I played the game without stealing and tried to explore but when i tried to admire everyone my skill was so low they all ended up hating me and so i had to constantly reload just to complete a quest. Whenever i did find a good piece of treasure most of the time it was not suited to my skills and so by using it i was retarding the level progression of my character and it was worth too much to sell to anyone. I can see that the total immersion in this game is the appeal but little flaws like the advancement system, lack of merchants with money to buy the best goods and lack of dialogue options meant that every time i started to get into character something got on my nerves and i lost that feeling.
I think I will have to accept that I can not overlook this games flaws and good luck to all of you who love it.

You're missing the point. Regarding personality, you're just not working the skills properly. I've worked up my personality and speechcraft big time and have most people around 80 to 100 in their esteem of me. Wearing esquisite clothes has helped as well.
However, that's the aspect of my character I've focussed on. He has trouble in hard fights at the moment.
Like I said, you can't have everything. It's a matter of negotiating the weaknesses, and playing to the strengths.
Similarly, money is not an endless supply. The game uses the word BARTERING. They'll have more money if you buy and then sell.
Besides, if no-one can afford your asking price, perhaps you should be lowering it. That is an option you know.
It makes it more realistic than if the merchants just sat on huge amounts of cash. Life's not like that.
