    Can anyone confirm that Hobbes are a philosophy reference, or is the name just coincidence?

    So last night I went to bloodstone, bought a house so I could sleep with a hooker which was cool, (okay mostly I needed somewhere to sleep so I could buy stuff from the stores during the day). Wake up the next day, my crazy ass wife shows up.

    Um, why is this crazy bitch following me around?

    Since i'm basically a saint on this character, any way to get rid of this 'family' without killing them? Or should I just kill them and atone for it later?

    I have the LE version and it came with a card, however I'm unclear how to get the pub games.

    Another thing that bugs me is I don't get any of the equipment from doing the story lines on the website, all I ever get is the weapon and armor. Not a big deal, but still I don't see why I wouldn't be able to get it.

    I spent some time last night seeing how many ladies I could get into bed at once, turns out 8 not including me. The funny part is it only counted as one extramarital affair. I got 7 or 8 std's out of it though. I also spent time going through a lot of the stuff that I skipped over. The main story is a little on the short side, but I skipped so many quests and side dungeons I still have hours left to play not including collections and gargoyle shooting.

    Gile's Farm + End Game Spoiled:
    Ok so I didn't bring my dog back, yeah I know stupid on my part considering it is a key part of the game. Well I went through all of the basement and I cleared it, however I cannot dig up the gun because sucks to be me I don't have a dog. I know where to dig but there is nothing there when I do it. Do you have to have a dog to get it? If so that is a crappy design. I'll go back today and see if I get lucky, but at this point I'm pretty disappointed I cannot get it becuase I didn't choose the neutral path end-game.

    Have her follow you into an area with enemies and let them get killed. Problem solved.

    God that sounds so fucked up.

    First night I was playing there was a quest some dead ghost wanted me to complete, harmless right?
    So yeah, I then somehow convinced some chick to marry me, told her to fuck off, and then she kills herself. THEN she finds out her ex is the reason and is allll bent out of shape. God I felt like such a giant asshole.

    Also, it seemed to restock for my wife when I went local co-op with her. Don't know if that was coincidence or...

    Don't murder her, just let her get killed. It won't effect your alignment. I noticed with the furniture she hardly ever had any. Try sleeping for 7 days and going back.

    Hi, I'd like to know roughly how long the main questline is. A friend of mine bought Fable II on friday and finished it yesterday. He doesn't play games fast at all so that tells me it's probably 5-6 hours, he couldn't tell how long he had played either.

    If you finish this game in 6 hours, you aren't doing nearly enough farting, drinking, and philandering with the local ladies.

    btw, they have a "fix" for the LE's that didn't get a download card now:

    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/games/fable2/default.htm
    Yeah, my code will be emailed to me... in 10 business days. Everyone I know who has the regular edition of the game is entering their email address as well. Between that and the fact that they're giving away the pub games for free... what the fuck did I pay an extra $10 for?

    A making of DVD.

    Basically a standard "Limited Edition" game. Generally speaking most don't come with anything more then that.
    Which is why I don't normally bother buying limited edition versions. This one, however, was advertised as having more stuff. Not only was the bonus stuff not present, not only do I need to wait two weeks after buying the game to get it, but now, they're giving it away to other people.

    I think I have a right to be a little ticked off.

    Where does it say pub games are free? I noticed codes on the dev site, but that's not like a flat out free thing, it's a handful of freebees.

    Also is there any real way for them to tell if you got the LE or not in that signup? Because uh...

    That's a good idea, thanks. I thought it went back after you put the rent back to normal, but I guess not.

    Nobody knows anything about the Shadow Court? I don't want red eyes of rape. :( Oh the Lionhead forums are telling me that's the intended consequence, whoops. Someone here said it was a glitch.

    The main questline is not very long at all, and if you stick to it you'll finish the game pretty fast. On the other hand, the main quest isn't really the point of Fable II... it's that you can just spend hours and hours screwing around and just enjoy the world and all there is to do in it.

    I easily logged about 30 hours of playtime before finishing it myself, and now I'm playing through it again, because things are different as a char of opposite alignment and gender. :D

    So I don't think I'm ever going to ever beat fable.

    When I last played (I barely have any time) I spent 2 hours gambling ALL my money away.


    I love you Fable. Now I got to really start that Abbot quest! :O. Also the god damn Town Crier wants me to marry him, I don't mind that he loves me but he follows me every where I hit him in the face with a crossbow and he still wants a god damn ring. Jerk.

    Yeah, there are actually 2 quotes about the guildmaster being annoying. There's that one, where it said that a disgruntled hero had killed the Guildmaster and carved "Your Health is Low" across his head. Then there was another one, a quote from a random citizen of Albion, that said something like "They say the Guildmaster has the ability to communicate with heroes' minds over great distances. Sounds kind of annoying to me."

    I'm actually really surprised at some of the genuinely funny writing in this. It's rare that I'll actually laugh out loud at a game (where it wants me to, at least), but this has hit the mark a few times.

    No, it hasn't been like this from the start, I'm actually near completing the game. It was fine earlier before i left the house, just got back and its like this now. The disc hasn't even left the machine.

    It almost looks like the scrolling code from the movie the matrix, but its bright red and all over the screen. But like i said, its only fable 2, when i pull up the guide its not ontop of that.

    I actually had a small oval portion of my screen go stark white one time last week... It was appearing over everything, and at first I was worried, I thought it was my television. But then it went away after a minute, and hasn't happened since.

    Also, Saturday I had been trying to play and the game froze up after a couple of minutes, with all these static lines covering the screen. I couldn't get the XBox to respond at all, and had to shut if off by the power button. It happened twice, after playing the game for about 5 minutes each time. I took the game out of the machine and didn't try playing again until later that day, and it hasn't happened again since then.
