yep, I actually didn't always go on killing sprees for my money, sometimes i'd just assasinate the Oakvale general store owner, buy the shop, then use the steal expression to make clones of diamonds which I then sold to him... then I would use my high guile to buy all the 250 perfumes at a low low price, then sell them all back for more then I bought them. Rinse and repeat until i'm rich and hes poor, or until 6 hours of doing this and 3 billion gold convinces me he will never run out of money.
Sometimes i'd go on hitting sprees, instead of killing people i'd hit them with my guys fist, then if the guards came over to arrest me i'd use the apologize expression, clears all fines but murder and aggravated assault.
