I'm strongly considering taking the 21st off of work so I can go to the midnight double launches Gamestop is doing for this along with LBP. Infact I'd say this is the game I'm most excited for this month.

This seems to be the bonus armor you get with the Limited Edition.

I actually like this a lot. :lol "I require thine weapon."

Yeah it is lame.

Not as lame as the exclusive bonus dungeon, though.

Considering all the stuff that was cut at the last minute from the Limited Edition it's still a nice extra.

Oh come on!

It's a fantasy game about a character than can kill an entire village, then be completely good and admired in another; be married to a woman in one town and have children, while also being married to a guy in another town...that can shoot lighting bolts form his hands..all that, while wearing just briefs..

Those it needs an explanation? :p
Click to expand...

Some people have done that in real life :lol Minus the lightning bolts....possibly the briefs too.

Ah, you misunderstand.

In-game exclusive content is always lame. I'm low on money as is. I can't afford to blow an extra $20 on a CE. And as a result, I miss out on extra content? Lame.

But that's neither here nor there. I am looking forward to this game. Want now.

CE is only $10 more, not 20.

That doesn't even come close to making sense. You can't afford to pay for something, therefore it's lame that you don't get it?

Ah? Shame 360 games are already almost too expensive for me, or that might not be so bad.

Well, yes and no. It's lame that I'm poor. But exclusive content is lame for different reasons entirely. But you can think of me what you want. I don't really care! :D

EDIT: I'll give you a hint, though: I'm a PC gamer.

Really? Then how does it transition from one section to the next? For example, do you have to go through a particular "door" in order for the game to load the next section, or just step across an invisible barrier that runs the entire side of the section?

I have to admit I never even thought about how this was being done in Fable 2.

The only transition I've seen is going from Bower Lake to Bowerstone. In this case you walk through a specific barricade and then go to a loading screen.

What? It makes perfect sense; this bonus content was obviously completed at the same time as the game, so they purposively took out the extra content to charge more for it in a Collector’s Edition.

man that gun fires too fast still... I was under the impression that these were old guns, I hope that reloading is from later in the game, because I figured it would be fire reload powder in gun ect...


whats the drawbacks of guns now? everyones just going to use them...

Lower power than melee weapons, harder to control swarms of enemies.

didnt look like it had lower power with those one shot death headshots

and your right, up close a group of enemies would tear you apart

I've just be skeptical with the addition of guns since day one, but PM said they would be very early guns with alot of drawbacks...

Pretty lame to put an extra dungeon in the LE, I can see suits of armor and stuff, but c'mon. :Lol

That'd be like adding another single player mission or mp map in Halo only available to cat helmet people.

i have all the items from the site now. i just have to say; damn, i really love technology sometimes. i play some flash (well, silverwhatever) games on a site and now i have a three-piece chicken suit to wear in my console rpg. truly awesome stuff.

oh and again... that cave! its mentioned in all the endings. this is baseless speculation but could it mean that your inventory might be stored to be transferred into fable 3?
i guess it's wishful thinking more than anything :) but i cant imagine what else it might mean.

At the beggining it talks about a hero who saved all of albion from an "unlikely bloodline" but "thats another story" (or something like that)

Then the character at the end leaves his things in a cave where "his ancestors can find them"

...I'm assuming that your character in Fable 2 is a distant relative of the character in the flash game. At some point you'll go to a cave and get something from it. If you played this you may also find those little items.

sounds perfect to me.

I have a feeling this game is going to be relatively huge in Australia. Everyone seems to know the Fable brand and I've actually seen ads for the game (you rarely see videogame ads on TV here).

I don't think so, they've written a shit load of new lore to fill in the gap between Fable 1 and 2, there are dozens of hero stories now, I think this is just another one, check here: http://www.lionhead.com/fable2/TalesofAlbion/Default.aspx (this one does require Silverlight).


They've fleshed out the world to a crazy degree, hope that comes through in the game.

The former is true of most places, whereas others have a path which you jog down and the screen fades out to a pic of the next area and a map, with some hints, tips, villager quotes and other information about Albion to read while you wait.

I'm at the end now, just waiting for my wife to come home so I can finish up. It's the first game in a long, long time where she's been happy to sit and watch me play and really enjoyed following my adventures.

The story's taken a few surprising turns, while a couple of the sidequests have ended in ways I couldn't possibly have predicted. If the ending can live up to everything that's gone before and round things off nicely - a big ask, but doable - then it's almost certainly the best game I've played since Galaxy.

Yes to the above. I thought it was fairly obvious.

Looks like NewEgg has the game in stock and is shipping again. Some people who overnighted it yesterday claim to have it "out for delivery" today
