "I've changed my mind" as only answer available.

    Shouldn't the dialogue be improved a bit there to make more sense?

    Hey Salk,

    What's the Gather Information skill of your talker? Also have you started any of Black Jay's quests? :gotmyatte

    I don't quite agree with you.

    The teamster is there to provide service. When you enter his establishment, it's assumed that you are there to do business and not just have a chat. If you, out of the blue, say that you've changed your mind, it's assumed that you don't want to do business.

    I think it would be a standard conversation if I client stepped into a shop or a hairdresser, started with a "hello", looked around, claimed that he or she has changed his/her mind and then promptly leaving.

    Maybe you guys in Sweden are just too polite when doing business :) Here the clients just grunt.

    Hi Murlynd!

    The gather information skill is 3. I guess there might be other alternatives if it's higher but nonetheless, despite what Sutemi says, I think it's strange. For Black Jay I have retrieved a ring.

    Sutemi, in Hommlet I can enter the house of many artisans, including the leather worker and the tailor. A non business related dialogue is supported there like in any other place. I guess we can just agree to disagree.
