That's a bunch of [censored]. It's an ELDER SCROLL yet according to this librarian guy it's worth less than the cheapest house in the game? At least give us a cool item or some sort of special privileges or SOMETHING. 2k gold already isn't much money to me, and for something as powerful as an elder scroll I'd expect more in return.
The librarian should come and tell you to stop shouting when you use shouts in the library. That would have been a perfect lol moment. Sadly, it looks like it was something Bethesda overlooked.
The only one at the college who actually has customers is the enchanter - and his income is wholly dependent on the one or two visitors they have a year agreeing to be his fedex service.
Yea. The College is pretty much isolated/poor. As stated in game, their only contact with the outside is the Enchantment services. I don't doubt that 2k is all they could afford.
