  1. Warren White: Well, Tomatos are a bit too common for the climate in Skyrim, and considering that goods like vegetables are still hauled across the world by sailing ships, Tomatos would be kind of expensive in a country like Skyrim since they spoil fast and couldn't realistically grow in Skyrim.

  2. The economy in Skyrim would be completely fucked seeing as how you can literally MAKE gold through magic spells like transmute.

  3.  What Ev  Uh yes, organically grown tomatoes spoil very fast actually. The pesticide and preservatice infused stuff you buy at the grocery store is not the same as the tomatoes grown in ancient and medieval times.

  4.  What Ev  It's a perfectly acceptable term for plebs like you. But if you want to be a nitpicky bitch, I could extrapolate to late iron age, early middle ages, late middle ages and so on. What I said still apply: Tomatoes then spoiled faster than they do today, because they weren't laced with pesticides or preservatives.

  5.  What Ev  It's in the middle of the end of the ancient period and the renaissance.

  7.  What Ev  There is no argument to be had. You're just plain wrong, buttercup. And i'm not even going to bother asking you what gobbledygook opinions you have in defining this historical period. Because frankly, your perspective is as uninformed as it is uninteresting. :)

  8. Sheait: I buy iron ore cheap. I transmute the iron ore into gold ore and make gold ingots at the cost of nothing. I sell the gold ingots for a profit. See how this would make a real world economy go bust yet? Also, the gold goins in Skyrim are supposedly made of gold. In feudal systems they usually made coins of noble metals in order to give the coins themselves an intrinsic value. They didn't have things like gold standarda or fiat currency backed up by some kind of equity. And as far as I know, the world of Skyrim doesn't either. So we assume they make the gold coins out of gold to give them intrinsic value by being made of a precious noble metal. Yet the value of such metals would plummet where any idiot with a magic spell can simply make gold out of less valuable iron ore.
