May be a bug, may be the way it's intended to work but here is my feedback on the "Headless Nick" quest.

In the beginning of the game I tried talking to the head and forget what it said but it would not let me talk to it afterward. (could not steal it either)

Fast forward to getting the quest in the Black Cove, when I tried talking to the head again:


The performer called the guards and had to kill him and the 4 or 5 guards, then I could talk to the head and decide to take it or not.

Which seems a bit much to have to do when you are trying not to kill townsfolk laugh (unless you really wanted too) but I can see how stealing the head may not work since dialog needs to happen before hand. Maybe trigger dialog when successful theft occurs?


I pledged and all I got was this lousy awesome game!

As mentioned in other threads, the only way I'm aware of to finish this quest without a massacre is to first successfully complete the "Warming the Crowd" quest (or whatever they call the quest involving the paid-off audience member). You can then talk to the head without anyone around.

Actually had the guy working for the other performer beforehand, but that quest was still open in my journal. Not sure if it didn't flag it as complete or there was something else I needed to do afterwards.

Hm, maybe you need to talk to both performers afterwards to close the quest, and then it would work? Having always completed the performer quest first, I never had this problem myself, so I'm afraid I'm just guessing now.

Yup, was a dialog I needed to click on the performer with the head.

Cool, glad it's fixed.
