    Urm...you'll find later it DOES have a Ninja-Pirate-Ghost-scorpion. That spawns off the regular scorpions(this one is like frickin 10 feet tall and as big as a apartment!), that shoots vines at you from underground, charges, and other henious things.

    ...and I'm finding I was wrong. The story rocks. Supposedly I've come from a long line of heroes, as has my sister. No spoilers here, just saying that its not half bad from what I've seen...and Jack of Blades = kewl.

    <i><b>Making Friends</b>

    Among the gems of wisdom contained in this book are these: "It is generally considered ill-mannered to hit people", "Albion is a materialistic place; shower people with gifts and they'll love you for it" and "Performing good deeds will make everyone appreciate you much more".</i>

Manual/Tutorials could be more helpful...I'm renting out a house and it's been a couple of days and I don't know where to get the rent or how long it takes to get it.

    6. What is up with the aging. Sure, magic should make you age, but I've not used magic aside from the training part...and my guy is age 26 after 5 in game days. So apparently 1 day < 1 year ...whatever that's about. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    When you have rent to collect, a message will pop up upon entering the town. Just go to the house, and the rent will be waiting for you.

    As for aging, I'm 15 hours in, about 28 game days have passed and I'm in my sixties. Go figure.

    Bah, I'm still not getting where I should be continuing on. I think the only ways I haven't gone are through the Hobbes caves and through the Abandoned Road (which has a big wooden door in my way).


    ...So do I get to visit the other places through the Hobbes cave, or maybe find a permit that gets me to Bowerstone North or am I missing some big path here (Bowerstone->Lookout Point->Greatwood ->Darkwood->Barrowfields-> Oakvale ; throw it in one of those so I know where to look). Maybe I should just take that bandit village finding quest so I can follow the map directions on there.



    Psssst: Lady Grey traps people in basements and has them starve to death while the run out of oxygen and then later have you approach and get attacked by undead stuff.

    So, is Fable "the greatest RPG ever" as proclaimed by old Pete?

    You have to take the "Find Bandit Seeress" quest in order to progress. When in doubt, always take a quest.

    Tad disappointing, but still fun in its own right. I was a little annoyed that the game suffered from "invisible barrier of doom" syndrome like many other RPG's, though.

    You age in years every time you level up a stat/skill.

    There are DEFINATELY other places. 2, I believe. Look around that main circle(in your case, its where the corner is on your map).

    Lookout Point connects to Bowerstone, the picnic area, the Heroes Guild and the Greatwood Entrance. Go check.

    In conclusion, do the Find Bandit Seeress quest and the Abandoned Road will be unlocked for you, UltimaGecko. You can't get into Bowerstone North until later in the game.

    Bless.

    I just married a barmaid then rided her senseless! We're so in love! Just ignore the fact that beforehand (not "before hand") I was a 41 year old virgin..

    Walking into the school in Bowerstone and watching the kids stand up and cheer you, then sneering at them until they cry is ace!

    I wasn't expecting much, but it's definitely enjoyable. No game of the year or anything though. Love you, Burnout!

    And hit them!

    And apparently it's based on how much experience you spend...because I just went from 26 to 36 in one go.


    Damn Hobbes with their spawning 20 at a time. They make my alignment increase so fast, but they've got the experience to back it up...Now I've got an obsidian great axe that wants to speak with them...

    IMO Fable's main plot is way to short. I've already beaten it. The next goal I have set for myself is to kill everyone and then buy all their houses and rent them out <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I've already done that in Oakvale(ville?). I have also taken to heavy drinking. Being drunk is great. Your screen gets all blurry and you can't see a thing. It would of been WAY better if your char started to stagger and weave.

    My guy is so evil looking with dark plate mail, the howl tattoo, and the wicked horns on his head(My eyes even glow red). Sadly, it's now harder to get laid because of this because everyone keeps running away from me. My brother, who is playing a good char walks into a bar and they all fall in love with him. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I also have the impression that my wife hates me. She doesn't sound very happy when I come near. Maybe it's the horns and bugs flying around me.

    Enflame is way overpowered when maxed. It does 500 dmg a cast AND knocks people to the ground so they can't hit you while you cast the next one. On the plus side, those escort quests were a lot eaiser as long as you didn't target the people you wanted to protect.

    Has anyone actually ever died in Fable? Like, died and had no resurrection phials so you had to reload? It just seems like there's no way to do it unless you're really trying for it.

    Nope, only stronger. Always stonger.
    My character is 51 and still the most attractive man the ladies have evar seen <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    Heh.. After a couple days of searching for an assassin shirt, I finally found one yesterday and managed to max out my guile today. Spent one night going to every shop, picking the locks and stealing everything they left on display, then went around the next day selling it all back to them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Before that I was kinda trying to play a good character.. But hell.. The assassin suit is too damn cool to not use it for stealing and murder and so on.

    Oh, yeah.. I also got ledgendary status today from killing one of my wives.
    it appears the people of Avion approve of wife beating! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That and its oddly less evil to kill the wife than to divorce them...

    I'm pretty sure i was talking about it on #LM a while back, heh.

    Fable is kinda my excuse to get an xbox.

    For PSX i wanted FFVII so i bought one, for PS2 i wanted FFX, so i got one, now i want Fable, i guess i'll need an xbox. Besides, they're cheap enough these days, and my parents are buying my one for my birthday in some 3 weeks. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You're buying an Xbox for Fable?

    As I wrote that first line, I thought of the number of AAA games on Xbox and suddenly it doesn't seem quite as effective.

    Still, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Outrun 2 are better.

    Good XBox games:
    Fable
    Ninja Gaiden
    KOTOR(If you don't already have it)
    Halo is good, not the best game ever.

    Fable and Ninja Gaiden are definately on my list. I already have KOTOR on PC and i dispise Halo entirely. Silent Hill 4 is one on my list to get (purely because over PS2 it has better graphics), Burnout 3 and Full Spectrum Warrior are there too.
