Fable II, the official thread.

[waffletaco]

You guys are lucky to have plowed through the main story line. Some jerk named Charlie royally screwed me over big time. The quest objective says to return him to his grandmama, so I figure, "ok... exiting ruins... load screen.... :finger pressure on left stick upwards because grandmama is back at gypsy camp: :moves out of talking speech quest circle: :screwed up quest: :cannot open doors or interact with anything anymore.:

:cries:

Curse you Charlie! Curse you Lionhead Studios! Curse you Molyneux!

After watching that bird crap on my character i knew this was going to be a good game

 

[Firefly22]

My character looks a lot like dante from devil may cry,but instead of ebony and ivory he has a flintlock rifle.

 

[waffletaco]

My guy ended up being a pirate. He has the beard, the hat, the master clockwork pistol with ghoul and gold augments.... Wait what?

You can also be a bartender and bounty hunter. Or slave trader if you are evil. Very cool game so far, does anyone know if there is anything specific to make your wife want some whoopie? I get family messages saying she wants sex, then I come home and wait a half hour waiting for her to prompt me to give her the 'thumbs up'

No you are doing it wrong, You must get her a little pumped up.(Try the 3-hit knockout from fable 1. Or just two being if they are proper anyways. Heroic pose and Victory Arm pump or something.) Then when thats done do the expression follow me back to my place and then when shes following you click on the bed and you will get two choices.

Yeah, I failed and didn't HAVE the come back to my place yet. Life is much easier now.

I have heard a lot of people say it sucked but when I actually looked at it and heard you guys (or gals...) talk about it I am seriously thinking about buying an XBox 360 just for the game.
Is that a bad idea?

No, bad. You must be careful with what you say, as you may just inadvertently spark a console war. Also I love the idea of slave trader. That's a real mans job.

I'm not trying to invoke any kind of war or fighting, I just wanted to hear what you guys/gals think. It is never my goal to start a fight, this isn't Jerry Springer.

Got a quick question: Does anyone know at what rate you recieve gold at while your console/game is offline in comparison to when you're in game? (Percentage wise? I've heard 'about 10%') Apologies if I've missed something in the tutorial or elsewhere where it tells you, but I can't find a definitive number

Despite its flaws:

- No minimap sucks.
- Slow responses in menu.
- If I attack/kill a blatantly evil guy (torture cult) without being provoked somehow, I'm the criminal.
- The emotes hotlinked on the D-pad get switched whenever my dog happens to walk accross/something else, even when engaged in a conversation, it's annoying.

The game makes up for it with:

+ Intro + tutorial (childhood) part of the game,
+ Man it's fun.
+ No mana.
+ Earning money and stuff is nicely done.
+ So far, it's been a nice story and a lovely setting.
+ Character customization.
+ So much to do.

Overall, the game looks stunning, it keeps me busy with entertainment and has a good feel to it. Definitely a good game, but as far as to buy a console over: no, never buy a console for just one game in my opinion. If you're already doubting to buy it and you need one more arguement to tip over, then yes, it is worth it.

 

[Skalman]

Right, i have this message stuck at the top of my screen at all times: "You don't have the key needed to open this portcullis" It won't go away no matter what I do and it's blocking all the messages i should get in the game. I've tried reloading a save and even shutting of my xbox. the damn thing won't dissapear!!!

Help me...

 

[laikenf]

I have a female character; is it possible to remove scars? And, as a female, how do you initialize sex with , say, you're husband?

 

[OverlordSteve]

Well, I just got Fable 2 today. I haven't played the original, but I'm very happy with my purchase. Since I can't play videogames during the week normally, I'm focusing on buying a lot of property this weekend to up my income a few thosand gold.

Also I just got 5-star blacksmith.

 

[TheBadass]

This is the first game since Black and White eight years ago that's kept me up 'till two in the morning. I love this game.

Incidentally, I'm a bitchin' Will user. All spells at Level 4 or 5, and only just completed that tournament which ended with the Stone Troll.

 

[haruvister]

Also I just got 5-star blacksmith.

I just got 5* Blacksmith, too. Listening to the kids roleplaying in the street while I was hammering away was one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

For all its silly little bugs, this is truly a game with a soul, crafted with real heart. And that's pretty rare.

 

[OverlordSteve]

Me too, I'm seriously regretting not picking it up on Friday.

I just got 5* Blacksmith, too. Listening to the kids roleplaying in the street while I was hammering away was one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Whenever I was working as a Blacksmith, I heard kept hearing the town crier's pure gold lines.

"The time is now- Um..... Really late!"
"MORRRRNING! Get off your ass and WORK!"

Also, if any of you guys have little sisters, do NOT alert them to the fact that you have a dog. I had to play fetch with mine at least 20 times in one hour at my sister's request.

But it was cute when I was blacksmithing and she started imatating Sparrow.

I bought a PS3 for MGS4. And I will be reaping the sweet benefits of Resistance 2 beta.

Also trolls suck major ass. You cannot be a pure fighter and expect to kill a troll in a reasonable time. Fucking retarded. "YOU HAVE TO HIT MY GLOWING RED WEAK SPOT OR I TURN YOUR ASS INTO A HAT!"
