Trader Reputation

[PewP3r]

How about alongside the lukewarm rewards one gets from trader quests, your reputation for that specific trader also increases. This would basically be a Barter skill but for one specific trader that gets you better deals and access to better stuff over time. So, a player could either level their Barter skill or work with specific traders to run quests for favor. If the player has Barter already, think of favor as a slower mechanism to fill the Barter bucket. The higher of the two would be the operating perk at any given vendor

Don't we have a low-key 'reputation' system, the more quests you complete, the higher the tier? The infrastructure's already there, could add bartering to it, ish? ;x Or more item unlocks?

The story of 7D2D is supposed to be about two factions (White River and the Duke) and that you can join either faction and earn reputation with them. The traders will belong to a faction and I would assume that better reputation will get you better deals from the trader.
