The story's taken a few surprising turns, while a couple of the sidequests have ended in ways I couldn't possibly have predicted. If the ending can live up to everything that's gone before and round things off nicely - a big ask, but doable - then it's almost certainly the best game I've played since Galaxy.

I just ordered w/ overnight shipping off Newegg, worst case scenario is I get it by tuesday afternoon which was when I was planning on getting it anyways.

The card game is the best constant money maker. Play at the highest level and bet the most and just don't suck. If I had to average out my winnings I'd say that after a long run I'd be at around 20/21 over the 15 that gains you money.

I'm at the end now, just waiting for my wife to come home so I can finish up. It's the first game in a long, long time where she's been happy to sit and watch me play and really enjoyed following my adventures.

Spinner with the mutiple
750 a spin

you can get deep but keep going. once it starts heating up you can get 20-30k pots out of it.

went from 40-50k down to 30k up in about 40 min.
 
Question about online coop. what exactly is that? is that like online story coop or just doing side quests with a friend? I couldn't really find any information to it exactly.

You join your friend's world (or vice versa). And then progress through the story in that world.

EDIT: In other words, everything's the same, except that there's two people. Your friend gains EXP, money, renown (you can set the stats on how much he gains), and he can interact with all NPCs just like you can.

Just ordered Overnight Shipping from newegg. Waiting on my Fedex tracking #.
 
Does anyone know if your actions during co-op impact your single player game? If I'm an evil guy and I go rescue a bunch of princesses in my good two-shoes friend's game, does that change the karma for my character?

(I understand that money, EXP, and items will carry over.)

I thought you're no more than a help for the one in whose world you're going.

So, if you go into my world. Things will affect my world and me, and not you or your world.

I'm taking the plunge. Worst that can happen is I get the game the day of and have them refund my shipping amount for not being next day.
 
I would love to take advantage of Newegg but I dont have a credit card. I just wish Gamestop would start selling the game now that orders from Newegg are going out.

If you get good, Wizard's Tower tournaments are by far the most consistent. Keystone was the most lucrative though in my opinion. I usually played Tower until I got a good surplus and then went big for a while in Keystone.

My strategy in Keystone is put max amount down on the lower 2 on the arch and all of the 3 of a kind dice and then roll til I win. You go into debt usually unless you get lucky but when you win you get out of debt plus a lot more.
 
They just posted notice on their Fable 2 page that "Orders will arrive on release date 10/21".

People have claimed to receive some this morning I'm curious what will happen now.

Uh oh. :lol
 
I think the orders have been processed. I ended up getting my Halo order. If there was a doubt of receiving the item I believe they wouldn't be so confident as the ones who didn't receive Halo were told they were not receiving the item.

Here is my live chat log.

Chat InformationPlease wait while we connect you to a Newegg representative.

Chat InformationThank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Skylar. How may I assist you today?

Skylar: Hello, how can I help you?

Sanjuro: I'm just curious about the order I just placed. It now lists on the site that all orders will be received on 10/21 when previously that was not mentioned in the order. I also paid for overnight shipping and placed a call before hand asking if my order would be held. I'm just curious what this means for me?

Skylar: Your order was processed and shipped out for you. Here is the UPS tracking number: *************************.

Sanjuro: Is the package going to be held until the date of the 21st or will it arrive tomorrow or following day with the overnight shipping?

Skylar: The package is going to be shipped out today.

Skylar: So you would get it tomorrow with the overnight shipping. The package is not being held.

Sanjuro: Okay. So I should ignore the "Orders will arrive on release date 10/21"? I'm just curious because I have had this happen to me before.

Skylar: Once a tracking number is issued the package would go out. If the order could not be shipped out until that date the order would not have processed until then. We do apologize for the confusion.

Sanjuro: Thank you for the clarification.

Skylar: Do you have any other questions, or is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Sanjuro: No. That was my only question.

Skylar: Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Sanjuro: You as well.

So, I guess the game is pretty short if you have already almost finished it. I hope there are plenty of sidequests.

Thank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Maverick. How may I assist you today?

Jacob: Hey, I believe that you guys were shipping out copies of Fable 2 without realizing that it wasn't supposed to be released yet... About three hours after I submitted my order, your site updated to reflect that copies of the game will be received on its release date (10/21). My order status currently says "shipped," and I just wanted to check and be sure that I got in under whatever sort of cut-off occured; that the order wasn't still sitting in the warehouse, you know?

Maverick: Let me look into this for you. One moment please . . .

Jacob: Thank you.

Maverick: Thank you for holding, this order has shipped the item shipped this morning.

Maverick: You will receive an emailed confirmation shortly with the orders status.

Jacob: Thank you, Maverick.

Jacob: Thanks for your help. Have a nice day.

Maverick: Do you have any other questions, or is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Jacob: That was it.

Maverick: Thank you for contacting us. I hope you have an Eggcellent day!

Jacob: Lol, thanks, you too.

Hopefully my "emailed confirmation" "with the orders status" won't read as being held.

How long was it from when you placed your order to when you were e-mailed your UPS tracking number?

Sorry was making a joke at your Maverick rep. I didn't receive a email actually. The tracking number I have isn't hot yet but that is not uncommon. The item is now deactivated on their site so I do have a feeling they might have really dropped the ball. I placed my order around 9:30ish their time which is Pacific.

I placed mine at the same time. Keeping my fingers crossed, but I don't have a good feeling. :lol
 
Didn't you guys learn from the Halo 3 debacle with Newegg? :lol :lol :lol :lol

Now this thread is going to be shitted upon for 10 pages with summaries and emails of calls to newegg customer service and screen shots of tracking information.

I did learn from the Halo 3 Newegg debacle. I got the game early. :D
 
I was thinking of getting the LE, but as much as I love Lionhead, £10 extra for the scrapings from my shoe isn't good enough. All that in-game stuff will be up as DLC if anyone's desperate, anyway.
 
Finally got round to pre-ordering the LE. Had a £2 shopto.net voucher, so the LE from there was the same price (well, 99p difference -_-) as the regular edition from Game. Might have to see if I can find the original Fable going cheap to play this weekend... god, I loved that game.

Even if the sequel is just more of the same, I personally will be satisfied... but I know it will be even more. Can't wait :D
 
I did the newegg order a couple hours ago before the product was deactivated and the status on my order just changed to "shipped". I have a tracking number but it's not in the UPS system yet. If it works that's great, if not I've got a few other games that will keep me busy until next week.

Haha... dude, I still have some hope. We know some people got theirs shipped, and we technically got our orders in before the notice went up... so we'll just have to see.
 
This 15 hour talk scares me.

I want to want this game badly. Grinding gold to buy all the businesses in the game is not going to keep me coming back for more.

The 15 hour (I've also heard 12) talk, is supposed to be for if you go blazing through the story, doing nothing else, and basically just following the breadcrumb trail the whole time.

Yeah, I'm not worried at all. I put a ton of time into Mass Effect and I have friends that finished it in 1/4th of the time. That's the way open world games are these days.
 
Sanjuro, what's your status? Has your tracking # gone live yet?

Snack, if you want to, go into a customer service chat with your order number, and explain the situation and see what they say.
 
I should have picked this up when i picked up lbp today. Might go back tommorow. Too many good games this month.
