I always wanted more intelligent interaction with the shopkeepers. It never made sense to me that regardless of how your PCs evolved and advanced, the shopkeepers were always immune to your intervention. (e.g., you are the Chosen One, have the Maven, have become a zenmaster, etc. etc... yet the lowliest shopkeeper is still your superior.)

I like the shopkeeping setup in Wizardry 8 where you can fully interact, befriend, annoy or even kill shopkeepers. And if you do the latter, then you are SOOL 'cause then the shop dries up! One of the very few things I liked better about Wiz8.

Funny, now that I think of it (a bit off topic...) now that both W&W and Wiz8 are a couple years behind me, it's amazing how many more memories I have of W&W than Wiz8!
