Or in any other type of container. They bug out. One day they just decide to not stack with other gold. Or not be counted, nor retrieved on the barter balance button, it says you have no money despite there being a nice stack of thousands of gold. It is possible to manually drag the gold to the barter inventory, though.
From what I can read on reddit, this is a known issue. Common fixes are stuff like dropping the money on the ground and pick it up again. Or splitting the stack to get the money out of that corrupted stack. I cant confirm any of those because I went for the fix of spending every ounce of gold, but havent had chance to check with a trader yet if my new stack of gold is uncorrupted.
It works just fine for me. It just doesn’t stick gold you pick up automatically into the bag, and you can’t open the bag in the barter screen. Switch to the “trade” screen, and it doesn’t matter if things are in bags; it will show everything you have in your inventory, even the alchemy and supply stuff which automatically goes into their own bags. Plus you can only sell everything marked as wares instantly from the trade screen. Unless you’re trading items for items instead of straight up buying and selling with gold, the Barter screen is worthless.
At first it works like that. Up until the stack of gold corrupts.
I’ve had excess of 50k gold when I finished the game and the only problem I had with it was the weight. Can your bag fit more weight? Bags can only hold so much weight and gold has weight. Or maybe it’s only an issue with M&KB interface? I played through using a controller the whole time. The UI is entirely different from the keyboard.
Any idea why that happens? I have not (thankfully) seen that yet.
I dont know. But a comment further up, @[email protected] , suggests it is the barter screen.
