IMO, the entire concept of money being dropped by monsters could be dropped since it doesn't have a lot of effect on your actual bank account anyway, and lets face it there's no logical reason why that wolf was carrying 12 gold. Humanoid enemies sure, wolves though?
I'm one of those who always wants to buy the best equipment he can early on, and that usually leaves me totally broke until ~level 20, and then I start being pretty even until 30, then I start owning a significant portion of the world's wealth.
To be fair, a LOT of games have this same problem, and they solve it in various ways. Bethesda games don't have any problem with the player owning a significant amount of the world's wealth at the end and having to grind hard for any cash at the beginning. They partially solve the money issue at the end by introducing a "money pit" mechanic like owning your own house that you can literally pour near-endless amounts of cash into.
Oh, and want to have a character who always has money problems? Do like my most recent character. I decided that I wanted to ally fully with Feygard, and thus, since my Lord commands it, I shall not use Bonemeal Potions. I do my best to hunt up all of the raw meat that I consume, but I know that when I get to stages like the green maze I'm going to have to buy major health potions, and that's going to completely break the bank for even a small amount.
