was just wondering how i improve my speech in this game

Well, other than the obvious training, I have found that the easiest thing is to just sell things to vendors. You get moneys, while getting speech experience. You can also bribe/initimidate/persuade...etc...

NOTE: The amount of skill progress gained is based on the base value of the item being bought/sold. However, if you trade multiple units of an item in one transaction, you will only gain experience equivalent to trading a single unit; for optimal leveling, sell each item one at a time, and sell expensive items.

What if I DON'T want to raise my speech skill, what do I do?
My character could be some offensive bastard who acts obnoxious and disrespectful, I don't want to be known as a man with "honeyed words".
You would have to avoid buying and selling things, which is such a major part of the game. This could have been handled better imo.

Also, I took this as a thread of how to improve speech as a gameplay mechanic, sorry if I misunderstood. My point still stands though.

You're exactly right. My character ain't the chatty type either, but I still have 42 in speech simply because I have to trade to live. It really svcks how you can't avoid leveling up speech. Most other skills you can avoid using if you really want to, although not picking locks doesn't open a lot of doors (pun intended), and if you can live without your ×2 dmg bonus on archery you don't have to level sneaking either.

From a rping perspective it makes sense that transacting business raises speech. If you want low speech don't sell stuff...

That's just silly. Merchants are a HUGE part of Skyrim (although with the lack of unique items they aren't as useful as the ones in Oblivion). You shouldn't have to restrict yourself from doing something if you don't want to train a skill. That's the whole reason Athletics and Acrobatics were removed, because it happens naturally.

Agreed. Loot corpses and scour dungeons. You should get at least a cool grand just looting the bigger dungeouns. It is admittedly harder to gain money this way, but they are way more than enough dungeons in Skyrim to get bundles of money.
