Wow! Anyone having major sound issues in the underground tomb? A loud noise that sounds like digital noise keeps intermittently coming on and scaring the hell out of me. It's also loud.

I'm amazed that some people on here are actually able to have a normal life with all the offensive things people face on daily basis. Being an adult mean having to choose what's worth fighting over and what should be ignored. People on here are banned for calling things gay all the time. Let's not act like they have to actually be talking about homosexuality for it to constitute a ban. Had he not mentioned children at all it would have been the same result.stupei said:

from what i've played so far they really should have delayed this into next year and ironed out the technical issues.
my dog and NPC's constantly get stuck and at times the game stutters like crazy when nothing is going on around me.

I have an old 20 gb 360 that I despise because it's so damn loud. I'm thinking of getting a new slim but I wanted to see if anyone here has done the same thing I did. After getting fable 3 I stupidly entered the 3 dlc codes right away. Now I read I can transfer saves via memory card, but is it possible to transfer the fable 3 dlc to a new hard drive?

I am sure you can do a license transfer for it.venom2124 said:

You have to do it through the xbox sitevenom2124 said:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Support/LicenseMigration/Home
anything you download through live is tied to the console and your live account, if you copy DLC to another console you have to be signed in online to use it. You can do the license transfer so you can use the DLC on the new console without going online.
Its been mentioned before that you don't. But you barely get any XP from killing anything anyways so it really wouldn't matter in the first place.Shurs said:

So wow yeah they don't just make a joke about fantasy games and game design at the end they also say "Hey that was a joke about fantasy games and game design in general, you got it right, right? That was funny wasn't it, lets all have a laugh now"

You still can.stupei said:
I ran into a bug last night where I had just finished a quest and then went to the sanctuary to save because I was done for the night. But it said that I had to finish what I was doing in order to save. So I tried to back out of the sanctuary, but it wouldn't let me do that, either. It wouldn't let me talk to John Cleese, either. So I figured I'd fast travel somewhere with the map. But once I got into the map, it wouldn't let me fast travel. It said I had to finish my current quest first. And then it wouldn't let me back out of the map, either.
I probably lost an hour since the last save.

You go to xbox.com website and do license transfer there. Or you can just redowload the DLC when you get your new 360 and it would still work as long as you are connet to Live.
Snagged one of the Best Buy codes from the register I was at while buying Rock Band yesterday. They were just sitting there in a big pile. So now I'll be able to get some sort of crystal sword thing and whatever the Amazon weapon is.
Generally loading the Sanctuary is pretty fast, so it seems like a fine menu substitute. However in certain circumstances it takes foorrrrrreeeevvvveeeerrrr. The only time it happened to me so far is immediately after exiting the first dungeon, hopefully it doesn't become a major issue. And I hadn't installed the game yet, so that should help too.
I like that all the experience is the same. That way I can use the one magic spell I have occasionally and not worry about wasting valuable strength or skill experience I could be getting.

so...do towns ever get like impressive looking? So far the increased scale means that IMO they look less interesting, for example you see less houses/area at a given view point.
Some of the combat areas look great, but I find the towns looks a lot more generic than in Fable 2.
I got up to the town past the hollow men motar battle

Fuck this game. Seriously.
Guys, if you want a hint about when the end of the game suddenly arrives, highlight the spoiler. No story spoilers, promise.
No warning. No nothing. Just OOPS END OF GAME SORRY IF YOU WEREN'T READY.
God damn.

Liking the game so far. Though the mercenary camp reminded me of that bandit camp in Fable 2 at it's start. Same location as well I think from the looks of it or perhaps similarly located. The fight was nice though but I burned through whatever potions I had for the fight. Not having an on screen health indicator is going to be interesting.
The scale of the game world is impressive though compared to the past games. I just hope they put it to good use as I get further into the game. The Sanctuary is nice but I wish I could just pop into a menu system and quickly select things.
I have the same system. I haven't played it much in recent months but forgot how loud the thing was.

No its nothing like that. Maybe you are thinking of the Fable 1 bandit camp.Effect said:
Or maybe Overlord or something.
You can mess around as much as you want before that, only doing certain "quests" to advance the story. I just didn't think that withultron87 said:
121 days left was the last fucking day was the next day.
Basically I missed out on an achievement, but mostly I just wanted to see the ramifications of what I was trying to do in game. This is stupid, and it honestly makes me want to quit. I haven't completed the game yet, finishing it now.

I'm glad they delayed it. I would've bought it with some Live points I've been hanging on to, but after reviews and impressions here I probably would've been pissed.
Maybe next time you'll get that AAA game to stand alongside Halo and CoD, Peter. :lol

supposedly they're still working on it and after playing for several hours you can kinda see their intent on releasing a PC version (almost all of the button press indicators could easily have their text switched out).
oh how i wish that i would have waited for F3 to hit PC. the horrid blurring and screen-tearing is giving me a headache.
Review:
+ Combat is much improved over Fable 2. I really enjoyed the way you weave guns and swordplay. Spells were used (a lot), but they weren't really combined with other types of combat. Flourishes, however, take too long and are too easily interrupted by faster enemies later in the game.
+ Weapon leveling is awesome. I love games where you can level weapons. Maybe it's the RPG nerd inside me, but I loved it.
+ Story is very interesting, especially impressed with the depth and detail of the side quests. There are arching side quests that keep your interest throughout.
+ The Sanctuary is very easy to use, even if it's not as good as smooth menu. So much, much, much better than Fable 2.
+ Tons to do. Books, gnomes, weapons upgrades, marriage, children, keys (silver and gold), flowers to collect...there's just a ton of stuff here.
+ Multiplayer, especially couch co-op, is much improved. Still not fully fleshed out, but a good start.
+ Music is absolutely amazing. The soundtrack strikes that balance of adding to a scene without overtaking it.
- The ending. Two reasons: one, it just arrives. No warning. If you're not ready, too bad. The game saves too, so no going back. There is post-game, but you better be ready for it! Two: It's a letdown. Not Fable 2 levels, but it is a letdown. The final boss is laughable.
- Bugs. Dog getting stuck, people not talking to me, objects not letting me interact with them, etc. They're everywhere. Not game breaking, and I never had to reload a file, but they were distracting.
- The game is too easy. I never died and maybe used health potions four times.
- Graphics, especially when it comes to light and moving edges, are jaggy. Atmosphere is great, but technically it's not very pretty on a big TV.
- Accessing quests is really annoying. I really have to pause the game, go the map, press Y, then select my quest? Really? Streamline that shit.
- Clothing options are limited. Maybe there are a ton of secret ones, but I have like 7 sets per gender.
- No face/skin customization. By the third iteration I would have thought they might throw it in, but nope.
- Being good gives you almost no visual queues that you are good! No butterflies, no nothing. Only a small, faded white tattoo above your eyes.
Overall it's a very good game but the ending left a really sour taste in my mouth. Even if I was prepared and knew when it was coming it was still very anti-climactic. The combat, weapon leveling, and sidequests really make this game good.

Amazon came through with solid release date delivery yet again. Got it at noon yesterday.
So far, Im really enjoying the game. The charm and atmosphere present in previous games returns in stunning fashion. The writing and voice acting in this game is unparalleled. So good. Really like the art style and environments. The quests that Ive done so far (4 hours in) have been fun and varied.
That said I get the impression that the development team at Lionhead is really lopsided. Its like they spent their entire dev budget on artists, actors and writers and skimped on the programmers and tech side of the team. The game is buggy as hell and the odd framerate issues (it chugs when youre standing still with no action going on around you, also happened while doing Lute Hero) really take you out of the game. Molyneuxs over-promising aside, what really hinders the Fable series is the tech. This game would have greatly benefitted from a 6 month delay and a couple more polish passes.
Overall, I really like the game. Im able to see past the bugs and glitches and enjoy it. Could have been great, but they settled for good.

why why why can't i back up my save?! these damn auto-saving games come with a HUGE flaw - that if you should, say, get a DRE during a save it fucks you over completely!!
i had to restart F2 over when such a thing happening to me and the same almost happened again! luckily my save was fine this time but i was damn scared.
what's really fucked up is that i got a disc read error WITH THE GAME INSTALLED TO THE HDD!

So I've been hit with the Sanctuary bug where once you go to it you can't leave unless you fast travel, and likewise once you open the map you can't close it and can only fast travel from it.

I call bullshit on you sir, especially since I'm in charge of the team looking at the Lionhead email.
Also, we set up a page especially for people who want to report a technical issue which you can find on the Fable 3 forums here http://lionhead.com/forums/83.aspx

I'm not very far but I definitely agree with this. I played Fable 2 on a small PC monitor. Since then I've upgraded to a 40'' plasma TV, and it's pretty jarring how messy the game can look. Love the art and atmosphere but so far it's pretty janky performance wise.

I think we took the email off that page for the time being (always do that during launch days) as on a normal day we get about 5K but on launch days sometimes it goes up to 20K (people asking questions, having problems, asking for tips and hints etc...)
I can imagine getting bummed about loosing progress, wouldn't be happy myself either and I think I speak for everyone at Lionhead when I say that.
