When it was originally announced, Lionhead and Microsoft had promised that we'd be seeing Fable II's first downloadable content, "Knothole Island," on December 12. That's tomorrow for the calender-impaired.
But according to CVG, Lionhead has confirmed that the Knothole Island pack will "definitely be hitting Xbox LIVE on December 22." So maybe they originally had their 1s and 2s mixed up, right?
Whatever the case, this should give a lot of people -- myself included -- time to actually sit down and see Fable II to its completion. Personally, I'm not too keen on dropping 800 MS Points on an expansion to a game which I haven't even finished yet. But surprisingly, I know more people who have completed Fable II than haven't, so I'm clearly in the minority here.
Do your holiday plans include visiting Knothole Island this year?

Okay, in all seriousness, yes I will be downloading this, and not doing anything sexual involving either Fable II, Peter Molyneux, or Lionhead. (haha, head)
(Chris Rock's Voice) YEAH I SAID IT.
I beat this game in 2 days. Got the gargoyles and demon doors opened. And now what... I have to pay money for an island that was FREE in Fable 1? Fuck that.
This game absolutely sucked and I couldn't wait for it to come out when i first heard about it. I ran through this game and WITHOUT using the money cheats. In the beginning, I just bought what property I could slowly accumulating money till I had everything. I have like 4 Million dollars ANDNOTHING TO BUY!!! Oh wait I can buy new houses on the 15 20 dollar NEW ISLAND.
Eat shit Peter and whatever fag thinks this game is even slightly comparable to a fun time. All I did was get my gun power up and blast face all day and it was so repetitive it made me sick.
I WOULD pay for DLC that included FUCKING ARMOR!!!
Oh yeah, no armor in these days because bullets don't effect your royal shirt... Or sword stabs...
Where the FUCK is Anthony Burch to help me shit on a game that is overpriced, repetitive, and a fucking waste of time.
I want DLC for fallout 3. That's a fucking game!!!
I agree 100%. There was so much wrong/missing from the game; it literally felt like an RPG as made by Fisher Price. Everything was simplified(read: dumbed-down) to the point of being tedious and monotonous. Couple that with a shitty and poorly told story and one of the most anti-climactic final boss battles, and the end result is a piss-poor game.
That said, I doubt I'll be paying for an expansion. Maybe they'll get bored and remove the price in a year... or I'll get bored and buy it in a year if next year's line-up continues to look as drab.
I know. Shocking, right?
I'll most likely grab the DLC.
Nice timing though, release it in the xmas season while there is no other good game to buy :P
Also, the anti-climactic boss fight is ALWAYS a let-down.
All in all, I wanted to love this game, but several fatal flaws in programming killed it for me. PATCH THAT SHIT!!!
For what its worth, there is armor in the DLC.
What now?
@brosef
The patch is in certification
@article
I'm definitely looking forward to this. I'm having a blast with Fable II, and haven't been affected by the bugs.
Doucheba.... I mean...
@Tubatic
GREAT! For your "what now?", I believe my question still stands. WHY, in the world do I have to pay extra money for ARMOR?
My point was that the game they made (NOT UPDATED) has no knight type armor AND I ALSO have to """buy""" DLC to get an island that was featured in the original title.
So... 'What now' is correct.
Its called bullshit
Analogy here:
I go to buy a bag of weed and the dealer gives me an empty bag for 20 bucks. I look at him and say, "HEY! I bought weed, man, and you gave me and empty bag."
And if he turns around and says, "oh, sorry, you paid for the bag but the weed is an extra 5 bucks."
I would say, "well that's fucked up and not buy any more product from said Tubati... oops
I mean from said douche.
Oh yeah for anyone else... I am not blaming anyone... not even Peter M., though he could get a swift kick in his British teeth by the chicken kicker. I can only blame myself for buying this dirty weed.
That is all.
Whoa. Look, all I gave you was 1) information that it seemed like you didn't know 2) a followup question on if this made a difference for you.
CHILL THE FUCK OUT DICKWAD.
I understand its the internet and all, but at least around here, we have these little fucking things like civile discussions and shit. I was just interested in if that new peice of information realyl made a difference to you, which in a round about asshole sort of way, no, it doesn't really matter to you.
If you're going to act like an asshat about someone telling you something you didn't know and asking you "What now?", you can fuck right off.
Seriously.
I could have done the same. Pulled out my sword, whacked X, killed everything. Instead, i had fun. I teleported around, i used flourishes, i pulled out my gun and shot people in the face when i felt like it.
Dont claim a game is boring just because you decided and, it seems, dedicated yourself to playing it a boring way.
Meanwhile, i dont remember bloodstone in Fable 1. Or the Spire. Ooo man they should be freely patched in!
Its not a perfect game, but frankly, if you dislike it this much, why come to an article about it to bitch.
You have a blog that. Or even forums.
