Well, ****... The Headless Horseman sounds extremely fast! I wonder if the guy ever tries to attack you? Lol or just goes on speeding like there's no tomorrow?

Interesting... Which class do you like best ouf of the 3?

@Moco: LOL! Nice picture & response to iron_jones..

You were drinking a potent health potion. It's relevant.

He sure is Fortunately I had my trusty Shadowmere.

I followed him today and he pulls up at Hamvir's Rest and then just sits there though. Don't know if he's part of a quest but still pretty awesome I guess

My main is a Nord. He's a tank, heavily armed and armoured and pretty much invincible now :p

I also have an Imperial who is my sneaker cut throat type complete with Forsworn stag headdress

That's a shame, he should be at least some kinda boss or tough enemy to face later on.

Sounds like everybody's a Nord now! Why are they so popular if I may ask?

Assassins FTW! Lol

He doesn't attack, just rides around, and if you follow hi, there's some treasure at the end.

I really like the suggestion that he's Ragnar The Red though
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Headless_Horseman
The Horseman could also possibly be the spirit of Ragnar, as lyrics in the song "Ragnar the Red" that bards sing say "Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead" and "When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor", referring to Ragnar's decapitation.
Hamvir's Rest is located North of Whiterun, where Ragnar was buried. This is another possible hint that the Horseman's true identity is Ragnar.
The Horseman is seen many times near Rorikstead traveling the direction to Whiterun, strongly indicating his true identity may be Ragnar.

Because they have the best looking models with a bit of customisation, plus, you get to play a viking

My main character is a Nord, with the Stormcloaks

I've played a couple of other characters, like a mage Argonian (my main char uses two-handed weapons and heavy armour with maxed smithing and enchanting).

Hmmm Shadowmere seems to be faster than average horses, plus Shadowmere doesn't loose health.

As for me, next time I'll wait for him as a werewolf and sprint up to him. My main character is faster as a werewolf than as a Nord riding a horse.

Maybe the Headless Horseman might get a debut in an expansion? I hope so.

Nice touch giving an imperial a forsworn headdress!

Hmmm I don't know about the "best" since whatever race you pick can depend on your playing style and what occupation you want to be. Though I'd say I liked the Khajiit because you can use night eye to see in the dark and they are naturally stealthy. Though since this game is in Skyrim, I had to use a Nord.

Hmm maybe you fell off a cliff or something.
Seems like they changed Shadowmere from oblivion..

Quote:
Unlike the Shadowmere present in Oblivion, this version of Shadowmere is not Essential and can die. However, 15-20 days later, Shadowmere will respawn at the location of death.

I see now..

@Human No More: Fascinating description... Lol Sounds like I need to get a Nord character then! Btw, what's a Stormcloak?

@Pa'li Makto: That makes sense... Almost like the guy from Assassin's Creed. Lol

Jeez, Nords are everywhere! I guess I'll have to try this game out then. Haha

Hehe thanks I'd like to see some sort of story for the headless horseman, even if it is in an expansion pack. I'm not sure if he has a set route or if he spawns at random so I don't know if you'd have a hard time finding him

Apparently if you take a 'philter of the phantom' potion and then try to talk to him he talks back but I don't know if this is true.

The Stormcloaks are the private army of the Jarl of one of the cities Ulfric Stormcloak. They're a bunch of slightly racist but super cool nords who want to overthrow Imperial rule and bring back the worship of Talos which has been outlawed.

I guess it makes sense to play as a Nord in the Nord iteration of the game Plus they look like William Wallace :p

The Stormcloaks are one of the two armies in the civil war, led by Ulfric Stormcloak, the most epic individual in the entire game after the Dovahkiin him/herself. They want to kick the Empire out of Skyrim for being a puppet for the Thalmor. The other faction is the Legion, who are romans rather than vikings, and want to keep their puppet leader in control of Skyrim - many in the Legion also dislike the Thalmor, but the empire is ruled by, so obviously they will not take action against them. Which side you choose has relatively little difference other than which cities you're fighting over and which wins in the end - opinion is very evenly split as to which are better, but I say Stormcloaks for life
