That was my SO playing actually, I was on the PC playing Fallout 3 behind him and I saw you floating around. I don't think he mentioned you sending an invite of any kind, but we did see your ugly-ass orb floating around. He was becoming a 5-star smith at the time and you and another of our friends was hanging around at the time too.

Did you send an invite or something like that? He says he doesn't recall seeing one.

I just sent my autograph over.

I saw it for £29 and was tempted, but want to prioritise Fallout 3, GoW2 and RB2.

It's a relaxing, brainless, action RPG. If you've played the first Fable you already know how this one is. There are control differences but the game plays pretty much the same.

Having beaten the story I have no desire to continue playing or to replay it, so it was a waste of money for me.

I don't even know what this means.

You can hand out autograph cards as gifts to people in the game. I tried to give you my autograph. So you should feel blessed.

[Asher]

You just did it for the achievement.

I guess I'm not playing it properly. From what I have read in various forums (being a bachelor myself, and not far in to the plot), enjoyment in the game comes from marrying some helpless and infatuated woman, beating her when she refuses to cook the food you want, psychological abusing her with [evil laugh], bringing prostitutes and other women home to sleep with in front of her, and possibly murdering her when you get tired of it.

This is worse than GTA in that respect.

[DrSpike]

That's both absurd and worrying. One should never marry helpless women.

[Asher]

I married a woman, had a child, slaughtered the woman then married three men.

It's really every man's fantasy...

[DrSpike]

Hmm, and FPS games get bad rep for being violent.

Pretty on the nose from what I've read.

I've beaten the game as a good guy and am playing through now as evil. The problem with being evil and corrupt is that the economy is so ****ty in the towns that none of the vendors have quality items.

Also, the Collector's Edition is garbage. Mine didn't come with the DLC code, so I had to wait 2 weeks to get it via email. And what do I get for an extra $20? A weapon and set of clothing that are pretty much useless from the start, since I can already buy better items in stores, and an extra dungeon to go through. Woop-de-doo.

Otherwise, the game IS enjoyable in many respects, but I can't help but see it as a letdown.

I just killed them all. Who needs them?

[DrSpike]

Boris, apparently.

I own all the shops, so I need vendors for my income.
