That's pretty damn lame then. I was going to buy this so that my friend and I could play through it. I was considering because theres no percievable release date for the PC version, if that even happens.
Beginning of the game one of the first things I did was go to the small dock in Oakfield with my dog and look into the sunset. So at the end of the game I chose sacrifice and was an old man when all was said and done . Bought that house in Oakfield thats right by the dock, finally got married and had a daughter. Then I went to go do some quests I hadn't done for some time that I'd been wanting to finish up. Then I come back home, finally meet my daughter since she was a baby and make my family follow me to the dock where me and my dog first started out adventuring.
We looked off into the sunset and...
I turned off my 360 and packed the game up to send back to gamefly :lol
I just beat the first boss if you can call it that...who was blocking the village. There were some people locked up in a cage they told me to go to the hut to get the key. I couldn't find the key...
So, ignoring your problems doesn't work with this game.
Before heading to the Spire, I was having a tough time deciding whether to help the Temple of Shadows or Temple of Light in that quest in Oakfield; the Temple of Shadows was good for a laugh so I didn't want to kill them, but I love the town of Oakfield so there was no way I was wiping them out. So I thought that I could just ignore both those quests. Anyways, skip forward ten years and I find the Golden Oak dead, and the Temple of Light abandoned and infested with Undead, as Theresa explains how my failure to act lead to these consequences. What have I done to poor Oakfield
Just finished. Even with all the issues the game has (and there are quite a few), I'd consider it a flawed masterpiece. It was extremely enjoyable, and I liked the ending too. I think the game most reminded me of the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver games.
In the end I chose love, because fuck all those dumb people that built the Spire, and I can make gold myself. The dog was my homey and although I wasn't shocked when he took a bullet for me, I was still upset. I was actually really surprised when Reaver killed the photographer. That actually made me sad, I liked his character quite a bit and it made me hate Reaver!
A couple of things:
Does anyone know who Rose was referring to in her letter? Who is the hooded guy?
I really hope there is some DLC for this game, or Fable 3 is a direct continuation of the plot. I want more!

So I'm watching my daughter play her character, teaching her how to keep an eye on the dog (Bruno) and find buried treasure. She finds a bunch of stuff - including stuff I never found (gotta go back and do some digging).
My wife is on the computer, which is in the same room. She looks over as the kid (age six) digs up.....a condom.

I ended up going for the love option, my dog was just too much of a friend to me for me to lose him.
I think this was decided very early on for me though, i had an incident in which I was running along very happily on a quest and i hear my dog bark but I carry on running. I then heard a very loud gunshot and he had stopped barking! It was only for a split second but i had a moment of utter dread that someone had just killed my dog, turned out it was only a guard shooting at some bandits or something, but because of that moment, i know that i love that thing and i never wanted it to happen again. It's a shame it did, but i got him back both times!

Try as i might, i can never hate Reaver, Stephen Fry is just too brilliant a man for me to hate any character he playes. Reaver could kill my family, and drown a million puppies and i would still be overjoyed to see him :lol
I too would really like to know whats going on with rose, perhaps some DLC is down the way, i'd rather that than have to wait for FableIII
Yeah. She's okay with the fighting (she plays Halo) and is pretty mature in handling the other themes (the event that ends childhood). So it's the sex stuff I'm keeping her away from. The rule is, she can only play it when I'm there watching her, and I steer her away from that stuff. The bread crumb trail is good at keeping her on task, so I didn't think that she would run into stuff like that just looking for treasure in the country side. Boy was that a surprise.
Fuck that. I hope there is DLC or a direct sequel where I can
kill Reaver. The bastard annoyed me a lot. Plus I was really interested in facing a skilled gun user in the game. Might have been the only enemy that could have challenged me...and by challenge I mean slow me down a slight bit. That and marry Hammer...hey..nothin wrong with a bit of cushion.
Well yeah, I mean most equipment in the game seemed cloth or leather based. No metallic items aside from the breastplate on the Ranger's coat. So this helm was a surprise to me.
Sacrifice option, although I regret it because I miss having my dog following me around. Once I clear up a few things that I want to finish achievement-wise then I'm going to start the game over and do a bunch of sidequests that I didn't get around to in this playthrough but I'll have my dog at my side.
Anyone have any recommendations for making fast money once you've completed the game? I want to buy the properties with quests associated with them... but I don't have nearly enough cash. I guess I can turn my noble good guy character into a total slum lord and raise the rent in every building in Old Town by 100%.

Play the bartending minigame, and buy lots of property and shops. Crank up the rent/prices to +100%. Then just dick around, looking for Silver Keys and Gargoyles, while getting your pay every 5 minutes. Whenever you build up a good chunk, teleport to town and buy more properties and crank up the prices, then go back to exploring.
Money from owning shops/houses continues to collect even when you are offline, and you get a lump sum when you next play.
I get like 5500 gold every 5 minutes now. I think money earned offline is every 30 minutes instead of every 5 minutes.

I'm curious as to what explanation you gave your daughter on what a condom is :lol
(To other people)
I just tried to build up gold by doing a bunch of quests and jobs. After a while, I started to buy property and let revenue pour in as I did the quests. I managed to buy all of Gyspy Camp, then Oakville, Bowerstone etc etc gradually as I progressed through the game. I own now all of the property that was available to me at this time (haven't met Reaver yet)
Is it worth it to save those notes you randomly pick up, like the suicide notes in the first dungeon? Does anything come of them, or are they mainly just to sell?
what about? I married Lady Gray and had pale looking bald children that looked much like Peter Boyle.

For me the easiest way I found to make money is by getting property early (other then cheating). I got most of my money before I got property by doing bar tending in Bowerstone market; since its so damn easy. The green area is always in the same place (unlike blacksmithing and wood-cutting), you just have to aim for the same place everytime; its good to have visual-aids on the screen to where to aim for. For the Bowerstone market pub I focused on pressing between the two bottles and was able to get 15x multiplier and continually get money (for higher multipliers I focused on pressing slightly before the two-bottles) . With five-stars plus 15X you should be getting 1,100+ gold every few seconds. With that, invest everything in buying property and you should be making tons of income.
so i just finished the main quest. any idea about how many post end-game quests there are? i've seen several pop up already, but i'm not sure how many were there and i just didn't notice previously and if some were maybe time/event based and just didn't appear until you had done other things.
Man, the inability to screw Stephen Fr.. Reaver ruined the game for me
Though I honestly can't say how much I liked the game. I think a lot of it was amazing, in particular I think the horror environments were amazingly done in an awesome fantasy rather than scary way
I thought the balverine part was very well done, the second they stopped attacking me I knew the woman was one of them, leading me into their den, but as a good hero I couldn't do anything until she was proven guilty.
But them again
if I was evil I doubt I'd be able to kill her before she turned.
In fact I think most of the issues I have with the game are to do with the choices (and the lack of clothing options, though I still wouldn't like medieval armour appearing) as everything seems so binary. You either killer people/sell them to slavers or don't kill people/save them from slavers for the majority or your alignment points. In turn that makes them too easy to acquire, making certain choices you make in the game feel irrelevance. Even given their insignificant the difficult choices Peter was referencing to were too far and few between, given the one he reference about the horrible scaring being around 33% of them
the others being if you obey, and your final choice which was handled very poorly in my opinion. As a hero who sacrificed my appearance and family for others I wanted more from it, I wanted the world to love me more.
Then again you could argue that was the point of these decisions, the greatest man comes away from the situation with the least.
To be honest, now I feel my issue with the game is it's too easy to earn respect from people. I think if Lionhead made it more difficult to make people to fall in love with you, if they only had the populace worship you if you were the best person you could be the immersion/experience would of been amazing, even with the few difficult choices the game offers if it made them seem worth it, it would of been a matter of quality above quantity.
After those rather ugly paragraphs I have to say everything else about the game is amazing. The environments are fucking beautiful despite the tech, the continuity of the world is the most appealing I've seen in a game despite it being much smaller than the like of Oblivion and Lost Odyssey, the RPG elements work flawlessly even if simply in my opinion, from courting to working to ownership of land, the combat was surprisingly good and enjoyable even with it's ease (I'm a hero to an extent, and I felt fucking heroic. Even though I never died there were a couple of times I needed potions!), and the narrative is great in a way very unique to the game
For example I felt really quite shit after I killed the Hobbe that was the father's son, the scaring segment was intense even though I knew about it (I contemplated changing my mind even though I decided on who I'd be, the same can be said of the scenes in the Spire) and the moments with the other heroes and your nemesis are all very emerging.
If it weren't for my issues with the morality system (which I think could of been easily fixed) and franchises need on that to be a major feature this would be a fucking amazing game. As it is, it's merely great and I have great faith in the franchise given how far it's gone in two iterations.

Be careful when you get to Bloodstone, the tutorial(if you have it on) says something like "You're being propositioned by a prostitute, respond with a thumbs up or down". :lol
Where can i get my hair changed and get a beard? I have forgotten almost everything i learned about this games once dead space came from gamefly and im ready to jump back in. But first...i need a beard.

Highlight the following only if you've finished the spire mission.
When you return, you know how the temple of light changes if you helped it? I know I did, but I'm curious as to how the Temple of Shadows would look like if I helped it instead. Anyone got any pictures?
Did you stay or leave when the gravekeeper asked you to? If you stayed you have a chance to propose and marry, I'm not sure what happens if you don't propose immediately (because that is what I did). But for me I made the family home to be the cemetery mansion and sometimes she is walking all over the damn cemetery area.

It looks the same. Oakvale on the other hand has turned into a filthy town filled with crossdressers and drunks. I also got attacked by hobbes afters doing a quest there :lol
