On another note, she got this game like only a week ago, I worked pretty damn hard (blacksmithing, then renting out shops) to save up a million so I could buy:
Fairfax Mansion
And yesterday i'm just talking to her about the game and she blurts out "A guy totally just gave me a million gold! For no reason! And I don't even have any property!"
Like she didn't even realise it was a huge amount of money. LAME.
I bought that particular property last night. Really, to anyone complaining about money, just spend a bit of time working at a job, get up to 50k or so, and buy a Blacksmith or Inn. Then, go adventure. Next time you're in town, buy what you need, then buy up every business you can. Repeat. I currently make just over 10,000 gold every five minutes, and I've got the grand majority of my properties and businesses set at the default rates.

Alternatively, wait for a 50% off sale at the Bowerstone blacksmith. Buy out his inventory, then run to Fairfax and sell everything. You'll need about 15k in startup money, but you'll end up with around 30-35k. Sleep for 24 hours, and do it again until the sale expires. It's far less tedious than blacksmithing (but maybe that's just me).

Seriously, buying weapons in old town and selling them in fairfax is a good way of doubling your investment in 5 minutes.
I suppose I should have read up on this "Gender Bending Potion" dealy. Before I bought Fairfax. And decided I was smarter than the game, that I could simply quit the game after I used it for kicks.
I'm an idiot.

Why is the Duelist so difficult for me? I'm getting 10 blue streaks in a row, but it's still not working.

It's kind of dodgy, you'll usually need more than 10 in a row, try just going for as long as you can. I got a few over 10, then immediately after got the achievement for about 5.

So what you're saying is there's some kind of bug?
Unforgivable!

Have we talked about the secret room in the DLC? Because I think we should talk about the secret room in the DLC.
I stumbled upon it by accident. In the Storm Temple, there's a wall you can walk right through to find an easter egg. Video in the second spoiler if you don't want to find it yourself:
Looks like they're using photo frames to look like computer monitors, so it seems they're recreating the lionhead developer room with each desk having something unique to the employee, plus it looks like that guy didn't know the LB button was first person view.
I didn't have to do either, I just bought a cheap ass house and set my clock forward then bought the bowerstone inn. Normally I wouldn't do that, but what kind of lame ass game doesn't give me money for doing quests?
I want to punch peter molyneux in the mouth and every reviewer who was obviously paid off for their 10 out of 10s
I don't think anyone was paid. Honestly, I think you are just pissed because the game wasn't custom tailored for you. Sounds like your biggest complaint is money though. The game gives you several opportunities to make extremely easy money without cheating. You can play 5 minutes of a job, buy some property, set it to the appropriate value percentage, and that should provide you with what you need to make it through the game. You won't have the best equipment, but that will solve the difficulty problem for you as well.
Well I don't care about it being custom tailored to me, but when reviewers tell me "Peter Molyneux delivers on his promises this time!" and I actually believe them to find out it's a pack of lies, I get pissed.
The game is moderately better than Fable 1. The vast majority of extra content in this game has no reason to for doing so except "because I can", sure I can buy all the properties in the world, but you'll get more gold than you need by the time you get 2 or 3 really good ones (which I did, as I mentioned). You can marry a bunch of NPCs, but it serves no real purpose.
Like there's no reason to do any of this stuff, none if it is relevant to the quest or improves my character in any way. It's like listing the ability to decorate houses in Oblivion as a feature.
Seems like alot of people like that though, just seems kind of... silly. I could just play The Sims and find a deeper experience in regards to property management and family management, I bought Fable 2 because I wanted an Action RPG. There's not much action or rpg in this game, at least, not as much as there is ancillary stuff.
Note I don't think Fable 2 is bad, it's just not a 10, not amazing, not game of the year. It's average. Consequently it's one of the worst games I've bought in the last year, if not the worst, because I'm very particular about game purchases. It's fable 1 with a dumber spellcasting system, marginally longer gameplay, and more pretty fluff.
Edit: Yahtzee's review pretty much matches my opinion perfectly. You have to judge this game as a life simulator to like it, since there isn't much actual game here judged any other way.
Did everyone elses sales stop after they won the game?!? What's up with that?
Actually yes, I just beat it and now all the sales have stopped.
I've passed through about 3 weeks of in game time and there have been no sales.
Another topic, is the DLC worth it? It looks good and I would like more stuff to do/more items but I'm not sold yet.
I haven't noticed that, myself. I've got two characters doing post-main-story stuff now, and there still seem to be sales.
On the DLC, the character I've taken through it so far is using two Knothole Island specific weapons, with 4 Knothole Island augments slotted into each, wearing an outfit you can only get on Knothole Island and has her dog back. I'm personally 100% satisfied with it, as it got me a lot of great new stuff on top of being excited to play Fable again. I'm probably going to start up a caster next, just so I can carry around that staff and feel like a badass.

Too bad they dont have good skull face tattoos, it would be great to walk around with that thing and pretend your Skeletor.
I saved the dog with my ending haha. I get the feeling I shouldn't have done that now that knothole island is available.
The new weapons interest me a lot from the DLC too, and the knight armor sounds cool too, I'm kind of sick of running around in a jacket.
Maybe it'll be worth it to start a new game as an evil character and see how different I turn out. Can you go to knothole before you've beaten the game?
The Armor is really sweet, actually, and changes according to if you're good or evil. I'm good, so it's almost a light golden color with a white cape. Instead of the helmet, I'm wearing the Greaser Wig + Chops + Handlebar Stache, all dyed auburn. Add in the Halo. I look like a bad ass.

Yeah, but Im not sure how much of it you can complete.

People still find me scary oddly wearing the whole white suit of armor.
Does anyone have a fully evil character? I've never had the heart to make one in these games. Even the Mass effect Renegade felt too evil to me. I love the look of evil characters, but I enjoy helping people out haha.
Is it possible to kill every person in the game? Will the game stay unpopulated if you do that?
I wore the Highwayman Coat and Hat, Adventurer's Shirt and Boots, and Ranger Pants for a long time, colors a combo of Brown and Blue, and felt pretty bad-ass, but after becoming affluent, I felt it better to show off my status as a Gentleman Adventurer with the Noble set, dyed in White with an Indigo Coat.
Edit - My next character is going to be evil, and focus on Will + Agility. She will rule Albion with an Iron Fist, though she won't kill everyone; she'll need people around to pay the obscene rents she's planning on charging.

There are actually two sets. One is the Knothole Glade armor, another you get from the trader lady.
It's evil.
Between those two and the various Ranger items that look like armor, you could probably put together some pretty kickass custome suits. I haven't tried; my girl's been rocking the Barbarian Queen outfit since I got it.
My guy (who hasn't done Knothole yet) has been in a Highwayman coat forever. Dyed black, with the right haircut and stuff under it, it kind of makes him look like a renaissance era Punisher.
There is an evil armor-type set from the Mystery Trader, yes, but the Knothole Glade armor does change color based on your alignment. Good is a Goldish color, Neutral is Grey, and Evil is Black and Red.
Like there's no reason to do any of this stuff, none if it is relevant to the quest or improves my character in any way.
The reason you do it is to do it. It's fun, to a lot of people, to mess around in a big world where you can do lots of things. If that's not what lights your fire, you won't like the game. It doesn't mean the game is bad, it means it isn't your cup of tea.
Are you sure it's not based on Purity? I'm playind a full-evil chick and her Knothole Island armour is shining silver. Unless it only takes effect with the full suit? She's max evil/pure.
It's like playing Ikaruga for points. You don't get anything for the points. Your ship doesn't get better, and you can finish the whole game without worrying about it. The points are there for you to have fun trying to get more of them. There's no "purpose" to anything in games, you're not actually achieving anything, it's all just for fun. Saying "but it doesn't get you anything!" is, in my view, missing the point.
There is an evil armor-type set from the Mystery Trader, yes, but the Knothole Glade armor does change color based on your alignment. Good is a Goldish color, Neutral is Grey, and Evil is Black and Red.
Yeah, sorry. I wasn't trying to imply that there was some confusion between them, just that there's a completely separate set to be had.
The Evil set can be dyed, too. I was frustrated by the Knothole Armor's unwillingness to turn pink.

Was she evil when you put it on? Supposedly if you start at one end, then change alignment, you have to take it off and put it back on for it to change. Everything I've read says it's based on Good/Evil, but admittedly my character has been Pure/Good from the start, so I haven't tested it myself.

Like in all games, the evil alignment always gets the best looking clothing.
I recently started playing this after borrowing from a friend and one thing has been really bugging me. The graphics.
Im trying to find out if its just my tv or what. Im playing on a 52 inch flat panel HD. The Xbox is properly hooked up, but I get alot of jaggies. I dont mind the floating people and dog so much, but its really hard to believe the game looks this bad. Even some of the screenshots shown look smoother. Any ideas? Or is it really just this un-polished?

Seems to be lots of bugs related to achievements. I got the Extremist achievement about an hour after I made it to full good and pure. -shrug-

No it will repopulate, but screws up the economy I think.
Of course, the cheap easy way to do things is level 3 slow time to level 5 lightning. Still fun though.
