Have I not looked properly or is there only one save slot?
There's like six or eight-ish. When you start a new file, next time you choose "continue game," you can choose which file to load.

Or legendary hammers? Decent ones?
The Hammerthyst hammer's pretty funky. Easy to get early on too. It's what I'm gonna be using up until I grab the Daichi.

You should probably spoiler that.

The bloody Thief killed him for me! Stole my kill! I always listen to the dialogue in a game, so I was sitting there listening to him plead, with me slowly pressing down on the trigger, when Thiefie Bastard pops up from his coma and shoots Lucien, and then makes fun of me for not doing it.

After that and my Dog, I get the feeling the designers of this game really hate me. In a good way.


That's what you get for not taking advantage of the fact that he was monologuing. Everyone knows it's a villain's #1 weakness!

I just need me a nice quick gun and I will be sorted. Pair it with time control and I will be untouchable this time around.
yeap seems to work just fine, although turret pistols seem to work ok, you get 6 shots straight off, then you reload for the bullets you've spent, so it becomes a shot for 6, reload for 1, shot for 1.

I want to love this game, I really do... but it just doesn't have the immersion factor the first game did.

I don't care when your spouse dies, I don't care if everyone died. However, if it was the first game, I'd care greatly. They fired the wrong people when they moved to this game... The story just doesn't grab me, the action of the characters don;t hook me.

In fact, when your dog sacrificed itself, I though the scene was just corny. Oblivion had a greater immersion factor, if just because of the best character in that game, Dharma. If they could have had a longer story there, it would have made a perfect sequence of quests.

This just doesn't have it...

Alright then, when is the Unholiest Hour? Everytime I round up sacrifices what's-his-face tells me that killing the Mrs. isn't evil enough because it isn't the "Unholiest Hour".

Is there some sort of in-game clock I'm missing? Moonfish anywhere?

Anyone else besides me think this game was pretty terrible?

Filled with glitches. (Among other things - people would be talking but not there, my health bar would disappear for awhile, for one quest the camera wouldn't stop shaking every 15 seconds FOR NO REASON, during the gate quest that black magic dude got stuck in front of a rock and I had to restart it, having to be incredibly close to someone because apparently holding A requires you to be an inch from the person.) It was like the game wasn't finished.

Most of the spells are pretty useless.

The guns were useless.

The jobs were boring and pointless (chopping wood??? Serving drinks?? Really?? FUN!)

The weapons weren't that interesting, and the clothing options were stupid and incredibly redundant, regardless of how you "dyed" them.

I didn't care what happened to anything whatsoever while I was playing. (A wife? Don't care. Community service? Don't care. Buy a house and buy furniture! Lame.


A terrible button layout of pulling the right trigger to gather orbs that would a) leaving you standing there like an idiot defenseless b) mess with your spell selections, and c) what was up with the orbs disappearing so damn quickly?

The quests were boring and stupid easy, and who cares if you died? You loose experience, but you already have hundreds of thousands.

Pretty linear exploring to go along with:
- not being able to jump down from things (Im talking about not being able to drop 1 ft. and having to go all the way down or around to get somewhere that was right in front of you)
- having a small rock block you
- hilariously turned pathetically killing trolls by standing in one spot

I enjoyed the first Fable, but I'm returning Fable II.

I'm not even going to go into most of that, but half the stuff you said "sucks" is just you being retarded. The orbs don't disappear. They merge together. The camera shaking means there's an undead popping up somewhere near you, as far as I can tell. It's not coincidence that it happens to me every time I get swarmed by hollow men. The button layout is fine. Who the hell tries to collect orbs in the middle of a fight? Finish it first. The guns and spells are useless? You've got to be kidding.

Wait, what? You can jump down from things unless there's nowhere safe to land. And you can kill trols while not moving? Golly! How on earth do you do that? I always get knocked flying by their massive rocks that they chuck and the massive shockwaves they send at you. That, and I've never seen one turn around to let me access to the nerves on it's back.

<3 Chesty the Chest
Me and Chesty were super best friends. But after a game of hide and go seek he went missing leaving behind a chest with his heart of diamond in there. But Chesty's son is my new super best friend because he didn't ditch me like Chesty did.

Orbs don't disappear, just mass together so it's easier to pick up.

Yeah, killing trolls is easy, I hate the nerve tendrils thing.

Guns are nowere near as powerful as the bow was in Fable, and no multi arrow (bullet) spell. Sure, guns may not have it, but the crossbows did in fable.

Headshots=1 hit kill on most, if not all, humanoid enemies. How is that *not* powerful?

Damn it, screw the people of Albion. I miss my fake video game dog more than... well, anything ever in a game before. I'd grown attached to that thing, damn it.

Actually he could be referring to a problem I've had. After I married
Lady Grey
every now and again I'd go around and there wouldd be citizens talking but they wouldn't show up for a bit.
Sounds more like minor lag on the loading of the models rather than a glitch to me.
