Fable 2 Development : News from Knothole Island

News from Knothole Island

Published Wednesday, January 14, 2009 11:16 PM by Sam

Today, after the beating I got, I've been playing Knothole Island and resting on the sofa at home. Got the Gargoyle Treasure and The Menace To Society achievement.

Xbox360fanboy is giving away a code for the DLC in their Fanswag Weekly. Follow the clear instructions on their page.

As spotted on our forums, Kotaku is reporting that a special rifle is to be found on Knothole Island. Spoiler alert, don't click the previous two links.

TeamXbox is sporting their review of Knothole Island. "Knothole Island is a great bit of downloadable content, not only for providing some fresh adventures but also fixing, or giving you the opportunity to fix some of the things you might have thought were wrong with the main game. If you’re a fan of the game, you’ll have to have it, and it’s unlikely you’ll be disappointed. Knothole Island is a great example of how DLC can be."

Gameplanet.co.nz also posted a review (click this link) "The Fable II downloadable content is a must-have for anyone who was looking for a reason to pick up Fable II again. Three new quests, a range of new items and weapons, as well as some great augments make the experience worthwhile. It certainly could have been longer, as it will only give you two or three hours of gameplay, but hopefully there will be further DLC in the future."

If you have finished the Quests on Knothole Island, found all the items and if you think you've seen everything there is to see, click this link.

	Lilyth said: =D I was pretty stupid for ordering 1600 M$ Points(along with some other stuff) off the Gamestop website thinking it would arrive in 24 hrs... I'm going to have to wait till tomorrow to buy the DLC but the Hal's Rifle sounds awesome, 24 rounds per clip! I hope that meant 24 shots rapid-fire like a turret or clockwork pistol/rifle!

	AbsintheMinded0 said: Thanks for the DLC Lionhead. You have sparked my interest (yet again), and I will continue to obsess over every item located in Knothole Island. The rifle? Wonderful. The hidden room? Even better. I <3 beef jerky. January 14, 2009 7:08 PM
	Garrett_150 said: Knothole Island is awesome. I just wish I had hals armor and sword to go with my gun! Interesting storyline (no spoilers)! Great job by everyone in lionhead. Thanks again Sam January 14, 2009 7:09 PM
	Dom04418 said: Awesome, and the hidden room thing is very cool i think, love the island January 14, 2009 8:43 PM
	Maurerk said: Something is more than the hidden room... Something deeper.. January 14, 2009 8:57 PM
	Riaran said: I love the content!!! Keep it up Lionhead and soon you will be giving Bungie a run for their money!!! January 14, 2009 9:08 PM
	mmmMorePudding said: I love the fact that Sam gave us "Spoiler Alerts" in the post (Thanks Sam!) yet people still ruin the surprise in the comments... way to go guys........ January 14, 2009 9:17 PM
	Maurerk said: Hey! I've got a solution!!!! Don't read the comments, Pudding. January 14, 2009 9:33 PM
	FirePoker said: Ok Sam......I have now seen it ALL....got Anything else for me? January 14, 2009 10:55 PM
	Maerdis said: Link12984: ..You do realise that they came out with a fix for most (If not all) of the bugs a few days ago, right? Great DLC, Sam. Been enjoying it thoroughly. Holds up his Hal's gun in a heroic manner FOR SPARTA! D: January 15, 2009 12:15 AM
	Shisou said: It was beautiful, funny, adventurous, satisfying, and left me feeling 200% cooler. Excellent job, F2 team! Congraduation to you all! January 15, 2009 1:49 AM
	Artyx80 said: I´m really loving the DLC and it was worth the wait. 800 MS points is really low price for this. I remember when I bought Mass Effect DLC, prize was 400 MS or 600 MS and it gave only 1.5h gameplay and no new items. That was a dissapoinment. Or the Lost Odyssey memory lamp pack. Prize was 200 MS and what did that give? Ring and a chance to watch all the videos again. So this DLC is worth the money. Thanx Lionhead, I hope we will see new DLCs soon, at least news about them.? January 15, 2009 1:57 AM
	Roar349 said: The more and more I hear, the more I can see myself parting with MS points... January 15, 2009 2:08 AM
	fable2isthebest said: i love the dlc and the mad knights armour but the helmet looks werid January 15, 2009 3:47 AM
	Tail0r said: Sam, i rushed over to that fanswag link only to find the dreaded words " This giveaway is open only to residents of the U.S. and Canada". How about an alternative for a fellow Guildfordian January 15, 2009 4:31 AM
	Roar349 said: Same here Tail0r, rushed over and saw the same. In fact I rushed here in the hope that the first 20 or so posters may get a code for this or pub games (cash is tight and only have 1180 MS points at the mo, so need a code for this or Pub Games...) January 15, 2009 4:49 AM
	Roar349 said: Oh dear. Wrong side of the bed this morning? January 15, 2009 10:00 AM
	Kutkoppe said: oh and then you guys are caching and moderating , well i dont care if my message comes out in the public, just know that i hate you all!!!! January 15, 2009 10:01 AM
	Maerdis said: Lol. First, learn to do some math. (Or take out a calculator, that's what you kids do nowadays, isn't it? ;O) 800 ms points is only little over 8 euro. Also, least possible points available is 800. There's also 2100 available. Shifty eyes Get your facts straight. How about instead of throwing them away, send them to me so I can play a game two times at the same time? ;D January 15, 2009 10:27 AM
	Jacquestrap said: Any pub games codes? January 15, 2009 11:31 AM
	fatboyjam said: Wow - way too short. Loved it while it lasted, beautiful to say the least. But can't say it's worth more than 400 points - especially for a maxed out character. Now, if you were to play this earlier on, it may be another story. January 15, 2009 12:23 PM
	Njam said: Pub Game Code PLEASE! SAM , I'M DYING HERE!! Pleeeeeease Sam! njam_the_meddler@yahoo.com January 15, 2009 12:30 PM
	moonfever said: Thanks Sam, I have only found one of them. I love the DLC, still getting to know it. January 15, 2009 1:34 PM
	Maurerk said: Lionhead: You've still got a TON of devoted fans, don't let a bunch of downers spoil this for you. January 15, 2009 3:52 PM
	KyeFawkes said: ::Gets sad at everyone who complains:: I enjoyed it. I waited up till the wee am hours to play it (and beat it). The DLC was awsome. I only wish you could make one come out every month. ::Everyone there shouts "NO NO NO":: =*( <3ed the new augments, even though I wont use most of them. They made me smile, and added flavor. Keep up the work guys. Albion rules! (And so does it's creators!) January 15, 2009 4:24 PM
	KyeFawkes said: (I can't believe how much crap you all get. On your own website. Sorry face. For everyone.) January 15, 2009 4:28 PM
	Megus17 said: Please more Pub Games codes. I just need the completionist achievement January 15, 2009 4:32 PM
	KyeFawkes said: Ah, I forgot, and I don't know who to direct it to, but the Desk Tables =) YAY! I love new things for the houses, and when I saw the tables light up before the DLC came out, I hoped there'd be some new stuff for sale! Yay-people-who-gave-me-new-desks! January 15, 2009 4:42 PM
	LordSoupington said: See, I enjoyed the DLC, but pretty much just because of the content. And that content should be already be in the main game. The quest wasn't that great (shouldn't do dungeon crawling without rewards and regardless, it just doesn't go well with Fable). Still, the island looked nice at least... January 15, 2009 5:44 PM
	oldDj said: yaaaay! January 15, 2009 6:59 PM
	Jordo15 said: Hey Sam, Are you still sending out Pub Games codes to people who comment, or manage to be lucky and get one from the blogs? Just wondering if I missed my chance January 15, 2009 7:30 PM
	Megus17 said: it would be cool if there was an unlockable weapon that's better than the Daichi for getting the 3 achievements January 15, 2009 11:04 PM
	Roar349 said: Ah sod it! Those points are just burning a hole anyway, just bought Knothole. Now I just need a code for the Pub Games January 16, 2009 4:56 AM
	bricksfilms said: so far im lovin it. just finished the first quest and am 3 hours into it. January 18, 2009 5:35 AM
	BlackVelvetopia said: Finished it all within an hour the first time, and about 20 minutes the secound, not as much content as I would perfer, but it was interesting to see new places. I asume there is more in store for this island, and the rest of Albion by the looks of it, I have noticed a bunch of small changes around Albion; are you guys getting ready for something big? Like a secound half to the story? When is the legendary syth and the tear of Avo coming out? Will they be in the Arcon's Isalnd pack? I know these are alot of questions at once but a response to them would very much so abliged. Also, please add new combat features, cause when your maxed out there's not much freshness in the moves, not only that, but why haven't you guys fixed the multiplayer yet and why do the NPC's have more fetures then PC's, like hand to hand combat, or clothing iteams?

	AMCope said: Nice. January 25, 2009 12:32 PM
	Mallguard911 said: This was a great additional, love all the extras but now I'm done, I must have more! It's like having a big bowl of ice-cream and no spoon, bastards!! Anywho, look forward to more additions, maybe something in a pirate theme or vikings. Also I agree with the lack of Hal’s garb. I something to another island possibly but taken there via dirigible. January 25, 2009 8:30 PM
	Daichi678 said: wanna hear a rumor? lionhead fixed the game.....just goes to show you not to put any faith in rumors January 26, 2009 1:30 AM
	KhaiFX said: Well done to Lilyth who has just ruined the DLC for me. I downloaded it yesterday and am Yet to play it but you have just ruined some of the features on the DLC for BLURTING it out like a moron. Next time keep it to yourself January 29, 2009 12:51 AM
	Jakey232 said: The Knothole Island DLC is quite but the shrine thing to short i did it in about 30 mins. the new weapons are great i like the Hal's rifle which actually is the Assault rifle from halo. the knothole island knight armour changes colour if u are or , such a update to fable 2 can't wait till unlock all of the mysterious boxes so kool items in them. I actually completed the shrine thing twice with both of my charectors fun. Theres heaps of new weapons like the Electric guitar lookin one, the kool sword (forgot the name), that wizard staff, the barbarine mace thingy, and the judge's cleaver all great weapons. the new augments a great, some have odd names my favourite one is the It's Not Luck augment it makes u do more damage, take less and get 50 gold for each kill. Keep up the work LionHead January 30, 2009 7:30 AM
