Came back from the Spire.  Guard in Bowerstone gave me a quest to rescue slaves in Brightwood.  Accepted the quest and saw the green glowing trail.  Traveled to Brightwood and upon entering the area, the trail disappeared.  Been all over the map and there is no bandit camp with caged slaves.  Also note that I had saved Giles farm before I went to the Spire so now his farm is alot bigger after I came back.  What I think happened is that the place for the slave rescue quest was supposed to be in an area that is now taken up by Giles expanded farm.  If this is so, then the slave rescue quest should never have been given, since its now impossible to complete and prevents any other slave rescue quests from being offered.

Minor Bug:

Renaming NPC's does not register the new name for subtitles. It uses the original name when you have subtitles enabled.

PLEASE fix the Spire bug. I cannot talk to the captain at the docks so, to me, there's not further point playing. Was really enjoying this game until now

I'm sorry in advanced as this may be here already. I can't read through all these pages.

I can get to the wheel in the Temple of Shadows but can't spin the wheel. I'd think that's a bug since I didn't feed anything chickens or eat chicks to access it.

Odd game killer here... I played Pud Games last night to get the Hat, Headband, Mustache expression. I won it in there, then went to play Fable2 today and never recieved it. So I went to the pub in Bowerstone Market and played a quick game hoping it would work.  When I exited the minigame, I got a Plaits Hairstyle Card, then anotherone, then another, and another, ect ect. I take it and another pops up. I can't do anything now except keep taking the card.

I shutdown the console and loaded the game back up to have it put me at the same spot, just out of the pubgame getting more plaits cards.

It really sucks since I've beat the main story, and have around 2mil gold, not to mention i was about 5 gargoyles and silver keys away from getting that Hoarder cheevie.     Wife's missing in the return to family mission, too, but ah well.

any ideas to help or am i just screwed?

Think your screwed man... I've had the same problem and just ended up starting a new hero because I got so mad at the Plaits card... Really sucks because I'm in the same boat... I have about 3 mill in cash and about 5 mill waiting on me because I haven't been able to get on in about 2 weeks... Any help would be nice since this is close to being a reason to kill the damn game...

Highroller Coat is glitched.

when you wear it.. it acts weird sometimes.

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing these issues as well (I don't feel like reading every post to find out) but here goes:

Family Bugs:

I get married, and have a baby. The baby turns into a child after several days. The child, on the second day of having 'grown up' suddenly stops all motion and speech, and just stands there....and stands there. She just got stuck, so I figured that maybe since the house we were in didn't have a child's bed, that was the problem. So I moved the family but she still just stood there.

Then, the husband decides to jump from being happy to missing me, and wanting a divorce, in one day! He tries to get the kid to come with him, but shes stuck! So he ends up standing there in front of her, stuck as well!
The husband somehow dies in his stuck position and child protective services take the kid away.

I get married again, and still more issues!
I  have another baby, the baby turns into a kid overnight for some reason, than the husband disappears! He's just poof gone for about a week (game time). He shows back up, happy with presents in hand. Second day of being back from his mysterious disappearance, he does the same thing the first hubby did except he turns from happy to divorcing me in one hour game time!!!

House Bug:

I have had to buy 5 sets of luxury stoves and sinks because every time I install a new set, it disappears as soon as I travel or sleep. The money is still gone but the stove and sink are back to what they were, and I don't have them in my inventory.

Blacksmith in Bowerstone:

I think someone else experienced this as well, but I have to re-equip my gloves every time I take a job there.

Game Lag:

The menus are really slow and sometimes get stuck or jumpy.

And on a side note, what ever happened to being able to assign things to the D-pad? Booo!

Otherwise, I am still having fun playing, but the family thing is getting frustrating, especially since I'm super guy and it takes away renown and gives me points!

i had the exact same problem.... i didnt mind to restart with the experience and gold but now i cant even beat the game with my first character. Has there been any update to this glitch or is lionhead still working on it? or do they even know about it?

I dont know if this is a bug or bad luck. returning to the commandant's quarters with garth i got to the circle looking over the new recruits getting off the ship the door closes and garth is stuck outside. it got stuck because no dialogue with hero and garth. so i saved and came back fought the commandant and garth is still stuck outside. i cant open the door to get garth or use the cullis gate to get down to the docks. am i screwed or what?

Blind date bug can no longer enter brightwoods by any means to complete the quest.  All I get is a black screen causing me to have to hard reboot my 360.  see post in forum for better description.

fix the brightwoods black screen of death

UGH! That's the problem I'm having....you got any solutions? This is pissin me off!

I have just reached Oakfield and trying to get the quest called "A Bridge Too Far" at the bar, but the NPC is not there...then I went to buy all the houses, finished culpture quest and waited at the bar for 2 days  (real life) but he still didn't show up, is this a bug? Is starting a new character my only choice...?

I've had this twice now, when for some reaon my spouse dies *coughs* or divorces from me I cannot sell the marital home or rent it out. The first time happened in Bloodstone and I thought it was just that house but now it happened in Bowerstone Market as well.

Are you looking up on the balcony overlooking the bar? Barnum should be up there muttering to himself along the railing.

I didn't get a breadcrumb trail to him, but I saw the ring around him when I'd gotten to the landing on the staircase.

Yes I'm standing exactly at where he's supposed to be (on a round carpet and a painting with blue background next to it), but no one is there and there's no ring or breadcrumb trail.  I guess I'll start another character and see if it's a bug.

Ive got this bug where the enemies either dont attack me, so i can just walk up to them and pop there head off, or when they do attack me they dissapear and reapear constantly making it impossible to kill them and easy for them to kill me.  Very frustrating.

Bug: Message won't dissapear. 

How to duplicate:

1. In you childhood, select all the , moral choices ...
2. Then when you are an adult and have already played all the levels ...
3. Go to Bowerstone Market, and get close to Bowerstone Old Town (so that the message appears at the the top of the screen and says something like "Travel to Bowerstone Old Town? ... 4 miles 2 hours").  Don't travel there, just get close enough for the message to appear.
4. Now quick travel to Bloodstone
5. The message (mentioned in step 3 above) will remain on the screen no matter if you leave Bloodstone, or travel back to Bowerstone, etc.  Because it takes up a significant portion of the screen, it essentially eliminates your visibility, rendering your game save useless.  (Unless you don't mind playing the rest of the game with a giant message constantly obscuring your view)

I don't believe you can sell a marital home, can you?  I can not sell any of the houses I have owned that were at one point my marital home.

I'd just like to add to the "Glued Dialogue Glitch" complaints tally.

Message about the "Westcliff Shooting Range: Need Level 2 Dextrous Styles to take part" stays at the top... I have lvl 2 DS.  I have unlearned it and learned it, again.  Turned off tutorials... the message goes away but I still can't do the things I have listed below:

I can't see people's likes and dislikes meter, can't read signs, can't open certain doors... makes the game near unplayable.

Thanks for making this thread and maybe, one of these days, we can get a comprehensive list for the devs to view... too bad we can't edit posts after a certain amount of time.  Maybe they could change the forum software while they're working on the bugs in the game?  Switching the forum software could be a little easier...

BusterButch:

Like the guy above me says, they want you to pay for your actions and so it was intentionally put into the game.

I realised this and went and read a guide for the whole game in advance. Yup it spoiled the game, but it still spoiled my fun less than being stuck with a mistake.

This kind of thing is big fat back fire and fundamental misunderstanding of what a lot of players want from gaming. I play to kick back and relax, for a bit of escapism, I don't want consequences forced on me.

This is big peeve for me when games try and force you to play it certain way. Every game that has tried this has back fired, I'm going to play the game how I want and all trying to force me to play a particular way will do is introduce annoyances which makes the game less fun. Some times designers need to realise that once the game is in the grubby little mitts of the gamer ownership of the experience no longer belongs to them, it belong to the person playing the game.

Some of these bugs have been mentioned before in this post, I just want to get my voice out there in agreement.


Got married, bought a house, asked my wife to follow me, was walking through the lake area and she was killed by a big wooden troll deal.  That did not bother me so much.  What bothers me is that now that she is dead, I cannot do anything to our marital house.  It is now a waste of space.  I cannot make it a new marital house, sell it, or rent it.  It is now useless.  I did get married again and forced her to divorce me just to see if I got to use the marital house and it became free, just as it should.


There are many times when a group of enemies will begin to attack and the game with hiccup and sputter, almost like a massive frame rate drop or something.  It does not happen all the time, but it happens regularly.


Clothes change color when adding or removing different items.  For instance, the coat will be Primary blue, secondary yellow and I will put on a certain pair of shoes and the secondary yellow will turn almost brown.  It is a distinctive change in the coat.  Put on a different set of boots and it changes back.  This happens with all sorts of different combinations of clothes. 


I started the game massively . 100% at one point.  I then got angry about something and went on a killing spree.  What enraged me more is that no matter how many people I killed, that darn halo over my head would not go away.  After several days in the game and me doing as many deeds as possible, my slider was 100% and I still have blue eyes and a halo.  I've played now for what in game would amount to weeks and I still glow, have blue eyes and a halo, even though my slider is 100% .  I did eventually notice the dog had turned completely black and has red eyes, so at leas something changed.  After a few days of real time days with me playing I eventually saw a change in my character when his eye color changed to red.  So now he at least looks a bit , but at the same time, every time I load the game up he has a halo over his head for the first few minutes...it is definitely a bug and is annoying, but at the same time it is kind of funny because he is so and has red eyes and yet still has a halo..


I don't know how many times I hit the RB button to bring up the expressions menu and there are no images and only words, or there is nothing at all other than empty circles.  Usually if I wait a little bit the information is filled in, but regardless this is annoying. 

If I walk over to someone to hold down A to accept a quest and there happens to be enemies around, the enemies just stand there and do nothing while the we have the conversation.  it seems like enemies should trump all communications and force the end of a sequence and force you to deal with the enemies first.  I call this a bug simply because it should not function this way.  if I can end a speaking sequence by walking away, the sequence should stop if enemies appear.

This may or may not be a bug, but I have contracted several STD's and I have not once seen a side effect of this.  It seems if you could catch a disease the effects should be noticeable, otherwise why have the ability to catch them?

I have no idea what causes this because it seems to happen randomly.  Almost every night I stop playing on a sour note.  Simply because I quite after the game crashes.  I guess this is kind of nice because it forces me to stop playing and angers me enough that I do not restart and I can just go to bed.  But at the same time, this happens to me from time to time in the middle of the day.  In those scenarios, it just angers me that the game has locked up and now I have to restart and do over whatever I did since the last save.   The game saves often, but it does not always save after you do many things.  I think every night this week that I have played fable 2, I have put the controller down because the game has locked up.

And with these complaints...I still continue to play...I think only because I payed money for something and I want to see it though.  Still, that doesn't make it any less aggravating. 

How does someone put so much effort into a game, see what is considered the "finished" version of a game and put their stamp of approval on it if this is the "finished" version. 

I would be embarrassed. 

I'm not sure if this is a glitch/bug or not but i can't get my character to sleep..  Every time i go up to a bed in any of the 2 houses i own and walk up to the bed and hit a.  it says over and over again you can't sleep now.  I have tried to in the middle of the day,  night, and also when my health bar was low so i could recharge it when i would be sleeping but it won't let me.  If someone has any info for me that would be great.

I too am having problems with the game freezing up. I can still change regons and equipment and such but my character refuses to move from the spot. I can still move the camera and look around but cannot perform expressions or walk. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I started again and the problem didnt occur but its REALLY irritating when your trying to get all the achievements but cannot progress in the game. I am worried about starting again incase the problem happens a 3rd time.

I think this should be really updated in the patch so this doesn't occur again as I appear to not be the only one that is experiencing the problem and it really is a game killer and will ruin the game for future players  as well as those currently playing.

My gamertag is DeadHead1985 if anyone else has this problem.

Thank you.

Hi,

just joined the forum. Was not brave enough to read all the posts
Yesterday, I did defeated Lucien (btw, I expected something a little bit more difficult).

Today, I start my Xbox and wanted to play the side quests (still had 2 gargoygle to find, just bought Fairfax, etc.)

I do load my latest save and then ... the game freeze.
Cleared the cache, restart the console, clean the disc (no scratch on it). But unable to play

Before this, I had no specific problem with the game, it only froze once.
My console is of course not responsible since it's working just fine with other games...

PS : Don't know why, but everytime I play Fable 2, I need to reconnect to Xbox Live permanently.
Outside Fable 2 the connexion is very stable, Launch fable 2 and always disconnected
