[edit] Mission Notes
A certain businessman is looking for someone to do some light troubleshooting for him. Maybe you should give him a call.
[edit] Introduction
This is the first of the Freetrader Career Missions. you will be introduced to your main career contact NPC, who will first ask you a few questions about your motivations, and then outline his business plan for you and tell you what you can do to help. You are to attend a trade conference in his place and find out some things about his competitors.
A few basic rules which are by themselves sufficient for this mission:
- Exhaust all conversation option with every NPC you meet
- You might have to talk to some NPCs more than once or even more than twice, because you might get new conversation options that were unlocked while talking to someone else
[edit] Getting Inside
Once you are at the location of the conference, you will first find yourself in an ante-room with a few NPCs: the host, one of the traders, and the doorman. The doorman won't let you in because your business contact is something of a persona non grata among his peers... so talk to the other trader and the host to get the trader to sponsor you (you will have to go back and forth between the two a few times. For example, the host will need to sign your invite after the trader has sponsored you, only then will the doorman accept it).
[edit] Talking to the Traders
Once you're inside, there is now a large number of new traders for you to talk to. As stated before, talk to everyone. Then go and talk to everyone again. In particular, take notice of two things:
- there is a table with various wines and spirits in one of the siderooms, and
- there is a rather nervous fellow in the corridor just to the right of the entrance (remember his name - make a note if necessary).
These two belong together. One of the traders upstairs will tell you about the nervous guy's drinking problem at some point, mentioning him by name - now you'll be able to talk to him again and ask him if he wants a drink (actually, if you've paid attention to the various mission briefings up to this point, hints about it have come up repeatedly). Then you can click on the wine table and return to him. This will finish one of the three objectives and enable another one to be finished elsewhere (without the alcoholic you can't finish "First Trader" objective)
