Is there a new demon door in the DLC? Or did you guys get the achievement as soon as you bought it?
I got the Demon Door achievement and the have sex 25 times achievement as soon as I loaded up my save.Narpas Sword0 said:
As for impressions, I've only done the first quest. It's all right so far. More new hair styles and makeup options.
One of them is a straight up crazy jester facepaint.

Bought it and already finished it.
New Content:
- Several new achievements (some content related, some not)
- New Expression for you and your dog (need to buy)
- Dalmation, Huskey and Bloodhound potions to change your dog (need to buy)
- Several new make-up (really original ones) and hairdcut cards (need to buy)
- Two new wigs, and a new hat (need to buy)
- Balverine Suit (free)
- Hobbe Suit (free)
- Hollow Man Suit (free)
- Royal Suit (free)
- Welley's Soldier Uniform (need to buy)
- A new village, another new location and a colosseum
Summary:
Note: Doesn't contain any real spoilers, but still.
Score: 8
It's short, shorter than Knothole Island. There are some nice and original ideas gameplaywise, but it's still short. However, the Colosseum at the end of the DLC adds the needed replay value. It's actually a real challenge when playing solo to achieve a high score. For 560 MsPoints, it's a good deal.

Summary:
The salesmen (Murgo) that once sold you the magic music box is back with some new stuff. First he gives you a crystal ball that enables you to visit the colorless village that once was your hometown in Fable 1, it has however changed greatly over time (first to recognise even at first). After you restore the color in the world the salesman has a second gift, a skull, which sends you yet to another world where you have to free someone by means of solving puzzles with the creature costumes. After you've defeated a boss you return once again to the salesman and he gives you the final gift, the vision of the future. Just an interactive vision, nothing to do. Afterwards you can go to the Colosseum for some more challenging battles.

So, need some help from those of you that have it. I'm totally stuck.
edit:
I'm at the costume party trying to find the second part of the wisps by a swamp thing, except I can't pass through the water - it'll basically knock me back. What do I do? I'm most likely missing something trivial here.
edit:
yeah, blow up rock

You need to summon hobbes to destroy the rock behind you, then you need to summon a hobbe there that has those wooden legs so it can pass.
I just finished the DLC. It should be 400 MS Points at the most considering that you're getting two hours of content and it barely shows you the future. A 2 minute scene depicting more or less what is the status quo and
is not really seeing the future.
Come the fuck on, Lionhead. You guys can do better than this 'mini-DLC' bullshit.
showing you that your Hero's kid is going to be important

I'm going to start up this game for the first time soon, and I have a question - If I want to get the DLC, would it be better to do it now, or later? I don't want to pick up anything that would break the game or anything like that (like if the new outfits change the way NPCs react to you favorably, weapons being overpowered, etc.), but if they contain bug fixes that would obviously be a good thing.
I imagine I'll probably try it vanilla the first time anyway, just because I'm not sure if I want to spend extra money on it yet.

You can get Knothole Island already if you want. No overpowered stuff. However, the thing with this DLC is that the last part of it actually succeeds the ending of the actual game, so don't even think you'll be able to play it yet.Monroeski said:

hmmm I whipped through this in about an hour. It was fun but it could have been a bit cheaper I think.
I guess I could do the achievement stuff to prolong the experience a bit. I like walking around in the Fable world so why not?
All in all, it was a good pack but way too short.

Where can one find additional volumes of Murgo's Book of Trading or whatever it is? I still need the one item in Knothole Village that requires two of them.
As for the DLC, I thought it was okay. Not as amazing as I hoped it would be. Hopefully Lionhead will make some more, but I doubt it - as they've already revealed elements for the next game.
Anyway, I wonder what the Ultimate Prize is.

Well, you get it upon finishing the quest. If you're talking about The Colosseum, you can just level up your toughness and de-level the attribute after you're done using it.Blueblur1 said:

Royal sceptre. Blunt weapon, slow attack speed, short range. 90 attack power. 4 augment slots. I tricked mine out with it's not luck, luck and life, combat mastery, and skill and beauty. Getting a ton of gold from kills + get a large chunk of my health back every time I land a hit. Finally found a replacement for the Daichi.
Really liked this DLC. Dunno what you guys are talking about, saying it's not as lengthy as Knothole. Much meatier. Colosseum adds a whole lot to the game. Puzzles are more clever, rewards more creative. Really enjoyed it.
Question: I've sort of hit a wall in the Colosseum at 25,000 points. Always make it to a 9x multiplier, the toughest enemies I face are the Spire guards + commandants. Anyone found a way to get further than this? I'd really like to nab the last couple achievements, but I'm having a hard time.
Oh, and does anyone know what the

The latest DLC is okay for what it is, but did anyone else find the
a terrible cocktease? It was all:

Chesty invite
"Holy crap, a letter from Chesty! Where's that locked door!? Oh my God, here it is, going insiiiiiide...........*reads letter on table* FUCK! He's not here! Wait, there's a mirror upstairs! *goes through mirror* Holy crap this place is creepy! Chesty might be here! Aaaaand, it's just dye.............DYE!? All that suspense for DYE!? LIONHEAAAAAAAD!"
>=(
DISCLAIMER: Haven't played any of the DLC. Also I can't for a while anyway. Didn't bring my 360 to Japan with me.
Do either of these mini-expansions add spells or something? Cause my duders were maxed out shortly after I beat the main game. I can't imagine it's that fun to run around with an already-pimped out character in an RPG.

Well it kinda depends. I'll be playing the Colosseum with a friend in co-op several times, so it does add to the replay value.voltron said:
I easily put 3x more time into this DLC than the last one.
Finally nabbed those last couple achievements. Easy Colosseum strategy: fill all but your last magic slot with time control. Last one can be either fire or lightning. Always have time control going. It slows down the timer. Launch one or two of your high level attack spell in between recasts of time control. Got +30,000 points and killed the necromancer this way.

I got my money's worth from the DLC. I'd recommend it. The only thing I was disappointed by was the vision of the future.
The Welley outfit gives you more clues as to the future of Albion than Theresa's whole vision.
Please, elaborate on what you spoiler-tagged. I'm not very good at reading between the lines.
Anyway, is there a reason to play through the colosseum anymore after you got the ultimate prize? I guess there's an achievement if you get a very high score, but is there anything else? 'Cause I keep reading how much that adds to the game and I just can't see how after you got your ultimate prize.
Edit: just wanted to add, I like these little addons, but would love to see one king-sized add-on pack, with a new "main campaign", much like Oblivion's Shivering Isles, or even the Knights of the Nine. I want more than just a couple of side-quests - side-quests should be exactly that, side-quests. Not the main part of an expansion pack.

Well, Theresa's vision doesn't tell you muchStarEye said:
(did she call the land Aurora?), but the uniform appearance and description suggests that in a few hundred years (the setting of Fable 3) Albion reaches a point very similar to Europe during the Franco-Prussian War.

How in the hell did you get the last dye? You have to do that stupid score thing with the Colloseum, no?

yeah the whole look into the future shit was fucking retarded. I was expecting a lot more
anyway I did like it just for the new gear and dog potions. The coliseum is challenging too and the achievements are nice. At least it isnt a whole 10 bucks

hmm thanks for the tips, makes sense. I've never used time control but I got the xp to level it up. Only use raise dead and fire.

Every time the Necromancer shows up, I'm out of time, really annoying. Only get to shoot him once/twice.
And how do I get to kick 5 chickens? Max I had once was 4, but most of the time only 2 appear.

I'm playing through See the Future and I've been chasing those switches all the way through the village.
Is the chest containing the letter from Chesty where it leads you? I've been looking for the switch after that but I think it's gone.
