My follower has several hundred thousand as well...and I have over 60k gold on me as well......i should be able to buy solitude for that

And I gave all of money to the beggars in the Nine Holds. For shame.

I don't think people are mugged in Skyrim... And wow! The most money I've ever held was 14k, before I bought a house in Windhelm.

I really need my own shop, the chests in my homes take a while to open with all the stuff I dungeon raid, madness I tell ya.

You never met a bandit?

Go and walk around some of the roads in Skyrim. Give your cash to the bandits that will attempt to mug you on the road.

What do you think all those bandits are attacking you for?

I do like the fact that you rinse a city of all its gold selling stuff, save, quit and restart skyrim and they have their gold back ready to buy more quality merchandise from me.

bandits, oh is that what they were trying to do, my faithful followers...kharjo, spectral assassin, barbas, shadowmere tend to mug them 1st

They sell the stuff back for over twice what you sold it to them.

The DB vendor in Oblivion wasn't lying.

You not only get standard bandits but actual proper highway men sometimes that will give you the option to just give them your gold. Just keep walking till they appear.

I rarely follow the roads, shadowmere likes the offroad..gotta keep the horse happy.

how on earth do you accumulate that much wealth? im ALWAYS poor coz i like to shop and buy crap that im proably not gonna use. ohhh how my real life is similar.

Between you and your follower you have over 1 million? I'm not as gullible as some I guess, cuz I call BS.

You would have to have kept every piece of crap item you found in game. Then, since the weight limit, give it all to your follower (who also has a trade weight limit). So, you would have to loot all items your self. Then, command your follower to individually (1 at a time) pick up every item you dropped.

Yes, it's extremely easy to get money if you enchant and then sell all of it to the merchant. You can make serious cash quick that way. But to have that much worth and weight......nah.

Thanks, for telling me and my thief character thanks you, too.

Maybe people, except less intelligent bandits etc, don't attack you because you have svck awesome stuff. Awesome, expensive stuff usually means well-trained badass

I had over four million gold in Oblivion and no one ever robbed me.

A bandit approached me earlier; with my 100k of gold in pocket, on my professional merchant character, with a horse laden with the finest enchanted wares.

Bandit: "Gief me j00r moneh!"
Khajiit: "Do i LOOK like I have any gold?"
Bandit: "...eh, now you mention it. No, get out of here"

Thing with being a merchant, is you have a high speechcraft, and if you have a high speechcraft you can just talk your way out of it... this leads to the paradox whereby thieves are more likely to try mug dumb-barbarians and un-couth mercenaries, than nobles and merchants

I have about 120,000 gold on my character and that doesn't include all of the weapons, armor, staffs, Dragon Priest masks, gems, ingots, leather, etc I have stored in my chest. I also have a ton of ingredients in another chest with thousands upon thousands of ingredients stocked up. I have an OCD problem when it comes to looting and picking anything and everything I see.

He was fooled by your cute kitty routine.

Anyway to answer the OP's question, would YOU attempt to rob someone who can carry a metric ton of solid gold without any apparent effort?

On a side note, no one ever attempts to pick up items I dropped in the game for some reason. Neither to return it nor claim it. Even when say item is worth more than the solitude house. (Legendary Jagged Crown)

You are also a god-killer

First, how much is exploited enchanting gear worth? Does the gold value scale with the damage/armor/stats?

Second, necklaces can be worth 3-4k easily and weigh only 0.3-0.5. This means you could have that much wealth without being over limit if you craft and enchant gold flawless diamond necklaces.

Seems to me that scripted events in which you get pickpocketed if carrying a lot of money would be nice.

exactly, i have a lot of top end necklaces (from dungeon raiding you get lots), rings and magic robes all with minimal weight and decent value, and most of my levels have been invested in stamina and i wear enchanted haulage gear, i am a mobile cart.

the guy who said BS should maybe play a bit longer, wealth is easy to come by and what i have and on me is modest compared to some i'd say (i have probably a couple of mil worth in chests in my various houses...I go into dungeons now and usually come out with several pieces of enchanted ebony stuff and diamond / emerald and gold necklaces, etc.....

I sold 30k profit worth of stuff yesterday, and did not dent what i have...only sold so little as was questing and selling to poor shopkeepers, i need someone who can buy 50k+ at a time, that is the DLC I want

Dark Brotherhood perks FTW!
