More of the same easy combat, expression system got dumbed down, and technically a glitchy, stuttering mess. So worse.

Did either of you happen to buy any of the DLC that was accidentally put up on the marketplace on the day of launch and then quickly pulled again (such as the new Understone area)? If so, it could be related to that.derFeef said:
No, we both got the game yesterday. And if, I might have the free weapons pack which my friend has not downloaded yet, so I do not think it is a problem.Azure Phoenix said:
edit: Where can I see my addons in F3? maybe they did not work for me (can´t download again in marketplace)
PhatSaqs said:
I love 2 and think 3 is better. Story, world and quests are orders of magnitude better. Gameplay is unchanged with questionable additions, dont expect a massive jump here. Emoting and interating has taken a step baack though.
Combat is such a let down though, its like it was made for toddlers. Close your eyes and strike and you'll come out on top. So easy.

If you liked Fable 2 for the story then Fable 3 is a far, far better game.PhatSaqs said:
If you liked Fable 2 for random acts of nonsense, finding your own fun, and more choice in weaponry and customization and playstyle, Fable 2 still holds the crown for me.

I was really unhappy with 2. Enjoying 3 a lot more, if possible I would prefer to forget that 2 ever existed and just replace it with 3 completely.PhatSaqs said:
It's pretty close between the two. It's been awhile since I've played all the way through II so it's hard to say for sure, but it seems that III takes a step back for every step forward. I expected it to be the best Fable yet, and I'm not sure of that, but it still is a good game.
it's worth playing but if you're not a big fan of the series or dying to play this, I say wait until it's cheaper, there are some other games released recently that I'd feel more comfortable recommending at full price
I'm glad that it has grown on me, though. The last several hours have been quite pleasant once I got over all the questionable changes.

There has got to be a better way of transferring millions of gold between my personal bank and the kingdom treasury besides holding the stick with a rubber band, someone tell me there is...

It can't be that bad, I think it takes like 10 seconds to transfer a million gold.
How much are you trying to transfer anyway? :lol

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Well I was going to transfer 8 mil, but I think it'll just be a million today, so I might have time to actually play the game. I think I broke the economy early on by buying up all the good real estate
EDIT: Welp, so I plug in my wired controller, and the gold starts transferring within seconds. Heh, probably just the shitty sticks on my wireless controller.

That depends entirely on what you disliked in 2. Because its is pretty much the same game, but there are changes here and there that do make it better.Pre said:

Finally got all the keys, all gnomes, all books and all flowers. Got sick of fixing homes so I just evicted everyone. Still getting 50k a round just from stores. Have 10mil in the castle and another 6 on my guy. Next is to power up new weapons, want to use the dragon stomper but it wants me to kill nobles. Wonder if there is a way to do that and still stay good, like killing the ones in the dark sanctum place.

Yeah there must be something wrong with your controller, it shouldn't take more than a minute or two to transfer 10 million gold from personal to the treasury.

Two questions for you all,
1. How do you get to the house in the far north of the mini map?
2. TO get a few of the
Also, any quick way to make money? I made it to the latter part in the game with only 15k, I am doing the lute and buying property but it is taking a bit.

gnomes it says to go to Aurora, can you get back there if you are past that part in the story?

Deadly Cyclone said:
1) what area?
2) Don't think u can go back till you beat the main quest.
Buy shops money rolls in. As soon as you can afford another buy it. You can do the same with homes and rent but then u have to up keep them. Its a bit of a pain. Just leave your xbox on for a few hours in a city and the money will pour it. Best to start this early in game so you don't need to waste time for the gold to pour in.

Anyone else find it a bit strange that the houses need repairs but the shops don't?
First thing I do in a new area is by as many shops as I can then I start on the houses.

The place north of Millfields, there is a house there and it is an icon on your table map.

It won't let me select any of the 3 places in Aurora though. I am just past the court part.

Deadly Cyclone said:
Ah sunset house or something. Go during the day and look at the statues in the Gazebo, go back at night and make the glowing ones match. When you do it right house will open.
Deadly Cyclone said:
Yeah don't think most of it open till after the main quest, you get new quest that makes you buy keys and stuff to open the areas.

Yeah very true, it wouldn't be that hard to patch it in either I guess.
Maybe end game I'll use that method and just move into all the houses :lol

If you are optimistic probably. Microsoft is still trying to push games for windows and this would be one of the very few games they have. If you are into pessimism, then considering microsoft's track record when it comes pc gaming odds are they will screwed this up as well and the entire thing will be a dismal failure and we will never see fable on PC ever again.Earl Cazone said:

Did you rule on Aurora's fate yet? That may have something to do with it.
I was chilling down there before I beat the game... bought up all the property. Its a fortune to be made there with the vendors and pawnshop having sales at the same time.

Forcing the player to repair each house individually is fucking dumb.
Quick question and it's probably been answered already, but why is my kid black if my wife and I are white? Is she fucking the black jewelry shop owner or is the color of your kids skin random? This is a life or death question.

It happens sometimes in real life, believe it or not, but in this game it's probably just a glitch.SimpleDesign said:

I'm know this has been asked to death but what part of the game is the "point of no return"? As far as getting the side mission and collecting stuff done, before the internal game clock starts?

Shortly after the part you're on the last act of the game takes place. In the final act time only passes when you do quests for that act's main story, you can still do side quests between them.Square Triangle said:

I suffered a game breaking bug - if you join a game and find yourself with an extra 200+ guild seals, quit your game before it can save. Otherwise, you will not earn seals from combat or villager expressions. No big deal if you don't care about unlocking all the chests, but you're fucked if that becomes a big deal for you.

If core gameplay issues like movement are your concern, 3 is better than 2. It's actually the first Fable that feels like the controls aren't fighting against you. I still wish the controls would be a tad more responsive and not as stiff. But as I said, control wise, this game shits on Fable 2.

I thought you could do collectables and sidequests after the end of the game?Aquavelvaman said:

You can. The main story comes to a conclusion but you still have access to everything and a few new sidequests open up.
quick question. am i required to purchase the upgrades for the weapons and shops to get the level five upgrades or can i just skip ahead and buy the level five upgrades? I have barely played but im already presented with level five jobs. any reason to purchase level 2,3 and 4 first? same goes for weapons.
also i had a friend in co-op last night but we couldnt figure out how to trade weapons. whats the deal?

CecilRousso said:
Yeah, only weapons mean anything. Guess the game is set up for different play styles, just seems going into land lord mode breaks the need for money. I can't possible spend all I have.
Maybe that why fixing rented places is so boring, keeps people from doing it.

I'm pretty sure if you open a level 5 chest for a job or for weapons it makes levels 1-4 obsolete. No need to open up the rest of them unless you're going for the achievement.
Finally became king last night. Haven't done the first order of business yet: the trial.
Strength, Stature, Magical Aptitude maxed, all chests so far opened, several legendary weapons maxed, something like 20.5 million gold. :lol I'm just running around trying to get all the keys and gnomes without a FAQ... this is something I'd expect many, or most people to do anyway, but it makes the game stupid, stupid easy.
They really need to ramp up the difficulty or remove the sex so this can be the baby's first RPG the difficulty level would indicate. Granted, swarms of hollow men or balverines can knock down health fairly quickly but potions are far too cheap and have no cooldown.

As for the upgrades, even though you get a level 5 upgrade directly, you still pay for the previous ones.
For example, if level 1 upgrade is 20 seals and level 2 is 40 seals and level 3 is 60 seals, when you directly go for level 3 upgrade, it costs 120 seals if you haven't bought the previous ones. So it would be wise to get the in them respective order depending on what you want rather than just letting the seals sitting idle.
As for the weapons, I honestly found no reason to buy anything, especially early on in the game when money is necessary. The loot which you rarely get is good enough to beat the game, however once you get your money rolling by buying properties, you could do as you wish for collection.
