Started it again today despite not having properly finished the 2nd play through (as a good wizard on the final 3rd of the game).
Going through as a fighter-spellcaster (yes they've even dumbed down 'Mage') with the aim of opening some more demon doors and taking over the main town in someway (probably at the end if I can).
I'm a little over 2 hours in and I've got some previously untried spells (early versions of summon, battle charge, beserk etc) which have influenced the fighting greatly - making it worthy of playing through again. Done a lot more thieving this time too (although I still haven't tried the rogue skills yet - archery is also being left for another time: 'Thief-Archer sounds good').
Got into the inn cellar this time, found some new books and items, stumbled on some fishing guy I never met last time around and met another guilder in the inn at night who I'd never seen before.
A nice surprising and entertaining third play through so far.

Yeah, I did second time round. I thought it was a decent enough item, well worth going back for.

Just read on IGN that apparently it looks like Microsoft will be releasing that Fable : The Lost Chapters thing to Xbox 360 with obviously better graphics.
Should be good though I really want a next gen sequel.

I looked up what's in the chest a while back and it wasn't a great item. Some of these harder secrets really aren't worth the bother.
I was a little disappointed with the object I found in the inn cellar. Mabye it needs another search...
I opened the hit count door and what was in there was quite cool.

That's one of the few things I didn't do. I don't think I ever opened the demon door that asks you to increase your hit counter either, oh and I never got the weapon from the temple of.....evil thing (I forget the name).

Ah right, I'll have to try that sometime.
Also I've tried to play as a thief-archer type of character, the thief part was easy but playing as an archer was pretty hard. I found it too tempting to just run in and fight with my axe.

There's a statue just up the hill from the guild, it gradually turns. When you look at it and it says it's facing Bowwater or whatever it's called then you can get into the inn doors in the city.
I did browse a walkthrough* a few months back, and remembered this when going through this time.
*Wanted to find if the other Demon Doors were worth bothering with (the ones I didn't open first time round don't hold anything amazing, from what I can remember but I still want to open them all). :)

Ooh, how did you do that? I've played through twice and seen the cellar doors but I haven't been able to get through them.
