    I just

    Please tell me I am wrong and there are still many hours of fun to be had.
    many hours of fun still, especially if you do side quests, but you're right that something dramatic is soon

    Man, does anyone know where the gargoyles in Bloodstone are? I'm missing one, I've checked the whole town and I can't even hear the last one I'm missing.

    Yeah, my dog turned golden lab color right after I got probably 75% good or so? It's not just purity, but it could be both I don't know.

    By the way, that character?


    THIS IS SPARTAAA!!!!!


    Hehe, I married "Jen the Housewife". I wonder how that feels, everyone in town is in love with the guy who stole your wife.

    Making a note of these so I can do it when I get home from work. Much easier there than here.

    Also, it upsets me being on msn here at work and seeing people at home playing Fable 2 :(
    Besides that though? Not bad at all. I would even say I prefer it to Fable 1, another game that I liked and hated at the same time.

    You don't know what this means to me, Xeno. I'm thinking of putting it in the OP.

    Quick question.

    I'm about to
    head out to the Spire
    and I'd like to finish up some quests first.

    So I'd like to know if
    there are a finite number of 'Rescue the Slaves' quests or if they just keep on coming indefinitely.

    Speaking about the celery, my character is no longer fat. 8-)8-)

    Is there anywhere other than Bowerstone Market to get this stuff? I spent like "8 weeks" last night trying to get my character thinner, and the bitch just kept running out of celery. Very annoying.

    Also, for example, if I go to a bookstore and I see "Dog Treasure Hunting Part I" is there any way at all to know if I've actually already bought that before or not? I'm pretty sure i've bought some of the same things like 4 times now, pretty goddamn frustrating.

    If anyone can do a melee chain on command: How the fuck? I just want to know. I've tried everything.

    I finally figured it out last night.

    Basically you need to tap X at the end of your previous sword swing, once you start it up and get around 5 to 8 swings it starts speeding up and you have to tap a lot faster. Sometimes it is really hard to do when you are in the middle of like 12 guys, but once you get the steady tap down to start it, it's pretty each to start a chain.

    ...that is of course until a mob decides to block you... ugh.



    Oh hey, i'm Wavechaser48 on Xbox live for co-op if I can get added to the list.

    Thanks.

    I've only found a produce dude in Bowerstone. I wish they would improve on this map function because finding anything other than a weapon stall, is a joke.

    In Bopwerstone there's one outside the furniture shop, assume that's the one you're using. In Oakfield there's one around the farm wood chopping job sign. The better the economy of a place the more celery the food produce guy will stock because they'll have one piece for each star rating.

    Have you done the quest with the Abbot in Oakfield yet? The clue is talking about something that features pretty heavily in that quest.

    Spoilers up to the very end (not end game).
    I'm not entirely sure. I've done the Hero of Strength part, I've saved the Temple of Light from the Shadow attack killing Grim in the process and after the ten year gap I bought the Temple of Light. Are there more Light quests? I have a habit of skipping the pre-quest conversations because they take an age. :/

    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.

    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

    Oh, and thanks to whoever was suggesting to use the Raise Dead spell in order to distract enemies. :^:

    It made things sooooo much easier. Level 2 raise dead, charge up to level 5 time stop, run around and wreck everyone's shit or sit in the back and blow their heads off.

    Seriously, the raise dead trick kicks ass.

    Then you've got the part that you need. When you're walking through Oakfield on the way to the temple the first time, Theresa chimes in with the story about the golden Acorn and how it dies and is reborn every few decades. Head to that part of Oakfield and your dog should freak out and start running toward a dig spot.

    That sucks. Any chance the people who didn't buy the LE won't get the stuff? Also, they should've dropped the price down. I paid £40 for mine, and that's basically the same as the standard edition.
