Got my first horse last night, before this, I had managed to nick one whilst free roaming - found a small logging camp and the two guys there weren't looking!
Read somewhere, that it's a good idea to have several armor builds, then put them into the horse's paddle bags - then you can change into some finery, before entering a town to sell things. It's the level of detail like this, that still keeps blowing me away - I am forever moaning to myself, about how a 2k piece of armor is only netting me 600-700, yet I'm standing in the shop wearing muddy, blood covered plat armor
I found a pretty decent set of kit, up the road from the place you can buy a horse (Neuhof I think) - there was a camp with an unlocked check - full on set of fancy plate armor, just no trousers. It's serving me well, but blunt weapons really mess you up!
Hoping to put together a decent light armor set next, as I wouldn't mind doing some more sneaky thieving action - I unlocked the dagger kill, so another thing for those random lonely travelers to watch out for on the road
But I still love just roaming around - done some of the treasure/ancient maps last night too; that was fun as the areas on the maps are often overgrown and not so easy to spot - a really nice touch, considering they could have been written many years ago.
Getting withdrawal symptoms when I'm not playing this - not sure the Wife is too happy that I spend so much time on it too - TV hogging!!!
