Summary
None
Purpose of change
Bootstrapping the Tacoma ranch right now makes all the inhabitants indebted to you for life, but it's not as though that makes perfect sense: They can't just start giving away all their stock to you, because they still report to the Refugee Center to facilitate trading. Besides, most of them don't even have a shop running (the part that bothers me the most, as you get to look at taking their personal belongings when you don't really have any business doing so).
Describe the solution
Set
"has_generic_rewards": false
to most NPCs in Tacoma (exception is Scavenger Boss, because he does have a shop with enough value attached, while giving quests. Reward could feasibly come in the form of wares... you're practically selling gear to him with the quests. I just chose not to touch that because it involves arbitrary adjustment of the "value" value)This being in draft: Setting upAdded more believable rewards with the end of Doctor and Bartender quests (the foreman giving you cash for use in other shops)Describe alternatives you've considered
Testing
When this is out of draft, I'll hopefully have done everything in regards to testing it working and adjusting dialogue options.Did all the quests for the Foreman, Nurse, Doctor and Bartender (I couldn't figure out how to do the Pablo quest, but I will trust that the setting change that breaks for noone else, would not break with him). I mostly looked for the post-quest "How about some items as payment?" and did not see any such prompt for the questlines in question.
Tested the Foreman giving you cash, and I see no dialogue out of place (he only says the "Hello again" thing whenever there's an unclaimed reward)
Additional context
"Can you share some equipment?" on mission start is not something I've figured out how to avoid, but whether I should is something I have not yet pondered. In doing the Scrapper quests (for the Doctor) it seems such extraneous options don't exist, but I'm not perfectly how to achieve that, nevermind it not really being the point of this PR.
look karol, I'm deleting (rewards) by adding lines!
