I'm sure many of you have seen the headless horseman ghost riding about? Is there a quest related to him or anything? I try to follow him but can't keep up and he doesn't speak.

I shot some arrows at him, but nothing happened. It was weird.

I saw him in my very first game, right at the start, when i was heading for whiterun. Chased after him for ages but gave up in the end. Never seen him since

Had a bit of a run in with the giants yesterday

I take it you got a katana from a mod and they're not in the game?

Katanas are in the game

Yeah, I've got two of them. Dragonbane and The Ebony Blade.

Aren't the Blades' swords all katana-ish? If so, there's about a dozen or so in their dormitory area - I've used one as my main crafted and enchanted weapon all the way through

I've seen him loads - what the hell is it for? I thought I'd some how done what ever it was supposed to be when I followed him and he stopped at some burial ground and I killed some living dead types and horseman vanished. But then the other day he galloped through the Labyrinthe area. No idea.

He's meant to be a nod to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and you seem to have seen and done what he's in the game for.

I ain't never seen me no Sleepy Hollow. Bit of a crappy quest - there didn't seem to be an ending and he's still around!

Sounds like a Easter Egg type thing innit.

Killed me a giant*. At level 4. 8-)

*After using a rocky outcrop to mess with its path finding and getting squished about ten times.

I've been out of touch with gaming for a while but got this a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Probably the best gaming I've had since Half Life: Episode 2* (both completely different I know). I'm 40+ hours in now and it's starting to take over my life. Sexual.

*Any news on episode 3?

Had a bit of an all-nighter with this last night. First proper go since before Christmas.

I probably made a mistake waiting 45 hours before visiting another town besides Whiterun and really cracking on with the main quest, but I've got back into it I think and am just going to focus on getting quests done and get it complete. Think I've had my fill of mindless exploring and wandering.

Why oh why didn't I spot the Quiet Casting perk in my first playthrough :fp:

Is it possible to get sneak attacks with Destruction spells? Otherwise I'm not sure I really see the point, as the only spell you could want to cast ahead of a fight would be some kind of x-flesh Alteration spell.

Silent detect life would be helpful for thieving as they hear it when close by

Just about to try it on a giant...

...shot firebolt and ice spike at giant. Failed to fully detect me (the eye is barely open). So yeah, you can go undetected but it's still a good idea to have decent sneak level too (otherwise they won't detect the spell being fired but they will hear you moving about).

So....yeah got Lydia killed :fp:

Do you get 'given' other companions through the game at all? Or just people you befriend and randomly ask to follow you around?

You get a housecarl for every house you buy.
