Official Fable II Thread

Missing 2 gargoyles, one of which is in Fairfax Gardens. I still can't get into that large building at the end of the main path. Is that something that opens up for me if I beat the game?

On the Archaeologist quest, the letter says I need to go to a cave on a beach in a region where I've already found another artifact, but I can't seem to find that. Or more accurately, my dog doesn't seem to pick up the trail no matter what region I go to.

I think I'm on that one too. I can't find it either.
 
Is the gargoyle quest worth it?
What do you get at the end of it?

also, I hear one somewhere outside the furniture shop but cant find, where is the sucker

lol, that one drove me crazy. Go into the furniture shop, up the stairs to the top. Go to the front room and turn around. He's there above the door.
 
so just played for about 3 hours doing side missions. took a side mission to free the slaves and when went from one path to another and the load screen tried to pop up it went to a black screen and froze.

that sucks. hopefully i did something that triggered an auto save not to far back because otherwise redoing 3 hours of junk is just plain ass.




anyone know if this is a known FREEZING ISSUE ??

should i not reattempt this mission again?

But there doesn't seem to be a way to have more than one save per character.

Make the choice you don't want to stick with, get the achievement, reboot the Xbox. You will only have to play through about a minute of the end of the game then make another choice, get the achievement, reboot. Then make the choice you want to stick with. The game doesn't save until the end of the credits.
 
Is that James Cordon doing the voice acting of the fat man who tries to serenade the girl on the balcony early on when you're a child?

God! Thank you! That was the first one I tried to find forever. I thought I had found him when I shot the one by the river side, but when I heard him again I thought "What? There's two??"

I liked the one hiding outside the window of the Brightwood Tower. Shame I had to destroy a window to get him after I spent all that money for the place.

As for the Archaeologist, I found this on GameFAQ's. Seems to be the only correct sounding one:

1. Bowerstone Old Town
2. Rookridge
3. Bowerstone Cemetery

After the Spire:
4. Oakfield (near the temple of light)
5. Bower Lake (in the gypsy camp)
6. Brightwood (south of the tower, by the pond)
7. Bandit Coast
8. Westcliff
9. Gemstone Grotto

After Lucien
(Can be done without the dog)
10. Wraithmarsh
11. Bloodstone
12. Guild Cave
13. Reaver's Rear Passage

No time to try it so let me know if it works.
 
I'd love some suggestions on how to more quickly make money. I have 120k, and I'd like to buy the big ticket homes such as
Castle Fairfax, Brightwood Tower, Reaver's place, Bowerstone Cemetary Mansion
.

Is it just a matter of investing wisely? If so, am I right to want to invest in bars rather than buying up a mess of houses and shops?

I'd like to avoid fiddling with the system date. I want to earn the money, but I feel like I'm missing out on a way to make earning money less time consuming.

Currently I am using the Wreckager, which some with an augmentation that gives you 50 gold for each kill. As such, beetles have become my favorite target. I've been running through the Crucible thinking that would really help me boost my bank roll, but I earned about 20k though one run, including picking up all the pots of gold throughout.

Oh, and speaking of the Crucible, aren't you supposed to get Mad Dog's weapon if you have at least five perfect rounds? I've gotten seven perfect rounds, and I don't seem to get any reward. Do you have to get the perfect round on the first Crucible run?
 
The area in stats where it tells you the region and your status (Famous, etc) has all disappeared on me... They are all just, blank now :/

When you start a family and look at there stats does it matter if it says your wife wants sex? It seems glitchy when you try to prompt said activity.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying how this works.

If you wife wants sex, giving her sex helps to keep her happiness level up, especially if you go for long stretches without returning home.

But, after your get married, you need the "come back to my place" expression in order to do the deed. Which is weird because at no point in the game did I see that explained (thank you for explaining this, GAF!), and as the game reminds you time after time, you can give the thumbs up to accept a proposition. Well, you'd think your wife saying that she's frisky or that she wants to rip your clothes off would count as a proposition, but I guess not.

Anyway, go to the book store in Bowerstone and buy the book to get the expression you need. I forget the name of the book, but you don't need to buy all of the books pretaining to marriage. Most of them do not give you new expressions, anyway.
 
ah shit.
i didn't think about losing my dog at the end when i chose sacrifice and now i can't finish some of the quests like the archeology one, can i?

I've had sex with my spouse without the "come back to my place" expression, but it's much easier if you have it, otherwise you have to wait for her to prompt you and then get her to follow you to the bed, and even then it sometimes is hard to get it to work.

Obvious Viagara jokes incoming.

Need all 8 perfect rounds for the weapon.

That's 100% evil and 100% pure. Corruption = flies, Purity = halo, Good = beautiful, Evil = demonic.

No. My character was evil and pure for a while. He had no horns, just dark skin and red eyes. Only going towards corruption gave him horns.

You can.
The Golden Trail leads you there, once you're in the correct zone.

So for the Ruler Achievement... youneed to get your real estate worth up to 2.5 M or $ from Real Estate to $2.5 M???
Click to expand...

i believe it's real estate worth, and i think you can't do this before you finish the main quest. not 100% certain though.
 
This game makes my X360 sound really loud, and the framerate seems to be kinda low (?) :/

Either way, it's a pretty good game.

It's not about investing wisely but to just keep investing. own everything. that 120k in your pocket is just sitting there unused. make it a point that when you have a decent amount of money, go back to a town and keep buying property, any will do.

The more property the more rent or sales you will get. They really add up when you're talking about lots of houses and small shops. Before starting the main quest in bowerstone, I did smithing and random stuff until I owned every shop and house. by the time i left the town, I got around 7k+ every 5 mins from it. I think 4.3k was from businesses and the rest from rent. So houses are worth it. You can easily make that 120k back at those rates.

Try this:
1. go to bowerstone, buy as many businesses as you can, don't be picky.
2. if you have any money left over, buy houses. get the expensive ones first, but get them all.
3. buy everything the same way in old bowerstone.
4. when you run out of money to buy things, just go questing or hunting for a while so that the money racks up, come back and buy again.
5. You can keep rents/rates the same(that's what I did), it still brings in decent amount of money.

Once you are done owning an entire town, do the same to the next, like oakfield, etc..
But yeah, keep buying until you can't buy no more. it makes questing that much more fun because while you're out there, you're making a lot of money too!

Thanks for the advice!

Now, I guess my next question should be: is there any purpose to owning all of the property in the game, or is it just for the sake of being a completionist? I'd love for the game to open up new quests based on whether or not you own certain key pieces of property, but I feel like that's probably not how it works.

One more question for now. After you beat the game, you receive
a letter from your sister, who mentions being in a forest and that she will see you again.
Now, a simple yes or now will probably do the job, but can you actually meet up with
your sister again
after you beat the game?

I just want to know if it's possible, not the details about how to do it.

Are you talking about Castle Fairfax? You need to buy it.

Well it's not about being a completionists but more about getting more $/min. Simply put, the more you own, the more you'll accumulate over time. And for those big ticket items, you will really need this. For example, lets say you only bought all the bowerstone stores. That brings you 4.3k/5mins. By not buying houses, you're missing on about 2.7k/5mins. After several hours of questing and going through the storyline, the difference really adds up on what you could have had.

Right now I just got to bloodstone, bought all the property in all the towns up until that point, and I still have 2m to spend. I'm getting around 15k+/5mins, so like 180k an hr for just being in the game? When I turned on the game yesterday I got 100k for being offline. That's just with basic prices. I'm sure a lot of gaffers are doing way better than me by raising the rents and prices.

It's really helpful to have all that money come in too. I go to the potion trader and buy all of their xp,will,strenght,skill points as often as I can and it doesn't hurt the pocket book.

edit: -_-. I don't think i read your question correctly the first time. I think one of the notices in the loading screen says that if you buy enough property you can become queen or king! Not bad. Wonder if there is a castle for that.
 
Well, I'm sort of at the point where I really want to get more out of Fable 2, but I don't want to spend time trying to earn enough money to buy certain property with no real purpose. Sure, I could own the property and be able to move into it (though someone seemed to have a problem with that, so maybe I can't). But if the end game of all my real estate pursuits is owning real estate, then there's no real reason for me to put forth the effort.

Aside from buying more property and items, I guess there's not really a need for a lot of cash, right? I've beaten the game, how much cash do I really need? To buy property, sure, but I've already addressed that. Am I missing out on some cool weapons? Are there other things I'm overlooking?

To me, I'm thinking the best case scenario is that you can become the king (in my case), whatever that really means, and then I can go from the white bread wholesome servant of the light to the harbinger of death and destruction. Sort of a resurrection of Lucien, I guess, but more just to squeeze some new fun out of the game.

But there's probably not really any greater point to the game. Unless becoming completely evil makes a huge impact on the game. And I don't mean my character's appearance. Although, it would be good if that did change, since I basically look like Kenny Rogers at this point.

No, I don't think so. I seem to remember getting the quest to buy the castle after I completed the game.

Yeah, buying the castle is actually a quest unto itself.
 
I fucking love Peter Molyneux. I loved him when he made Populous. I loved him when he made Dungeon Keeper. I loved him when he made Black & White. Fuck all ye haters. If everyone had the man's passion and ambition the world would be a better place. Yes indeed. He's worth the praise just for the internet meltdowns he creates!

Is there a Molyneux defense force around here I can join?
 
The whole 'earn money while the system is off' thing is awesome. Nothing like going to work and knowing that I'll be able to buy a bunch of new businesses when I get home. By the time I get around to actually playing this weekend hopefully I'll have made a fair dent in the real estate market.

How is it possible to beat the last round of the Crucible in the allotted time? D:

Buy the Slow Time spell and cast it right next top him (you'll probably want it to be level 2 or 3). Then you should be able to circle around and get the hard to reach points on his arms and back.

I did it with the legendary pistol you get from the shooting range in Westcliff with about 20-30 seconds to spare.

There's no need for one anymore. The man made Fable 2. He's more than redeemed himself for any of his past transgressions.
 
This is the best Molyneux game imo by far.

Btw, when you finish the game can you still do any sidequest and achievements left or does the game end?
