Fable II - Gen Discussion & Info

is it the same process for the Fable2.com winnings? I still haven't gotten the Feign Death expression and it is one of the few items I need for the Completionist achievement...I wish you could just get all achievements by getting the game, not having to worry about doing other stuff not part of the game.
 
[quote name='Jesse_Dylan']How about if you copy your save to a memory unit before hand? Does that work?

I almost would like it if it's impossible to cheat, because I want an excuse to play again.[/QUOTE]
I tried copying my save WAY before I even started my final quest and it wouldn't allow me to....I didn't even know about the 3 paths i could go
 
Am I missing something with some of the harder battles (i.e. Brightwood Tower)? It seems there are only two viable strategies. One is constantly spam the time freeze with another spell, the other is to just get your ass kicked and spam food/potions.

I prefer Force Push (lvl 3) + Shock (lvl 5) + Rifle :)
 
I think I did a lv 5 fire and then ran back and just started head shooting with my crossbow

You get your fable2.com winnin's in the hero's guild cave thing (can't remember what it's called, but it's where you always go to meet Teresa). It's all in a chest on the other side of the center meeting area. I hoep that made sense, even reading it back, it seems very vague.
 
Must admit, it's quite satisfying charging up a level 5 spell and unleashing it :D By the way...
I just helped the Bandit's kill Giles but i can't figure out how to buy his home so i can open that door down in the cellar...help?

Getting off a level 5 spell is always satisfying, but it's kind of annoying it takes so long, I almost always have to let off a level 3 or 4 spell instead of charging up to level 5 and taking multiple hits.

I have mine setup so that levels 1, 2, and 3 are Force Push and levels 4 and 5 are Shock. I'm probably going to change level 1 to the Raising Undead spell or whatever it's called. But so far, Force Push for the first 3 levels has been working really well for me.
 
Is there any way to counteract the physical effects on your character using magic? I'm really, really early on so I'm not getting into heavy-duty magic use, but I don't want blue veins covering my character.

thanks for reminding me about that place. Thank you, I would've waited forever to get those if it wasn't for you!

Well once you've killed him you can't buy his house anymore. You have to go dig up the key from his grave or something I'm not sure cause I helped Giles kill the bandits =P
 
[quote name='SteveMcQ']Is that website with the in-game items still active? If so does someone have the link?[/quote]

They kind of have to keep that site going. It's the only way you can get Dollcatcher (aka, the stupidest achievement in the game).
 
[quote name='KingBroly']They kind of have to keep that site going. It's the only way you can get Dollcatcher (aka, the stupidest achievement in the game).[/quote]

Actually it helps to get the Completionist achievement because of the "Feign Death" expression. You could trade for the dolls, but not for the one use expression (unless people don't want the expression)

See, i was going to try and slay the bandits while they thought i was going to help them but that didn't happen. Do you know where his grave is? I assume my dog would have found the 'Dig Spot' by now :(
 
[quote name='blueweltall']Anybody got their LE code yet?[/quote]
Nope, still waiting. I'm starting to wonder if they are going to hit their 10 day target.

This isn't quite a spoiler... but I noticed in that area you're talking about the dog often gets scared. Make sure you give it a treat/encouragement and explore around
the back of the dead guys farm
until it finds where to go.

Also, there are more than 50 keys in the game (I finished with 51 somehow) so don't lose hope if you can't get it.
 
Well I finally have time to get to this game...too many great games last month. I have to say I'm enjoying this just as much as any of the other GOTY candidates. I have one major gripe so far, and that is the maps. It seems like other people feel the same way, I just wish it was a little easier to see and that you could move a cursor around on it and just pick where you wanted to travel. Anyways to my question, how the hell do you lose weight? I've had a few beers and my hero just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I've worked all through the night chopping wood and no weight is gone. I want to be a slim handsome looking devil. How do I shed these pounds?

Yea apparently doing exercise does nothing, running/chopping wood, so I'd say go for healthy foods. Theres a special pie that makes you thinner too.

Yep, eat celery, or anything else with the "thin" characteristic or a negative fat characteristic, and stop drinking so much beer, tubby.
 
Any word on a patch to fix the glitch with the Crucible? I posted a few pages back that I beat it on my main game and was teleported outside where I am no longer able to move. I can access my inventory and teleport to other cities, but once there, I can't move at all.

WHat what what?! What's the glitch with the crucible? I don't think I heard about this one, I did hear about the one with the Abbot. I'm RIGHT at the crucible and was planning on getting into that tonight.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']how do you lose weight.. my guys getting fat lol[/quote]

Check the descriptions on the foods. Some give you -5% fat which will make you thinner. Most of these are at produce stalls. If you played the XBLA pub games and got all the unique items there's a pie that gives -90% fat which would put you back to your original size instantly.

I did the Crucible for the 3rd time, post Spire, and after completing it, I was teleported out like normal. After that, I haven't been able to move or anything. And it appears I am stuck, unless there is a patch or something.

I am just glad I had already started a new game before that point. Just sucks as I am now playing through as a good/nice guy, instead of a badass murderer.
 
I have to say this game sucks online. You both have to be on screen so if you want to go some place and the other player does not your jwf. Also It would not let me play as my character. I had a choice of good, evil and neutral male and female characters online. With the amount this game crashes and the fact that online sucks I think I'm done with it. Atleast for now. I might pick it up again in a few months but this is just sad at how bad this game came out.
 
[quote name='Cleaner7']Still no LE code and today is Day 10. :( It better come soon![/quote]
Same here. They should just give everyone the LE content for free. It would be better if everyone gets the content... rather than a few LE owners waiting for an email that might never come.
 
i like the game so far, bought most of bowerstones marketplace, makes me about $4000 every 5 mins, i had 2 wives, no kids yet, probably not that far in the game either, i've been working jobs for most the game and buying properties

i also hate that you cant't see the maps up close and that i have to run to shops and house and read the damn sign to figure out what they are, also since i own most the stores in bowerstone shouldn't everything be free to me, i know i can take money out the register but YTF should i have to pay for the shit in my own store

i dont see why they couldnt make fable somewhat like oblivion

luckily i saved after beating that troll, so when that happened i just went back to the dashboard and left the crucible after the load
 
Can you teleport to an area if you're having someone follow you, like your wife (to move houses)?

I ended up taking one of the quests that had a moral choice early on
when the ghost wanted me to break his fiancee's heart. I'm playing a good character so I ended up marrying her.
Anyway, since I had just bought the bar, I had no money to buy a marital house, so I trudged all the way back to the caravan. A bit far to see the family. Will that work or am I going to have to run from the caravan to Bowerstone manually?

Also, where the hell is the inn in Bowerstone? I can never find it. I wish they'd patch it so there's a bigger map to view with all the locations marked.

I just ran into the crucible glitch myself yesterday :( I think it has something to do with beating your record of 10 perfects. I'll try doing 9 or something this time.
 
Trying to figure out how far into the game i am...
I just finished saving Garth...10 years later or something like that.

Only a couple of hours left.

The property magnate achivement is pissing me off. I've sold properties for 2x the value 3 times now, and nothing has unlocked.
 
I hear it is bugged. I think one other one is also but don't remember what it is. You can still get them but it may take 2 or 3 times to get it or you may not even do it and get it. I think thats what happend with one that I got. I was not even trying to get it and some how got it when I shouldn't have. I just dont remember what one it was.
 
Is there a listing of possible game-breaking bugs somewhere? I wanna make sure I don't get stuck since I'm putting so much time into this. I know about the one with abbot, but I'm past that part already.
 
I got the achivement by selling for 3x ammount. So It's 3x not double contrary to what the achivement says. Boo on Lionheads for the wrong description... or it's somewhat bugged.

Now just need the fucking dolls.
 
anyone else having intermittent disconnecting from xbox live? Mine has done it about 3 times...wondering if it was just my connection.
 
[quote name='chubbyninja1319']Once you put in the LE code, where do you get the Halo outfit? The card isn't very descriptive.[/quote]

Wow, you got the code??

I believe the gear will appear in the chest in the guild hall. You know, underground in that cave where Theresa hangs out. If you've already opened that earlier, though, to get other limited gear or something, I believe one of the traders will have your new stuff. Probably at the Gypsy Camp or Bowerstone general store.

You've probably got a little more than a third left. Maybe even more than that, depending upon how much you did earlier. Sort of like after the world "ends" in FFVI. :) Or FFVII for that matter. For me, it was about halfway.

I'm thinking about finishing the game up quickly, and then waiting a few weeks to play again. I'll have a few million gold by then (making about 10,000 every 5 minutes right now) and while i'm not burnt out on the game by any means, i think going back and just having fun (which i am now) will keep the game fresh for me.

EDIT: overall, while the game is fun, i don't really have the sense that i'm a 'Hero' or even powerful. I use the same will power/sword/gun combos when taking out enemies...and i haven't really come up to a challenging fight yet. I've been knocked out twice i believe but i have the resurrection potions...like 6, so there's really no penalty. So that + level 5 shock and i'm good to go...does it get harder/more challenging?
 
[quote name='strongpimphand']i noticed that after completing the game, i dont' get any more sales. happen to yall?[/QUOTE]

Same here.
However, once you reach end game you'll be getting 10-30k every 5 minutes(depend on your rent rate and shop rate cost) so it won't really matter, outside of potion sales maybe.

My final verdict on this game has to be B+ due to length and the lack of difficulty just like Fable 1. It's pretty fleshed out in comparison of Fable 1 but at the same time It's lacking in depth. Theres so much more that could have been added namingly a more fleshed out story line and more variety in monsters. Here's hoping they don't rape us with tons of DLC, or at the very least make it a easy pill to swallow like Lost Chapters aka real cheap. I believe DLC is going to be a pretty big thing in Fable's future just because right off the bat It felt like they left out quests and what not.

Like SynGamer said the difficulty is pretty much a joke. There is no real punishment in dying (OH NOEZ! SCARS!) and dying is few and far in between as long as you have a few potions on hand.

Again, overall better then Fable 1 but not by miles. I gave Fable 1 a 8.7 factoring in Lost Chapters, but I'll have to give Fable 2 a generous 8.8 because despite all It's flaws It's still a damn fun game and any game that can keep me occupied for several days without flinching at my other 100+ games backlog and knowing I could be playing Gears of War 2 has to get a A- or close to a 9 rating as possible.
