I was walking to start the T.O.B.Y quest line in Bloodstone, and happened to stumble past the Assassins guild quest. As I walked past it, it entered the "scene mode", where you are unable to draw your weapon/cast spells/run at full speed. As my luck would have it, the quest expired as I was walking past, and because of this I've been locked in this "scene mode" and can't actually do, well... anything past performing different emotions and sleeping. Enemies don't even attack me when I encounter them, and I also decided (which in hindsight was rather silly) to save and quit the game hoping this would fix the problem. It didn't. So I've essentially lost my entire game.

Is there anyway to fix this?

The same exact thing just happend to me... Just started the T.O.B.Y quest in Bloodstone and now I can't weapon/cast/fast travel/or buy materials...  The "scene mode" pops up everytime I go to fast travel.  I also did the same thing of saving and quitting... which was obviously a bad idea...

This happened to me when I tried to enter the shooting range in Westcliff.  At  first  the press "A" to accept quest would not go away no matter how many times I tried and my character was unable to draw a weapon, cast spells,  or run at full speed and I could not fast travel. I also tried to save and quit with no success but I was able to go back into the Howling Halls where everything seemed normal and I could fast travel. I set my current quest to the Westcliff Shooting Range and went back to Westcliff and was able to enter the shooting contest and the Crucible but I am still stuck in scene mode when inside Westcliff.

I had the same problem and fixed mine.  I got stuck in a scene from bowerstone.  I don't remember if it was a bounty hunter job or a slaver rescue quest, but I could walk around and interact with things but not use weapons or run.  I slept 7 days in the bar and then accepted a slave rescue quest that popped up in bowerstone and mine is completely functional again.  I don't know if this will work with non recurring quests, but hopefully it helps somebody.

I wonder if Lionhead even reads these forums. I've had this issue for a couple of days now. Im trying to not start over in the hopes that they will take action and fix this. Besides, I dont want to start over only to have this happen again. What a waste of time!!!

-- Very disappointed that I wasted $60+ 

Same issue. same place in the game. God, I hope I don't have to start a new character. Anyone found a fix?

None here, but I've got the glitch on T.O.B.Y. where your golden path leads right back to Toby.. its so lame.

Also, I'm not saying this was Fable 2's fault. But, this morning I was doing the Archeologist's quest.. I was going to the one in the gypsy camp, just dug it up and had the scroll pop up and my xbox froze.. Which I'm used to Fable freezing my box, sadly. I turned it off and back on, it froze on the main screen, turned off and I got the RRoD. So, my box is now.. dead. :[ I'm trading Fable in ASAP!

I've had the same thing happen in Bloodstone and also my reaction was to save and reload to see if it corrected things. Which did not help. I'm not used to expecting a game to be so buggy that I shouldn't save. Given the OP was nearly a week ago and there has been no official response, I'm guessing my save is now boned. I probably won't bother replaying either. At least I really enjoy the XBLA Pub Games. *sigh*

I've got the same glitch at Withermarsh or whatever at the Demon door. Stuck cant move cant draw my weapon or anything.... saved it.... big mistake... please make a fix quick... dont really want to start again.....

I just got the same exact glitch. Was doing TOBY quest and passed the assassin guild quest and now im stuck in cutscene mode. The game autosaved on me so now I am screwed. I tried a bunch of different things and now all my time put in this game has gone to waste. Even if I wanted to start over I merged my pub games guy to this character which deleted him so I cant even use my pub games stuff. I really hope they patch this and it makes characters that are already bugged get out of the glitch.

/end rant

I was playing co-op with my boyfriend over XBL and he got stuck after a cut-scene, I left the game.. and he eventually fixed the problem by hosting a split-screener. Not someone online, but someone sitting NEXT to you. How you do that, I have no clue.. but that's what he did and he got unstuck. Either way, I've heard from 3 other people that Fable 2 has given them the RRoD, besides me. That's so lame, dude.

thanks for the tip but player 2 was stuck in scene mode too, I was able to shake player 2 out of it with some button mashing but player 1 still would not get unstuck

I also have this bug, shame to have spent so many hours getting to this point only for terrible game design and unwillingness to patch resulting in a huge amount of wasted time for me.

I've got the same problem now. Everytime I enter Bloodstone now I can run and move, but I can't take my weapons or open the chest on the ledge. First I needed some reknown that talk with Reaver, so I completed some quests in Bowestone. But still says I need the same amount of reknown.

And going to Wraithmars and back doesn't help. I hope Lionhead can do something about this.

I'm stuck as well, did 8/8 perfect rounds...opened up the chest and it teleported me out and I'm stuck so that the only thing I can do is look around with LB, I can't move, I can open the start menu and play with that, but nothing else works..I really have no wish to replace this character since I put all my legendary weapons/money/cool stuff I have been finding such as clothes and augments on this toon as well.

Can a "GM" of sorts figure this out? or will no effort towards the restoration of these characters be made?

I was somehow able to get unstuck from the Shooting Range scene in Westcliff. If this has happened to you in Westcliff try going to the area behind the treasure chest that is just before the guy you have to talk to for the shooting range. There is a short path just behind the chest and the empty wooden stall. As soon as I went to this area I was able to move around like normal and draw my weapon. Hopefully this works for someone else.

Spoiler alert.
Recreation: Fresh anger

Being in Westfall I did a few rounds at the shooting range. After finishing a round I needed to save so I could resolve some real life issues.
As the shooting range dude was telling me how much I sucked I pressed start to get to the menu screen but it only paused the game. Naturally I walked far enough away until I was able to access the menu screen and save.

Now when I did save the game I am pretty sure the shooting range dude was still talking to me. The save feature I believe I chose was Quit and continue. But, I did shut off the Xbox360 after it was done saving.
When I reloaded my save, my character, and any who join my game, are unable to move, cast magic or melee. I also cannot bring up the expression wheel or use a bed to rest. The only way the character can walk is if there is npc or mob that you can target with LT. When I do teleport back to
Westfall, the timer and score indicator come up as if I were starting the shooting range event. Sticking around until it is over does not fix it. Please remember that I cannot re-enter Westfall Camp since there is no one to target outside of the main gate.

Using my save to play as a henchman in another game, even in a local split screen I was able to move around and melt faces freely.
I have read other posts that claimed to resolve the issue. It has not worked for mine.

Short Rant.
Dear Lionhead Studios,
I could and would have gracefully accepted another delay than spend 20 some-odd hours to find a game ruining glitch. Start another save file? No thanks, the glitches are still there.

After I was able to get out of the scene and move around like normal in Westcliff the very next time I loaded a save game and went to Westcliff I was stuck again.

Like you I was not going to start over and waste my time. However, on another forum people were saying you can make quick money by changing the time on your xbox if you own property. So I changed the time zone on my xbox from EST to London time (I just randomly chose any time zone and it happed to be London) and when I reloaded my save game I was able to get out of the scene by walking away from the shooting range dude like normal. I saved and quit then changed the time back to EST and reloaded and I was again stuck in the scene and could not get out. I quit and changed the time again to London time, reloaded and was able to get out of the scene. Since I did this I have had no problems so long as I keep the London time zone.

I had the same problem with the toby quest and I fixed the problem by going into the demon door that requires you to play the lute, you know the one at the top of the hill. From there you can move to where you like. I fast traveled back to wraithmarsh to allow me to work on the primary quest. From there it all worked out for me. I was able to fight and completethe quest as normal.

luck people!  

same

Fix my problem,
Might fix yours
but, the issue is still there.

It dawned on me that I could only move when a npc was near so I teleported to Bowerstone Market. Started picking the gestures on the quick select (D-pad) since I could not bring up my expression wheel. When the option came up I had them follow me, teleported to Westcliff and let the timer expire (previous post). After which I could target my follower. Walked around town when the Shooting range dude started talking I intentionally stopped moving. After he stopped talking I appeared at the shooting range as if I had finished the event. WOW, my rage-inducing paralysis is now gone.

Clearly after this little incedent, it has left a bad taste in my mouth. I will continue to check this thread for a week or two.. or until I sell/trade/use as a coaster.

spell cheker is suckt in scene

I've got the same problem now. Everytime I enter Bloodstone now I can run and move, but I can't take my weapons or open the chest on the ledge. First I needed some reknown that talk with Reaver, so I completed some quests in Bowestone. But still says I need the same amount of reknown.

I have this problem to, and then I did another quest where you whave to save sam and... again. The ending of this quest is to kill a banshee in bloodstone, but I can't pull my weapons and so I can't kill it. I am aslo bugged in bloodstone with the quest where you have to give a beer to salty jack, the bartender won't do anything. My reknown in the reaper quest is bugged also.

I got the bug in bloodstone by having a follower en I dismissed her and I was doing the quest with salty jack and now I can't do anything.

plz Lionhead fix this

Never known, always there.

Just thought id put my two pence in. Stuck in the Hero of Will cut scene in Bloodstone, have the bloody Bard strap at the top of the screen permanently, so pressing A only selects the option to have him play a song no matter where you are (Im trapped by the way in the scene room where you have to pick up the item on the table in Reaper's mansion at the top of Bloodstone) which doesnt work anyway, also cant run, select any weapons or magic, as seems to be the norm in Bloodstone. Have the game saved in the room, so just puts me right back in there everytime I reload, and the Bard strap is still there, so renders A button practically useless. Help me Lionhead, I dont want to restart, I've spent bloody ages in this game, I feel so sad. Did I pay for this?

Sorry, shoot me in the face! Hero of Skill not Will, as I put in my last post.

God I am stuck too. Am trying to travel back and forth from bloodstone to wraith to maybe pass time faster. This should not be that hard for them to fix. Just add some kind of exit scene option JESUS.
