I'm incredibly nice without even trying hard

It's a little annoying though, every time I go to a village, I have a congregation of villagers following me around telling me how wonderful I am and how much they love me :/ They get in the way!

Next playthrough will be pure evil, it'll be fun

A little, yes (though my trip to Sainsburys wasn't just for Fable alone).

It could have been £10 if I had pre-ordered at GAME at £39.99.

Well I must say I’m really enjoying this game. I suspect I'm about halfway through the game plot wise maybe a little less time wise as I am suspecting quite a few more enemies, so far its just been bandits, the orc type cave dwellers and a few lycanthropes, I've seen Banshees alluded to in the loading tips and I’m expecting some higher level monsters.

The part that Jen mentioned about being told to doing all the adventures is because you need to leave the mainland for a while and the time limits all expire so do get your house in order when its mentioned that you are going on a trip.

I haven't married yet, I accidentally proposed to someone Opppps and since then I've not dared to mess about with the concept of marriage, the idea of being nagged at to go home and play with the kid would interrupt my game play, I'll leave marriage till free play at the end if its an option and if not I'll experiment with it and flirt with evil in a new game. Like Jen I just find it hard to take the evil path in these games, right now my character is glowing with good power and is loved by everyone he sees, in fact the number of hearts above heads and proposals are getting silly, everyone loves a quick sock puppet sideshow and a protracted fart expression (my character is a veritable Desmo in that area!

I'm liking the dog companion the fact he hunts out treasure and fights for you, on the negative side I don't think the spell system has been very well thought out, I only ever use one spell and have upgraded it to level 4 which makes the whole screen glow with manna energy and can if fully charged wipe out a decent enemy with a single shot! Missions wise I think this is one of the best games I have played, the missions are varied enough and many have an internal storyline (the tranny at the temple of light when you return to the mainland is very funny). The dynamic consequence system rocks, I can actually see how my actions have effected a large area in of the game (tip: be generous and help your ncp friends) although I am disappointed I didn't get another chance to kick the bully who poked Dogface with a stick in the childhood section of the game, maybe he'll turn up later.

Technically there is no doubt in my mind that this is a masterpiece, no its not quite as free as Oblivion but in some ways Oblivion was so free and so huge it led to frustration and losing ones way, in this the purpose is always clear but there is enough to do on the side to give distraction, I spent ages chopping wood and forging but the rewards are so well calculated that it was worth it, I seldom have any cash but I do own the whole gypsy encampment and a few stall around the place and I have the best weapons available without upsetting the fight dynamics.

If I have any tips they are to upgrade your dog ASAP (Dogface is level 4 in everything and has many tricks) as this enables him to find a lot more treasure and from a longer distance and also to buy the skill which allows you to aim the gun as this seems to activate a mission which is spread across the entire game and in every area and which leads to more treasure!

Can't say a thing bad about Fable II its definitely one of the game that’s kept me the most hooked on the 360 and I honestly believe that its the step forward in console gaming that will get other publishers to up their game.

Oh oh oh I thought of a thing I don't like!!!!!!!

I don't like the system of seeing other players hovering in in the air and I particularly don't like it when people decide to spectate or shoot at the shooting range when you're there because they appear in front of you and you CAN'T BLOODY SEE! and although I am keen that people are aware that 'the cake is a lie' its annoying when it stops you getting a high score because its obsuring the targets
