Ghost said:theres some good stuff in those chests, one had a health augmentation (obvious benefits), not that useful you might think with the millions of health potions available, except it was worth 50000 gold to the north bowerstone shop
I think the main problem is that when I found those chests I didn't have enough keys to open them. Now that I have 13 or 14 keys I just teleport everywhere so I don't see the chests. I'm sure I'll go back and get them all, but right now I'm too busy running my hometown. I've become a real estate tycoon.

ahhh...
Sorry didn't see your thief comment....
I just ran up to the big rock right outside the gates (or could be a tree Nyquill makes me see things) wait for the third guard to walk past, he's a bit of a stragler. Then go in. That is IIRC

Probally I didn notice after I killed him I got good points then when the mission ended I got a bunch of bad points.
Great Wasabi Man said:
What? You did? I wonder how that happened? I don't recall getting any bad points for it, but all that stuff flashes up onscreen so fast I can never tell. Some of the killing is so arbitrary. Like Whisper is a bandit half the time you see her. Does that mean killing her on the Arena is a good thing or a bad thing? Or are we supposed to believe she's turned a new leaf, and spare her? Or perhaps hang onto sentimentality? Crazy shit, this game. Love it, though.

Scars are fucking annoying. I realize I tweak my characters appearance too much, but it's not cool to have multiple disfiguring scars, including one that spans from my left check and goes diagonally up to just under my right eye.
Either way, I take back what I said about the difficulty, in part at least. I've gotten a fair few ass kickings lately.
Totally forcing my character into the upper two "Skill" selections (Speed and Accuracy, although I toss a little physique in there too to add a little to my axe skill, thus completing my FFXI-style Ranger) has left my character quite frail, and forced to take on every task with the bow (longbow, Christ I hate the crossbows.)
Which of course, has started to take their toll on me, especially with all the loud mouthed boasting I do.

I read some spoilers, but personally I don't care, just wondering, do you really get a chance to kill Whisper later on? I'm playing a complete saint morality wise (going against all my pre-game claims, blah), but I HATE WHISPER.

I just failed that mission early tonight. I fucking stomped everything until I got to the damn entrance and that dumb kid got killed as I was about to head out. Apparently one hobbe got past me and killed the stupid little fucker. I retried it, and I got to the chamber, but I didn't have that stupid key to open the door! WTF? The quest is still listed there, but I don't have the key now? I guess I had to go back to the old woman at the Orchard, but I didn't feel like doing the quest anymore.
Then I went into Oakvale again, got me a wife, and finally got me some lovin'. Twice.
4 hours in, and i've only done 1 quest, im just exploring the world watching villigers daily routines and generally trying to take in "Albion".
Got to say, the night/day cycles are just so beautiful. Best sunrise ive seen, i was walking through the forrest when the sun just out and cast its light upon the world. The mist clears and the butterflys start fluttering. Watching the sun go down at the peer, with the ambiant sound FX adding to the atmosphere, small detail, but very, very effective. Now, im off to buy a house and some armour and clothes (groups of villigers gathered around me and started pointing at me while laughing at my attire ), gonna try out my second quest.
Im hooked on the card game in the tavern, lost 100 gold on that fooking game.

I beat it being evil and well...ok 13 hours and I missesd a bunch of stuff. I started my good guy path and noticed that when you start out on your quests there are 3 other missions that you can't select cause you not famous enough yet. But after you finish the frist mission the other 3 disappear....how do I do those missions?
Whoever said that last boss was really easy, well...let's say I didn't find it to be that way.
My guy was a pure melee character, and it made it little tough when I had to use arrows, while being hit by three guys and all those fucking beam weapons. A very satisfying and long battle for me, had to use a few resurection vials. Also, you can continue the game after you beat the guy.

It still shouldn't be a problem...
Hold L trigger to target him plus left or right to constantly strafe. Hold X to charge a shot, and then when he fires the wave of energy, release X just before it gets to you and then hit Y to roll to the side. The wave will miss. When he fires the balls of energy, do the same and the balls will fly over you (you have to roll at the last second). When he sends the guys out after you just keep doing the same thing. I ignored them completely and they never hit me. Easy. It might take you longer do to hitting for less damage, but that's it.

damn I really liked the snow area
I got Fable yesterday and I've played it for like 2-2.5 hours and I'm having fun so far... but I have a question too. When you load an auto-saved game, why does it save the game again (after its done loading and before you actually do anything)? I can't see any point to this (other than to make me wait an extra 10 seconds)... is there a point to it? Or is it just a sign of the devs being lazy?
Ghost said:
I beat it last night. It's quite easy. All you have to do is block and as soon as he punches, roll to the side and wait for a small amount of time in case he decides to throw another punch, then you hit him. Rinse and repeat.
The whole fight club was quite cool. I really love the detail in the game, and the living world within it. While the main quest is short, I am at hour 26, own about 80% of Oakville, have more than 40 people in love with me, and still haven't beaten the game (quite close to beating it though.)

a) Roll around his 1-2 combos with L-targeting and punch him in the back of the head.Ghost said:
b) You should now have a flourish, strafe around him as he's getting up and time the flourish so that you hit him in the back without him having a chance to strike. Repeat.
I just beat the game and...

the ending was horrible! After I killed my sister all I got was a 5 second cutscene and BAM the credits are rolling. And are there no quests at the guild after the game is completed? And speaking of the side quest, how many are there 10?

^ Yes it was. It was a goddamn joke. Four years and that's all they could come up with?
Might as well warn everyone who hasn't finished it yet to complete all your quests before you beat the game because you won't have the opportunity to do them afterward.
The longer I play this game the more pissed off I get at it (or at Lionhead, I should say).
