Nice graphics, nice setting, easy combat, lots of farmer accents.
So far I like, it all feels very Terry Pratchet/Harry potter. Mainly because of the accents, still cool game so far.
I got my guy an oriental moustache and everyone keeps calling him ugly. I swear the next person to laugh at him is gonna get my katana sword up their jacksey. Everyone keeps calling me Chicken Chaser for some reason, probably because I keep punting them around everywhere.
I've tried to hold back on killing people for no real reason so far, god knows I came close to killing one guy though as he just wouldn't shut up about fishing. Instead I farted at him and stole his bed for the night, tried flirting with him also but he just laughed at me.
The world's a lot bigger than I expected, haven't actually come across any villages yet as I've been mainly kicking bandits asses in the woods.
Still, I like so far.

This game sounds awesome. :D
Just over 6 hours in now.
Had scars allover, now have chainmail + a new sword.
This game gets MUCH BETTER further on. There's a situation later which provides some great battles later on, you'll be familiar with it from other RPG's but it's MUCH better realised and implemented in Fable.
I finally had to upgrade my health and double the bar as the game's difficulty suddenly leapt up and doubled. Still on my original toughness though which means if an arrow gets through my armour it bloody hurts!
I'm now known as Deathbringer and I am now famous across the land.
The Merchants have known of my true nature for a while now, I think it's time I conquered a few villages too. *Evil laugh* *Cocky stance* *Middle finger*
There's a lot more I could say about how great this game gets but obviously my lips are sealed.
Lady Grey's aren't however. ;)

i got some scars but in some really cool places!!!! The girls love it. What about this tan thing is it possible to get tanned skin? And it said you could crush flowers what happened there?
Heh
I was thinking last night that I might at some point attemp to complete the whole game in my underpants, that'd be intresting.
Just married the same barmaid you're talking about in Bowerstone, she keeps giving me some pretty good weapons actually but I'm not strong enough to use any of them properly at the moment.
Everyone keeps on ripping on the scars on my characters face and caling him ugly, think I'm gonna have to invest in a helmet at some point and wear it when I'm fighting.

I have the best weapon available to me: A flaming (augmented) cleaver.
*Dons Borat voice*
It is niiiiice! Yees.
I think if I use a terrible weapon and don't upgrade my character at all this game might be a challenge. :D
Seriously though if I'd spread my xp over various abilities and not just strength + speed I'd probably be having a tougher time.
Might try the game with the worst weapon I can find next time, just to see.
"3 hours later: you have finally killed the Balverine with the knitting needle of fluff"
Hmmm mabye not. :S

My wife is the tavern girl with auburn hair in South Bowerstone. Ooooooooo, she just gave me a new weapon to use - nice. Not as strong as some other weapons I have, but then what I like about this game is that you don't have to upgrade to the best weapons to progress.
I'm on full evil so I doubt my character'll be getting married this time around.
Think I can guess which door you've opened Tilt.

i also changed my name to ranger cos i kept paying fines when i killed people for calling me chicken chaser.
Still not married as i cant be arsed but im working on it. People worship the ground i step on but i get drunk lots!
Heh
I did the breaking down the door thing, punched it not expecting anything to happen and then suddenly it exploded in my face (the door). I was pretty drunk at the time so legging it out the town was a bit of a chore, ran into many things on the way.
Is that the girl from the tavern in the first village you come to, or a different one?
I'm on a search for a wedding ring at the moment to give to her. I've got a load of bints after me but for some reason she seems to be the least annoying out of them all. Even though I've got scars over my face and tats all over my body she still wants to be spit roasted, need to decorate the house I've bought as well as it looks kinda grotty at the moment.
Man, that last paragraph of mine makes the game sound like The Sims.
