Oh, a few more semi-related thoughts:
Some people have suggested that Theresa may have a bone to pick with the Shadow Court. Obviously, they are quite powerful. Perhaps the most powerful beingsa you encounter in the game. They also destroyed Oakvale, Theresa's home, so she would have cause to dislike them.
Anyway, I would like to see her use the Spire to restore Oakvale, or I'd just love to see DLC that involves in some way involves Oakvale being restored. That would just be for nostalgia for me really, but if it also related to Theresa and the Spire, or saw your hero taking down the Shadow Court then it could be quite fun and interesting.

Yes, thank you. It took me 3 freaking hours to find Oakfield. 3 hours. I tried to read the damn map but I couldn't..so finally I just asked my friend for help and he showed me the spot.
Couldn't believe it either..it was right in front of me the whole time, just didn't see it.
Beat the game and most of the quests, maxed out character and own every piece of land (I'm not going to bother shooting all the gargoyles and finding the silver keys), but overall I found the game to be pretty easy, never died once, money came easy, and time-stop + button mashing kills everybody.
Still a really great game, but I couldn't help but feel everything was one-dimensional (from family, children, moral consequences, weapon augments, enemies, leveling up, etc). The game left me wanting more, but I find that to be a positive. Hope they keep building on this series, I can't for the next iteration.
Anyways, my character, she was a generic-looking macho guy 99% of the game, but
. So, unfortunately, I'm stuck as a woman, and I was looking to start up a new family only to realize that all men in Albion are ugly idiots (unfit to stick their bacon bazooker in my character).

I took that damn potion because I wanted to see how my character would look like as a chick (I didn't know it would auto-save immediately after you did it)
Sailor said:It wouldn't let me activate it to the location..kept saying something about how I haven't ventured there yet and had to explore the area more...of course when I tried doing that I ended up all the way on the other side of the world D:
I was so lost
Thats just for the teleportation question. The first question is just for the target market/crumb trail.
And as far as getting rid of muscle, I guess you could dock some points from the middle category in the strength section.

I was kinda hoping you could look like the guy on the cover of the game; one of my main gripes about appearance is that as the game progresses you're stuck with that macho physique that makes you look like a another town guard, and its much worse with a woman character since you get these huge she-hulk shoulders. Personally, I also wish those magic 'veins' were optional.
Doctor_No said:
If you don't put many points into physique and don't turn yourself into a fatass, or if you balance the two well enough, couldn't you end up being fairly lean like the guy on the cover?
What I'm wondering if is anyone has managed to look like his reflection, the big red demon dude.

Look outside of the Hobbe Cave in Rookridge. At the bottom end of the cave. I think.Ironballs said:

Sure, but you'll end up having a weaker character. Towards the end of the game you should have your stats close to maxed, so should you end up with the similar muscular character with magic veins unless you go out of your way to keep your character weak and use no magic.
I assume the closest you can get to the demon on the cover is the horns, 100% evil/corruption, bald, and dye everything you can red. Possibly the troll face stat you get from sleeping in some houses (? not sure how that works exactly), but I don't think you get your skin red, etc.

Just started playing earlier today. Got through childhood, and to the beginning of
Enjoying it so far, even though I haven't done much. Environments look great. Characters, not so much, and the animation is barely passable, if not piss-poor. What the hell is up with the dog and him clipping through the ground and not keeping his paws planted on the ground. Just looks really sloppy.
So I go to my house, and go into the pause menu. I see a few exclamation points in the menu, so I chose to check out the map. Game crashes. WTF I had no idea the game was this buggy :\ Now I'm going to be saving every 5 minutes for fear of losing any playtime.
Lionhead/MS... fix your shit!!!
my path of revenge for the killing of my beloved sister

This sounds exactly how I felt after the first game, so I wouldn't get your hopes up. That said I'm yet to crack open my copy to find out for myself, so with that I am outta here...

I did pretty much every quest that wouldn't make me evil and finished up the game earlier today. I thought it was a great game, but it was a pretty poor RPG, it's just that the sim aspects of it made up for it. I think the biggest fault of the game is that there is no sense of accomplishment for anything you do in the game.
Okay, was anyone as crazy as me... played the entire game from start to finish in coop?
I have to be honest, this was the most frustrating coop experience I've had in any game. The game itself is very fun at times, and it's nice to be able to play through the game with a friend, but Lionhead sure as hell didn't bother to make it a painless experience.
Anyone defending the camera is absolutely insane, it's way too flawed. Navigating indoor environment is an absolute nightmare. Getting stuck in small obstacles is too easy and becomes 10 times as frustrating in coop. You often move beyond the camera's range, which is kinda counterproductive. You can press select to teleport to your teammate... but only the client can do so and there's a 1-2 second delay to it. The client ends up mindlessly following the host the majority of the game, which becomes an absolute chore with this camera and they might as well have added an automatic "follow the host" toggle.
I just started to play another coop game (Saints Row 2) with my friend, this game has individual cameras for each player and there's no restriction for how far the players can move from eachother (and the map is huge). And you know what? We stay close together and play cooperatively! WITHOUT ANY FREAKING STUPID IDIOTIC LIMITED CAMERA! *ahem*
There's a few other annoyances. Like the henchman system just makes no sense:
-You get to use all the same abilities and skills as your main character... but your weapons and character looks are generic
-Nothing which happens in the host world has any effect on your character... besides evil/good deeds and deaths (dying is especially odd... if the client uses potions, the host gets fat. If the client dies, the client gets the scars.)
Why couldn't they have just chosen one route? Either just let me play as my own hero from my savegame, or just let me play as a generic character with absolutely no consequences on my savegame.
Anyway, that's my rant. Now as I've completed the game, I can happily pretend that evil coop camera does not exist and will no longer haunt my dreams.

I know it won't help you now, but a lot of people have started "orb questing." Rather than going full on co-op, 2-4 people get together and play through the game in unison, but in their own game worlds. Sure they only see orbs representing the other characters, but they have full camera control and each effect their own world, but they get to experience the game together.
I just finished donating a lot of money to the church and now my purity and goodness are a 100%.
Didn't notice it till i ported somewhere else but now I have a halo, my hair is blonde, and my dog turned blonde too lol.
Didn't someone say that you could buy the church? is that true or do you just simply donate to it?

It's easy to go from good to evil, but if you are max evil what is the easiest way to become max good? Is it even possible?

So i haven't played this damned game in four days now. tomorrow night I'm making one last push before I put it down for Fallout.

Go to Bloodstone, there are beggars with their hands out, gift them a large donation of gold. Don't think it works for the second meter (corrupt/pure) though - for that you'll probably have to make each house have free rent and eat lots of vegetables and stuff.

Put in 10 hours of Fable II on Sat. Sure it's on the easy side but it's so much fun. Can't believe I thought I was almost done after 15 hours but another 10 hours later and I've got sidequests out the ying yang before I even attempt to finish up the main story.
9.7/10 score from me.

Having a bit of a problem, is this a bug? I bought pretty much all the houses in Bowerstone and am renting them out (put the rent up 100%). At first i was getting about 4500G every 5 minutes then it suddenly stopped. Then suddenly a SHIT LOAD of money was taken away from me (not from my wives or anything) and i ended up with nothing pretty much.
now i aint receiving shit every 5 mins. nothing at all.

I have a few questions about relationships in Fable;
1. How do I get women to sleep with me? I can get women to love me and I have 2 wives but I can't get them to sleep with me. As far as I'm aware, you just need to get them to follow you and then goto your house and sleep right? I thought thats what you did but it doesn't seem to be working, it's worked twice but outside of that it just brings up the option to sleep normally. I dunno what was different the other two times.
2. Same deal but with...umm....a group of women. Can get them to follow me to the bedroom but nothing more.
3. Getting peeps drunk. How do I do this?
Cheers

Oh i wasn't responding to your post. I literally just found a condom in the ground... buried alongside some old tome.
This game is seriously rad as shit. I agree with the perfunctory criticisms about the lame fart gags and whatnot, the random infantile pranks... but the game is fun to explore, has an incredible atmosphere and encounters and characters are colorful and everything seems extremely well written on the average.
I hated Fable I, but Fable II is really fucking good.
