Fable 2 DLC takes heroes to 'Knothole Island'

I'm probably on board with this. A great game. Sounds like a few hours of random fun.

Man, I hear this a lot, but my experience with Fable II so far (my 360 rrod'd, so I'm a little late in playing it) is in the range of 30 hours and I have more things to do now than ever. I'm guessing I'll be "finished" with the game around the 50-80 hour mark depending on how much side questing I do.

Short compared to Oblivion maybe, but hardly a short game.

That is so damn true! After beating it once with my angelic male character, I went through and played it with at bad ass, uber-evil, hot chick who quickly got very ugly.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping that they would fix that whole co-op problem. You know, the one where you decide to start a game with your girlfriend after playing on your own for 40+ hours and then find out that you've lost all of your experience, abillities, gold and renown. That sure was a fun feature. I guess that'll be a part of the next DLC.
For those affected by this feature, there is a way to get your experience/abillities back, but it requires an exploit. If you don't trust yourself with the knowledge of an xp exploit then stop reading now. Basically what you have to do is to buy some xp potions, I used java because that was the only thing I could find, then buy a couple of abillities. press start on a second controller to start up a henchman, press a a couple times (it asks you a few times whether or not your sure that you don't want to play with an attatched profile) and then downgrade the henchman's abillities and quit from the henchman's menu. All of the xp from the downgraded abillities will be transferred to your hero. I was able to get all of my abillities back within 20 min. which was well over 2 million xp worth. For the money, there's really nothing you can do, but thankfully, it's not too hard to amass a fortune in Fable 2. Renown on the other hand is a bit more difficult to replenish, you'll just have to show off your trophies to everyone you meet.

Hey thats a good point. The dog was a big part of the game's charm, it would suck to play through all future quests without him.

Did you just spoil the end of the game?

Just 2 of the 3 endings.

*more spoilers*

What did you choose if not to bring back your dog? Didn't you consider that there'd still be stuff to do after beating Lucien? Money can be made, villagers are everywhere, but the dog is gone forever...

Holy fuck, man. Spoiler on top of spoiler, you dumbass. I already knew the first one, wasn't sure about the 2nd. Thanks a fucking pantload.

You son of a fucking bitch.

That's some funny shit right there... just beat the game, wish I had known all this BEFORE making my choice because instead of bitching about you SPOILING SPOILING SPOILING and ruining my gaming life...

I would've chosen to have all my loves ones resurrected instead of all the villagers brought back, damn it.

I'm pissed I didn't read this earlier! Just goes to show Zertoss, damned if you do and damned if you don't. If I were you though, I'd tell all these cry babies to grow the f**k up!

Nah, I'm not bitter at all about the limited edition fiasco, and I agree with you. At the very least we should get a discount.

Same here, all we got really was extra halo gear and a sword that was only for like the first 2 hours into the game to which you then you could've afford a much better weapon anyway. Talk about bait-n-switch.. I was really mad at the downgraded L.E. I got :-\

And actually they gave away that free content to anyone who sent them an email saying their code didn't work, even if they didn't buy the LE. So double screwed?

Well, it's a new world to explore, with new property, new quests, new clothing, new weapons, new items, new leaderboards, etc. for $10. To me, this is what DLC SHOULD be.

I agree, I think this is what DLC should be, APPROPRIATELY timed so as to still be relevant and awesome.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed how long it took for ME and GTAIV DLC, really really really really disappointed.

I really loved this game. I can definitely see how this would be viewed as a short game if you were to blow through the main part, but it probably took me 12-15 hrs.

And why are snow levels always appreciated?

Reminds me of the snowy place you open up after you play the lute for the demon door.

Epic stuff often happens in the snow. The only example I can come up with at the moment is Metal Gear Solid 1 and 4, but there are a ton more examples out there.

Also, it is a nice change of scenery compared to the usual brown and grey color pallet of this generation.

Sniffle, it's just such a vicious cycle, I just keep throwing pie down my gullet, all kinds, at all times of the day, with no abandon. And then I feel guilty and will eat nothing but celery for days at a time.

:*(

By the looks of it, there's a "submarine" in Bowerstone to take us to the new island. The knights armour looks really cool, and the new characters do sound pretty neat as well.

Really looking forward to this, a snowy area was one of the few things the game was missing :)

I suppose we'd have to read Sonic comics to know for sure.

Quick! Call Ludwig!!

Yes, that is indeed where they live. Knothole Village.

Hey, if you lived in a village like that, you'd need a knothole too.

Ba-dum-pish

C'mon, you knew they would charge for new dl content missions.

You really are shallow aren't you Travis

Man, if you finished Fable II in a week, you have WAAAAAY more gaming time than I do. Even if you blew through Albion in 20 hours, which meant you missed a LOT of content, that's 3 hours a day (roughly), every day.

I get about a third of that on average- most of which is on the weekends. I miss the good ole days of irresponsibility...

Im not saying I didn't like it... it was just too short..and like many are saying, this DLC seems like it should have been on the disk.

I don't hang on to games or have massive collections, i'm constantly trading/selling so I can play other ones - I'm far from rich

and as for my free time? Yeah, I had a lull in my university work which gave me some time to play

I'll probably keep Fable 2...This probably won't be the last/best DLC available

it is. and again this is molyneaux (SP?) just bloating up whatever news he has. I love how the big announcement requires us to pay. Not that I'm against DLC (well, I am to an extent) but if you're going to tout having a "good" surprise and it's not free, it's not a surprise. Just a "hey look, we're doing what every other company has been doing."

Molyneux did NOT hype up this announcement. One of the development teams community members pointed out on the forums there was going to be some kind of announcement this week that Fable fans would enjoy. That was all.
