Blade's Skyrim Super Guide!!(note : I won't cover any quests, coz that'd spoil it for ya
Also, I appologize for the huge wall of text!!)
Money Making tips:Easiest way I found to make money was to have some enpty soul gems, a soultrap spell,(which I bought for 275 gold from the Court Wizard in Whiterun) some Iron Ingots, some Leather strips, and make sure you know at least 1 weapon enchantment. (To learn an enchantment, you need to take it to an Archane Enchanter, also found in Dragonsreach). First, find some low level enemies, cast Soultrap, kill them, then go to a Forge (Whiterun again!) Make as many Iron daggers as you can, only need 1 ingot and 1 leather strip. Then, enchant them with your weapon enchantment. You should be able to sell them for between 200-300 gold each. On the plus side, your Smithing, Enchanting and Speech skills will increase too
House Buying Guide: The thing I like about Skyim (or any other Elder Scrolls game) is the ability to buy a house (or 2, or 3!) to store all your loot. So far in Skyrim. I own a house in Winterold and Markath. (the house there is very cool, you get a mannequin to show off your fave armour Cool ) A nice touch is the weapon display plaques, cases and bookshelves.
And, not only is owning a house cool, but if you choose to get married, you can tell your spouse to live there too Cool
Before you buy some house's you've got to get the approval of the Jarl, here's a list of where you can buy a house, how much and who you need to speak to before you buy. Once bought, the Steward will give you a "home decorating guide" , detailing what rooms can be decorated, and what kind of decor you get Cool
Whiterun
Cost : 5000
Purchase From: Proventus Avenicci, the Jarl’s Steward. Must complete the quest “Bleak Falls Barrow.”
Riften
Cost : 8000
Purchase From: The Steward of Riften.
(re : House in Riften.)
After days of trying to buy this house, I finally found a way of buying it!! First, go to Riften Fishery, just outside the main gate, down on the piers. Find an Argonian woman whos sick, talk to her and give her a health potion. After she walks off, talk to her again, and get all the info from her you can. Then, begin the quest about Skooma dealers by talking to The Jarl. After that, you need to "help" 5 citizens of Riften, easy quests really, "fetch this, kill that" kinda quests. After you've done 5 quests, you should get a quest to "Speak to the Jarl". Go see her, and she'll offer to make you a Thane, but first you need to buy property. Speak to the Steward, but don't buy the upgrades before your made a Thane...if you do, it'll glitch the game and not allow you to finish the quest. After the Jarl makes you a Thane, then go and buy all the furnishings for your new house.
Markath
Cost : 8000
Purchase From : The Steward of Markath.
Windhelm
Cost : 12000
Purchase From : The Steward of Windhelm, after completing quests for the Stormcloak Faction.
Solitude
Cost : 25000
Purchase From : The Steward of Solitude, only after completing a quest for the Jarl of Solitude.
Hope this little guide helps you get your foot on the property ladder
Marriage : Ok, so getting married may not be the first thing that players want to do in Skyrim, but nevertheless, its in there! No long winded tasks to complete, simply find the object of your affections, get in their good books, (I helped some woman in Whiterun get a Mammoth Tusk) then go to Riften in the south. Once there go to the Temple of Mara, talk to the priest there about marriage, and he'll tell you how to go about it. Then, he'll offer to sell you an Amulet of Mara for 200 gold, buy it, put it on and go back to your choice of partner. Ask them if they are interested in you, if they are, go back to Riften, see the priest again, and tell him to arrange a wedding for you. Wait a day, go back to the Temple, and get married....simple!!
After the wedding, talk to your spose, and decide where your gunna live, your house or your partners.
