Fable 2 Development

   

Nearly out since a week...

Published Thursday, October 30, 2008 3:53 PM by Sam

It's been nearly a week since Fable II was released over here in Europe (and just over a week for those of us living in the United States). The news that Fable II was making it to the top of the charts on the other side of the Atlantic had us excited, but the latest news on VGChartz had us even more excited. It's great to see so many G o o d [Good] games do so well in the charts (and we're happy to be #1 of course, thanks to everyone who's enjoying their Fable II (and sorry to the few who are having problems)).

I know a lot of you hate me for doing this, but here we go again - ten codes to get the Pub Games for free!

  • F3BPP-74MY9-M7YKV-XQ8QD-Y6PQB
  • B722R-6F6GX-F6RVX-3X4HD-64G9Q
  • BGC7Q-MBTP6-99XQT-WHX6T-XRG93
  • H37BJ-VH7TK-TM2Y9-GYDTY-6WRHG
  • VJQHY-2VKBR-86MFC-RQ9H3-YCQKT
  • G49MR-C3DPJ-VGQBJ-9VVXF-WGPQJ
  • V9KDY-QBKCV-9MM48-RY6P4-6TDKY
  • J8YXC-JKKY2-P6374-K7MHH-HYT98
  • TRDVB-D3K7J-M8FWQ-CGYGM-GBH7M
  • CG2CR-GKP7R-C7WQ4-F2YVB-3HV6W

There's a giant pumpkin in the Microsoft Game Studios' lobby, that has a few recognizable faces… including the hero from the Fable II box!  He's to the far left.

Glad to hear Fable II is doing so well! Up [:up:] Sadly though, I have been unable to enjoy my copy that I preordered from BesyBuy. I have yet to receive it, not because of lack of supply though, but because it was stolen from my mail box the day it arrived. Sad [:(] I am currently in the process of trying to get my money back and am also going to call the police and fill out a police report, since stealing mail is a federal offense. (Just learned it was stolen yesterday, was thinking it was just slow delivery until then Sad [:(])...

Im trying so hard to get these codes, especially since i payed an extra 20euro for the LCE, and feel cheated because it was cut so small. Why dont you post MORE codes for everyone else <<

It's nearly a week, and a large portion of loyal buyers can't even play the fudging thing.

Thanks for another piece of crap blog, rubbing all our faces in it.

While I love this game I don't like the fact that to get all the achievements I apparently have to shell out for the pub games. Seems like a bit of a con to me.

"thanks to everyone who's enjoying their Fable II (and sorry to the few who are having problems))."

You're welcome ! It's all our pleasure.

Oh, and by the way, about the parentheses ... Remove them please. You can claim you're sorry, that's normal.

I run into the abbot glitch. Like some (and it seems to be a lot of people). Go and search on google, and you'll find a lot of threads on gamers forum about this.

Your post "Monks Quest and Co-op issue" (http://community.lionhead.com/blogs/fable_2_development/archive/2008/10/24/3157553.aspx) about this glitch relates to posts in forums, and quotes speech of members of your team. One quote is:
"opefully everyone can forgive us for the occasional problem"
Indeed we can. I personnaly do. I hope you read further though.

One other quote is: "We'll keep you posted."

Really ? That's the problem to me. When ? Can we have schedule, planning, due date, hopes, reason to believe, or informations ?

I do understand problems of bugs. I'm a developper for over ten years now, and know how hard things of this kind can be. But when it matters about customers, the least i do is keep them inform about what to do, or how long to wait. So they just know what position to adopt.

For me, the point is: will i have to poke this blog over and over for monthes to have a clue about an eventual patch (i prefer to restart right now), or is it a matter of days ?

The fact is that i passed a lot of times before going to this quest, and my character suit me so fine. I just dont want to do all that jobs again. Now, i got all of the oakfield town, and eventually go to find some hobbes to entertain my day...
For how long ?

So, i (and i think i can say we) would really appraciate to be kept up to date with some informations about a patch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, i'm a great fan of Fable (the lost chapters), which is a great game, and Fable 2 is also so promising. I enjoyed every little bit of this game right now. Thanks so much for all this work.
Great job.

To be fully apologized, you'll just have to publish an extension pack Wink [;)]

Not playing it as much as I was, gets kind of boring when you play it to much just like any other game. Grats on being #1.....for now! We all know that is going to change on Nov 7th.  You guys going to patch the bugs anytime soon its getting lame watching my dog change colors all the time and dead bodies bouncing nonstop on a wall. How about some clothing DLC or maybe some Co-op fixes!  Better yet how about some co-op dungeons or raid bosses!
