The question is pretty simple- as you collect your first shiny gold coins, you'll hopefully be saving them for some big purchase. What's first on your list of priorities? Are you going to save up for a horse, or spend a little on training to get through dungeons a little easier? Are you going to dungeon dive all day hoping for a big score, or will you buy your first decent weapons and armor?
I'm going to try and be really good this time and save for a house first. Every time I play I buy spells and enchantments, all the while piling my stuff in the corner of some random house I broke into. I need a place to live, fast.
First thing I buy will be a new weapon or armour piece - the best I can afford. I'll sell all the stuff I find before my first town that I don't want to use, and spend all my saved-up pennies on some decent gear. Probably some sort of battleaxe, seeing as I doubt I'll have found one in the post-execution dungeon.
My first house will probably be "funded" by the owner's death. Houses are very expensive in Oblivion and I'd imagine they will be in Skyrim too. I don't think I'll kill them myself, but I'll probably invite someone to be my companion, and if something befalls them I'll nab their property. It'd be rude not to.
I'm a hoarder. Ill save up my pile of gold and spend it on stuff that I need. If I can get this "stuff" through dungeons, gathering, stealing etc... then I don't waste my money on it
ye definitely need a good horse, as im just gonna be an adventurer to begin with. and ill probably make my own house to stash me loot. or should i say my man cave bliviongate:
How goes the money, well I'm sure it isn't hard to tell. It goes for rent and water rates. Bread 'n butter, coal and grates. Hats, clothes, hoops and hose, And that's the way the money goes.
