Re: Fable 2

The easiest way I started making cash was bartending which I found the quickest way to make money. After you build up a stash start buying some of the cheaper small roadside stores and work your way up to houses and more expensive stores. After a while money will be no problem.

Thanks!
and whats the best place to buy a house at. around the market area?

Definitely. I started with the one near the stone cutter trailer. It was pretty cheap. Keeps my husband happy (I'm a female hero - she's bad*** too).

Re: Fable 2

Finished up the game and great game but disappointed with the ending.

Spoiler

This whole time I felt there was going to be some huge show down after the three heroes were recruited. Finally, Lucien is shot by Reaver and that's it. After him killing you twice and all I was hoping for a opportunity to go one on one like with the commander. Oh well.

With that, I can move on to finish up Fallout 3.

Re: Fable 2

Well there must be some reason you have to make a save while connected in the Guild Cave to get the LE stuff.

If I enjoy Fable would I enjoy Elder Scrolls?

Anyway, I did the Oakfield Massacre the other night and the score during that quest was just amazing.

Honestly - two entirely different games. But I would guess that you'd probably like it if you like role playing games. Elder Scrolls games are wide open, unlike fable. Oblivion, not so much as Morrowind - but they're generally games where you can go wherever - no invisible walls and what have you. There's also a ton more items like weapons, armor, clothes, etc - you can pick up pretty much every item in the world (not larger items, though, like tables and chairs).

Personally, I'd say give Morrowind a try (Oblivion has too much wrong with it. Honestly, it's one of the most overrated games I've ever played).

Morrowind with the expansions should be fairly cheap. I'd give it a shot if you want. It's one of my all time favorite games. It's really a wide open world - you get dropped off and have a little intro to the game, and then you leave a building and you're on your own. You can go do whatever you want to do; follow the first quest, or just run around the world finding other quests, leveling up, meeting people, clearing dungeons, etc, etc.

Re: Fable 2

I tried Morrowind, but didn't really like the first-person view of it especially during combat.

Re: Fable 2

I got the Limited Edition e-mail from MS with a code to redeem...Didn't actually buy the LE so not sure if the game'll know or not (I know MS has been banhappy lately so don't wanna get them mad at me).

There's no way they would know. I actually bought the Limited Edition and all I got was a card with the code on it.

Oh... Your question led me to believe you've never played an Elder Scrolls game.

To be honest, I didn't play it a lot. I just ran around after getting off the boat and the FP-combat really turned me off.

Well, if it turned you of that much, you may not like them (ES games). You can play both Oblivion and Morrowind in a 3rd person view, but they are pretty spotty, to say the least. I would personally say if you like Fable and/or more traditional RPGs, there's a ton of great ones on the PC worth looking at.

I liked Oblivion and Morrowind (And agree that Morrowind had a better overall feel to it) and think it's worth trying to get into despite the FP thing...but it really depends on how much it bothers you or if you can stomach the 3rd person view. Fallout 3 is pretty awesome too (makers of the ES games) and the tuning on the views coupled with the fact that it's guns and not swords , might be right for you. It's obviously more "modern" than a Fable or ES game though.

Reaver shot Lucien? I must have had an itchy trigger-finger because I shot Lucien in the head. I had no idea what was going to happen so when I saw I had control, I just shot him. He never finished what he was saying either. LOL

The big bods over in Redmond decided that, this week wasn't the time to tell you what that announcement is we have ready here in Guildford.

For those of you who are waiting for the "big one" - stay tuned, Microsoft assures me that we can announce it on Monday 24th. If not, I will fly over there and slam my fist on a desk. Like, really hard!

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios Announce First “Fable II” Premium Downloadable Content

Fable II adventures continue with downloadable content and free pack to release mid-December 2008

The epic journey begun in Fable II, the fastest selling RPG on Xbox 360, is not over. Starting mid-December 2008, fans will be summoned back into Albion's service with the release of the Knothole Island downloadable content pack. The remote island of Knothole is dying: its golden sands and lush vegetation are covered with snow, its people freezing, its treasures buried. Only a hero can face the trials of the three shrines to bring back the sunshine.

Following its release on Xbox 360 on Oct. 21, more than 1.5 million units of Fable II flew off store shelves worldwide in the first two weeks, making it the most popular game, across all platforms, in the U.S. in October. With the release of the first Fable II downloadable content, available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, gamers will be invited to set sail for Knothole Island, where new quests, wondrous items and bizarre characters await.

Also in mid-December, fans everywhere will be able to enhance their Fable II experience with the release of a free Fable II downloadable pack exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. To engage in co-op gameplay with a player who has already downloaded the Knothole Island content, gamers will need to download the free pack. Both co-op players must download the Knothole Island (Premium) pack in order to play new quests and enjoy the complete Knothole Island co-op experience.

Free and premium downloaders will receive a show of gifts, including Knight's Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, collectible silver book and more. Players will also be able to check their standing in over 50 new Leaderboards on Lionhead.com.

As an additional treat for Fable II fans, Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios have created an all-new Albion dashboard theme in celebration of the launch of the New Xbox Experience. Fans who want to show off their Fable II pride can head over to Xbox LIVE Marketplace to download the Albion theme, available now for 250 Microsoft points.
