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.

Well I've started my Fable Bum character. He generally dresses like a tramp and looks like one. Kept the original hairstyle cause I can't find anything messier right now. Have the tramp beard too. Haven't bought any houses. Instead, I just kick the door in and become a squatter. Drunk over 400 pints of beer and chucked my guts up around 25 times.
Had some wonderful moments as well. Such as people gathering round the podium, waiting for me to boast, only for me to puke all over the top of it. Not only that, but I followed it up by running down the podium and chucking my guts up again all over some womans feet.
Then there was the time I was happily downing pint after pint in the tavern, only for someone to walk accross me and take the beer I was about to enjoy next. So I punched him in the face with everything all blurry, then went on to have a big bar fight with a few more villagers before the guards joined in. Managed to beat one guard to the floor with my bum stick, kicked him a couple of times, then drank a few more pints and puked on him.
After a few arrow shots to the backside, I stumbled out of Oakvale and decided to continue the pub crawl with a quick teleport to South Bowerstone. 100 pints, 5 puking sessions and general lack of social manners later and I'd outstayed my welcome in Bowerstone. So it was time to do a few missions in my pants as beer money was starting to run low. Luckily my smelly homeless hero stumbled accross a few weapons that I dug up with the spade or fished out the water. Not to mention the general theft I was doing in all the towns.
After pawning the weapons and stolen goods, I was back in the taverns being merry and popular. I staggered into the Bowerstone school and the kids didn't like seeing a hunky, obese, drunken, tramp in his pants and decided to let me know it. So after throwing up in the school a couple of times, I beat some kids up and was once again chased out of town with several arrows stuck in my cheeks.
Life was a bit low and I was running out of beer and wanted to save the food I had for quests, so it was time to sneak back into Bowerstone and get into a bed. Things were too blurry to see properly though and I kicked in the door of the wrong house. I stummbled upstairs to find the family telling me to sod off, calling the guards and generally throwing abuse at me. So I punched the bloke in the face, swung for his wife then beat his kid to the floor and kicked him until the guards showed up and chased me out again...
After that, I managed to teleport to Oakvale and find a bed. Next on the agenda is to go find Twin Blade. Bum vs Bandit...... Should be interesting.

My brothers already completed it, well he did today, heh.
you shall love it.
Ordered. Yay.
If I did, I wouldn't have spent £36 on it.
Gah, was just about to order this and realised it's £35 from most places. Anyone know where I can get it for £30?
I've sold it on to some one who has yet to experience it on eBay.
I'll regret it, soon.

Nah, best way to get gold is tell the shop keepers to follow you then take them down the tavern and get them drunk. You've then got free reign of their merchandise and you can sell it back to them once they've sobered up.
Anyway, I've managed to clock up 45 hours on my first play through and I've just completed the game. Still got a lot to do though, intend on owning Albion by the time I've finished, oh and I've got a few more demon doors to open and things to collect.
