hmm I've come to the conclusion that nothing can stop you if you have raise undead, that time slowing thing and level 5 lightning thing...

Meh. In reality, nothing can stop you if all you do is wave your level 1 sword around.

I hope they release Fable 2: The lost chapters with extra

Looks like BB has this on sale this coming weekend for $29.99. I guess they are dropping the price since the market is going to be flooded with used ones from the new Elite bundles.

$29.99 will be hard for me to pass up. I've held off on this game and Fallout 3, due to having too many games to play, and it looks like I'll finally be pulling the trigger on Fable II this weekend.

I had been borrowing my copy from a friend and will be returning it before the new DLC comes out.

Perfect timing on the $30 price point. Hopefully, Amazon matches.

Looks like Amazon price matched this

I wish this game let you turn off auto save or let you save multiple files. I hate not being able to try something out without having to worry the game might auto save.

I will download this and the previous content for sure now. I have to finish the game.

So I married a prostitute...mainly because she was scantily dressed...then put a bun in her oven and produced a devil child. Then I discovered she was still street walking and giving me her earnings! Even though she's turning tricks every night she still has the nerve to bitch me out when I try to sleep with other women. Anyways I'm off try and be every prostitute's pimp.

OK, so I just rented this and I figured I'd check out the DLC before I start playing. There are two DL's, Knothole Island & See The Future. Listed on the Marketplace page are two versions of each, a 'premium' and a 'free' version. What's the difference? Are these add-ons any good/are they worth it? I plan on having the game for about 10-15 days, do I need the DLC?

To play the expansion DLC by yourself, you'll have to pay for it. The Free version is only if you want to play it as a sidekick in somebody else's game in co-op. You don't need the DLC. It's a pretty good stand alone game (if kinda short and short on story for an RPG). Either way, you can finish the game before picking up the DLC.

I can't get any respond from my son after finish the Spire quest. I have no problem with my wife but everytime I tried to interact my kid he just stand there doing nothing. I know this a glitch but would I able to finish the game? Or I'm screwed?

Your family isn't crucial to the main quests at all - although .

So I just finally was able to get this through Gamefly. I popped it in and figured I would play for a couple of hours and the next thing I knew it was like 2am and I had barely even scratched the surface of the main story. I have a feeling that I could be playing this game for months. Does anyone know if you do the "Keep It" option through Gamefly if they send the case and manual? 34.99 isn't too bad for a game that I could get quite a bit of play out it.

Yes, if you keep it from GF they mail you the case and manual. I have done that several times for games and everything always arrived in perfect condition.

Why would you keep the used copy when you can get a brand new copy shipped from Amazon for $30?

I thought that too with Fable, but it did eventually end. Then I started Oblivion and that shit has ruined my liufe. I dream about it at night.

Finished the main quest over the weekend, then downloaded Knothole Island and See the Future and just finished those up today (both are short but good, with some neat new costumes). Now I'm just achievement-whoring, which is actually kinda fun.

Finally grabbed this game from my stockpile.

Any general tips, hints, advice for a newcomer?

Specific questions:
1. Looks like you only get 1 save game slot. Any way around this (like save to a memory card) so I can have multiple saves or run a good and evil char at same time (or at least try out the two different themes without consequence)?

2. Money easy to come by as you progress?

3. Do I need to worry about where to spend my skill points or are you able to pretty much max out most skill trees by end game? (skill trees = the will magics, melee, and skill lines)

Thanks

It'll wear off. Quickly. Don't buy it.

1. You can make multiple saves, even though it doesn't look that way. It will ask you which character you want to play when you go to load a game.

2. Buy property. Any that you can afford. It takes a little while, but the income starts rolling in and building up quickly. Use that to buy even more property, and you'll be very wealthy before you know it.

3. It depends on how you play the game. I had every skill maxed out by the end of the game, but I took my time, finished every sidequest, and explored a lot. If you run through the main story with no sidequests and no exploring, you'll be far from maxing out your skills by the end.

As you collect gold reinvest all of it in buying up all the property in Bowerstone Market. As the gold starts flowing in from those properties, stop buying property and start spending it all on 4 and 5 star experience potions from the potion shop (you'll get a discount since you own the shop). With this strategy you'll max out all the skill trees well before the end of the game. Although I did do a lot of side quests, I wasn't even halfway through the game when my skills were maxed out. After you've maxed the skills start buying up property in other towns. Trust me, you will never want for gold in this game as long as you own property. The game bases your earnings on the system clock, meaning you earn income even when you're not playing. By the time you own most of the property in the game you'll be bringing in, if I recall, around 200-300k a day (assuming you don't raise/lower rents).

Just picked this game up. I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm only at the part where Garth first gets kidnapped from the tower in Brightwood. I spent a lot of time maxing out my blacksmith skills and buying up property. I now own most of Market Square (minus the blacksmith, bar, and furniture store) and another house in Old Town where I live with the wife.

My problem is I can't have sex with any women in this game. I've only gotten it to work once. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I make sure the woman in question likes me, and then I get her to follow me to the bed. But when I hit 'a' at the bed, I just get the option to sleep - even if the woman is still following me. I've tried it with my wife and other girls around town but it never seems to work. Even if the proposition for a 'good time' and I do the thumbs up expression.

It only acivated properly once with my first wife (who I later lured out into a forest and murdered).

I am about to start this game and wondered about the DLC. I bought one of them when it was on sale in June and was going to go ahead and buy the other. Is it like Fallout 3 where the DLC just shows up on you map and is integrated into the game? Or is it completely separate and better to finish the game first and then you access the DLC at that point?
