Haha - I've never played Skyrim, but have played so much Morrowind (the third Elder Scrolls game, if you don't know it - Skyrim being the fifth) and there alchemy was a really easy way to get infinite money. I always laughed seeing walkthroughs go "go to X place to pick up Y expensive artifact to make money!" because why even bother when you can make as much money as you could ever need in town? Glad to see they haven't changed that. ;)
Mind, it was also a really easy to way to be completely invulnerable: homemade potions weighed next to nothing, stacked, and took no time to drink, so it was easy to take a pack of 100 restore health potions with you and be utterly unkillable provided no one managed to kill you in one hit, and that was before getting into the exploit that let you make super-powerful potions. I assume they have changed that!
