Anyone who is foolish enough to partake in that for a dollar a day is a fool.

See The Future - 560 Points ($7), May Release

The future of Albion awaits discovery. In the latest game add-on for “Fable II,” the award-winning role-playing game that has sold more than 2.6 million copies worldwide, players will encounter challenges unlike anything a hero has faced before. Available in May exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, Microsoft and Lionhead Studios keep the “Fable II” adventures going in “See the Future,” an action-packed journey that requires players to lift the curses placed on three mysterious items that have come into the possession of Murgo the Trader.

In “See the Future,” players will be given the chance to heed the call for a hero to restore color and balance to the world, or let Albion fall to the wayside. Those who emerge victorious will receive the ultimate reward: a quest that provides a vision of Albion’s future and what lies ahead for those born into the heroic bloodline. The fantastical new quests in “See the Future” will bring players face-to-face with new characters, creatures, events and legendary artifacts, including:

Murgo: Having first met him during the childhood sequence of “Fable II,” Murgo returns to Bowerstone Market to bring an amazing array of new wares, including potions that can transform canine companions into new breeds.

The Ghosts of the Snowglobe Quest: Holding a disturbing secret, the small model village inside it was once a real town in Albion. The people who once inhabited it are now ghosts condemned to endless torment until the shadowy threat that cursed them is defeated.

The Cursed Knight Quest: Forever banished to a land beyond the dead, the Cursed Knight awaits a hero who has the strength and will to dress up in convincing costumes, even imitating a hobbe or balverine, to save him from his fate.

The Colosseum: The Colosseum puts even the Crucible to shame. Only the greatest heroes have triumphed here. Players’ abilities will be put to the test to prove themselves in combat once and for all, to win the ultimate in prizes.

In addition, “See the Future” offers free unique items* to all, including Welley’s soldier helmet and other clothing, a braided ponytail and other hairstyles, psycho Jester make-up, a new hero expression, the back flip trick for canine companions, and a collectible Murgo the Trader gold statue.
The “Fable II” “See the Future” game add-on will be available for download exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in May for 560 MS Points for the premium content package.

I'm game.

Re: Fable 2

I have had Fable 2 since Christmas and haven't even opened it. I've just been so busy between work, coaching, playing sports myself, hanging with the girlfriend, etc. that I haven't had a chance to really sit down and get into it. But once I finally do, it will be nice to have two additional DLC's to play with.

Re: Fable 2

Is this a $3 discount or $2 more than it should be?

This is probably going to cause messed up MS points too.

Re: Fable 2

Definately going to cause messed up MS points. Maybe there are some old Gamerpics floating around for 60 points.

How long is the Fable II game minus the DLC of Knothole Island? How long is Knothole Island?

It depends on your play style. I would say it's about 12-15 hours if you just stick to the main quest. I've seen play times above 50 hours. I did everything I wanted to in 27 hours on my first play through. My second play through was about 20 hours. Knothole Island is around 2-4 hours.

Good to know. So when I do finally get a chance to pop this in and give it a go, hopefully I can get it done in about two weeks.

Re: Fable 2

Fable II See the Future Q&A

IGN: Peter Molyneux told us at GDC that "See the Future" would "tie up a few loose ends" from "Fable II." Without revealing how these loose ends are tied up, can you give us a hint at least as to what outstanding questions will be answered?

Mark Hill: Everyone has been dying to know what happened to that fourth villager walking on the second backstreet of Bowerstone Market. Dave, I think his name was. All will be revealed! Also, we may find out a bit more about Theresa and what drives her.

IGN: What are some of the new breeds for dogs and does that affect your dog in any way other than visually?

Mark Hill: Choosing your dog breed is very much an aesthetic decision. We don't want to change the personality of the players' dogs though. Well, they may become slightly better fighters as a result of the change. It's a hormonal thing. As for the new breeds, who wouldn't want a husky or a... hey, look, someone's behind you!

IGN: "Knothole Island" gave us, well, a new island. Are we getting to see new lands in "See the Future" as well?

Mark Hill: You will definitely get to explore new regions. Some of them very different to anything you'll have seen before.

IGN: What makes the Coliseum different from the Crucible?

Mark Hill: It's chaotic, intense, and unpredictable, suited for co-op and loaded with combat multiplier features.

IGN: What are some of the new enemies we can expect to encounter?

Mark Hill: There are a few surprises. I'd say watch out for the Necromancer in particular, but that would ruin the surprise.

IGN: What's the new expression being made available, how do you earn it, and what's it use?

Mark Hill: The Hat, Moustache and Headband is an expression that is dear to the dev team. It's an homage to part of our development time on "Fable." It's basically a little game similar to rock/paper/scissors, but with radical and fun new items replacing those tired old ones.

IGN: Are there any new weapons or items you can talk about?

Mark Hill: Well, aside from quite a few interesting and unusual costumes, hairstyles, makeups, dog potions and an incredibly powerful weapon, no, not really.

Some of the dog breeds:
