How does the economy of Lumbermills not utterly collapse the overall coinage lvl of Skyrim, and eventually Skyrim itself?
I'll illuminate....
Enter world at start of game. Procede to Riverwood, and chop wood for 12 hrs per day for two days. This allows sensible real world breaks for eating, plus an evening's drinking at the Giant, and a good night's sleep.
You make approx 5000 gold by doing this. Now procede to Whiterun and soon buy a nice little house in a good location.
Now lets scale up to today's real world. That house is consevatively going to cost £100,000...so chopping wood pays
£50,000 per day! Therefore, why isn't
eveyone a lumberjack? And who on earth does the mill owner get to pay them the several £100,000 + per day for wood.? But if eveyone sensibly opts to become a lumberjack, then everyone becomes a millionaire in under a month! And of course, then the whole economy completely collapses, as it's not profitable to be anything BUT a lumberjack....[see Douglas Adams- The Shoe Event Horizon]....
