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.

Ok I am convinced now was gonna buy SW:Battlegrounds but reading this convinced me I am off to buy Fable right now it sounds great. Hope it lasts me till Halo 2.
Finished.
Got through 3 Demon Doors.
The evil path I took is probably the easiest though as you level up faster and generally don't have to have a conscience about your actions.
Plenty more to get out of this.
Many nods to OOT along the way. Pretty easy but then again so was Max Payne.
Can't believe one of the localisation people's middle name's Balzac.
Total Time: 11 hours and 18 minutes.
Right I'm going to have a wander :)

I stole me copy from SR yesterday. If there is no Norfolk accent I will be disappointed.
Mav - I think a good amount of it is actually shagging time. ;-)) Shame you can't have kids, mind you, or is it ? I'd have a whole village in one house by now. ;-))
Just under 9 and a half hours in now.
Starting to miss a few side quests because they don't fit in with my character.
"You want me to do something good for a small amount of gold?"
*Looks at the 1000's of gold he already has*
"Swivel"
*Middle finger* *Cocky stance* *Evil laugh*

Already said there were brummie, scouse and newcastle accents. :P

That's what I did.
"Anyone who calls me chicken chaser from now on gets a new hole they didn't want"
"Hey chicken chaser!"
"Right!" *Goes on rampage*

We should all get a digital cam set up and take a couple of pictures of our characters.
Mine now has a mage outfit on but uses a flaming sword.
I AM THE ANGEL OF DARKNESS! :D

Haven't found any in villages yet. Just speak to the travelling sales men you run into in the woods and other places on your travels, some of them are barbers and some are tattoo type guys.
I've covered my guy in god knows how many tattoos, my wife says they look manly and that my trousers really show my power. I laughed and then bedded the wench.
Found out one way of getting houses and shops on the market. I made one of the shop keepers in Oakvale follow me to the graveyard and then decapitated the poor b'sterd with a well placed arrow. The damn shop costs 33,000 now that it's on the market, I certainly won't be affording that for a while yet.
Next thing on my to do list is to get the old granny in Rose Cottage to be my second wife, should be amusing listening to the groans as I have crusty old person sex.
