leoriq Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Post here your character level and how much gold you have accumulated! I beieve that my character find too much gold while wandering around Skyrim. So much that he is the richest man in the world. The thing is that he even doesn't know where to spend those millions! All houses are bought, all non-uinique armors and weapons are crafted, all potions are brewed. The gold is just useless now. Is that only mine Orc - or your character also carries tons of useless metal? Edited September 24, 2012 by leoriq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkhAscendant Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Level 51, ~40,060 gold. I haven't even bothered picking up loot to sell in a long time... (Which is actually kinda useful since I'm a wimpy mage and don't have that much carrying capacity :P ) Skyrim does need money sinks that add something to the game. I for one would like to be able to donate money to people I feel deserve it. Beggars, Forsworn, that one Dunmer merchant in Windhelm... Of course, I'd actually like them to act like they have money, too, instead of it just disappearing from my inventory and them acting like normal, so I'm probably asking too much.

McclaudEagle Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was actually working on a mod that would raise the prices of nearly everything to make it more realistic and difficult. I think I set the house in Solitude to cost around 80,000 gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dovahkiin069 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I have a Nord level 81, he have like 89.947 gold. Like you, I've already all the armors and weapons that I need, all houses with all the decorations. But sometimes I have to buy food, because I use the mod Basic Needs, and my char needs food, water and a safe place to sleep,I have the mod that makes dangerous to sleep in the wilds, so I use Inns. And I need to buy healing and stamina potions, because my Warrior need to be prepared to battle. More gold is always better.

JanusForbeare Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Most games never have enough gold sinks, and Skyrim is certainly no exception. I'm in favour of any realistic mod that requires the player to part with more of his or her hard(ly) earned cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki180 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I just started a new save. I already have over 1k gold after a few dungeons. Would be all good, but the one thing that annoys me is that even though the play can become rich. Theres not much to buy, We all love being a capitalist pig, but in Skyrim not much we have to buy unless its Armor, Weapons, Spells, or a few houses. Get a good set of armor and weapons and you never really need to make any gold again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBryan18 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 It's not that there's too much gold... There's too much loot everywhere. Especially the price you get for potions and dragon bones... I play by one rule when it comes to picking stuff up... 1 pound to 100 gold ratio, or I leave it. I usually pass up most armors, but I still accumulate way too much loot. I have a mod that increases the merchants gold, which I feel is realistic. What isn't realistic is that there would be valuables laying around everywhere for the taking. Then again, perhaps I need to remember just how many people I have to kill to get that loot. Someone who kills so many enemies probably does deserve to get compensated. So I guess I agree with the last post... Maybe it's not the gold that seems unrealistic... but that there aren't any castles I can buy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperTheLich Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 characters ranging from lvl-69 to lvl-151. combat, stealth and magic chara-types. gold ranging from 250,000 drakes to 3,000,000 (and counting)no such thing as too much gold in an rpg, IMHO.

fraquar Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) One money sink I'd love to see is instead of buying horses you rent them instead (say for like a 2 week in-game period). If you do own them, then have a maintenance/upkeep fee with the stable in your hold (i.e. the cost of feeding, care and the rental horse while yours is housed for rest). Extend that concept to hirelings horses (you'd be the one expected to provide a horse for their use if you hired them and required horse travel afterall) and you'd have a nice recurring money sink and one that you could control if it seemed like it was too burdensome too soon. Seriously, the stables are equipped to care for horses, adventurers aren't. Edited September 23, 2012 by fraquar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep the jarls in sweetrolls and mead somehow :P Maybe, somehow, in Skyrim all of the stablemasters and stablehands are actually a charity, providing free service to needy adventurers out of the goodness of their hearts.
