Ooh this game is clever. I inadvertently missed one of the main storyline quests out by searching around and found someone who had a better idea where my Dad was than the person I was originally going to talk to. It completed the first quest but didn't give me the achievement. When I finally bumped into the person I was first meant to speak to, and spoke to him about my Dad, it fully completed the quest for me, and gave me the achievement. I've also found a lot more of the item I was missing for one other quest, so it looks like when I'm done I'll only have the karma, speech and hacking achievements left

Clever. Sounds a good get round.

Sounds a lot like something that happened to me in Fable 2 where I slayed a farmer, but later on all guides said I needed to be his friend to gain access to his basement -- obviously, having killed him that was an issue. The next time I returned to his house there was a fresh grave and I was able to dig up the key needed.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, there's four in a crashed truck on the road East of Old Olney, and three in the place where they're manufactured... provided you've thrown a spanner in the works.

I also found about 6 behind the stairs on the ground floor in Eulys(spelling?) house in Paradise Falls.

I've 27 now

Nearly there.

I actually found 5 in that truck, which was nice

Not been to the place they're manufactured yet, though it is on my map.

I've been there but can't remember if I picked them up or not, certainly not that many anyway. Will have to go back as I need 8 in addition to the 3 in the factory mentioned above

Yup and he tells me I'm fine!

So yeh! You might as well call me stumpy cos that's what I am!

I'm hoping my lower leg will get blown off again at some point so I can fix it again and then hopefully it will de-stumpify itself

Woot, hadn't picked them up the first time, so with them and a few others, I now have 27 with 3 left at the factory. I'll hopefully be finishing up that and my final quest later today

Right, everything is done now that I can do in this playthrough. Every mission done, every bobblehead found, over 100 locations found, every behemoth killed, the lot. Only got the hacking, speech and karma achievements left, but I don't think I can go through the game again any time soon, not after around 75 hours of gameplay in just under 2 weeks. May sell it while it's got a high value and perhaps pick up the CE in 6 months when it's dirt cheap.

Belmit · 14-11-2008, 01:09

I have everything except the other karma achievements, and that damned speech one. Have about 42 logged and no-one of any importance left to talk to!

Davey_Pitch · 14-11-2008, 01:58

I wonder if it tracks stuff like the speech achievement over multiple characters. It would certainly make the achievement easier to get.
