    Fuck you Reaver.

    That reminds me, Peter Molyneux really really really doesn't want us to kill
    Reaver...

    Neither do I. He brings such a delicous flavor to Fable. He's the Frank N. Furter to our Hero's Brad/Janet.

    It's beginning to get a bit suspension of disbelief breaking though.
    In Fable 2, he tried to kill you MANY times and was obviously a pretty amoral bastard. But at least there you apparently needed him to access the music box.

    In Fable 3? He tries to kill you, headed a fucking Balverine Cult and is perfectly willing to just murder citizens in the street. There's no sensible reason for a good aligned king to not want this fucker dead and gone.

    So I feel like the main story is a bit lacking so far (just reached Bowerstone), but the side quests more than compensate for it.
    First getting sucked into the lost play, and I just did the D&D tabletop game quest. Both were brilliant. If this keeps up I'll be very happy.

    The writing is so damn good. Taking things much slower the second time around, not diving right into combat is rewarding when you hide out and listen to some bandits arguing philosophy and metaphysics

    I just caught the silent Jasper bug :( .

    I'm fairly far into the game, king now, and had just finished the Sunset House "quests."

    On a side note: mother fucking hammers. There are 50 unique weapons in this game and I swear its determined to give me every single version of the weapon type I have NEVER used. There appear to be all of two unique swords in my Albion, and one is Mr Stabby (which doesn't exactly gel well with my kind and just king).

    I've noticed it there and other places besides. Seems like between the graphics, NPC A.I., voice acting, and all of the little systems running in the background that they pushed the Xbox a bit too far.

    I don't know, I've been amazed at the game's ability to tank the framerate when there is absolutely nothing discernible going on on-screen. Like literally I'm in the middle of the woods with nothing around me and we're in super slo mo.

    Ok i think i'm in some trouble and need some serious help.....
    I am the king, was given a quest to stop a robbery in the Bowerstone Market Pub. I go there, and the merc attacks me, so I kill him. Now I can't leave the pub, I can't fast travel. When I go to load it just takes me back inside the pub.

    Is this a game breaking bug, or is there a way around this?

    PLEASE HALP!

    So I'm having a puzzling little situation: My Stature is up to two stars despite the fact that I use no hammers whatsoever. I use swords and liberal liberal quantities of sorcery.

    What the deal is? I'm okay with how I look now, but I'm concerned about beefing up much more than this.

    Did they just simplify it to Strength = all melee use, Stature = gun use, and Magical Aura = magic use?

    That would make no sense. Stature is what makes you huge. I thought Hammers were supposed to increase it and guns were supposed to decrease it.

    I see. Maybe I'm not getting beefier after all and it just seemed that way because I'm becoming proportionate to my new height. Fair enough.

    Still if this is only Stature 2, I might just have to stop using guns. I'm already really tall. More than this would be...bizarre.

    My hero is at 5 stature, and to be honest, I haven't noticed anything. He looks pretty normal compared to NPC's. Maybe if I had a before and after shot I might see it. But he looks more or less normal.

    Yaaay, while loading for the final battle the game starts autosave and is now frozen. I guess I'll restart and see if its borked. If it is, that'll be the fourth time I've had to restart and I think I'll just call it quits.

    Well, a few (more than three) weapons I have at the moment that are not on your list (and I haven't even arrived at Aurora yet, much lest beat the game)
    Hammers
    The T.Y.P.O.

    The Equaliser
    Facemelter

    Pistols

    All weapons start out either Swords or Hammers, at least that I've seen.

    But you can morph them into axes. In fact, the free downloadable hammer seems to do that automatically at Melee 3.

    Defend the bowerstone pub from the robbery

    This quest is bugged, I stop the robbery but then end up stuck in the pub while the quest for some reason stays active. I can't fast travel or leave the pub, and it says I'm still in the middle of the quest. If i restart my xbox I'm taken back just before the quest, but when i start the quest the same problems arise.

    Anyone offer some help?

    There should be a letter/audiolog for you to pick up that continues the quest.

    They pretty much slammed the brakes through the floor of the bus, yeah. You start off around the same size as the other normal npcs and become progressively taller and more beefy, but not to the point of hulking out like in 2.

    It's much less noticeable if you level stature and strength equally, as you just look proportionate for your size for the first few stars until you finally notice, hey, these people are small.

    I've only got magic at 2 or 3 stars, but I can just faintly see some magic lines around the eyes. Real faint, I only noticed them during extreme closeups on my face.

    I have reached the point though that, whenever I charge up a melee or ranged flourish, I suddenly sprout glowing ley lines on my body and clothes. Don't know if it's related to the magic stat or not. Gotta say though I much prefer it this way, having the lines show up when I'm charging up a big attack. Versus just walking around town looking like a Tron reject.

    I've read the Ben finn journal, and picked up the rare book on the second level. Besides that I can't do anything else. Also, there was only one mercenary I had to fight, he says "have at him, fellas" but he's the only one I have to fight. I'm pretty sure this is a bug.

    Same here. My wife's character started out quite a bit taller, though. Like, a full head taller than me or any other character in the game (she is almost as tall as the "badass" mercs). However, her stature is only 3, while mine is 5. Weird. Probably another bug. :P

    Is that the rifle where you have to get a score of 2,000 from the mortar mini-game? My best score has been 1910. I have no idea how I would ever manage 2,000.

    I should play some more co-op today, too. A rifle I bought is co-op orientated. I'd love to level that up. The Champions Companion or something? I believe I bought it last night in your game.

    If my mic is indeed dead, though, I'm going to be pissed. I just bought this headset.
