Agreed. It was a little to easy. For me I would just get sigil stones and a bunch of amulets or rings and enchant them. EASY MONEY.

That was one issue with oblivion. There was a lack of good armor/weapons, but you could easily exploit sigil stones for cash.

There was never much point in entering dungeons. I think each dungeon raid (to the end) should net you at least 400-200 gold worth of loot. Depending on whgat kind of stuff lies in the dungeon, better monsters will be gaurding, most of the time. After all, the dungeons with horrible monsters would be the dungeons that were never raided before

People want easer vidya games thus ruining the experience for the rest of us.

You can't possibly be serious, i was swimming in gold after a few hours of gameplay, gold was unbelievably easy to get in Oblivion. Earning money became completely trivial, no, gold certainly should not be easier to get, it should be far harder.

Gold was ridiculous easy to get in Oblivion. Go to the ruin you see then you exit the prison, clear it out take the aleid statue and sell it directly to the collector for 500, also take the magic stones and other valuables. No go south and do the goblin trouble quest. Two goblin totem staffs you can sell for 1200 or 2000 with plugins.
If you go west from Cropford you find another aleid ruin with a statue.
You can now buy the house in IC and equip it and buy some starter spells and equipment.
Travel to Leyawind do Mazoras quest, clear out rockmilk cave and sell the black bows to the count, 2-3000 more septims.
You are have more money than you need at level 2-3.
Do the arena quests, or make potions if you need more.

Nuff said: What?

It's way too easy to get gold in Oblivion dammit. That's why I play with my level 1 character, never leveling up and never getting the 100 pieces of deadric armor so I have houndreds of thousands of gold in my inventory. Make gold worth more so that we would appresiate a reward of 50 gold much more than in Oblivion.

Gold was hard to get in oblivion?

Enter dungeon, crack some skills, sell the 100000000 Daedric cuirasses that drop?

Oh, I suppose that still wasnt enough money for some people, maybe they got addicted to skooma.

I do not think it was too too difficult to obtain gold in Oblivion. In fact, I believe it made cave and dungeon diving worth the time.
You just had to deal with the fact that you were only going to get about 500 - 800 pieces of gold for a weapon worth much more, but hey, what is the difference if you aren't going to use the weapon
and you can sell him as many weapons at once. The gold never lowers. And then with the DLC, the guy that comes to the F. Inn(forget name, but it was by the old bridge SW of Imerial City) he made it easier.
And in Morrowind gold was probobly TOO easy to come by, especially with the mudcrab and scamp.
Step one when starting a new Morrowind game: Get enough gold to have make an ordinator attack you. Kill him from a flower bed. Take his armor and ebony mace to the scamp. Sell and sleep and sell and sleep etc
And BAM you are rich.
I want gold to be much harder to get than in Morrowind. I want to HAVE to cave and dungeon dive at early levels. It is challenging.
A treasure hunter/diver is a rough professsion, but hey, gotta make money some how

Money in morrowind is so much easier to get than in Oblivion that I can't tell if this statement is serious or just trolling.

no and..... no. There would be no challenge.

get to lvl 20 in oblivion; Every bandit/marauder wears deadric/glass. Easy money.

Really? How many Daedric / Ebony / Glass armors were there in Morrowind compared to Oblivion?

I like to see more gold and gems in chests (and on enemies), and less lugging around crazy amounts of armor and weapons for income. It's one part of the game that's never really sat well with me. Reduced max encumbrance, would make gems, trinkets and gold more central to looting, just taking the armor/weapons you want to keep.

Probably not a popular opinion though... and it can always be modded in I suppose

there was alot of daedric weapons worth more than the 1k limit of most merchants, and glass armor popped up alot, and so did ebony in morrowind :shrug:

This

I'm sorry but, I hardly see this thread as serious. The OP has to be joking. Getting gold in Oblivion was so easy, it was a joke.

In Morrowind you don't have to grind 20 levels. If you know where a lot of the good loot is you can become unbearably rich within half an hour of playing the game.

I would say "more ways to obtain money", but also "more work to get that money these new ways", combined with "force me, or make me *want*, to spend my money somehow". I really dislike how everything feels like a freebie for no apparent reason.

Gold was easier to get in Morrowind but you needed more of it. In Oblivion Gold was harder to get but you didn't really need much at all, mostly becasue leveling was so easy that I don't think I needed to buy a single potion.

The quest rewards for morrowind was insane Daedric armor for hardly doing anything LOL!

I don't really want it to be easier, I mean if you are starting out as a prisoner there isn't going to be some random vault somewhere with your gold you start out poor. If they made it a lot easier then there wouldn't really be any poor folk now would there

I don't think anyone had that much gold if they did it was probably a extremely rare thing.
Besides how would an someone traveling around a lot keep that much gold?

This!
and this!

i dont think that it should be easier to get gold, but i however do think that gold should be more meaningful, for example it didnt matter at all if you had 1gold or 10k gold in oblivion, i would like to see the npc's react differently to you if you are rich.

Personally I think it's for the best if Bethesda makes Gold [relatively] hard to come by; ..it will make the game all the more exciting for me and a lot of other people... :yes:


I also could use the TES Construction Set to place a lot of "Chests O' Goodies" all around Skyrim (but I wont do that ).

I want gold to be pretty hard to get. In Oblivion you could find gold in almost every crate or barrel.
