I'm an ex Runescape Player moderator and behind the scenes content/ ideas guy for Mod Mark Ogilvie (lead content designer) and Mod MMG (ex C.E.O Mark Gerhard) I found myself getting bored of that game after they forced too much content into the game, completely changed their player base, divided it in half thanks to my stupid suggestion about Oldschool Runescape. I also was responsible for squeal of fortune although it was not the spec I gave to Mark Ogilvie. It was meant to be a locational gnome casino but due to certain gambling laws he had to go with the "always win a prize" wheel spin rubbish that turned out to be squeal of fortune. Sorry about that if you ever played Runescape.
I Do find myself playing Skyrim quite a bit these days. I have a habit of starting new games as different characters and simulating life as different characters.
I'm currently a native indian type-guy, living in camps, using torches as camp fire and hunting various wildlife for sustenance. I can't think of any glitches or tips at the moment but I'm sure many will come to me after finishing this post. One thing I would point out that is probably pretty obvious is the best way I've found of making money is having a follower woodcut outside the inn in Whiterun and then selling the wood to hilda inside the inn (I think that's her name) for 5 gold per log so you can make around 1000gp per Skyrim day. (bearing in mind I play it like a simulator so I sleep when it gets dark. You can probably make around 2k per day.)
I recommend having faendal, from riverwood, as your first follower. You can pay him to train your range and then confiscate the gold back off of him and repeat. Helps boost your range in the early part of the game.
