Second batch of Fable II DLC revealed News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft and Lionhead have revealed the second batch of Fable II downloadable content, which will be arrive in May for 560 Microsoft Points (GBP 4.76 / EUR 6.72).
Dubbed See the Future, the main story revolves around three cursed items possessed by Murgo the Trader. In investigating these, players will once more control the fate of Albion, and eventually be rewarded with a glimpse into the future and what awaits those born into the heroic bloodline.
Key attractions in See the Future include the Colosseum arena, which apparently puts the previous Crucible challenge to shame, and Murgo the Trader with his wide array of exotic wares - like a potion that turns dogs into different breeds.
There are also some new quests; one involves a town trapped within a snow globe, and another features a cursed knight whose torment needs ending.
On top of that are new legendary artefacts, creatures, clothes, hairstyles, make-up, expressions, tricks and collectibles.
Pop over to our Fable II - See the Future gallery for the first screenshots.

Shame these downloadable content packs weren't already on the disc; Fable II is laughably short compared to longer, better, RPGs like Lost Odyssey.
"Colosseum arena, which apparently puts the previous Crucible challenge to shame" Let's hope, the game was far too easy too. I'm no master of gaming, but not even being close to death once? Getting so bored of easy combat that I choose to avoid enemies? Nice work Lionhead. 10/10 for you. Haha.

I would love to see DLC combo packs as would be interested in getting this and Knothole for a combined lower price...800 or 100 for the two would be ideal

There's certain games that always seem to attract bitching in the comments thread, unfortunatly Fable 2 is one of those.
Anyway, looking forward to the new content! |

Sounds like both. The arena and snowglobe town sound like new areas to me. |

"Shame these downloadable content packs weren't already on the disc"
Well I suppose technically it is a shame that Fable 2 didn't have Lost Oddysey already on the disc. It is also a shame that the summer in England is short and puctuated with frequent periods of rain. ;) |

Not sure how many hours I've put into Fable 2, but its certainly more than the 10 that seems to be the satisfactory average these days.
I don't much care about the hours though so long as its not taking the piss (which Fable 2 certainly isn't). Quality not quantity. |

Any game which your girlfriend is happy to just watch you play gets a thumbs up in my book. Any game that gets said girlfriend insisting you go shag everything that moves without protection is something extra special :)
Held off on the last DLC; this seems to offer a good bit more. All I need to know though, is will my doggie get brought back to life by purchasing it? |

@miiiguel
I am led to believe that woot! is appropriate (and is actually an acronym of "Want One Of Those") I'm no expert on how kids speak on the streets these days though :) |

All of this sounds all kinds of excellent and I cannot wait.
@ smelly: you can do a quest to bring him back to life. Not sure what it is, as I chose the "the needs of the few", but my brother chose the "needs of the many", and managed to resurrect his dog a little bit later in the game. |

I see the future and I see: me not buying this.
Loved fable 2, but it was far too short for an rpg, so I feel kind of ripped off this wasn't implemented in the first place. Plus your doggy doesn't have to die, depending on the ending choice you make...my doggy is still by my side :D Me and Rambo are friends till the end!

I called my dog Dave, in homage to a dog I sort of adopted when I was travelling in the middle east years ago.
/hope he is still ok out there /he isn't, as he would be at least 105 in dog years by now /sniff @HazySpy There are oodles of copies on eBay. You are bound to be able to find a cheap on on there. |
