I think the haggling sequence is awesome.
Agreed.
I'd say it makes sense as it is now. 1000 coins sounds like the outrageous demand made so they don't get peanuts and if you decide to bargain with the raider's chieftain, you can hardly say "Actually, nevermind, I think I'll just go now." in the middle of your little parley. Just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do when you're outnumbered and outgunned.

That kind of "next-next" is present in Planescape. And since it has been said to be an influence, people shouldn't be surprised...
There is no other way to create believable conversations and thus believable characters.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean...
I think that is the way to create believable conversations if that's what you meant.

Actually there is...
Make more dialog options (about barging) that won't influence the outcome as the "skill check" already been made,
it would create the false feeling that you actually do have a choice.
That's exactly what we don't want.

By the way, can you say "holding his hand on
the
sword's pommel" if the sword is never mentioned before?
Even better, just drop "holding": ...his hand on his sword's pommel.
Also, it should be "Who can put a price on the life of kin?", not "a kin", nor "the kin". Off the top of my head, kin in its typcial meaning should never have an article in front of it.

Then go with the other way "make more dialog options that will involve other skill checks (speech skills or toughness skills ) that will influence the price (like he will be more favorable to you or be scared of you thus lower the prices)."

I'm not complaining, I'm talking about basic English grammar and hoping that a few corrections of the few sentences I do see will percolate throughout the game and raise the level of the English (not the content, which is great) a little.

Thats the point, changing a word here and there (in an
extremly
text-heavy game, like Vince said about 8 pages of text for an average quest), will
not
raise the level of english in a notable way.

I'm not against polishing every aspect of the game until it really shines, I'm just saying do it in an effective way.

I like the haggling sequence, although I would find it cool if depending on your trade skill, the conversation could break off at different points, yielding different prices.

I thought about it, but that would/might break the dialogue flow. Still, it won't be hard to implement.
