Fable 2 Can Shove It

Seriously, why do you do this to me Molyneux. Overall I really enjoyed Fable 2 and had a lot of fun playing the game but the achievements frustrate me to no end and I want my fucking dog back. I play through the whole game as a good character, and then I choose “The Sacrifice” option to continue on my quest to be good but I lose my dog forever.

At the time losing my dog didn’t seem like it would have been the worst thing, I thought maybe I could get a new dog or that it didn’t matter much. But, then I realized that I couldn’t complete the Archaeologist quest since I no longer had my dog with me to sniff out the dig spot. I mean, sure I could just start digging fucking everywhere randomly but that would take way too much time to do.

But wait, there is a way to get your dog back. You have to buy the Knothole Island DLC pack and you have the option to sacrifice an innocent bystander to revived your dog. That sounds all good and dandy but I don’t want to buy the fucking DLC. I shouldn’t have to pay an additional $10 to get my dog back to finish the quests of the standard game. I certainly don’t want to start the game back all the way from the beginning again, fuck that noise. And I also don’t have the option to just restart from an earlier savepoint like every other RPG in existence. I want my dog, I want to finish the quests, and I don’t want to have to restart or pay more money.

Also, the achievements seems to be created in a way that you almost have to play the game multiple times. When it came time for the decision at the Spire i ended up restarting my game right away after it gave me the achievement so i could then go back again and choose a different option to get that achievement. But there are other parts of the game that just seems the achievements are created in a way that requires you to play the game through twice because some of them are based upon a split decision. Once you choose to Good Quest A then you can’t do Evil Quest B when completing either quest gives an achievement so you have to play the game twice to get both, fuck that.

Basically, I am just a whiny bitch and enjoyed Fable 2 but is extremely annoyed by the little things in the game which make me like it a lot less. Ugh, why can’t a developer figure out how to not make fun games annoying?
