Fable 2 DLC Announced; Price & Release Date Included Written Monday, November 24, 2008 by Dan Webb Lionhead Studios and Microsoft today announced the first pieces of downloadable content for their popular Fable 2 title. The Knothole Island DLC pack will take you on an adventure to the remote island of Knothole. When there, you'll have to face the trials of three shines to bring the sun back to this now snow ridden island. Weighing in at a modest 800 MSP, the Knothole Island DLC will be released on December 12th and promises new quests, wondrous items and bizarre characters. If you fancy tackling this over co-op, be warned now that both players must have downloaded it to play it. There is also a free DLC patch due on the same date which includes a show of gifts, including Knight’s Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, collectible silver book and more. This is of course available for the premium content downloaders as well. Good news I suppose. Been looking for an excuse to jump back in to Albion and now I have one. No news on whether it'll include additional achievements yet though but as soon as we know, you'll know. | |

 | Comment #2 by Its From EBAY Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:04:15 PM First wow im first this is great news can't wait and see and explore. |
 | Comment #3 by frogking55 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:05:20 PM I think this DLC shoud have probably included some way of getting more than the unique doll cos that achievement is so annoying as is the 'completionist'! :@ |
 | Comment #4 by R0Y4LEwitCHEESE Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:07:00 PM No, you are not. |
 | Comment #5 by JellyFox Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:07:40 PM comments wow i commented on a board NOTE: contains severe sarcasm |
 | Comment #6 by W A R 89 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:10:09 PM They really should have addressed the completionist. -_- |
 | Comment #7 by Alex933 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:11:29 PM sweet, i am so getting it! |
 | Comment #8 by bitt3rsweet Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:12:16 PM nicee |
 | Comment #9 by Samblin Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:17:02 PM Awesome, I love Fable 2 but don't play it. Now i have a reason to :D |
 | Comment #10 by CloseChief Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:17:20 PM Cool. |
 | Comment #11 by Jimm Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:17:31 PM Doubt I'll get this unless there are achievements or an eventual price drop.. I'll definitely grab the free stuff though. |
 | Comment #12 by IanAHD Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:21:55 PM what about the patch for the stupid glitch at bloodstone |
 | Comment #13 by aston158 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:23:28 PM This will be sweet! be even better if there were added achievements, Looking forward to it. |
 | Comment #14 by Shdowknight Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:23:36 PM who needs a magical weightloss potion? I want enchanted ointment for all my STDs! |
 | Comment #15 by Cormyre Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:45:53 PM not worth it w/o added achievements |
 | Comment #16 by Hitchman Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:45:58 PM looks like a new reason to get this game |
 | Comment #17 by pined5551 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 12:54:10 PM Didnt the game literally come out about 5 minutes ago. No matter DLC is always good when its for amazing games. At least thats what the reviews tell me, lol. I'll be getting it myself at Christmas. |
 | Comment #18 by Sniper07LHS Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:01:00 PM im going to get it if it has achievements....i currently have 1000/1000 and if i completed it once then i will complete it again |
 | Comment #19 by Initium Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:11:42 PM 800 MSP is a bit expensive for DLC. I prefer buying an XBLA game. Maybe I'll buy it when the price will drop but I have to get Fable II first (Santa Claus, I'm waiting for you ...). |
 | Comment #20 by Lord of Orion Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:12:47 PM I will be in if there are achievements for it. Other than that, I can't say that I will be fully involved in this DLC. |
 | Comment #21 by MattyBoosh Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:17:17 PM Not the news I was hoping for. I'd much prefer a release detailing that they're ready to release a patch to fix all the problems in the game. Not information regarding on how they can take more of gamers hard earned money and laugh their socks off. I struggled through all the problems and finished the game. But have not been on again and won't be until they fix the issues. |
 | Comment #22 by xxXI Dave IXxx Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:24:49 PM Achievements = Purchase Fable 2 has been the biggest disappointment for me thus far on xbox 360. Fable 1 was great, but 2 just didn't meet the hype. Peter M. should be sent to Albion, to the torture chamber to be more specific! |
 | Comment #23 by Strato Streak Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:34:01 PM I was going to write the same thing. Biggest letdown this year, more like fable 1.5 than anything. I never trade in my games as fast as I did with Fable 2. No regrets! |
 | Comment #24 by Ninjamonkey6493 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:37:31 PM YEAH!!! Cant wait!!! |
 | Comment #25 by ThrawnOmega Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:38:11 PM I know it's entirely subjective, but I'm amused that on the same day you describe Fable 2's 800-point cost as "modest" while accusing Ubisoft of overcharging. Your argument on it was reasonable, and I don't know how long this new DLC for Fable takes to complete, so maybe it really is a good value, but I still found that interesting =) |
 | Comment #26 by callofdutyachievements Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:39:27 PM Hate this game |
 | Comment #27 by b3nnyth3gr33k Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 01:57:13 PM oh no achievs might get the free one dont have any money so im buggered |
 | Comment #28 by hestar Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 02:06:48 PM Will this DLC actually give fable 2 a story??..if not screw this horrible pos game. |
 | Comment #29 by Greg0fTheDead Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 02:07:02 PM additional achievments would be a major plus |
 | Comment #30 by scourge Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 02:35:24 PM no new achievements = no MS points for Fable 2 |
 | Comment #31 by piez Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 02:42:52 PM Yes!!! This sets a precedent for The Northern Wastes and Samarkand ;) |
 | Comment #32 by Brambledamble Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 02:50:43 PM At least my Master Chief won't be so fat anymore. |
 | Comment #33 by rsxdelerium Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 03:02:05 PM If additional achievements end up comming with it I still probably won't get it unless it's free. Hell, the new achievements would probably be glitched anyway .. or maybe they will have you buy a second DLC pack in order to get achvs from the first!! |
 | Comment #34 by Fryza Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 03:06:21 PM Cool I suppose. Might pick up the free content. |
 | Comment #35 by Zacxx201 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 03:16:31 PM Don't Wow Us with new stuff damn you lionhead fix that bloodstone glitch for us! |
 | Comment #36 by collapsedbeef Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 03:29:57 PM hopefully the dlc while have a better ending than the main game. |
 | Comment #37 by Violet Avenger Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 03:44:32 PM to all of you that said fable 2 was over hyped, did you forget how much they promised us in the first fable game that we didn't get? not saying that its not a let down just that it was no where near as big of a let down as fable 1 was |
 | Comment #38 by Cynicalfate Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:08:44 PM i dont understand why everyone has to come in here and flame the game if you like it post away your happiness if you hate it then dont comment no game is perfect so why bother flaming it |
 | Comment #39 by Hell-Fighter Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:09:14 PM Hoped they put the "Hat, Headband, Moustache" Book and the "Backflip" Book in the game... so I dont have to play those stupid Pub Games. : ( |
 | Comment #40 by dreamweaver1984 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:19:17 PM DLC is overrated- make the game with everything in the game-- its all about the money though |
 | Comment #41 by Immortal Keeper Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:20:33 PM wow, i really am just shocked about how many people whine over silly things like video games. I frequent all the boards alot and i play alot of video games. I don't think you realize that everything isnt meant for everybody. i personally didn't like fallout 3. I played it for 5 hours and sold it. However ive got around 20 hours of fable 2 logged. Just saying quit flaming games b/c you didnt like em. just don't comment. |
 | Comment #42 by Gee Oh Zed Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:25:12 PM why is it that soo many people complain about the completionist achievement, i got it, and it was simple as pie, so it cant be that hard.... |
 | Comment #43 by XZYOE Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:32:20 PM They complain because they don't have Pub Games. Looks good, I should hope some extra achievements come out. |
 | Comment #44 by TCLCloud Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:36:34 PM Hmmm, I'm still baffled about why they have set blocks like 400MSP and 800MSP when something like this should be between them. Oblivion wasn't perfect on the pricing for DLC but at least most of it was proportionate to the other stuff and what you were really getting.... I will probably pick this up in the future when I want to play Fable 2 again, once is enough for me at the moment! |
 | Comment #45 by Chuppernicus Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:39:17 PM Sweet, I'll be grabbing both, achievements or not. Loved Fable 2 |
 | Comment #46 by [M]ike Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:52:58 PM I'll just buy and add Fable 2 back on my Lovefilm list if there's achievements, otherwise I'll pass. |
 | Comment #47 by HybridPK Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 04:55:41 PM Hmm...I might get this. If it has a few achievements added on to it, I will probably buy it, but I got the feeling that this bit of DLC won't be worth 800 MSP. What I'm really baffled by is the "gifts" you are supposed to get. Why are they giving away seperate bits of clothing? I bet they are going to do something like that with all of the the DLC to try baiting people into buying it. Want the full Assassin outfit? Prepare to buy some more DLC. |
 | Comment #48 by FourChan Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 05:02:27 PM getting it |
 | Comment #49 by porkfriedtar Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 05:20:42 PM hope to god there are achievements or else its not worth it, the game was too short and easy to begin with anyways :( o and this costs tooooo much |
 | Comment #50 by Wtfmissile Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 05:42:16 PM Lol too bad I and many others got rid of Fable already. Too bad LH talks out of their ass. |
 | Comment #51 by LSmith92 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 05:51:48 PM trading this in 2moro for CoD:WaW =] was good while it lasted i suppose |
 | Comment #52 by xxNIGHTWINGxxx Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 05:53:40 PM They should have a shop where you can buy a dog. Stupid me chose the needs of the many. I miss that damn dog. |
 | Comment #53 by MaverickMRB7 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 06:12:06 PM This is great news, hopefully they continue to put out DLC like this. |
 | Comment #54 by ethanl2k7 Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 07:40:25 PM good stuff, good stuff. |
 | Comment #55 by Atarii Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 08:05:50 PM @ #2 - srsly? on topic, I may get this, it might give me an excuse to play Fable II more. |
 | Comment #56 by Fuzzy DGAF Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 08:21:59 PM ill get it with or without achievements, i am one of them wierd people who plays fable and enjoys it. so i am exited |
 | Comment #57 by Colby Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 08:37:48 PM hopefully it has new achievements and is fun! |
 | Comment #58 by Paulpaps Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 08:41:27 PM I thought Fable 2 was really good, but I traded it in for Fallout 3 (couldn't afford both) and quite literally, Fallout is the most amazing game this year!!! |
 | Comment #59 by JoeDissolvo Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 08:57:43 PM between me and my girlfriend, we have logged probably close to 50 hours of play time in on fable 2. We have done all the expression statues, gargoyles, and keys. never had any glitches, other then the random "Oh im stuck behind a tree" thing. Im not saying I will never get any glitches, but for the time being we have never seen any. It sucks for people that do get them, but just like the RRoD, its a small percentage of a larger group. I think its an awesome game, and LionHead did an awesome job as a follow up. People just need to stop BAWWWING and enjoy the game. |
 | Comment #60 by Malikkr Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 09:19:04 PM Sounds good |
 | Comment #61 by iamtehwin Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 10:06:32 PM this game sucks, i still own it and it was a huge disapointment. But if they add the 250 to the game then ill download this pack for the achievments. Other than that, I cant wait til I can trade this disapointing ass game in. I tried enjoying this game but it was so small and only took 10 hours to get nearly 1k on it that I cant imagine the dlc taking more then 1 1/2 hours or 2 tops. |
 | Comment #62 by ArmyOfPie Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 10:22:18 PM Hey that's my birthday! Cool! :D |
 | Comment #63 by S lH A lD o W Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 11:43:23 PM Separate cameras please? |
 | Comment #64 by Kocheski Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 11:46:39 PM @anyone complaining about the completionist achievement u can get the "completionist" 2 ways other than paying for it.. 1.be there when another hero gets the achievement... 2.trade for the items: Hat, Headband, moustache and the dog backflip.. to me they broke no rules.. |
 | Comment #65 by EATatJOES 07 Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 12:08:02 AM buying it no matter if it doesn't have achievements |
 | Comment #66 by SLAIFER Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 01:41:51 AM I will be in if there are achievements for it. Other than that, I can't say that I will be fully involved in this DLC. |
 | Comment #67 by YurtleTehTurle Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 02:17:12 AM Weight Loss Potion sounds cool - my character looks like Robbie Coltrane LOL. Still have to get back into this at some point to get the 2.5 Mil Ach, probably won't be until next year though during a quiet spell for games. |
 | Comment #68 by beezelBug Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 02:21:48 AM Assuming I still have a job come the 12th Dec I will be buying it. |
| Comment #69 by YurtleTehTurle Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 02:26:19 AM @68 - Do you work at Woolies by any chance? |
 | Comment #70 by k1lls1gn Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 03:44:08 AM sweet, i can take a short break from cod5 online, it will be awesome if they bumped it to a 1250. |
 | Comment #71 by Angelusbane Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 04:41:19 AM O my god, first Farcry 2 comes out with DLC and now this. Both games came out less than a month ago and cost £40. Try milking me after christmas. |
 | Comment #72 by Darth Heyburt Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 05:39:18 AM judging by how long the on disc game took to complete I'd say you'd have the dlc done in about 39 seconds. |
 | Comment #73 by FlamedLiquid Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 05:44:27 AM yah needs more achievements for that price. |
 | Comment #74 by GuruGazza Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 07:22:27 AM i reckon maybe 5 or 10 new achievements should do the trick but i want them to add up to only 50 gamerscore so then theres room for more dlc packs to go up to 1250 gamerscore eventually unless fable 2 wants to break the rules on achievements once again if they have further more content |
 | Comment #75 by CARN8GE Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 08:59:54 AM Pretty good, give us a DLC even when the game has so many problems. I like mine, finished the Crusible the first time with every round perfect. Did the spire thing and went back to get more experience. Finished them all perfect again and when I open the chest for the second time it drops me on the stairs and freezes solid. Hey LH, loved the game, but fix the problems before asking us to spend more money on your product. |
 | Comment #76 by Tastey Cake Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 10:20:30 AM This basically seems like a "sorry for the release fuck ups" pack. Only we're still paying for it, so we're still not square. A lack of achievements will get a pass on this from me, fable 2 wasn't that good, a serious letdown from the original. |
 | Comment #77 by Bluntedfish Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 11:13:40 AM Ouch 800 points, that's quite expensive. |
 | Comment #78 by dementedlullaby Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 02:26:33 PM I'll probably get it even if it doesn't have achievements. But achievements would mean=instant buy. I still haven't finished the game **blush**. If there's no achievements I'll wait until I finish the game to pick it up. |
 | Comment #79 by dylanmannen Tuesday, November 25, 2008 @ 03:05:21 PM yeszz. so nice :D |
| Comment #80 by totalstranger Monday, December 01, 2008 @ 11:45:11 AM if they fix the furniture store glitch i am in. if not ? they can keep it. great game, too many issues |
 | Comment #81 by Brown714 Wednesday, December 03, 2008 @ 03:58:10 AM |
 | Comment #82 by whtsnk58 Thursday, December 11, 2008 @ 01:09:40 AM If they don't add additional achievements to it, I highly doubt I'd pay 800 points for that. I mean, I'd rather spend that 800 points on Rock Band songs, seeing that I know those would be something I'd get to use more than once per play. |
 | Comment #83 by tnargus Thursday, December 11, 2008 @ 06:52:19 PM I particulary like the inclusion of the weight loss potion. Should stop all the overweight characters, like mine, running round lookin for celery. :D |
