Fable 2 or how Google’s my friend..

June 23, 2009 – 12:50 am

I’ve finally been playing Fable 2 in the last few days and whilst I haven’t yet made up my mind if I like it, I did giggle at my Google search history earlier. This is a set of questions I had when I was playing it on Sunday and wasn’t quite in the mood for actual quests and just spent time exploring Bowerstone, the cusomisation options and interaction with NPC’s. In the order searched:

  • How to donate to the temple of light in Fable 2?

It appears standing in the middle of the room as the game indicates you does nothing, instead it’s the hidden away and inconspicious thing on the sidewall. Obviously.

  • How to accept a gift in Fable 2?

It’s by pressing the A button whilst highlighting the villager wanting to give a gift funnily enough.

  • How to manage a shop in Fable 2?

Why did no one tell me I don’t even get a discount if I own a shop!?

  • How to lose weight in Fable 2?

Apparently just by eating celery. Does this also work in real life?

  • Marry two villagers in Fable 2?

Hey, what can I say, I made the wrong choice of husband! Well, actually I married him to get store discount, but little did I know that marrying him would turn him into an ungrateful househusband? This is leading to the next question:

  • How to get divorced in Fable 2?

Yes, I know I could just kill him, but that would be evil, right? Divorcing him gives him half my money/estate however, so that isn’t an option. Plus, I should probably wait for the kid to grow up. That kid has been a baby for a long time. I wonder..

  • When do children grow up in Fable 2?

It appears they don’t unless a certain mission’s done in Fable 2. Seeing I don’t want anything spoilt I stopped reading there.. Coincidentally that point was soon moot when my husband left me. Yey. Shocked I was to discover, however:

  • Fable 2 child gone!

Apparently they go to the Orphanage once there’s a divorce. There must be a lack of child minders in Albion.. Also:

  • Where is the orphanage?

According to the official Lionhead forums it was taken out of the game. I’ll never get to see my little Steve and Adam grow up! Yes, the game chose those names!

Stats so far:
Husbands: 2
Wives: 1
Left by partner: 3
Children: 2
Children taken away by social services: 2

As for the matter of that drunk guy in Bowerstone that is madly in love with me and must have an obsession with Seafood, well, that’s for another time..
