Talk:Blacksmith (Fayrlund)/@comment-4997136-20181019181325

It is a different blacksmith, sort of. The man pictured above is indeed already in Fayrlund when you first get there. However, I freed the smith from the cage and patiently followed him to the village. He walks right up beside the pre-existing guy and can then be interacted with; but, the two craftsmen use the same interface. The chosen dialogue lines were grayed out identical to the original smith, as if I'd already spoken to him. The two had identical inventories and available crowns. Also, beating the freed blacksmith at gwent only rewarded me with the crowns and crafting materials. So, they're different, but basically the same. Meditating for an hour removed both craftsmen from the village, but walking a short distance away and returning spawned the original smith at his usual spot.
