That phrase is pretty lethal to all advocates of

You can run a tidy alchemy business in Darklands, with the right recipes everything you need for vast quantities of florins is at your fingertips!
Yeah, it's a decent game, though one of the large problems I have with it is the ridiculous amount of dialogue, or just the verbosity of it.

Current league, or Standard included?
Raw currency, or all purchases (including current equipped gear across chars) taken in account? I'm not counting my stock for sale though, it's far too vast to bother.

Elona has a pretty detailed (though also fairly hands off) shop owner mechanic you can use, along with some light trading of goods between cities. You can also be a minstrel and get money either from street performances or by performing at parties. Also farming and ranching. And mining. Oh, and a thieves guild for stolen goods. And selling slaves. And being a whore.
Or you can ignore all that and just do normal dungeon crawling stuff.

Raw, standard, without counting gear.

M&B Warband. You manage your own mercenary band which can later change into your own whole kingdom. If you are trading guy, instead of hunting peasants for profit you can just buy low and sell high different goods while behaving like fucking rat running from cats when you travel map loaded with goods hoping no one will rape you.
Do people really play a game like M&B, that is essentially a medieval combat simulator, and play that as a merchant?
Sounds a bit like people saying Daggerfall was awesome because you could roleplay a linguist.

Golden Land? Good luck finding that game tho.

Approx 850 ex in raw currency, not counting frags and div cards.
I almost never trade in Standard, so it's basically what has accumulated from temp leagues, and it's not much really because I usually spend most of my league currency buying extravagant shit for Standard.
lukaszek really exaggerates my "master salesman" status. I can acquire wealth when needed, but I only do it when needed.
I did when I played Prophecy of Pendor, the mod was so fucking hard and unbalanced I had to become a jew just to hire mercenaries who wouldn't die 5 seconds into a battle.

I guess Blackguards can be LARPed as a mercenary operation. Otherwise, it's a linear URPEEGEE.
Freeroaming RPG's really fit the bill, generally. Baldur's Gate 2 with its stronghold management and flood of items should be right up your alley. I think trading is a viable route in TES games even before Morrowind - well, at least you could buy a cart in Daggerfall to stash even more loot and shit was expensive to buy.
AntharioN is a relatively new RPG that allows you to focus on the money making side of things.
Wizardry 8 is really a resource management/ trading game on Expert difficulty. Apart from a few things like having one or two fast characters to get your shields up, it's all about abusing alchemy to make potentially infinite moneyz to trade for scrolls of protection, potions and resurrection powders.
The old Megatraveller games deserve special mention, I guess, since you can literally start off with an old geezer who has tons of money but ill health, and you can trade goods between a gazillion planets (including smuggling forbidden items through customs checks if you have a sneaky guy).
Jagged Alliance 2... isn't an RPG
