I wonder if there were scams back then… oh yea, there were. All kinds of scams, from Miracle All-Cures to rigging a fistfight match.

Since you CAN play as the worlds ā€œvillainā€, I’d like to see some form of ā€œvillain of the shadowsā€. No, I’m not talking about playing a stealthy thief, I’m saying you can be the Con Artist. Stealing stuff in the night, amateur stuff… Convincing people to give you all their belongs LEGALLY (or semi-legally) is the pro stuff right there. However, the art of making (let along, inventing) contracts back then will probably never happen in-game…

I would especially on ā€œdarkā€ elements in the game are happy (pocketing, burglaries, stolen goods, etc.) may, one could indeed work in a highly thieves guild.

What about casual employment for blacksmiths/lumberjacks/Fletchers/Farmers/bar-tending etc (similar to what was done in Fable II). As the son of a blacksmith it would make sense to be able to use the skills presumably learned by your father to make some money. I agree with @Ser_Awesome that money should not be easily earned and so these jobs should not pay particularly well (historically I doubt that such jobs would bring much wealth anyway unless you owned the business/land) but perhaps they should act as a starting point.

I completely agree with this, 100%. I hate games where that happens, and on top of that its really bad where the game is super fun and all the things that you can do to get money are super fun but they give to much money, so you get rich to quickly and then you have to limit your enjoyment or use of those fun activities, which really sucks.

Less typical ways of getting coin like farming, fishing, or collecting vegetables for farmers and ore rocks for blacksmiths could be nice and immersive. Elder scrolls 5 had that (But who ever did that in TES 5).
