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.

damn!! i'm trying to be evil... my attractiveness is higher than my evilness and i still can't get people to fall in love with me!!!

EDIT- I don't regret getting the game a day late. Gameplay sent my a limited edition Fable DVD with "making of" and some other stuff... it's so cool.

Yeah I had a pretty decent night on the game too. Decided that I'm going to make that town where you kill the white balverine mine. I just forgot the name for a moment and can't be bothered to look it up. Knot something.

Anyway, I walked in with my evil character and basically murdered 89 people, mostly guards and got 200,000 in fines which of course I didn't pay up a penny. Most properties are now up for sale and I bought a couple while I was clubbing the guards. Gonna earn a load of cash, then go back and buy up more of the houses and shops. I'll keep the marital home for myself and rent out all the other stuff. Once I'm the Bill Gates of the town, I'll probably get married and stop murdering the population.

My evil character is pretty cool now - besides being totally evil with the glowing red eyes and red mist, I've managed to make him attractive to the opposite sex (and gay men of course). So people are either head over heels for him, or completely terrified. ;-)

Had an excellent night in Fable tonight. Managed to finally complete my Plate armour suit and it looks f****ng badass. Only problem is it turns out that one of the demon doors is looking for the Light Plate armour so I'll have to go searching for that now.

'Evicted' a couple of families from their houses in Oakvale. Rudely awoke them by breaking into their house at night and then killed them in front of each other with my katana sword. The screams could be heard for miles around "You won't get away with this". Shows how rubbish the security in Oakvale is, think I'll make a habit of keeping my breaking in sessions to there, the town security tend to hang around the shopping areas.

Tried to get a house in North Bowerstone but they're far too expensive. 73,000 for a normal house, no wonder it's supposedly the posh part.

Anyway, I'm still loving this game and have tons more stuff to do.

Something like that.

Or just write SPOILER WARNING above your main post.

Fighting with only ranged magic is bloody hard, I've had to get some magic for my sword and toughen up a lot.

and those spells are damn expensive when it's hard to earn xp.

Being a mage is tough. :)
