Sneak + dual wield + equipment bonuses = everything dies.
And yes, playing with the console can be very, VERY fun. I'm still waiting for the Creation Kit to be released so I can change NPCs' clothes. (NOT nude mod, ya pervs)
But speaking of hot....

What is the biggest money maker for you guys? I habitually explore, load up, then return home. I then separate out what i need and sell the rest. It takes too much time with all the different crap i pick up so im looking for a way to get big gold in a short time.
My biggest money makers are killing dragons and selling the bones and scales, doing the Dark Brotherhood quests, and breaking into pawn, jewelry, and weapon shops, stealing everything, and then unloading on fences. The Thieves Guild missions also have good payouts. I haven't paid for any of my current equipment and am sitting on stockpiles of gold, weapons, and jewelry.
I've just been killing dragons, going on quests and raiding ruins, and then selling it all. I really haven't bought anything yet though.
Payed my first 8hrs and I'm hooked! 
Tip #1: Always save! I died 3-5x just trying to go to Windhelm to join the rebels and it was't funny at all!

Thalmor elven armor and caster robes, I take out every escort party I come across, Dragon Bones and believe it or not the all the poison I find. I'm always shocked at how much I get for selling them. Another good trick is to hunt anything that drops a pelt. Then make leather and strips. Craft helmets, up grade em and sell em. You'll be going up in your weapon of choice, smithing and speechcraft and a rapid rate.
For us PC Skyrim addicts...

I personally can't wait for it to come out. The Oblivion mod community did some incredible mods and additions (ex: new missions that could span anywhere from 5 minutes to a day!) and with as much extra goodies Bethesda gave Skyrim I get the feeling that the mod community is going to deliver beyond Bethesda's wildest expectations.

Topspin said:No-lifed my way to 100 smithing... this game is ridiculously awesome. Another two dragons and I'll FINALLY have a full set of dragon scale armor.
Iron Dagger way?
Leather helmets for me The animals are a renewable resource that run around everywhere. Made 80 something smithing last night off of bears, wolves and elk/deer. I crafted a full set of legendary glass armor and a glass bow this week end and holy crap can I kill things fast.
SO close to 100 archery!! 6 more points . . . 88 sneak too I made level 33 last night and have yet to see the Greybeards.
Work is getting in the way of my game . . .sleep too

I killed a kindergarten teacher (actually an evil headmistress for an orphanage in riften), and now the kindergarteners are fighting back by sending me finger paintings saying they know. Is it bad if I slaughter children?
Man, you don't know how many innocent people I mowed down in the dark to try to get the Dark Brotherhood to contact me, only to have that stupid quest (which I resisted doing) be the way in.
Well that's one way to look at it
You should take a nap 
The DB quests in this one are harder than the ones in Oblivion, btw. I'd recommend doing enough Thieves Guild quests and getting high in stealth so you can buy off guards.
Oh, and you can't kill kids. Yet. The Creation Kit will be out "by the end of January."
