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.

Got the axe this time. Not using it as I'm going down the magic route.

Have a look at those quests at the start they look very cool (damn it!)

who really cares the rest is pure gaming gold! What are your weapon combos? I have a axe that i found burried under a statue in oakvale and a great bow that cost 2000 from the blacksmith.

Hmmmm these really early quests seem to be red herrings.

They're the ones at the very start of you leaving the guild (snow troll etc) but it says you don't have enough renown and if you go to meet Maze they disappear. So I haven't met Maze I've gone and found the odd mini quest to get my renown up, so I do two of those and come back...

Guess what? Those early quests have gone again. :(

Fable gets a black mark for being stupid at the start. :S

Goody goody mage this time around. Found some really early quests I'd missed because I'd been a little too good at following guild orders in the beginning of my last character's slaughterfest.

Got a demon door open in just over 45 minutes of game time.

Really enjoying the spells too. :)

Odd thing is I've been doing good deeds but I put on some dark clothes and my alignment's dipped into evil already. :S

Yeah my character is turning into a right big girls blouse. Besides the halo, my character has butterflies fluttering around him - no wonder I seem to be attracting alot more homo love from some of the blokes lately....

Damn this thread.

Now I'm begging my mum to take me shopping so I can buy it.

I hate you all.

I'm on about 13 hours and I still haven't really touched that many of the main quests.

I've now got a wife in Bowerstone and another one in Oakvale. I intend on killing that old lady in Rose Cottage so I can buy it for me and one of those birds with the nice voices in the Guild.

Managed to finally get the unlock doors skill so now I can break into any house I see fit. Only problem is it's a lot harder than I expected. First time I tried it I did it too early in the evening so the family wasn't asleep and they called the guards on me straight away. Second time they were asleep but a guard clocked what I was doing and fined me then chucked me out of the town.

Another intresting thing is I've been banned from one of the shops in Oakvale. I guess it's because they kept catching me shop lifting, everytime I enter the shop now the guy calls the guards. I intend on bribing the guards at some point today and then breaking into the shop and killing the guy in his sleep.

Oh and I'm slowly growing a halo above my head, not really wanting one of those though so starting today I'm gonna start doing scenic tours of the woods, finishing up with my sword being plunged into their face. Hopefully that should make me a bit eviler.
