325 hours on three characters in Skyrim and I just now ran into the Headless Horseman. And he surprised the heck out of me because I diid not know he was in the game.
He is harder to meet than M'aiq the Liar.
Anyone else experience this Easter Egg?

Over 20 toons all told (12 active) - I have NO IDEA how many hours but I would estimate (low....) at 1000.... nope, never seen him.

I've seen him a few times now. I never fast travel. That's probably why.

I first saw him near his home. He was riding back home northward furiousy fast to get back before the sunrise. I saw him again way down south in Falkreath riding towards Riften. And I saw him way out west on the road along the river near Markarth.

:cool:

Not in like 600 hours over 2 characters.

Damn you, Fast Travel. :lol:

Thing is, I DON'T fast travel on some toons. I have a "stable" of toons who just wander/explore. Never seen him on any of them either.

I stopped fast traveling on my characters and i have NEVER seen him over like 20 characters!

Never seen M'aiq or the Headless Horseman. came across a book that talks abou the Horseman, though.

Nitron, I bet I run across M'aiq a dozen times in every game session. I've heard every one-liner from him already - a LOT of times. I just ignore him now....

Oh, not to mention Talsgar the Wanderer. MAN, that guy gets around!

Heh. Ran into him south of Falkreath. I thought it funny.

Him I've seen a few times on both characters...even with all the Fast Traveling I do.

Heh. Ran into him south of Falkreath. I thought it funny.

I may have to mill around there at night every now and then. "Shor's bones. A handsome ghost about Falkreath.". :lol:

Talsgar I have seen several times. But never M'aiq.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:17 am

Saw him on the road east of Whiterun heading North.

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 8:21 pm

I have found him twice. Once right outside of Dragonsbridge, once right outside of Morthal. Both times at night,

Follow him... It's trap.

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:49 pm

I ran in to him on both my toons. One near Morthal on the road to Labrynthian, and One near Markath. And I'm pretty sure I saw him on the Nord toon I gave up on around level 20ish near Rorikstead.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 3:20 am

I only just saw him last night and I have had the game since november 28th.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:08 am

I've seen him a few times; twice north of Dragon's Bridge on the road near Meridia's Temple, and once on the road near Karthwasten. I have yet to follow him. I've always been in the middle of something and if I don't force myself to stick with whatever it is, I'll never get it done.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:43 am

I've seen the Horseman three times, all of them on the road between Whiterun and Rorikstead.

I used to run into Talsgar so often I'd say "Gods not him again." Haven't seen him since I finished the War, though.

I was just up around Shadowgreen Cavern at night, looking for Pincushion Pete, and he came loping by so I followed him.
Luckily I was on Shadowmere as I usually leave him and set off on foot.

I rode in his vapor trail all the way from the Cavern, taking the roads kind of roundabout, and it was daylight all the way from East Empire Trading on, to Hamvir's Rest.....he lured me into the open entrance full of skeletons and vanished.

Is this maybe the benevolent wizard who got his head chopped off by the woodcutter's wife?

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:04 am

Theres a few ghosts around skyrim that dont really talk or do anything than lead you to a location like a grave or somthing with loot in it. Yeah teh horseman lead me to Hamvir's Rest once, but another time he was just riding around randomly.

About people not finding things like this. The best way is to just walk along roads for a bit and you get alot of random encounters and stuff happening that you dont normally get.

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 8:25 pm

Yep, seen him. Ran in M'aiq at least 3 times, too.
I fast travel ~~a fair bit~~ almost everywhere I can. I think that may make it MORE likely you'll run into them, because their location resets randomly more often.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:13 am

I've encountered the headless horseman like two or three times, myself.
