Official Fable II Thread

Aw, man... Lucky you with your review copies, Caspel. :) Can you give us more in-depth impressions once you progress a bit further, though? I mean - how's the atmosphere, the gameplay, the story ( so far -- without spoilers, of course! ), and so on...?

Is it longer than 5 hours?
Is it really really linear?
Are there things to do after you beat the game, and are there incentives to play through more than once besides just being super good instead of super evil?
Are shades of grey in the morality scale or is it still better to be all the way over on one end or the other?

Yes.
No.
Yes.
It's no longer just good and evil, there's also pure and corrupt. So you can mix it up a bit.

In the box, there is a card with the download code that you redeem at the marketplace to download the bonus content.

Fuuuck, mine didn't have a card in it. I better not be screwed out of the bonus crap.

Game is crack. So much to do. Is there a play time timer? Wanna see how much of my life i've wasted so far.
I hope so..., can anyone confirm, I hate not knowing for some reason!?

OK. Let's say you're the kind of guy that goes around rescuing people, slaying evil monsters, saving the day etc. However, you're also a wealthy git who is regularly drunk, charges high rent, and never gives gifts. In this case, you'd be good but corrupt.

I just went and did the flash game and obtained the items after saving in the room and logging back into my account. You did it with your gamertag logged in on the web site?

Hmm... well I figured out how you're supposed to do it. After playing the flash game while signed into my account on Xbox Live, I
returned to the chest in the Hall of Heroes near the teleporter, and that chest had the rewards from the flash game AND the collectors item extra items.

I need advice on this game guys, I played the first Fable on the PC, but didn't get addicted to it and ended not playing nevermore, despite liking the medieval setting, but I felt that something wasn't totally right, maybe the combat, maybe the quests, I'm not sure what I was, but the game was soon abandoned.

But now Fable 2 is out, and it looks very nice, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if I didn't liked the first part at all, It's a better game? What are the most notable improvements? Anyone didn't liked the first and is loving this one ?

Thx for the answers.

So in a way, Fable 2 is the anti Fable. Good to hear.

Fable is pretty limited in what you can do.
 
Holy shit, I honestly can't believe it. One of my brother's friends somehow convinced the lady at blockbuster that Fable II was supposed to be out today. He got it from them and brought it to my house. I have been playing it for the past two hours and all I can say is that this game is amazing. I never played the first one for more than an hour, but this one is just great. The combat flows fluently and there is a bunch to do. Oh yeah, I thought that the line that points to where you go would be annoying but it isn't. It just helps you from getting lost and if you just slightly wonder off the path a bunch of treasure is just waiting.

Oh, neat. I like that.

It tell you on your stats page, but it's in seconds so you have to divide by 60 twice. :lol
 
This is a silly question, but how do you have sex with people? I married a girl, bought a house, made it a marital home, tell her to follow me to the bed, but then my only option is to sleep for X amount of time. I even have condoms too. Help me get laid, GAF! Don't make me post this in Off-Topic.
 
So can you play the flash game multiple times and have all the items? Or just one item from the game appears?

:lol

Taken out of context, this would be kinda funny.
 
To the people who have the game, if you could give us some updated Impressions on the Story, Combat, leveling up, whatever, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

Damnit! This thread is depressing. Seems like as we go on, more and more people are getting it - making the wait that much longer. :(

Indeed, eh, just a couple of days left until the midnight launch I'll make it, but these impressions are killer.

So how do the orbs work? Do you see orbs of everyone who owns the game?

Everyone playing the game and connected to LIVE will be sending data of their actions to a server, and data from up to 64 players is filtered from that server back to your game.
There are various ways to filter what orbs appear in your world, such as showing only people from your friends list, or random folks etc.
 
Just got my first "disc is dirty/unreadable" message. Disc went straight from the case to my Xbox, so I know it isn't dirty. I lost about 45 minutes of gameplay. But at least now I know - save every fifteen seconds.

Uh what flash game are you talking about and what are the bonus items?

Ah yes, that one got me too. I vote his and the post below for "posts of the day". :lol

Is the good/evil system deeper than in the first game? In Fable you could completely revert your alignment which made the entire experience feel cheap.
 
I just got the game and I'm pretty upset at how same-screen co-op is set up. The second character is basically useless outside of combat - he has no inventory, he can't pick up loot, he can't really do anything except fight and follow the other dude around. Anyone know if it's different when playing co-op over Live?

Most likely. The second character (unless its another profile on the 360) is just supposed to be a henchman/woman.

Live is probably just like playing PSO or something.

The only reason I could see for them doing this is so they sell more copies. They figure if both people have full functionality they're losing sales.

The henchman position is officially reserved for your girlfriend or someone that's not too into games. Anyone else is gonna feel disappointed when you hand them that second controller.
 
I like how he asked FIRST about being fat, and then about curing his STD afterward, like it was less important. :lol :lol
 
Basically I've been just sleeping and eating veggies but still fat as hell. My body has sores all over. I have flies around me. Keep drinking potions to cure, don't work. I have evil raccoon eyes.

I was the fucking hero. This is how these fucks repay me...

Wow, who did you catch it from? I hope you killed the bitch.

Kinky bisexual barmaid at the pub. I thought she would be the one.

I look like Vincent D'Onofrio moments before offing the drill instructor.
