How to get the most out of your Fable 2?

I just re-purchased Fable 2, hoping to get some nostalgic moments back into my memory. My first playthrough with Fable 2, was a short and unmemorable one. Im playing the game my second time through. What are some things you can do in Fable 2 that's worth your time? Besides the arena.. and getting married, having a baby and a home. Is there anything else? Like secret weapons, etc. Thanks in advance.

besides your own home, meddling in all the real estate, upgrading, and renting can be somewhat rewarding. If you haven't gone for all the acheivements, they can actually add a nice task list to do too.

Achievements are actually very fun to get in this game. Most games I never really strive to get them, but for this game they are a nice change of pace.

Finding secret weapons, real estate, Oh, don't forget to check out the demon doors.

There are also other side missions obviously, like one that was memoriable for me on my third play through. I won't go into detail because of spoilers, but remember to collect any assassin notes/contracts (Whatever they were called)

DLC is also a nice addition if you can afford it. They indice some nice things into the game.

If your the more expansionist type, there are plenty of places to travel to and do/see. This and leveling up your character go hand in hand.

(Evil) Attacking townsfolk. Entering bowerstone after never being able to attack it in Fable 1, turning on slow-mo right after a large chunk of them enter the bar, than blasting them with a pistol is a pretty rememorable time for me. Or sneaking into specific houses, extorting them, than killing them and exiting the town quickly is interesting, since it takes a while before guards arrive you can sometimes even completely evade them after the murder.

(Also if evil) Extort. I always prefered playing evil characters in the Fable franchise, and extortion was always fun. Going into towns extorting peasants/merchants, or just doing it on the go when meeting a merchant. If they say no a quick shot to a bodily part that won't kill them (Use a weak gun if extremely powerful) will usually make them reconsider next time.

I never cared for jobs, but for some they could be something to do.

Explore a lot. Find items. For example "Love potion #9" - the description stops at "60% of the time, it works every time" or something like that. There are pretty cool easter eggs/references everywhere.

Get a wierd costume (Chicken, anybody?) and walk through town using different emotions. Don't question this, just try it.

Want to make a ghost town but don't want to be evil? Buy all the houses, don't rent. Wait a while, return and bam, only the essentials will still be there. It's pretty much your town now, with guards!

If you actually take the time to read all of that, congratulations, otherwise, just note that there are a lot of small things in Fable 2 to do. Use your creativity and you can probably do it some way or another.

i dno, that game was lousy

I thought that the 2nd DLC, can;'t recall the name, added a lot of items to the game I'd wanted. Playing through it again with that DLC made it somewhat enjoyable again.

It was also fun attempting to gather all the legendary weapons, and some of the demon doors.

It's also fun just going on a rampage and killing all of your families; assuming you have at least 1 in each town of course.

try going for the full 1350/1350. The achievements are not difficult and by doing them you pretty much explore everything Fable 2 has to offer imo.
