I have a question about weapons...I tend to horde weapons in these games because i "never know when i'll need them". Which weapons do I really NEED to keep..are there any that will come up at another point in the game I will need to use one for..for instance I have like 3 different staffs that I have gotten from defeating people..do I NEED those? Or dose it basically come down to personal choice??
Thanks
You can usually tell what weapons are unique based on their names and appearance. As I can recall, there aren't actually many items that you won't find again through some form or other. If the weapons and staffs you have are the same in appearance as other weapons, but with just an enchantment, then you won't need to keep it. For example, a weapon like Staff of Banishing or Bow of Freezing is an ordinary weapon with an enchantment, which you can find again (or even make yourself by disenchanting them). A weapon like Blade of Woe or Kahvozein's Fang are unique, as you won't find another with a name like that or with its appearance. If the weapon is not named after its enchantment somehow, then it is not unique. Same with armour.
I think, in some cases, unique weapons will not allow you to disenchant them. If you try out some you're not sure of at an enchanting table and they can be disenchanted, likely they are not unique weapons. Save first though, or look them up, as this may not always be the case. I may just be guessing here.
Of course, you don't need to get rid of anything.
As for making money, since I'm now sitting comfortably on my 80k wealth (not including all of my hoardings), I find it a little odd people are struggling for money. Don't just grab anything to sell from dungeons - grab what you see is worth at least 100 Septims (usually potions are excellent here, most being from around the 200-500 range), and sell those to your preferred vendor. The lockpicking skill also has a perk that significantly increases the amount of money you can find in chests (from 100 to something more like 300 usually), and of course Speech can increase the amount of money you can haggle items for. When I first began, I never bought anything, as you can find anything on offer usually in the world, and any enchanted items are more powerful the higher your level is (as well as the items you can find and sell, making more money). Also, joining factions can offer you small jobs for a bit of cash (I know that the Thieves Guild offers more money for the more jobs you do, going from 200 to somewhere around 600). And of course, if you're inclined to break a few rules, stealing and selling to fences, as well as grabbing any coins you find and pickpocketing can quickly get you up there. For more honest labour, creating your own weapons, armour, jewelry, potions and enchanted items is another way to go.
Yep, that'll do it for you.
