4) SAVING - Most RPG games out there allow you to create multiple saves. Am I missing somethnig here, or does Fable 2 not allow multiple saves? What if I'm not sure about a particular decision I'm about to make, and want to save right before I choose?
What if I'm not sure how much profit a store/home is going to make for me, and I want to save before purchasing? What if I receive a horrible scar in combat, etc, etc.?
Dev team, if it's possible, please allow us to create multiple/custom named saves.


Number 4 is not a bug. This was intentionally put in here so that if you made a wrong decision, you had to stick with it.

 

i know this is a little late but the point of makeing more then one save in a game is not so you can undo a bad choice but rather if say your save game fucks up or ur guy gets stuck and is unable to move you can load another save up which is closer to the part were ur game is broke or faulty save rather then start from the start all over again.

Sally Jack should be there as you exit the quest .He was for me before all the other qlitches in gameplay started.

yep this has happened to me and now i won't be able to do that quest until they patch it up

Another little bug i found


after you beat the game your red glowing eyes will go away.

when you reload your game it seems your eyes has returned but if you do a close up to make your guy transparent you still have your glowing red eyes. but when you go to the next area they disappear

It should be gone completely.

I have the exact same problem and I've put up with it for a while but now I'm getting annoyed with all the same things now. At the moment my only option will be to start again but if I get the bug I'll probably have to think about taking it back to the shop. Shoddy work from the developer. Pretty shameful really and I had been enjoying the game until it buggered up!

This has to be a bug that I'm experiencing.  I completed the first two sections of the Archaeologist quest and received the note for the third.  I went to Bowerstone Cemetery and proceeded to make my way towards what I thought was the dig site.  Nothing happens.  Now my goal for the quest is to "Follow Your Dog" and in the quest menu I have about 8 entries of "follow your dog" and "research belles note..." checked off as if I completed them.
But when I'm in the area my dog is not "finding" the dig spot.

Is this a bug? What am I doing wrong?

(Hey, wozzey... Any recent console freezes? Or does downloading the game to the hard drive actually work?)

I too am a victim of the console freezes. I recently returned a 2005 "Red Ring of Death" console and was given a 2006 console as a replacement. I started my 1st character on the 2005 and used that character to beat the game on the 2006. I then beat the game again with a 2nd character entirely on the 2006. I did all of this without a single glitch or incident of any kind. I then downloaded the new Xbox dashboard and started a 3rd character (I also downloaded the Fable II update at some point but I can't remember exactly when). Here's the progression of events since doing all of that:

1. Not a single problem up until I beat the Crucible for the first time. I completed the Crucible (perfectly), and went to claim my prize. The chest would start to open, and then my character would disappear, only to reappear on the Crucible steps unable to move (and without my prize). The game wasn't frozen. I could spin around. I could see other characters walking around. I could hear other characters talking to me. I could bring up the pause menu. I just couldn't walk up or down the stairs, or transport to any other region. I was stuck. I reloaded and had the same problem occur five more time before giving up. And, since I couldn't use that character to progress past the Crucible, I scrapped them and (painfully) started again.
2. The console freezes started to occur. When the first freeze occurred I was a couple of hours into my new character, and I didn't really think it was that big of a deal. I power down the console (that's my ONLY option when these freezes occur), powered it back up and played for another hour or so before it happened again.
3. The console freezes started to occur more frequently. Eventually, the freezes started to occur only minutes between reboots. So, I started another character. This time I only made it to the entrance of Fairfax castle as a child before my first freeze. Try again...
4. The console froze during the opening dialogue between my character and his sister! Try again...
5. THE CONSOLE FROZE BEFORE THE FABLE II TITLE SCREEN COULD FULLY LOAD!!

WHAT! THE! @#$%!

I'm fed up. I can no longer play the game. I can't get past the title screen. I need answers.

Anyone? Please?

I should also mention that I'm using a standard Fable II disc (not the Limited Edition), it's only 2 weeks old, and it doesn't contain any dust, fingerprints, or scratches.

I've performed "maintenance" on my hard drive multiple times and it has no positive effect.

Lastly, every other game I play works flawlessly.

(I'm currently installing the game to my hard drive. I'll post my results after a reasonable amount of time for testing.)

I realize this post may be a bit premature, but I've installed Fable II to my hard drive, and I've managed to advance a new character as far as Bower Market without so much as a hiccup. Hopefully, this is the answer...

My hero has decided not to move at all, as if he were opening a chest after getting 8 perfect rounds in the Crucible again, and opening the chest that has Chopper in. I have tried warping to Brightwood Tower to be hit by enemies, but this does not cancel the chest like action.

so you know that bug were you cant use A to select things or the green glow doesnt show up and you cant use weapons....

the whole town of bloodstone is like that. i made a mistake by saving it in the middle of that glich, now no matter what, no matter how far i travel the bug is still in bloodstone......

....help....patch me

Hi,

I loved Fable and love Fable 2, but I never had any kind of console game that was so buggy like Fable 2, sorry Lionhead.

Here is my problem:

I played Fable 2 without bigger problems for the last 4 days, but now I am stuck!
I am in Bowerstone (Market) now and can't get outside of Bowerstone. If I try to go/teleport to another location the game freezes my whole Xbox when loading the new environment. I have to restart the whole Xbox!
In Bowerstone I can do everything whithout problems but I cannot leave it.
Don't know if it has something to do with it but the last thing I did was that I bought the "Come hither, dear" book in the Bowerstone book store.
My current quest is to free the slaves but changing the quest does not help either. I cannot progresswith the game under this circumstances.

Dear Lionhead, please look into this, otherwise the game is not playable. Thank you.

Configuration:
- Xbox Arcade (with 256 MB built-in Memory; Jasper revision)
- 60 GB HDD (Xbox Live Starter Kit)
- Xbox Live Gold account
- Game installed on HDD using NXE
- running over HDMI on Samsung 32'' LCD screen

Okay, I'm playing with the new patch and I've encountered possibly two new bugs. Back in Bowerstone my dog was following me inside one of the homes (the last one on the left before entering Fairfax Gardens) and I just arrived at Bloodstone for the first time and while listening to the bard "sing" the only husband my character has walked up even though he's supposed to be in Oakfield (Serenity Farm to be specific). I've been playing since launch and I've never encountered either glitch before.

This happened to me too, except I managed to bring her back to town and (spoiler) she didn't disappear until after I brought her back.

TanTheMan:

@SplatterHappy: Thanks for tip about saving and quitting; I was actually able to fight the Commandant now. However, after defeating him, I can't get out of the room. The light on the ground that I'm supposed to follow is there, and when I get to the "ring of light" at one side of the room it "goes up" (hard to explain, but as it usually does). But then nothing happens. I can still control my character like usual, but that doesn't help me when the place I can play is limited to one room ... Do you have any secret and slightly risky tips for me this time? :-P

Wohoo, the patch didn't do anything ... I would've been pissed off if I didn't get this game for free.

Just a couple of small things I noticed today. My Character has completed all the quests and demon doors. Went back to winter retreat demon door in Bloodstone which had been completed pre patch. When I entered the area post patch the scenery was back to the original snow setting, I wondered down towards the house and it was Invisible, but still had hits, I could see bits and bobs floating above the ground too. When hitting LT to focus on a villager the name at the top of the screen can sometimes get stuck there until the player leaves the area. Nothing can remove it until then. Also, before the patch and has not changed since, two houses in bowerstone market I had moved Lady Grey into and then out of are stuck as marital homes, I can't seem to sell them or rent them back out. Nothing major, just stuff I noticed.

I need 2 keys 1 in Bowerstone Cemetary, and 1 in Rookridge. I have searched both area's several times but no keys. I know that I have been to all the keys mentioned in several guides I found, but the game say I am still needing 2 keys. I think this is a bug because I have started the game and found several things were changed, and not by me. I am thinking that during saving the game not all data is being saved.

im not sure if anyone else has received this patch yet, but i got the update today and my problem with the abbot is gone. Thanks lionhead

1. What about this annoying permanent exclamation mark on the Clothing Menu? Even when you check out all your new clothes, the exclamation mark still remains on the menu! This obvious bug definitely needs to be patched!
   
   
2. At the spire after you refuse to kill Bob, you will still get Points!

I've had this problem since release too,  on all my characters. 

 

 My biggest problem now is my main character constantly being in Slow Motion....  this is the charater i have 100% completion with...  I've tried everything to lose it & its not worked.     Can i do something or will something be done about being stuck in Slo-Mo?!

(i wanted to play Knothole Island with my main Character w. Dog & Leg. Weapons)

I don't know if this was posted or not, but I'm experiencing a serious issue with the love hurts quest......I can't finish it, I have the last body part and he is unresponsive, and everytime I try to reload the mission, I get sent to the other areas where the body parts are.....and I don't know if this is a glitch, but after doing the archeologist quest, I gave the chick the gem and then killed her, but I didn't get the gem back....whats up with that?

use of color...

I just encountered a major game breaking glitch. After you kill Lucien and it says to take Theresa's hand for you reward my a button will not accept it the thing just keeps reseting. I switched characters and it's like this for everyone of my characters anything that needs accepting I can't do. Is their any solution for this?

Edit: I created a new character and I am unable to accept anything on it either. What am I supposed to do?
