Fable II gets bug-fixing patch News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

12 January, 2009

Lionhead has finally popped out a Fable II patch to clean up a variety of minor niggles and bugs, according to the official community site.

The title update addresses problems such as the unresponsive Abbot in Oakfield, the temperamental Guild Cave chest, your children being picked as assassination targets and the level of stock in the Bowerstone furniture shop.

All of which clears the way rather nicely for the brand new Knothole Island downloadable content arriving tomorrow, priced at 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

To prepare adventurers, Lionhead has updated the Tales of Albion website with a brief summary of the four main areas on Knothole Island: Village, Winter Shrine, Summer Shrine and Storm Shrine. And within these, of course, are plenty more quests to best, items to horde and cockney characters to chat with.

Alongside Knothole Island there will also be a sprinkling of freebies, including Knight's Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion and a collectible silver book. There's a premium theme for the Xbox 360 dashboard, too, if you like that sort of thing.

Stomp over to our Fable II gamepage for associated shots and videos.

It also added the achievements already. can't wait, still right slap bang in the middle of my 2nd playtthough it. I'm beginning to think the game is actually better than Fallout 3 (which I loved).

Looking forward to this, it will be good to get back to Fable 2.

Fable 2, Fallout 3 and GTA4, 2009 is going to have some great DLC

Likewise Kendoji, my first 360 DLC (I've got loads of stuff from PSN though... Maybe I'm not the 360's target audience?).

Do we get our dead dog back?

You only get your dog back if you choose to save your loved ones at the end of the story quests…

Whee! Spoiler tags! Yeah, the dead dog isn't a bug. That said I'd like a "kid-with-a-box-of-puppies" quest if you decide to go for the other two endings. If you're planning on continuing to play on after you complete then it does strongly steer you down the "Needs of the Few" ending.

Can't wait for the DLC. I've played this to death and beyond.

When patches are brought out to fix completely broken games, they should also come with a personal apology from the developers. We are paying £30-40 for games and so expect a finished and polished product.
