No cheating, or abuse here. Never resurected anything to kill again. Never picked a pocket (except the one quest). Did have repair at level 3 early on and repaired everything before selling it. Did hit level 5 repair with a ton of stuff stored in a chest and repaired it all before selling it. Did pick up every single item that did not cause a stealing conversation. Did pick every locked chest/door. Did kill every enemy in the game pre-gong. Did have level 2 Alchemy very early in the game (10 gold converts to 50 or was it 100?) which equaled lots of extra gold via creating healing/mana/restoration potions for 1/5 the cost.
I easily could have had more gold if I had not bought all those super healing potions (barely ever used one, and easily found as many as I used), spellbooks (I bought every one I found for sale even though the only spell I cast is Restoration), and green/blue/red charms (of which I only used 1-3 even though I bought/found 20-40 of them).
I actually thought I may make a character specifically to make the most cash possible: max repair, level 2 alchemy, max identify, max pickpocket, max pick lock. Never sell anything not at full durability. Buy every small empty flask, and create potions with them. Pick everyone's pockets. Pick every lock. Never buy anything I am not going to use (I wasted alot of gold on spellbooks and green/blue/red charms). Never pay to repair/identify anything. I just thought it may be interesting to know just how much cash I could get.
