Thanks for the summary rp.

Think I'll wait for it. I enjoyed Fable 2 but might save my points for the Fallout 3 DLC.

Anyone else bought the DLC?

keogh · 15 Jan 2009 at 20:56

I have, completed pretty much everything in it within a few hours. I love f2 so there was no doubt I was buying it, but it's very short. 3 quests in 3 average size shrines, and a few extra things to do. The new outfits are the best part of it, evil or good they are cool. New weapons r quite weak thou, but nout beats the daichi thou!

You would have thought the DLC would enable the collector achievement too. Seems a bit silly having to buy an Arcade game to complete a full game.

Short extra content and the Love Hurts quest bug hasn't been fixed

have enjoyed this game but Lionhead have once again cashed in with an add-on when that time could/should have been spent fixing the game. I've had the same thing with Black & White 1&2 and The Movies, I admire the imagination but I don't know that I'll be buying their next game (whatever that might be!!).

Love Hurts... was that the ghost mission? What bug?

No, it's the Lady Grey mission, I can't give the last quest piece to the person who wants it (he ran off and now just stands there and I can't interact with him at all). I've tried restarting the entire mission only to have the same thing happen

keogh · 16 Jan 2009 at 20:29

oh right, I had no probs with that... the last part is the head isn't it? When you get in the mansion is he in the cellar? He shouts and says I'm in the cellar, come down. Then I went down and all was dandy.

ricky1981 · 16 Jan 2009 at 20:31

I went down and he ran off to the graveyard

first time round the door closed after him so I was locked in the basement!

keogh · 16 Jan 2009 at 20:33

Hmm that is most defintely a bug then, strange I never got it?

I did have a bug with the son rescue mission, once I left hobbes cave he didnt follow and I couldnt go back in the cave to get him and I had to restart... was fine second time round though.

Finished this earlier. The verdict? Meh !

da_mic_1530 · 27 Jan 2009 at 09:41

alrighty then

If I get on the boat, how long game wise do I have left?

I can't really remember but if you rush it you could probably be done with the main quest in around 4 hours. Could be wrong though.

I just realised I still have this. Will probably sell it as it was 'meh'!

Might log in one last time to see how much money I have made the whole time I haven't been playing

da_mic_1530 · 27 Jan 2009 at 10:56

I started out playing this as "wow" now I'm firmly in the "meh" camp, I'm not doing side quests, imo completely pointless. I'll just finish the main storyline and chuck it back on the MM

Question! Is there a way to switch between my ranged weapons? I want to use one gun for ranged, and then switch to the blunderbuss when they get closer. Is this possible without jumping into the menus?

Menus only. I use magic for the ranged attacks instead. Having said that it doesn't matter much, I have played the game for yonks and never died, combat is so easy you do not even need the guns!.

Thanks matey, there doesn't seem to be much to the combat, I just spam magic and melee attacks until everything is dead.

I think I'm burning through the game very quickly as well, even though I've been doing sidequests and jobs I'm already at what sounds like a point of no return, going to the Spire.

Near the end, but there is loads of sidequests to do, and the DLC

I think Fable 2 so far is awesome! A really nicely put together game. I've spent most of the time just messing about lol, haven't done many of the quests yet.

EDIT - Just seen that Knothole Island is free, is this just another island that has more quests etc? Also, am I right in thinking that this has the 'thin' potion?

It took me ages the other day to keep buying celery!

Knothole Island is 800 points BUT there is a free download that will let you get some items for free from the island (including the thin potion

) and you can play the DLC in co-op with someone who has PAID for the DLC. (So the download has all the graphics etc for Knothole Island, but you have to pay to play it as yourself in single player (if you see what I mean)).
