Either way, sounds like he has to start over.

Basically, if you don't pick the Love ending, you better have found every last thing you wanted to find before you finish the game up.

Sorry i meant WITHOUT or W/O...

But it doesn't matter in terms of the Hoarder achievement, i managed to leech it off a friend, even though i only have 49/50 keys in my game.

Spoiler

My friend had all 50 keys in her save, she invited me into her game, then she bought something from a shop while i was in her game, and the Hoarder achievement unlocked in my game Could be glitch or an intentional move by the developers, but it works for a bunch of major achievements - LINK (see the "Giving the Big Achievements" section). I only leeched this achievement and plan to get the Completionist and Dollcatcher ones legit, like i've done with the rest.

Restarted with a chic now aiming for the other achievements i kinda screwed myself out of in my first playthrough, because we can't save one Hero's game to alternate saves

Re: Fable 2

I just have to say, the fighting system in this game is BRILLIANT. When I saw the powers, I had a very specific idea of how I wanted my character to fight, and the game not only gave me that, but improved upon it.

For the Fable nerds who are curious, I decided I only wanted Time Manipulation, Force and Marksman skills. So basically my character slows things down once, has time to charge up the lvl 3 slow spell, walks into the middle of the crowd, hits them all with level 4 Force and then teleports around them getting head shots.

It's so sick it's unreal. I'm in like the Fable Star Wars Matrix.

Even though it doesn't give you the option when saving, you have six separate slots for heroes. So while you can't have more than one save per hero you can have six different heroes going.

I was using lightning more than anything but once I maxed that out and had will experience to use, I boosted some other spells. Became a big fan of time manipulation and force spells. Use the time manipulation and then blow a guy's head off with a rifle. I've become a pro with that. "This is turning out to be a wonderful day!"

Re: Fable 2

My first playthrough I was an evil female. I maxed out all my skills and went to work with a masterwork flintlock pistol. I had Inferno up to lvl 5, maxed out brutal styles, and had my health up to four stars. I never bothered with physique cause it would make her to big.

How do I get into Archon's Knot tomb to get The Daichi? I know you have to jump into the tomb from a break in the railing in Brightwood Tower but there's a big stone cup, or whatever, in the way.

Time Control + Marskmanship is almost its own separate 5 star game within the game. Just a great, well thought out engine.

Re: Fable 2

Even better is to do the direction + B version of time control where you teleport through them.. Do that and then aimed shot on their head while you are behind them..

My guess is that the cup will move after a certain time like after the tattered spire. I know one of the gargoyles in bowerstone market only became available after the tattered spire because they moved a carriage out of the way.

Re: Fable 2

Daichi Katana + Red Dragon gun = ridiculous... After you hold Y for a second to go into aiming mode, you can fire that thing off like a machine gun

I do that ALL the time. That's part of the pattern. You do that after you slow things down, so you're zipping around this big group of poor bastards that are just too slow to stop you from having your little action scene at their expense.

Re: Fable 2

Is being able to aim at heads the next level up after you get the ability to go into the shooting mode by holding y down?

I think it goes:

1. Dodging
2. Aiming
3. Zooming
4. Targeting

I feel like I'm missing something though.

I think you have it right.
