Bezintine:

I found a woman carrying a chair.


... that's right... she was carrying a chair in her hand.


I named her Chair Lady.

XD I had a dude who had that happen to him, but it disappeared when I left Bowerstone and came back.

Ok, my major issues:

NPCs are easily influenced to like/love your character, but it's highly unbalanced the other way around. I've sat and slapped a dude who was in love with me and the Bar of Affection didn't move very much at all.

Also on the note of NPCs love-fest, these things are more congestive than the damn plague! >.<" I went into my house to take care of my hubby's "needs" and I had a group of people invite themselves into my home. Now, I got my husband up to the bedroom, and right as we get down to some "How's your Father" the screen that had just went to black suddenly comes back to the proper screen, hubby is furious, and I have no means of evicting these people from my house. Why is it you can get arrested for staying too long in people's houses, but you can't call the guard on them? Or at least lock the door behind you...

EDIT:

On another note, with my first hubby I moved him to a new house in bowerstone and had not been prompted to set a budget. I'd been happy, I'd gotten preggers and had a baby, and my husband was always pleased to see me. Since there was no budget set I found myself divorced without any knowledge as to why. I know better now! But everyone, be sure to set those budgets!

In Bloodstone I was doing the T.O.B.Y. quest and walked past the assassin job start area and it said the job ended and got stuck in scene mode with no way out of it, making it impossible to move on in the game.

I have encountered the exact same problem.  I wasn't doing the T.O.B.Y. quest, but I was running through Bloodstone and happened to pass the assassin guy when it triggered that cutscene and got me stuck.  I can't run, use weapons, or use magic.  I also can't fast travel because it tells me I can't leave until the cutscene ends.  I've tried walking out of the area, sleeping, doing another job (bartending), quitting and restarting, and trying to find the assassin who started this whole thing but he's gone.  I tried sleeping for weeks to see if the assassin job ever comes back but it hasn't.  Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?  I emailed Lionhead but got back a generic unhelpful message.

I've got a glitch here which has basically made my game forfeit. Which makes me sad. I'll run through things that might be relevent. 1) Played for a while, no problems - Imported Pubgame stuff 2) Joined a Coop game, lost all my XP and Gold 3) Continued in my original game, got back to the level I was killing bandits and hobbes and the like 4) Played happily until now ... I visited a pubgame merchant guy, played a game of cards, banked out. And now the game is attempting to give me unlimited Plaits Hairstyle cards. I press 'take', and another one pops up on the screen. I turned the game off, turned it back on again - and it's still trying to give me the cards. Sigh Looks like I'll have to start all - over again I guess...

Yesterday, in Oakfield, the same thing happened to me !! If you find a fix, tell me because I really don't feel like starting over again.... It's sad, but this game is broken.

I have a similar problem, but I think it's a bit more severe. I'm also having strange polygons and lines of similar color popping out. Mine are mostly from characters. Has yours been doing this since day 1? Mine has been doing it from the beginning of the game.

Bug-- Golden Breadcrumb Trail is usually unreliable and quite often doesn't even show up in Oakfield.  I've confirmed this with many other players.

You LOVE Power Metal. You just don't know it yet.

I have a really big bug in my game. Ok, At 1st when i was totally and Pure i had a halo on my head and like little tanned skin.

Then i started to go on the side. But i decided to stay pure. Well, then my skin turned to pale. And my halo disapeared.

And everytime i loaded the game my halo was on my head in the starting zone, and when i lef the area it disapeared. At 1st i tought it had something to do with being and pure at the same time.

Then i went corrupt, i got the horns 1st then my skin started to turn BLACK not dark red like in my friends save-game. (but my world is kinda darkish so i don't have much sunlight to see the real colour. So just ignore this part.)

Well, now i'm and pure again (about to go in the side) and i have the damn halo bug again. Everytime i load my save the halo is on my head. Then i leace to like Brightwood and it disapeares.

So, my bug is that when i'm and pure at the same time, i should have pale skin and a halo right? Well, i have those, but my halo is removable.

Hi, I have "Rescuing Charlie" Quest stuck at the top of my screen where it says (Skip conversation) and it isn't letting me use the A button for opening doors and other things that involve the A button, even if I quit and come back the message stays at the top of my screen, help please

Well looks like it breaks the whole game I can't pick up the main stories quest item or interact with anything. I guess my fable 2 experience is over. run, a whole 2 days

I also have this glitch.  I can use the A button sometimes, like in combat, but to open doors and trunks, it takes an awful lot of button pressing to get it to work.  And forget using A when you have to fill up the circle and I can't dive at all.  In fact, I can't finish my current quest, to save my child from the hobbes, because I can't get him out up the ladder to Rookridge.  We're either stuck there or I'll have to leave him to die.  Very annoying especially since I'd rather save him

I also had the frozen child glitch, which happened after I had a second child.  Once I had a third, he "woke up" and is now fine.  In fact, he's the one stuck in the hobbes cave.

Also have lots of freezing, disappearing dog problems, and such.

Would love to know an ETA on some kind of fix for all these problems.

Rescuing Mother-Frkin charlie!! i already posted in the Re:rescuing charlie post BUT THIS DESPERATELY NEEDS TO BE FIXED EASIEST GAME BREAKING GLITCH IN-GAME!! EVERYTHING MOVES SLOWER PRESSING A IS PRETTY MUCH USELESS!! NOT MENTION I WAS ADDICTED AND SPENT AT LEAST 24-HOURS PLAYING AFTER I HAD FOR ONLY 3 DAYS!! AND NOW ITS BROKE!! 60$$ NEW UN-RETURNABLE!!

I have had the same problem with rescuing charlie. The A button is rendered useless during quests, i wouldn't mind so much but this massive game breaking glitch is towards the end of the game. has anybody tried playing co-op with somebody else so they can press the A button while doing a quest? would this work and also would you get the achievements for doing  the main story quests with somebody else at your side, or would that screw up their game as well? some one let us know...
p.s. lionhead... fix this damn problem asap!

I dunno if this is Actually a bug/glitch, and if it isn't, then fair enough. But I thought scarring on the game was meant to be permanent? I got into quite a scuff, whilst fighting at the Spire, and walked away with -6 on Scars. Despite being beaten though, I had a Ressy vial, and noticed that my scarring rose to -3 ( a rather thing I found!) then sometime later on, I embarrassingly lost to a group of Bandits. Another Ressy vial came into play, and my scars dropped to 0. So no more scars..?

 

I'm not actually complaining about this, should it be a bug/glitch, because my char's looks are now in pristine condition!! I just thought that scarring at whatever stage in the game, and life cycle, were meant to be permanently there.

Glitch updates:

Childhood autism
My first hero's second marriage to a Oakview villager resulted in a baby who became a child upon my return from the Tattered Spire. The child never moved from the spot where the crib used to sit. She never responded to any expression or action. Her father was missing and never returned. He was not listed as either divorced or dead in the statistics.

Status
Currently, I'm still using 5 Lookout Way/The House of Hard Knocks for my second hero's second husband, Jack the Crate Carrier, native to Bowerstone Old Town, and who has the Old town Lookout Point (right outside the yard) as a favorite place. Plus baby makes three again. He indicated he always loved the house, and I'm hoping that this one works out better. I can't fast travel to him either, but I see him walking around Old Town normally, sometimes by the warehouse where I met him, carrying crates.

I have not encountered any other bugs, but I'm going to head to the Tattered Spire tonight to see what happens.

Update
Husband #2 of Hero #2, Jack the Crate Carrier, has also dissappeared after she returned from the Tattered Spire.  Their baby became another autistic child, standing where the crib used to be.  I can't do anything with the house, which has been my favorite home in the game so far.  I guess I'll take my Sleepmaster 3000 and pick another house somewhere.

For the illusion of variety I sometimes push the kid to another spot in the house, but I won't be able to take him with me when I move unless I push him down the road to another house in Old Town.  In my hero's stats, the husband is not numbered among the missing or the dead.

I sent my hero off to Bloodstone, since some people report their missing spouse turning up there, but Jack was nowhere to be found.  So she had an orgy instead.

Found a bug:

During the Graveyard quest that you get when you buy the Graveyard Mansion, there's this part where you can return a gem to the Hollow Man leader. If you're fast enough, you can hit him with a weapon while the "Hold A" option is on the screen. If you do this, you will cause the Hollow Men horde to attack. HOWEVER! The "Hold A" option stays on the screen for a set amount of time, rather than vanishing after you attack the leader. Therefore it's still possible to return the gem to him. If you do this, you still have to battle the several waves of Hollow Men - but the boss battle against the leader never happens and you get the " outcome" from the quest.

This isn't the bug.

The bug is that if you do all this, every time Theresa talks to you from that point forward, and you have the Subtitle option on, it says "Hollow Man" instead of "Theresa" for who is speaking to you.

Fable 2 is one of the best games I have seen so far for Xbox360.

I played it for about 5 hours and i enjoied every moment of it. Suddently I went to sleep in a house very close to the temple of the abbot...it was at least 3 days that I was not sleeping so I have choosen to rest for 24hrs. Apparently this was a private house.

Wehn i woke up there was a woman screaming that I shouldn't be there and she is calling the guards.

As soon as i got back the control i noticed the slow motion but i hoped it was just temporary. So I left the house and run on the road towards the temple. The woman was desappearing from behind me and reappearing in front of me for all the road, continuously since finally I have reached the temple and she desappeared and with her, the irritating and repeating voice.

Once inside the temple i made my mistake and I saved overwriting what I have done before...

And yes now everytime i start the game from that Save record, the image of me in the temple is stuck!

Too bad for a wonderful game like this...I just wanted to sleep...

 

Sorry, not reading through 39 pages to see if this one is listed or not.

The Archaeologist quest has a lot of issues.  Upon going for the 4th scroll the quest bugged out on return and can not be reset.  Having multiple quests up like most, I ran into a slaver group.  The dog went past and continued to look for the scroll, which we dug up and went back to the slavers.  Finished the slaver quest and upon return to the Arch - she has the nice glowing ring of gold around her to turn in, yet does not speak to me.

The scroll is gone, as well as the piece the dog dug up.  Making the quest the main or not has not made any difference.  Wooing her or Scaring her doesn't change the predicament either.

I have the same issue. I initially tought it may be the disk. So I took it back to GameCrazy and exchanged it for another copy. It was definately not the disc as I am still having the same issue. Is there a patch coming for this or should I just cut my losses and trade it for a game that I will be able to complete.

 

 

my character can't move after going out of the arena please help i  can't do nothing plz do something with this bug

*SPOILER KINDA*

Ok I've found an issue I haven't seen posted here.  And FYI have had absolutley no other negative experiences with the game previous to this other than finding out I cannot complete the side quests without my dog which is utterly pissing me off...

Problem: Quest "The Rescue" cannot be completed.

Description:

Upon leaving the hob cave with your child nothing happens.  There is no update.  There is a quest marker line that moves around the abandonded carridge stall in rookridge depending on how I approach the building.  Any attempt to leave the area results in resetting the game to a previous save that also happens to be after the quest started.  Your child does come out of the cave but is no longer labeled with the tell tale binky over their head and they are no longer interactive.  The simply stand there facing the wall and not moving.

Circumstances:

This quest is a triggered event that happened for me after completion of the main story line.  I had remarried, had another child, and then married again in the same town.  (is there an STD leaderboard somewhere? lol)  It became difficult with two wifes in the same town to increase my STD count (yes your wife can give you STD's too, DIRTY TRAMP!)... 

So I packed up the wife and child and moved them to Bowerstone Old Town from Bloodstone.  I used quick travel to the area.  I noticed my child had not followed but assumed it was a GFX bug.  I found a home the wife liked and I set that new home as the Marital Home.  After that I noticed the child was still not around so I had the wife come up stairs to take a shot at another STD.

Just before racking up another point a message popped up saying there's a new quest availible and a hand written note appeared.  This note told me that my daughter had gone off to kill hobbes.  And the quest that appeard was called "The Rescue".  First step was find the wife... Autoupdate she was right next to me... Second step find the kid...

The quest was automatically accepted and began at that moment with a save.  However the wife was still following me.  So I attempted to Dismiss... Nothing happened... I attempted to rack up a new STD point... Got the point... but the wife was still following me....  So I assumed that was part of the quest and took her to the hobbe cave with me.

I ran through the cave slaughtering every last Hobbe.  Recieved the key from the last Hobbe. Unlocked the cage and listened to my daughter's dialogue until it ended.  Then the quest objective changed to exit the cave so I continued on and killed about 30 more Hobbes all the while terrifying my wife and child with the Perferator weapon (it has the terror augment on it seems silly it affects them on a quest though)

I came to the exit, made sure both the wife and child were there and exited the cave following the quest marker line exactly.

Upon exiting the cave I found that the wife was still following me as before but I could now dismiss her... but the child was locked facing the wall in a corner and would not respond to any expressions or interactions in any form.

Actions taken:

Killed daughter... no response
Reloaded quest and Dismissed wife at the start of the cave... no change
Reloaded quest and killed wife... no change
Reloaded quest and killed every NPC in Bowerstone... Felt better... no change to quest completetion
Used collision detection to push broken daughter out of the Stable past the quest line on the floor.. no update
Killed all the annoying roaming NPC's in rookridge... felt better... no change

Turned off Xbox360 and threw controler at the cat... Priceless ...have not checked again to see if this had any signifigant impact on the quest completion...

Replaced battery pack put in D May Cry 4 and broke 3 world records...

So there you have it.  Cannot complete the quest and the save it reverts to is already on the quest so several issues, 1) can't dig without a dog, BAD LHS BAD!, 2) cannot continue in the game because of bugged quest 3) cannot load to a state before the auto save point on the quest (not my own save it was an auto save after reading the note)

Have fun and when you fix this I might play your game again. 

I would like to request a refund of my purchase should this issue not be resolved.  I was not told in any form before purchasing this game that the content was not complete and I would be paying to beta test for Lion Head Studios.

hello i had the same prob and found nothing on this. but i figured the solution would be in the coop and i said to myself if i figured it out id make and account and submitt the solution and here i am..

so the way you fix this is you have a 2nd player sign in (i dont know about x-live) then go to oaklavv of whatever and caus trouble.ie killing or smashing something. anything that will get the attention of guards. then you will notice that if you try and pull out plyer 1's sword it works and once it is out you can move again so i fast traviled away and the effect went away.i was stuck again so i went back to oak,place and hobbled over to the sculpture place and she dident run and you can activate the quest. then even with the gaurds right there they dident attack me and once you compleate it the problem is fixed. it worked for me. i can only hope it will work for you..-\./-

i think i also have the message on the top of the screen "you have no new furniture, go to a furniture store to replace this item" and it will NOT go away and its really taking away from the whole experience of the game

PLEASE UPDATE THE GAME!!!

Too much to read through completly, I have a bug when doing the quest to kill 40 villagers in Oakville I will get down to 1 left and villagers and monks stop becoming part of the towns population so no matter how many I mow down I can't finish this quest...

Also I wanted to be but after people were interupting my private time with my wife and having 10 or so people standing in my bedroom I snapped and slaughtered all of Bowerstone Market...then because of that my wife started to hate me  and told me she was getting a divorce so I shot her in the back and became a widower...a locked door would have prevented all of this.

I have had many of the bug previously mentioned also, I will keep starting the game now but if I do not see a patch loading I will turn it off.

I am a fan of the first game and waited so long for this one only to be dissapointed

Bug: 3 Red Lights of Death !
  I finished a co-op game and parted ways with a partner, and froze moments after Loading back up in Bowerstone Market.  I had to restart the Xbox.  The freeze effect happened multiple times, having repeatedly restarted the game.  I eventually cleared the cache & updates in the Console Memory section.  I restarted again & played offline, but kept freezing and having to reload repeatedly.  So I played Rainbow Six online instead.
  Later I returned to Fable 2 but kept freezing.  So I loaded up Graw2.  But it Froze too !
  I tried to restart the Console, and got 3 Red Lights!  I performed all troubleshooting, but never could restart again without an immediate 3 Red Lights.
  This was on an Elite.  I never had any freezing issues after owning the console for a year, all the while playing many games, but all the events I described occured over 2 days.  It seems evident that co-op in Fable 2 caused the freezing, and ultimate Red Light error.    Now I gotta wait for repair. 

Bug...

 

My dog pointed out a spot behind the Bowerstone Tavern to dig.  My character made the digging motions but the spade nor the dirt animations appeared.  He gave the animation for finding something but then the character froze.  He cannot move and menus will not come up.  However the poppies are still blowing in the breaze so the game itself is not frozen.  I appears that the game is waiting for a loot item that will never be comming.

Had to restart and lost all progress up to that point.

I've been hit by the freezing problem as well. I am still early in the game unlike some others here though.

In the main quest thread I need to go to meet Theresa and Hammer for the first time in the old Guild Chamber in the middle of Bower Lake. I am currently in Bowerstone. As long as I stay in Bowerstone there is no problem. If I try to walk out of the city to Bower Lake the game freezes at the loading screen. If I instantly travel to the Guild Chamber I can do that and arrive safely in the chamber to talk with Hammer and Theresa. If I leave though the game freezes.  Until this is fixed I guess my guy will just sit and earn money. Fortunately I own a lot of property so once this is fixed I'll be loaded.

Husband #2 of Hero #2, Jack the Crate Carrier, has also dissappeared after she returned from the Tattered Spire.  Their baby became another autistic child, standing where the crib used to be.  I can't do anything with the house, which has been my favorite home in the game so far.  I guess I'll take my Sleepmaster 3000 and pick another house somewhere.

For the illusion of variety I sometimes push the kid to another spot in the house, but I won't be able to take him with me when I move unless I push him down the road to another house in Old Town.  In my hero's stats, the husband is not numbered among the missing or the dead.

I sent my hero off to Bloodstone, since some people report their missing spouse turning up there, but Jack was nowhere to be found.  So she had an orgy instead.

Three visits to my marital home in Bowerstone Old Town later, and Jack the crate carrier comes back to stand in the entrance of the zone as I arrive in Old Town. Between those visits I completed T.O.B.Y and the first part of Love Hurts.

Jack's only shown up with all three relationship bars at max to tell me that he's leaving.   I checked the house, and the child was gone. Jack stayed until I left the zone then I got the pop up that he was divorcing me and leaving. Then I got a second pop up that due to the death of the husband, the child was removed. 

My hero got married again. George the Bard, who used to play a lute in front of the warehouse in Old Town. Had a baby again. George is gone. For a few visits home, I would find him in the house, or by the warehouse watching the new bard playing. And now hes just gone. He'll probably be back later for a divorce.

I've tried not fast traveling out of the house, out of the region, making sure the husband is never left on follow, and always putting the budget far above what the family needs, plying the baby with gifts, the husband too whenever he turned up, I've never given a second ring, but I have given gems or necklaces - it doesn't matter.

It's going back to Amazon in Saturday's mail, so I guess I'm done.

2 bugs to report.

1.  After diving into Archon's Knot for the first time, got out of water and was stuck in a "sitting" position.  I could fire my weapon but that was about it.  When I fired my gun, the character stood up normally for a split second and then went back to the bugged posture.  I tried firing then quickly casting a spell, character was stuck in casting position from then on.  Reloaded the game and did not experience the bug again.

2. In spire just before fighting Commandant.  Looked out window (to see new recruits) for a brief second and zoomed back out.  Garth was gone and character could not move.  Once again, reloaded the game and did not experience the bug again. 

Not big issues for me, just making a note

I am having a serious problem with my fable 2, ive got a serious bug that is preventing me from playing my character whatsoever.

I can load my character but i have no control other than the camera and the look around button and the start menu.

-i cant move
-i cant cast spells
-i cant use expressions
-i cant attack
-i cant shoot

i really hope someone can help me with this

if anyone has a solution email me @ bigmack1989@gmail.com

Quest: "The Spire"
Glitch: I went down to the Docks and talked to Hammer, then i realized that i still needed to do a few things so i left.  Hammer Follows me EVERYWHERE, not a big deal, she helped me complete a few quests.  ok, so now i'm ready to head to the spire.  Nope, not possible, the captain wont talk to me. The glowing ring shows up around him and 'clicks' off when i approach.  I have tried rebooting, teleporting into the place, returning to the guild, killing the Captian and so on.  Any ideas???
