10 Video Game Shopkeepers Who Sold You Utter Trash
3. Wirt The Peg-Legged Boy - Diablo
There's no two ways about it - Diablo's vendor Wirt the Peg-Legged Boy sucks.
Beyond the fact that Wirt's inventory is generally pretty unremarkable and wildly overpriced, he won't even show you what he's got until you pay him 50 gold first.
This effectively places a tax on the entire transaction before it's even started, and in turn pressures you to actually buy something after you've already sunk 50 gold for the mere "privilege" of looking.
To make matters worse, Wirt will only sell one item to you in a single transaction, meaning that everything you buy from him basically costs an extra 50 gold. Talk about a hustle.
Wirt certainly got his just desserts in Diablo II, though, as players can stumble upon his corpse following the siege of Tristram.
Better still, you're able to loot his dead body and steal his peg-leg, the latter required to unlock the game's infamous Secret Cow Level.
