Other than that, the only other glitch seems to be my son "Alex" is black when both me and my wife are white...
She cheated on you with Garth. Kill the ***** and your bastard son.
Is Garth the only black guy in Albion? Thinking back other than the shadows and stuff I can't seem to remember there being any other black guys in that game? Also Garth sounds a whole lot like Shepperd Book from Firefly...
Nah, there's more than Garth. The blacksmith in Bowerstone Market is black in my game at least. I just said Garth because he's the most well known black guy in the game (for me, anyway).

<3 Garth though. He's awesome.


I named my dog Lennon.
As a throw back to both my games in FFVII (Red XIII is a silly name) and Dick Dasterdly, I called my dog Mutley.

In short: When's the computer release date? And hopefully they debug this before they port it.

No bugs for me so far. It's such a complex game - in terms of all the various interactions, I mean - that I'm not surprising bugs are cropping up.

I'm planning on buying the whole of Bowerstone so that I'll be outrageously minted once I'm finished with Fallout 3.
I own oakfield, Both districts of bowerstone and westcliff. Bite my rich asscheeks?

I encountered a new bug! Due to some crazy glitching I've done, I now recieve a Rising Sun (legendary axe from the Temple of Light) every time I enter the Oakfield area. It's made me fairly apprehensive on going back. On the plus side I make a couple of thousand just for visiting.

Due to aforementioned bug I've not yet bought much of Oakfield (just the bar, Temple of Light and three stalls), but I own Bowerstone districts, westcliffe and a fairly large chunk of Bloodstone, alongside the Graveyard Mansion and Brightwood Tower.

I mentioned this in the "official" thread, but I'm stuck on the Ritual mission with the idiot Abbot who's frozen against the wall. I can't even attack his butt. I tried, and it made everyone else around the area hate me, but he just stood there, not letting me hit A to make him talk.

I will say that this game seems very, very buggy for a finished product. The first time I saw someone play it, "your" sister got stuck in Bowerstone against an alley wall. The guy playing was running all over the place but couldn't talk to anyone until she randomly broke free and popped in where he was standing.

There are also some really serious clipping issues, especially with the dog. He's barked for treasure, then promptly run THROUGH fences and doors to show me where it is, while I'm stuck running the loop of the road. Then of course I lose him and have to retrace.

That is, if he shows up again at all. I've had him disappear on me for more than 10 minutes once. I've also seen him pop in standing on top of an open chest lid or on rocks behind invisible walls he can't get out of.

I mean, don't get me wrong, clipping is a minor problem in this game and usually seems to work itself out. But I've noticed that even the player character "floats" on the ground in a way I haven't seen in games since the early 2000s. Maybe PM should've used a different engine. Not even the original Black & White had this many clipping and AI pathfinding problems.

Pong glitched once for me. :( The ball went through my paddle.
Awesome, one down.

Actually I had a problem on the last boss where nothing fell off after I'd scrapped the first two bits, had to reload, only happened the once but still...

I have had no problems, maybe you got a bad copy, none of my friends have had problems, never heard of any problems.

EDIT: "the main problem is what about the Fable 2 disc is that the problem"
what the HELL is that supposed to mean??
No clue, I think the OP (from the Lionhead forums) is TRYING to say that Fable II is the problem - not his 360.
RRoD cannot be caused by a game, it is an internal hardware failure, so this sounds like hes trying to get his money back by Bullshitting his way out of keeping the game.
I have no idea what you are talking about, I have had personal experience in seeing games being deveolped for the 360: RRoD can happen due to a pointer misallocation or segfault equilvilent mishap in the programming.

That's just greedy.

P.S. Is it possible to buy The Spire...?

I've encountered quite a few issues with clipping, but nothing like what happened to a mate of mine yesterday.

He was just walking around, heading through Brightwood, when suddenly, instead of the usual amount of gold he got from his properties (around 7 or 8k), he was given SIX MILLION gold. Six million. He took a picture of the screen to prove it as well. Talk about a spoiler, he'll never have to worry about affording anything for the rest of the game.

I have a problem. A fairly big problem. I cannot do ANYTHING in Bloodstone. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL A BANSHEE WITHOUT WEAPONS?!?!
