As a seller of potions, it is your duty to sell the potions, not take moral; high grounds. Truly the potion seller was in the wrong

Baldur's Gate is an RPG

He's a racist and a rascal.

As someone who briefly went to pharmacy school, I can assure you that there is a great deal of moral conjecture involved in selling certain medications to certain people and you absolutely have the right to refuse a patient their medicine.

>sell potion to someone you know can't handle the potency
>he dies
>family forms a lynch mob and hangs you for killing their son
potion seller did nothing wrong.

The Potion Seller knows his own brews. One look at the Knight was enough to tell him he didn't have the fortitude to handle his strongest potions, so he refused to hand them over. If a weakling like the Knight were to die from the potion it would be on the Seller, which is bad for his reputation and business. So he was protecting him. While the knight may have perished in battle as a result of not being able to ingest a powerful potion, his death would have been guaranteed outright if he were to have ingested such a potent brew unprepared. It's unfortunate but that's just how it works.

What is this? The three headed professor of bullshit?

Knight.

The potion seller. The knight was prepared to die in battle and needed any possible edge. Potion Seller arbitrarily denied him service so Knight is probably just going to die by the sword anyways.

>First reply that's actually about the topic
>It's completely retarded and wrong

The knight should had gotten prescription from his doctor first. Pharmacists aren't allowed to sell their strongest potions over the counter

No the potion sellers potions would have killed the knight. He recommended the knight go find a seller that sells weaker potions.

Imagine being too much of a bitch to be a knight, then on top of it being a cunt and not selling your product. Jesus

Potion seller. He shouldn't have even brought up his strongest potions because then the knight isn't going to shut his stupid mouth until he gets them. He should have sold the knight a potion he could handle and told him it was his strongest.

>the knight doesn't have the potion seller lashed for disrespecting and denying him, a knight, while the potion seller is a mere peasant
Immersion ruined.

The potion seller is wrong. The knight could have used those potions as poisons.

remember to buy his new book

Stupidest video ever. Can't believe 15 yos found this shit funny.

>le randumb face lol!

>GUYS I CAME INTRO A THREAD AND THREW A TANTRUM LOLOL XDD

If he was so afraid of dying in battle, it is a clear sign that the potion would have been too strong for him.

Both, the potion seller for having a store that sells potions to presumably no one
The knight for being incapable of questing without a crutch

In a perfect world...

...men like me would not exist...

...but this is not a perfect world!

Literally r*ddit 2.0. Fucking Yea Forumseddit

Yea Forums is never allowed to enjoy anything ever. lest we be like reddit. we must suppress any kind of joy or humor.

Neither. Merchants are free to deny services to anyone and the knight clearly had no other options lest he would have left.

Thanks for the three (You) you homosexual newfaggot

>I came into a thread about a topic I dont like and now I am angry
>how could this be happening to me
>autism.png

Meme master please! I am going to shitpost and I need only your strongest memes!

Imagine being one of the weakest and wanting potion that is only for the strongest

Shitposter! Enough of these gamezzz. I need only your strongest memes

My strongest memes can kill an Australian let alone an average user, you need a memester that sells weaker memes.

Are there any games where this sort of scenario applies? Where your character experiences adverse effects from drinking too high-level of a potion? Or where a potion seller will deny you service because you're too low level?

This sounds kind of /pol/ but
Was this a metaphor for gay cakes?

>to presumably no one
he explicitly sells them to high-level customers only. knight was just a bumbling fucking noob and the potion seller had all the right in the world to fuck him off like he did

>The young knight goes off into to battle and lives
>He grows stronger
>He survives many battles and grows stronger each time
>Many years pass and the Knight is now a seasoned war veteran
>He goes back to the potion seller who is now an old man
>"Potion seller, I require your strongest potions"I
>The potion seller adjusts his glasses and looks at the knight
>"Sir Knight, you cannot have my potions"
>"Why potion seller? have lived through many battles, and I have proven myself more than worthy and I require your strongest potions"
>"You have proven yourself, but you do not need them, for none f my potions can match the power true power from within your heart.
>The Knight had finally understood, and so he left for battle.

In a perfect world... men like me would not exist.

he specifically says his potions aren't fit for a beast let alone a man

The Knight. Potion seller could have been less of a dick about it, though.

>Demands the strongest potions
>Told he's not strong enough to handle the potions
>Proceeds to cry about not getting the potions
Wow, such a brave Traveler indeed...

>Ethical Appeal (ethos)
Potion Seller is clearly a master of his craft, to the point that he is simply known abroad as "The Potion Seller". He produces only the strongest potions, implying that he is at the top of his field and his usual clientèle are beyond the realm of man or beast (demigods, demons, fae). He is so experienced he is able to aptly judge by sight whether or not you are capable of consuming his potions and surviving.
In the Knight's case it was clear to the Potion Seller's expert, professional opinion that he was simply TOO WEAK for his potions, and requested that he find a seller who provides appropriate beginner grade potions for weaklings so that he doesn't die.
>Emotional Appeal (pathos)
Now that we have established the Potion Seller's expertise and unbiased judgment, a responsible potion seller/consumer relationship dictates that the Potion Seller must refuse the sale of product he knowingly realizes will be used for grievous self-harm resulting in death.
Demanding the Potion Seller sell the Knight a potion is like asking him to have a direct role in the Knight's suicide, something that would now unfairly weigh on his conscious for the rest of his life.
>Logical Appeal (logos)
- Dangerous drugs are legally restricted for a good reason. Kids can't just buy alcohol, people can't just grab over-the-counter morphine because they want it. Drug abuse can destroy lives and entire communities.
- By his rights as a business owner, the Potion Seller can refuse a customer if they violate the rules of his shop so long as they are not unjustly prejudiced rules (physical capability is not an an unjust prejudice, such as being too short or too fat to go on a ride at the amusement park).
- Selling the Knight a potion that he knows will kill him directly harms the Potion Seller's business, as it publicly undermines his credibility and integrity. It also damages his reputation as an elite, premium potion selling service.

What's this from?

The knight for making such a fuss. Potion seller was a terrible merchant though

Just google potion seller

The man does business with legendary heroes and demigods, so what?

based plato's disciple

I wouldn't necessarily say either were in the wrong but if I had to choose I'd say the knight
I will say the potion seller was in the right even though he was a bit of an asshole
he reserves the right to refuse service or not sell his potions for any reason whatsoever

you still can't blame the knight for trying to buy them, he just had no charisma and doesn't understand that he doesn't have the endurance to handle the potions anyways

I swear there was an RPG where consuming too many potions would be toxic but you could make yourself more resistant to it
I feel like it was the witcher 3

bait master, I'm going to go fishing, and I need only your strongest bait!

buy his goddamn book

the potion seller has to deal with dipshit "knights" all day. of course people would get on his nerves after having the same conversation over and over again. Work in retail and youll understand. the knight is a fruit and was a typical nigger scammer customer

>Potion Seller is clearly a master of his craft, to the point that he is simply known abroad as "The Potion Seller"
while I believe that potion seller was in the right, you have no evidence to base this on
the knight just walked up to him and said "hello potion seller"
there's no evidence that he's known as that, maybe the knight would just say that to any potion seller, and you have no evidence he's known as "The Potion Seller" abroad, or even that his potions are good. perhaps the potion seller is just really full of himself when in reality his potions are average, maybe even worse, maybe he's new and was convinced that telling his customers that his potions were too strong for them would make them want it more but it got too intense and he forgot to actually sell them
there's any number of possibilities, and combined they represent reasonable doubt
I still believe he was right for what I stated here but just wanted to point out that we don't actually know if what the potion seller says is true

Why couldn't the potion seller just give him a weaker potion

He specializes in endgame potions. You're not gonna sell a +9000 HP potion to a noob with 50 health.

The knight should have asked for potions at his level, drank them all, then used his boosted stats to rob the potion seller.

he only sells potions for the strongest, it's not profitable to sell weak potions, in fact, it's probably going to cost him more than it's worth because of the time he needs to spend, which must be extremely valuable at such a high level of expertise
>why respect knights, when my potions can do anything that you can?
the potion seller probably can handle stronger potions and would have destroyed that knight

Labeling the Potion Seller as an unreliable source is extremely difficult and contrived. The only way you could do it is by implying that he literally just started his store, and is opting for pure lies and hardball tactics against his first customers but also is "just forgetting to actually sell to them".
To suggest this is a "reasonable doubt" is retarded. It's the opposite of reasonable, it's extremely unreasonable, his name is fucking Potion Seller, how the fuck does he forget to sell potions?

Meanwhile:
>Creating potions has an extremely high cost involved
Ingredients, laboratory space and instruments (measuring tools, burners, very complicated glass-work), research, preparation, testing, etc. It isn't something you just decide to do on a whim and live for very long, it would take years of study and lots of money.
>The Potion Seller is still in business.
Again, unless he JUST opened his store, he is able to keep it open and make more potions through some means of income. As established, practicing alchemy is a big investment. It's unlikely he's working another job and just started slinging potion as some kind of hobby.
The more likely explanation is that he only needs to sell a small amount of his extremely powerful potions for exorbitant prices.
>The Potion Seller does not want to make the sale
Unless you want to play make-believe about how he just "forgot" to sell, it's apparent that just taking money when he can isn't his top priority. He is prideful and arrogant, but the point of his pride is the supreme quality of his potions and the strength of his select few customers. He aggressively recommends the Knight shop somewhere else.

Unless we get confirmation or any evidence that the Potion Seller is merely a shitty distributor, it's pretty clear he knows his shit.
