whats the best out of them and how do you get it?

I say just go for all 5 (you get 2 at a time except for the hero doll). Just choose different choices each play through. Make sure you are logged in at xbox.com though.

Well about to press start and head into Albion for the first time.

EDIT: Just noticed that there is a Chinese language option. Anyone played the game that way just to see how the voice actors are? Never heard Chinese voice actors in any game.

I did the stupid wood chopping for like a half hour and bought two houses for 18 income :lol :lol

fuck me

Dude---it's 18 every 5 minutes. Time for you to retire.

Seriously, it adds up. Keep doing it. You can always turn around and sell off the properties, and usually for a profit.
 
I have it up to 71 income now. I've been at the blacksmith minigame for like two hours :\

Want to do it with the wifey but she won't do it out in the open
 
Holy crap, picked up my pre-order at BB, and was handed an LE without any 48-hour stickers but noticed a small stack with the sticker sitting behind the customer service counter. I sounded like I had a tinfoil hat on asking to replace my copy with one of them, but thankfully it has the codes inside.

Sad to know there is possibly half the stock without those codes right there next to the good ones.
 
They totally nailed the tone for this game. The graphics are beautiful. Music is mesmerizing. Exploring is fun. There are a crap load of stats, and the world economy thing is great. I havent left the lake area yet. I hope there is some nice variety to this game.

I just dug up a condom out of the ground. I wonder if it's still good? :lol

:lol , I was kinda freaked out when I found that too.
 
Everyone complaining about Fable II not being seamless and comparing it to GTA4 and Oblivion don't seem to understand why GTA and Oblivion were able to be seamless. There was nothing especially impressive about the seamless nature of GTA4 and Oblivion. The first PS2 Grand Theft Auto was seamless and so was Morrowind before Oblivion. These games accomplish having a seamless world by sacrificing diversity.

Grand Theft Auto IV was just one huge city that used the same textures throughout the city for the most part and there were only like 10 unique interiors in the entire game.

Oblivion was just one big world split into segments that required frequent, yet very brief loading times. Even splitting it up like they did, the whole world, while fairly large, was also largely the same. Most towns and interiors looked exactly the same and honestly it felt like one huge copy+paste job.

I've only put a few hours into Fable II so far, but I would gladly take the diversity in environments it seems to offer over having a seemless, yet largely recycled, world. Personally the loading times bother me very little and the atmosphere of the environments more than makes up for any immersion that is lost because of them.
 
So pages in this thread from 41 thru 49 are bitch fests about the coop and pages 1-40 are about the awesome game we have and pages 50 on up (so far) are also about a great game...nice....so if we can just delete those pages...

I also liked this thread more when it was just the few of us that had the game....but luckily, the balance in the force has returned and we are talking about the "MAIN PART OF THE GAME" again.

Whenever I leave it's always so fun to catch up in this thread. The stories of people's experiences are fantastic.:lol

That's one of the huge triumphs of Fable 2. Everybody is bound to have a very different experience, which is wonderful for a role-playing game and sadly can't be said about all of them.
 
Can anyone confirm that if you "GIFT" items to people (Orbs) friends or non friends that as the receiving party you have no choice and you just magically receive the item? I know someone mentioned something, but I have not heard of anything else on it. I ran accross some players that have a ton of cash and if someone were to gift over a shit load of money, it would kind of ruin the game because you "have to" take it....I guess you could be a dick and just 'pay it forward' to some unsuspecting person so it does not ruin your own economy.
 
Should I sell the Potion of Life(5 stars) that I found at the beginning of the game?
I don't really need it do i?
those 2200 gold look really tempting.

Beautiful game. I'm getting used to the voice acting. Compared to Tales of Vesperia,
these actors feel like they are speaking strait into the mic.


Also, i didn't see any defense stats on clothing. is clothing just for looks? if so,
I can run around naked(more often i mean)?

Exactly. That's why I'm dying to play this game. I received it today from Amazon, but I can't play it yet since my 360 arrives tomorrow from the repair center. At least my cards were inside the case for the LE extras, and I dig that new game case smell since that's all I can do so far. Oh the pain....
 
I picked up the game today, have played maybe 5 hours.

I hated Fable 1. Just thought it's story was cliched shit, and its maps and missions hopelessly linear. It didn't help that I had just come off Morrowind.

But all that has completely changed in the sequel. It's still not a completely open world but it is anything but linear with tons of branching paths and large areas. This becomes aparent when you are following the "golden trail" and you look all around and see all these other places to go that have no relation to your current quest. And it makes up for not having a Bethesda-style open world by feeling much more crafted and dense with things to do. It's an excellent balance between non-linear and crafted gameplay.

The first Demon Door (not a spoiler don't worry) I found was simply awesome, the style, the animation, the sound, the graphics all just combine to make something really entertaining that will suck you in for hours. It almost reminded me of a fantastical Jim-Henson style inspired world. Certain areas of the game (like Oakfield) have just amazing graphics. I must have just run around in the fields watching all the individual flowers pushed out my way for several minutes. Just running in circles to watch. That's how good it looks.

Combat is fun, but simple. At least so far as I haven't progressed enough to do gun targeting or different levels of magic skills. But even at early levels it's fun as you can so easily combine multiple talents in a single fight.

Molyneux wasn't fucking around when he said you can buy anything in the game. Every building seems to have a deed posted to it that allows you to see a breakdown of it's costs. I already have my eye on a great little open-air pub in Oakfield.

The story is also less cliched that the first one. It's still based around revenge, but it seems like they put a lot more effort into crafting something resembling a uniqueness. Kinda hard to talk about without spoilers, but suffice it to say it's much improved.

The context-sensitive controls are a mixed bag. Sometimes they can be really cool allowing you to do things without entering traditional menues, but other times it can be hard to get the right prompts up and you have to shuffle about a bit.

The dog is fantastic. For instance, one time I was running about and noticed he was missing. I thought what most gamers would probably think at this: "shit, he's probably glitched onto something and stuck." Instead when I doubled back I found he had been injured in the fight and for some damn reason I felt like an ass. Immediately was attached to him after that. Though I think some people might have just kept running thinking he would glitch back and then be confused when they no longer had a dog. Don't know what the steps are to reclaim him.
I'm astounded at the amount of buried treasure around, and in finding it he is obviously your only tool, so in this way the game encourages you to take care of him and teach him new abilities that give you direct benefit.
He acts as a kind of autonomous radar, barking to alerting you to whats around. The lack of direct controls makes him feel more like a companion than a software robot you control.

So in the first five hours, with little new equipment, no real diving into the economy, and not even having a level 2 spell, the game already feels massive and awesome.
 
I bought this game on a whim this morning while going out to get some coffee. So I am playing this game with a completely open mind and taking it for what it is as I play. So far I am loving it. I love the voice acting in the game because it makes the game very warm and inviting. They also did a great job on the dog. I love having him(her?) around.

I highly recommend people go exploring away from the gold line as there is much treasure to find and beautiful scenery to see.

If I'm not mistaken, that potion gives you a permanent increase to your health bar. Those are in short supply, so I'd think twice about selling it, especially since 2200 seems like a lot now, but you'd gladly pay 22,000 for one of those potions later.
 
Just picked this up at Circuit City with the free $15 iTunes gift card. What a great deal that is, I was surprised they even had any left.

Feeling a little too sick at the moment to play it but I'm laughing at all these different experiences, sounds like a blast.

Are there any other critical items you get towards the beginning that would be dumb to sell off?
 
Love the voice acting, and the whole game except the orbs when turned on to anyone ruins it with all the American accents -_- (and in general idiots).

Ok...That was really fucking funny...I have read that over a few times and keep laughing at his assumptions of anal sex...classic...just classic! :lol :lol

I'm a hoarder, so I don't like selling anything. Having said that, other than potions (XP, Skill, Will, Strength, and all the 'java' types), and books that give you expressions or dog abilities, there isn't anything you won't run across later. There aren't many unique items in the game.
 
A kid just passed me and said "Hey Master Chief, are you going to save the world again" What the poor child doesn't know, is that as soon as I get all my magic I will come back and kill everyone in that village Voldemort style:lol :lol
 
OK... I haven't checked the entire thread, but has anyone else donned the LE Spartan outfit (or "Hal's" stuff) and used the flash site's 'apocalyptic pink dye' on it? I'm a barbie pink spartan and I couldn't be happier!

Y2Kev I dunno if this is your problem but you need to go click on the bed when the girl says she wants to have sex. Then it'll ask if you want to go protected or unprotected.
 
The game is fantastic. The art, the voice acting, the story, character development, world design are all polished as fuck. The dog is a wonderful touch.

People not picking this up based on some shortcomings with co-op are batshit insane.
