Unlimited Gold (Glitch):
Go to the Talos Plaza District of the Imperial City. Find a house owned by a men named Dorian (Dorian's House) in the southeast section of the district. Break into his house and find him. When he tells you to leave, kill him. To loot him, do not press X to take all. Instead, take each item individually, finishing with the gold, which will not run out once it hits 8 pieces. Just keep selecting the gold he is carrying and keep pressing A as usual. Do this repeatedly, and the number of gold pieces remaining will freeze when it gets down to 8 gold pieces. It will not go any lower, but will just keep giving you as much gold as desired.

Improved gold glitch:

The gold glitch cheat is currently on here but it is possible to improve on this. You don't need to break in if you enter Dorians house in the day. He will still tell you that he doesn't need any more friends. Use Persuade and bribe him up as high as you can and then kill him. Then loot him item by item saving the gold till last where you will get anywhere from 110 -200 gold at a time for as long as you continue pressing A rather than 8 gold at a time. Giving him gold before you kill him makes it much easier to acumulate a large amount of gold quickly.

Useful advice:

This isn't so much a cheat or clue, but just some useful advice. If you are just starting this game out, or having some real problems, your best bet is, after you get out of the Imperial Sewers, is to not look at the Main Quest at all. You should attempt/try to beat all of the Mages, Fighters, Thieves Guilds, Dark Brotherhood Missions, and Arena Missions. Doing this would bump your level up from 3 to 30, depending on how you work at it. Also adding in Daedric, Master Trainer, Miscellaneous, Freeform Quests would surely bump you up a ton of levels. This would leave you left with only the Main Quest, which you could breeze by. I only did a few Freeform and Miscellaneous Quests, and I did all of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Missions, and I was equipped with a way higher level than the first time around, new enchanted/unenchanted weaponry, jewelry, and clothing, and also allowed me to explore many new places that I could fast travel to when it came to that in the Main Quest.

Duplicating Items:

1. Take your bow and pull an arrow back.
2. Press B while holding your arrow back.
3. Press another set of arrows until it says you cannot switch arrows.
4. Pick an item: ex. apple
5. drop the item.
(supplied by: LastRequest) Money (Starting Out):
First of all I use the duplication item glitch as well as the "kill Dorian" money glitch to get a head start on the game. After that, I'm glitch free. You will need about 500'000 to 750'000 gold and you're pretty much set.

For the Dorian money glitch (pre-patch) you basically do this:

In the Talos district of the Imperial City is the house of a man named Dorian. Enter the house and kill Dorian. When looting his body, highlight his gold and press A and keep on pressing. His gold will never run out, giving you access to infinite funds. You must do this all at that one time since his house will reset after three days and your money source will disappear.
