i'm considering buying fable 2 but when i played fable 1 i felt slightly let down after the developers said it was full to the brim of content..... is fable 2 empty apart from the story line or are there lots of side quests and miscellaneous things to do in the game?

thanks

They exaggerated a bit, but the game is still pretty good.

so there is a decent amount of side quests among other things?

the main thing im worried about is just the fact i dont wanna spend all the money i just got on a game that may not even last me that long

well... this time, you don't get money for doing main quests... so if you want better weapons, nice houses gifts for families, etc... you're going to have to take jobs; which can be: wood-cutting, blacksmith, and bartender. Which can keep you occupied for a while... however, you can also invest in houses and rent them out, and this is where I think the game is flawed, because it is waayy to easy to gain money this way. You don't even have to have the xbox on to earn money this way.

There are also plenty of side-quests to keep u playing as well. So, to answer your question... yes, there is enough to keep you playing, it's just the story that didn't excite me that much... great game though

Fable 2 has tons of side quests and a very interactive world. In fact, the amount of side quests and other stuff, like jobs, overpower the story. I was disappointed with how short the story is. Fable 2 is a great game if you liked the first one. It's exactly what the first one should have been.

Its way too short, if you want a game for longevity and story then Fable 2 is sadly not it. I found the story compelling but very short and very easy. There are plenty of side quests but a dedicated gamer could easily have it all wrapped up in 2 weeks or less.

I would say Rent Fable 2 to be honest, see if you like it then consider buying it.

Spoilers in terms of number of outfits to wear and quests types, weapons.

Its a great game and has its wonderful moments. If your expecting to be blown away with content. . .well you probably will not be. There are not a whole lot of side quests I would say about 10-15 and they are pretty short (a dungeon at the most). If you add demon doors thats about ten more. If you add grabbing keys and other objects (I'll try not to spoil it!) then add two more long searching quests. There is not a whole lot of outfits (no armor). The side quests have very little story to them (save a few). But I HOPE that there will be more downloadable content which will make this game really worth it. Is it worth the money. Hell yeah, perhaps I liked it so much I just want more.There are few legendary weapons, probably about ten. The main story is way too short--really just about three five sections of quests. I think it took about 2 1/2 weeks to be played out pretty much.

I don't think Lionhead has died in any way. And i like what I have played of both Fable games myself, so it depends on the gamer.

not die, LIE. like what they said about open world envoirment...ya in 2 zones you can run across a field, the rest are just pathways like fable 1.

but they did the same thing for fable 1 to hype it, i remember reading one thing that said you dont even have to do the quest, you can just fish and stuff, then you load up the game and find out that fishing does nothing

yeah there are so many side quest missions the main mission will last you 12 hours if you stick to it but you probably wont cause there are so many things to do. like getting maried and having kids buying houses and side quest this game could easily last you 30+ hours probably more depending how you play it.

Fable for me was a great game, like the you have to do jobs now instead of just doing the stroy and getting tons of money, I liked the story and love the combat system , its a bt short thought. Another thing I didnt like was that it had alot of glitches of framerate issues.

Fable 2 lived up to the hype, and is one of the best RPG's to ever have seen the light of day.
