I *think* since you're technically trespassing, your Evil might go up, but I don't recall any actual negative thing happening directly related to sleeping in another bed.

Yep, the dog elixir never runs out.
Yea the Balvarine's can get pretty hectic. Try to keep them at bay with your magic and gun.

I was able to make it until the Balvarine's without using any magic. Of course, once I did: I realized just how crappy the spell usage and set-up is!
Is a gun/rifle a quicker reload than a crossbow?

Re: Fable II
Yea, the spell system can be a lil annoying, especially in the heat of battle.
Typically, the pistols have the shortest reload time, with the crossbow in the middle and the rifle last with the longest reload time

Re: Fable II
New DLC details released. Taken from consolemonster.com
I skipped out on Knothole Island, but this one sounds interesting. May pick this one up, depending on my mood when it releases 
We knew it was coming, but Microsoft has today revealed brand spanking new details regarding the new Fable II downloadable content.
The content, known as “See the Future” gives players the chance to heed the call for a hero to restore colour and balance to the world, or let Albion fall to the wayside. Those who emerge victorious will receive the ultimate reward: a quest that provides a vision of Albion’s future and what lies ahead for those born into the heroic bloodline. The new quests in “See the Future” will bring players face-to-face with new characters, creatures, events and legendary artefacts, including:
* Murgo: Having first met him during the childhood sequence of “Fable II,” Murgo returns to Bowerstone Market to bring an amazing array of new wares, including potions that can transform canine companions into new breeds.
* The Ghosts of the Snowglobe Quest: Holding a disturbing secret, the small model village inside it was once a real town in Albion. The people who once inhabited it are now ghosts condemned to endless torment until the shadowy threat that cursed them is defeated.
* The Cursed Knight Quest: Forever banished to a land beyond the dead, the Cursed Knight awaits a hero who has the strength and will to dress up in convincing costumes, even imitating a hobbe or balverine, to save him from his fate.
* The Colosseum: The Colosseum puts even the Crucible to shame. Only the greatest heroes have triumphed here. Players’ abilities will be put to the test to prove themselves in combat once and for all, to win the ultimate in prizes.
Knothole Island finally released this year after a few delays.
As with Knothole Island, See the Future will offer free unique items including Welley’s soldier helmet, a braided ponytail, pshyco Jester make-up, a new hero expression, the back flip trick for the dog, a collectible Murgo the Trader statue and more.

I'm currently borrowing the game from a friend of mine, but I like it so much I want my own copy (not only to play through again on the other end of the morality spectrum, but for the new DLC next month).
Even though I've been using the standard edition, can I get the CE and still retain my save file? The CE disc looks to include additional content, so I don't think it's the "same one" as the standard (which brought on the question). The one or two other CEs I've seen have the same first disc, with all the extras on another.

Re: Fable II
Yea, you can get the CE and still retain your save file. The CE contains the exact same disc as the standard edition. The extra disc contains a "making of" movie (which I never even watched ) and the "extra content" isn't even on the disc, its downloaded from Live with a code inside the case. Unless your a Halo (the main extra content is a Halo suit) or Fable fanatic, stick with the standard edition.

I figured the content would be available at some point on the Xbox Live Marketplace, but the extra dungeon was the only thing that peaked my interest.
(I also just finished playing through the original Fable again in preparation for Fable II.)

Hmmm. I didn't know the extra content was via a code (other than the Halo stuff). The used copies I'm finding for cheap likely will have used the code already.
Alright, standard edition it is. Thanks

I finished the main quest last night:
Then I went on the Rescuing Charlie quest. I'm fighting off the bad guys and am just about out. I turn around and see something outlined in red, can't really make it out. But, it's outlined in red, so I shoot at it. It's Charlie! I certainly didn't intend that, nor did I even know I had turned off the safety.
And that's one thing I don't like about this game: it's far too easy to do something you don't intend to. Another example, I've cast spells in the middle of town because I've hit the "Back" button one too many times.

Re: Fable II
I mentioned that ages ago in this thread. How did they not realize during testing that everyone is going to accidently cast spells and freak out the villagers all the time? Just bad design, there.

Re: Fable II
I just finished the main quest. The ending to it is the problem with the entire game- the storytelling sucks. Whatever, it's a Molyneux game, I should have expected it.

Re: Fable II
I just started playing this game yesterday. So far it seems okay. I should probably read the manual but how the hell do you get that little command box in the bottom left hand corner to popup? It seems to come and go whenever it wants.

Got my first copy of the Official Xbox magazine yesterday and Fable 2 was the first one they talked about in their "bad endings" section.

If it's not there, you don't really need it at that point.
