Shame, was looking forward to it.
Still better to delay and iron out the bugs than release something in a shoddy state. Should do that more often. ....like with the retail copy of the game |

Bit of a shame, but no biggy. I can wait till next year and I still have a few loose ends to tie up before I need DLC to add something more to the game.
I have to say I have been surprised at how much I have enjoyed Fable 2. I expected it to be pretty good, but on relflection I think its great. A few rough edges in places, but hey what can you do. |

I seem to have happily avoided pretty much every bug that other people are experiencing. Not one crash or freeze, and not one mission breaker. Touch wood and all that.

The no-furniture furniture store is the only bug I've had so it's not so bad for me. This was just about the only DLC I was really looking forward to but I'm glad to see at least one software company deciding to push something out until next year, enjoy Christmas Lionhead: mine simply must meet that December deadline (we produce hardware design tools so it's not like there will be a whole lot of people eagerly awaiting them over the Christmas period). Christ, I'm sick of unnecessary December deadlines.

"Wow... most posters so far only see it as a 'shame'"
Well that is surely because its not actually that important. |

"Well that is surely because its not actually that important." Indeed, the DLC will keep. The bugs, however, are an incredible annoyance for those suffering them (thinking about it a little more, I've had the furniture and unresponsive child bugs but as the child is obviously not mine I wasn't that pushed, I'm sure his real father will take care of him ;) ) and the delay in releasing that patch is undoubtedly costing them in terms of goodwill as a lot of people are pretty much still unable to play the game they bought two months ago. However, I don't believe they've specifically tied the release dates of the patch and the DLC together so it's entirely possible that we will still see the patch this month. That said, I wouldn't hold my breath for it. :) |

Molyneux in unable to meet deadline non-shocker. Honestly, how can anyone be surprised? I bet he was born late!

I would say that DLCs should not be done for story based games.. Your first playthrough is always the most memorable (even if you replay as a different character type) so it is people who buy the game a bit after release who get the full experience of the main game plus all the addons.

MEH! I would have probably bought this if it had made the release date this week, but by the end of Jan I will be well into other games and Fable 2 will be a distant pleasant memory....probably won't bother with DLC for it now.
Still, not to mind, lots of other games out there. Kind unfortunate for them though, ( Lionhead ) talk about missing the ideal spot for a release date. Next time I see Fable will likely be when Fable 3 gets released now. |

I only started Fable 2 last week. The belated DLC really isn't too important.

Fable 2 was supposed to be my answer to my otherwise boring real-life. Instead; compared to Fable 1, it felt as though a cack-handed moron created it. So... in response: It's bloody important to me! Although you've got a level-head about this situation, I haven't and now I'm annoyed with myself and Lionhead/Microsoft. N.B: I loved the other Lionhead games out there, but this was shoddy and should've been 'held-off' for another year imo. Now my memory of the Fable franchise is tainted :( Still looking forward to their secret game. and again: It's bloody important to me, I don't give two shits about others, it's all about me, me, me! |
