Bill beat it Monday night. Now he's going around trying to become a land baron. He's so good it's disgusting.

wow... if bill really told you he beat it, he's lying.
of course, he may not be... you beat it when you die, really... most people wanna die of old age... but in order to do that you have to play it for 475 hours straight.
(475 hours of gameplay is ALOT)
And you technically only really BEAT it when you've done everything that can be done.

Oh ffs, he beat the main plot line. I saw the end credits. Obviously he hasn't done everything in the game.

The main plot is, but there's so much to do it doesn't really matter. I've only done the first 2 quests because I'm busy with other fun, non-plot stuff.

It is a fairly fun game.

[Smile]

Chicken-chaser is the default title (you probably figured that out)-- you have to buy a new title to get folks to stop calling you that.

Was anyone able to beat the Apprentice's time running to the Demon Door?

Bill did.

And, yes, we did find the guy selling titles. He's now piemaster and I'm arseface.

"Give us a smile"

Though my favorite line of the game so far is in the third plot quest. Whisper said, "You really like killing Hobbes, don't you?"

Obviously, he spent 31 minutes doing it.

(I have no idea, I didn't see that part because I was on the phone with AJ and managed to completely miss his childhood after the village burned down)

Hey, I have a problem with my xbox. The problems actually been around for a long while, but it's only now affecting game play seriously.

When i got the dvd plug in, and began playing dvds, i noticed that whenever i paused a dvd for too long and started it playing again, the disc would mess up and freeze and i'd have to turn off the xbox to get it to work again.

Now what's happening is that when i'm playing fable, if i go to an inventory screen for too long without doing anything, or have been talking to a merchant, or even sometimes when i go from one area to another that needs to be loaded, and run rather than walk through the gate, the game will skip or freeze up and tell me i have a damaged disc, which obviously isn't the case.

I've already lost data on my game multiple times and have now taken to saving any chance i get, but it's annoying. anyone else ever have this problem with their xbox?

I DID have that problem, yes. Or one similar to it. I went to Gamestop.com.... you can probably go wherever it is that sells used Xbox's in you area, if you don't have a gamestop, and they looked at it and said the only thing they could do was buy the Xbox from me and give me a discount on a new or used one... but they said I should call customer support. I did right there from there store and the guy on the other side said I would have to send it in and wait while they fixed it and send it back. A two month process. I didn't. I bought a new one.
So it depends. Do you have patience. Or not?

My advice?
Sell it to gamestop or the like... game crazy or some other gaming store like that...
Don't tell them the problem with it, though. As long as it can run for five minutes, they don't give a rats ass.
Buy a new Xbox. NEW. Try not to get one used. and there you go.
Yes, you have to spend like an extra 140 bucks... but you just have to ask if it's worth it.
I think it is.

I beat the race to the door and back. It took me about three tries. I also just passed the main story. I'll start again in a few days and try to do all the side quests.

People call me Strider in the game and I have 3 wives in different towns.

Does anyone else find that it's easiest to fight with a bow? I'm not a fan of the using the sword and I haven't really used magic that much.

You have three wives.. but do you own a deli?

I like using the bow, just as a personal preference. I'm digging magic, though.

I got my wife to play the game. She stayed up until midnight playing it.

Nope... but you sound like one of those "I'm hungry... let's order 5 ex-large pizzas"... hell... I'm one of them too... So i factored that in...
Depending on where you sell it and the condition it's in... they'll buy it for anywhere from 40 to 100 bucks.
I sold mine for like 89 bucks or something.

It was quite shorter than I expected, but Lionhead has redeemed themselves for that so called game named Black & White.

I'm at the very end, wrapping up all the quests I haven't finished yet; I also hear that if you wait through the credits you can still play afterwards...

I will play through again being evil this time.
but that only really will amount to about 20 hours playtime for me.
My longest chicken kick is 33 something.

This game is amazing! I was really torn between this and SW:Battlefronts. I was very disappointed with morrowind and was worried Fable would be the same but I absolutely love it. SO glad I bought it. Got it last night and played until 2:30. Got up this morning and have been playing since 8:30. Just thought I'd take a break to post how freakin' sweet this game is.

I couldn't play black and white because you were required to slap around your creature.

Couldn't do it. Made me feel bad for it.

Ugh I'm the exact opposite, I think Morrowind is still the reigning champion of RPGs while, sorry guys, Fable was pretty dissapointing. I mean, I beat the main quest last night and then I had to return it so that's all but it just didn't seem as elaborate and have as many details as Morrowind did. That's just what I thought.

Don't know why I didn't like morowind. Just couldn't get into it. where as with Fable, I can't put the stupid controller down. Just, oh wait...

Spoilers...

Realeased mom. OK, that's probably all...

End Spoilers.....

I've been kind of bouncing back and fourth betwen main story line and fun side stuff. I have no idea how much is left but I'd guess I'm fairly deep into it. My stats are all about half full so hopefully there is still a bit left. I noticed a funny thing. After all the crap my wife and I have gone through in real life I notice my caracter has become a bit obsessed with catching wife number one cheating. [Smile] I think she is. She just isn't all that freindly towards me. maybe she found out about my other wives. hmm....

but anyways, this game rocks and I have midterms due tomorrow and I still haven't started grading my stack of papers yet. STupid game!!! [Smile]

Apparently the character can woo maidens or longshoremen, depending on your taste.

Most of the reviews I've found say the specific reasons for the rating are found on the box itself.

A mature 13 year old. Hence the rating "Mature".
