To me, this represents an overall balance issue with the economy. Henry can quickly and easily attain 20k worth of items with a simple raid on Opawitz. Traders generally only have 300-1000 gold at one time, which is a departure from the original. In KCD1, traders' wealth would grow as you sold and bought items from them. This resulted in Henry being quite wealthy, which is even referenced by Sir Divish when rebuilding Pribyslavitz as Henry has to provide funding (~100k for the most efficient completion). Back to KCD2, i can see how there could quickly be no beggars if Henry has that type of capital. I'm sure this snowballs quickly into other issues with the economy, but I hope they make an adjustment as the joy I got from looting and selling items in KCD1 doesn't exist in KCD2.
