Just ordered it off of Play. Looks like a cracking game, enjoyed the first though it was a bit short. Anyone else going to get it?
Fable 2
- Thread starter Xander45
- Start date
Already got it. Haven't played it yet. It does look great, i'm geared up to play it. I'll probably start tomorrow.
Yep. Toss up between this, farcry and dead space and this wins hands down. Can not wait for this game, looks immense.
Already got it? How comes, i should be getting it tomorrow so i may have to get the day off work.
I've had it for a couple of days along with Far Cry 2. A few of the guys at my work download them from those invite only torrent sites ages before release. The joys of a modded Xbox. 
I was really disappointed when I heard when it was only being released on Xbox 360. Hopefully it'll be ported over by June/July 2009
It's a nice game. So many new games recently but I have spent 7-8 hours with it. Coop play is ace, I usually try to put the enemies on to my mate and then stand back and blast them with shock while he is busy dying

Not sure about that mate, Fable is like Microsoft's Zelda. They aren't going to send it over without a fight.
Are we creating duplicate threads for a specific reason here?
Duplicate? I couldn't find another thread. I apologise if there is.
There is one on the second page from james parkin. I have no mod powers in here mind, so we will have to rely on an admin to merge it...
Sorry my mistake, i normally only look at the first page of the forums. I tried the search but i must have glanced over it.
It's just a pet hate of mine, don't worry about it. My ranting about it however has probably made this forum the one with the least duplicate threads.
ahh hemming, you've had a shocker mate.
I never played the first one.. but I have heard great things about this one. I will have to buy this one, so is it worth the money?
Whoops, sorry, just deleted my thread. Can't bleieve i missed tihs one so easily.
I bought this yesterday after much anticipation. I never played hte first one but absolutely love RPG games. This game has not dissapointed so far. Fun combat system which doesnt seem too hard. Awesome co op system where you get payed(in game obviously) by the hour to play with your friends, and still level your character. the ability to interact with absolutely everyone in the Fable world.
I wasn't going to buy it but went ot big w on my way to buying dinner and saw it released earlier then it should be and couldn't resist. Hoping to knock as much out as i can before fallout 3 comes out. I don't like my chances. I also haven't picked fifa up since playing fable.

Considering around half of my xbox live friends list play this at the moment, it's strange that the 2 or 3 forums i visit regularly no one is talking about it at all.
The game is fantastic. People are complaining it's short, and in terms of the main story it seems that way, but since thursday i've spent about 10+ hours of it and haven't done much of the story at all (i assume)
I've just spent all my time buying properties and making money. I've also married the stylist, and been shagging Gemma the Housewife behind her back. I have had a brief corrupt spell as well, where i bought the pub, rasied selling prices by 100% and raised the rent on my houses by 100%. I like to think of myself as the Phil Mitchell of Albion.

AFter getting level 5 fire spell and being ble to shoot specific body parts fighting is so much easier. Also having an augment gem so i get health back almost every swing and make 50 gold a kill helps.
Went htrough crucible or hwatever it is and charged my level 5 fire spell at the start of every wave and needless to say i broke a few records :P

Level 5 fire but have your first 3 levels as time control spells works a beaut for me. What a feckin game this is, that dog is rad and really cleverly done. And any game where you can catch STD's, run around as a cross dresser and have everyone in the town refer to you as 'nobhead' has got to be special. My only problem is I have put on a fair bit of weight that I just can't lose and that damn entourage of people that latch on to you in every town is really annoying. Look gimps, I don't appreciate you walking into my house to tell me how wonderful I am when I am busy trying to seduce my wife into the sack.
This sounds very interesting. I'm going to take my broke FIFA09 disc to the store today to see if I can fix it, and I might just pick up Fable 2 while I'm there.
It's great mate, I managed to buy a fish stall on the cheap by sleeping with the owner. Go me. There is also a strong possibly I may well have fathered a child through a prostitute. Just hope the wife desn't have any holidays planned to the town of Westfield...
Get yourself some celery from the produce stalls, and there is a magic pie that should make you instantly thin.
I've eaten shit loads of celery but it hasn't helped, my character is just naturally big boned. Unfortunately every village I go to everyone always points it out, people can be so cruel. It's got to the stage where my wife will only sleep with me as it is a 'biological necessity' or something. Bitch. I may have to kill her soon.
This game sounds awesome. This stuff sounds like something you'd make up. You aren't, are you?
Nah it's all pretty much true, maybe not quite as seedy as I make out, but the game is a right laugh. Some of the side quests can be a bit repetitive but that's really the only downside so far. I seem to be finding it really hard to rack up money as well. Most of my mates seem to be loaded but after about 10 hours of game play, all my business investments have added up to is a pie stand, a fish stall and a gypsy caravan. I have, however, mastered the vulgar hipthrust expression which more than makes up for the fact that my lack of funds meant I had to fight in the crucible with nothing more than a rubbishy pirate sword that I fond in a rusty old chest.
It's times like this I wish console didn't exist and everything was on PC
It will appear on PC.

I wish that all the time, but I broke down and bought a 360 a few weeks ago. I've got two, soon to be three, games on it, and that won't go up a lot
I think i'm nearing the end of the main story. I've spent most of the time building a little empire and pleasing those bloody demon doors and shooting gargoyles, annoying scottish bastards.
The crucible is the best place to get exp as it's so easy to blitz through it with decent magic and the first prize for the shooting range. Class game, i love how bowerstone changes so dramatically based on what you did in your childhood. I've got one saintly character halo and all, and one uber evil character with a dog with red eyes. Becoming evil is so much easier than becoming good.

Tell me about it. Keeping my saintly image cost me about 10 000 experience points in the spire. Would have been easier just to kill bob and let those damn prisoners starve.
Xander do you know how you open those chests that previous heroes have left around Albion, like the one in the guild? They just say go to www.fable2.com to find out how to open them, but I can't se anything on that site. I want a decent weapon, my iron cutlass is getting me nowhere.
The chest in the guild is opened when you complete the mini games on fable2.com. You have to sign in on the website first. You don't get much, mainly a chicken suit and some tattoos. So its not really worth it. Sword wise buy the steel longsword from the bowerstone blacksmith for 3000 gold (attack 53 just so you know) if you've got it. That did me until i got some money together and bought the Master... well it's like a butcher's knife and kicks arse, bought that from the guy by the crucibel. Also do the shooting range that gun you win for first place is the tits.
Yeah, but I really want a chicken suit.
I rarely use the gun though, I much prefer hurling fireballs at people. Less damage than a flintlock, but just looks mint. To be honest I haven't used my sword in ages either. Cast a slow time spell, gives you enough time to heat up to a level 5 inferno without getting hit and watch as everyone within a 15foot radius is killed. Happy days. I have however found that you can not cheat the crucible by casting time slow spells, which is a bit gay.
Well, this is fecked up. I went to the store and bought the game. It works, but I can only see the bottom half of the text that appears at the top of the screen. You know, the text that tells you what to do. And for some stupid reason it's not possible to change crop settings in the game OR in the console settings. And apparently I can't do it with the TV either.
In other words, I can't play the game. I'll be taking it back tomorrow then, I guess.

I tried the slow time thing as well, lol didn't work but hey. So you're a will kinda person, fair enough i just enjoy blowing people's heads off. Vortex is my magic of choice, pick em all up and shoot them as they spin around me. I need to get some more properties though i wanna be making some big dough. I think i own everything in Oakfield bar the temple, and most of bowerstone market. but without being corrupt you don't get that much from each one.
How did you afford all that though? You don't seem to get that much money from actual quests and I can't find the augments that give you cash for killing enemies. The only real money I made was when I became a level 5 blacksmith but I spent all that money on nice a new house for the wife to make up for my previous acts of adultery
I brought 20k over from pub games, and bought the pub in Oakfield. I also bought all the little stalls around bowerstone from working the blacksmith. I didn't play for about a day and when i came back i had about 30k. Bought some more shops and shit and now get about 3k every few minutes. Every now and then buy more shops and houses. Also selling old weapons and duplicate clothes helped me through at the beginning.
A good tip is to buy all the caravans at the gypsy camp. They're cheap and give a couple of hundred after you've got them all.
So I was right in thinking the stalls you own generate money evern if your 360 is turned off? Does time also move forward if your console is switched off? What if you are paying out more in housekeep to your missus than you are getting in from your shops- can you go into debt or summit?
Time doesn't seem to move forward. I'm paying 600 a day to my wifes, lol. and making like i said about 3k every few minutes. You can go into debt, mainly through the pub games, not sure if you can any other way. Just buy up all the little stalls and the caravans at the gypsy camp, and if you're far enough in buy the caravans outside westcliff. Then watch the money roll in. I can't wait for when i get a new game and don't play for a while, turn on the game and have a couple of million in the bank.
Well I'm at Oakfield, just got out of the spire (pretty gutted I didn't have 10 years worth of money when I got out of there!) So I think I should definitely have quite a bit of money by now...
Regarding my problem (it only shows the lower half of the writing on the top half of the screen, the rest is hidden by, well, the physical end of the TV).. is that a game breaker, like I think it is? I noticed it when I clicked on a sign. I could miss a sign without that meaning I can't play the game, but if every important game info comes there... then I either have to return the game or find the money to buy the new monitor I was going to in a few months anyway.
