Get the Black Star. Kill Mammoths and fill the Blck Star with the Grand Souls. Go to a Bandit Camp and kill everyone. Take all of their weapons and armor and enchant them. This gives you combat skills, enchanting skills, and TONS of extra Septims.

If you need septims, all you need to do is fortify your restoration...

Here's a faster method....

>Go adventuring and collect all the loot you can carry
>Go back to town and sell said loot
>??????
>Profit!

Get the Black Star. Choose option to make it an evil black star that can capture human souls. Have endless supply of Black Star refills, since there's a bandit-soul 7-11 on every corner, in Skyrim. No need to F with mammoths. Unless yer one of them squeamish, goody-two-shoes types who feels bad capturing bandit or necromancer souls... not I.

it's goody-two-shoes to spare marauders with burnt corpses stuck on pikes?

what did captain earth say...
KNOWLEDGE IS HALF THE BATTLE

who on earth needs gold? i was just short of getting breezehome on my first lvl 5, so i walked around, then i found a dragon, killed it, sold its bones and scales for like 400g.... one kill=400g... sounds too easy to me...

I'll leave that philosophical conundrum up to you to decide. Me, if it moves, and I can kill it and take it's soul without getting caught, it's in real trouble, buddy.

Pretty simple role playing. Have you considered something a bit more evolved?

if you don't want to roleplay a bunch of characters and play throught the same content multiple times, then, create an allpowerful hybrid that will allow you to play through however you'd like on any given day and still access all the content.

however, the appropriate perks need to be chosen.

Indeed, I do have 'nice' chars who only use the black star on bandits and necros, but not hunters or random wanderers or those stendarr freaks. My current assassin, however, has no such scruples. But, outside of contracts, he doesn't usually mess with townies at all- although Nazeem has been just begging to get on my greatest 'hits' list...

Wow i did not thought about that one, thank you!
