How Relationships Affect the Nivalis Nights Economy
Confirmed economic effects from vendors and business relationships.
Economic relationship layer
The developer’s Q&A explicitly answers that relationships can influence gameplay. It separates business effects from the story and side-quest outcomes caused by other character interactions.
Two variables can change price
Vendor loyalty may lower prices, while world events can alter market behavior. Testing must control for both before assigning a saving to one relationship choice.
What guides will calculate
Release guides will compare prerequisites, purchase history, price changes and opportunity value. They will avoid labeling a relationship “best” unless its benefits are measured against lost alternatives and story consequences.
