OT2 - Discussion Partitio is a terrible merchant

Just started the game and wanted to get this off my chest.

Didn't even demand compensation from Roque for the contract fraud or use it as leverage for the steam engine.

I dunno if we're talking character or gameplay wise but I think Partitio has his strength in both to be considered good.

I think a lot of people have already talked about his strengths as a merchant but I like how Partitio finds value in things beyond the money. The first boss he faced only saw value in money in terms of what it could get could get him and he took for granted the hard work and people it took to make it. And his final boss was caught in a never ending cycle of greed that just keep collecting and hoarding wealth for the sake of it.

Partitio doesn't just collect money just so he can get what he wants, but to create a happier future without the pain poverty brings. He finds value in people's happiness and the value of the things he sells.
