i need tips on how to earn lots of gold fast, i want to buy the house in Windhelm....try not to give me cheats, stop using cheats in all games...just ruins the fun

Don't cheat! If you cheat you may as well read a comic - or watch the movie.

The Dark brotherhood is rather profitable. But did you know that if you complete all the quests in the town the house becomes cheaper? Buy it right off and it is something ridiculous. I got a house in Markarth for 5k - sill don't have one in White Run. If you want somewhere to store your stuff - go to Winterhold and join the college - you get cupboards to store your stuff in. Then you become Arch Mage and you get a whole level to store your stuff on.

1. Mine all the gold in Kolskeggr mine
2. Make gold jewlery (raises smithing skill)
3. Enchant jewlery (raises enchanting)
4. ????
5. Profit

I've got so much money I don't care. I've even stopped looting as I've got over 250k doing nothing.

Smith, sell, smith, sell..

Thieving is quite profitable as well...

Who said crime doesn't pay?

Not me - I got quite a few good items that made a really good profit - espec if you have Clavicus Vile's mask. Prices 20% better.

Can you sell items to a merchant, then steal them back

Good strategy SP

Yes

You steal them after you kill him

Forever Alone indeed

I hear there is a mod that allows it for pc. But PC will also get kinect patch later on.

Well, if it ever gets a Kinect patch, my neighbours will really think I'm demented*, as they'll likely be woken up by "FUS RO DAH" at inappropriate hours!

*More demented than they already think I am, of course.

Lol

Does anyone knw if the Call of Valor works in caves? Just in case i get in a sticky situation.
Also where do if find Dark Elf, Wood Elf and Orc Blood. I've got the High Elf and Falmer already. I've read of Liar's Retreat but there is ALOT of Falmer there, which brings me back to my first question.

I saw it somewhere on FB that it is imminent

And then your name will be printed in the Forever Alone scripts

No idea, first play through I only used it once.

It's a mission, to get the blood. Check in Winterhold's gray quarter, lots of elves there. Orcs are fairly common, just rock up to any of the keeps dotted around Skyrim. Off hand I can think of two, south of High Hrothgar and west of Riften. The other is north of Riften and south-east of Winterhold.

I had no trouble getting the blood - was easy. You need a companion - I have never used Call of Valor so no idea if it works - sorry. Got this guy with a really sexy voice who follows me now. May not be as strong as that Majol character - but he is in no way annoying like she was.

I got the blood, just went around to random places and killed random elves..
Call of Valor works indoors as well....Its awesome...only call dragon is better
Sanguine Rose is also cool
That dog in Daedras' best friend follows me...he NEVER dies!!!

I have never lost a follower - chased one away because he was a wimp though. Imagine surrendering because we were attacked by two dragons

Lydia has died many times, she's got a penchant for stepping between me and whatever target I just released my destructive spell at.

Ah so you murder her.

Manslaughter, it happens accidentally.
