Game-Breaking Fable 2 Bug Reported

1up.com writes: Even after yesterday's word of freezing issues, it seems that Fable 2 is still struggling with a few bugs, reports Xbox 360 Fanboy. These two seem even more dire than yesterday's report, possibly breaking the game or wiping out gold and experience.

The first occurs during the "Monk's Quest" mission, in which players need to speak to the Abbot of the Temple of Light in Oakfield. If players leave the temple before finishing the conversation with the Abbot, they are unable to resume the quest -- which means they can't finish the game. The second bug occurs when a "Hero" player go into co-op mode with a player still in the "childhood" phase of the game. Apparently the Hero character will have his or her experience and gold completely wiped out this way, which is a pretty brutal punishment for playing with a less experienced friend.

Lionhead is working on a title update to fix both issues (and, we can hope, the freezing), but for now advises players to finish the conversation with the Abbot and to only play co-op with people who have finished the childhood stage. We'll keep you updated on when to expect an update, and if we hear any other bugs gnawing at this big fall release.

At least there are workarounds, right?

johnnywit6411d ago

My game froze during a save in brightwood. Now every time I load my game it goes to a black screen. I would have used a previous save game like most RPGs have but the geniuses at lionhead thought it best to have one saved game per character. 6 hours gone.

Lifendz6411d ago

before console games could be patched? Hope they get the fix out soon. Games sounds great from all the scores I've seen thus far.

bouncybullet6411d ago

I haven't had a single issue with this game after 50 hours of play.

It seems like an auto save feature is needed.

I save every hour or 2.

nirwanda6411d ago

I'm having a lot of problems with the sound I have it set up in 2 channels stereo though my tv and it misses loads of effects like sword swings and hit connecting etc., it only seemed to happen since a co-op game and I haven't been back to try it again co-op ran smooth though except the sound

RPG Guy6411d ago

And yet this scores 89 on metacritic while SOCOM gets thrashed. Consistent critics FTW!

esp gamebreaking ones really anyone who puts one out should b sued silly. Bad nough gamers have to put up with endless updates and bugs but this is too much.

Deviant6411d ago

Every game got bugs.
Fable 2 , Gears, Resistance 2 ....do u really think these games are flawless ?
Seems like ppl are struggling to find real news.

FantasyStar6411d ago

Resistance 2 has bugs? where? I want your early copy.

Nineball21126411d ago

If I had the game, I know I'd want some information about what to avoid to cause a game-breaking bug or how to avoid a huge loss of experience and gold.

I'm pretty sure this constitutes "real news".

divideby06411d ago

that is the problem....Gamers with attitudes willing to accept this crap...Socom is a total mess, GOW has issues and now Fable. My customers would be all over me if I gave them crappy work products like these developers are giving to us. Not one of my customers would accept a shoddy work product

Lifendz6411d ago

nice try buddy. Could you maybe provide a link that doesn't pertain to a bug within the BETA.

FantasyStar6411d ago

I don't doubt your logic that no game is without its bugs. I just want to know if R2 has any bugs in it that's threatening. Im' not trying to sound offensive, I just want to know if there's any bugs I should look out for or any exp bugs I need to keep an eye on. You make it sound like you already got a copy of R2, so that's why.

InMyOpinion6411d ago

All PS3 games are bug-free and perfect. I thought you knew?

kazuma6411d ago

funny thing is ur clearly making comparisons between two games who are out/gold and have freaking lame bugs, and a game that has an open beta and still isn't final. good call lol

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer893d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog893d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned893d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c893d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb893d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies893d ago (Edited 893d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal893d ago (Edited 893d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72893d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman893d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos892d ago (Edited 892d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows892d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
