I’m will never unsee what i saw on the news. Rest in Peace Peter Cullen, at least you’re reunited with your brother Larry.

looking to do well

Note: Maybe I should have used the word "Effective" than "Efficient" in the Post Title. LOL apologies.

I've recently been playing Fable III again and while I kinda like it, I still consider it the weakest of the trilogy. And one of the reasons for this is the fact that finding potions like the Slow Time and Summon Creatures Potions is a pain in the butt. I dislike how Lionhead decided to turn what were originally spells, into potions. It's an interesting feature though, adding to the lore how Albion in the Industrial Age have been so removed from magic that they now rely on potions to get similar effects, and in terms of gameplay, these potions basically allow the Hero of Brightwall to use three spells simultaneously (activating slow time potion before blasting enemies with fire and wind spell gauntlet combo is really fun). But the problem with this is the fact that potions are extremely limited, and stores seem to take forever to restock. So unlike the others such as the gauntlets, firearms and melee weapons, potions are the ones that you cannot spam. 

Ever since playing Fable III, I've always tried to find the most efficient way to increase my number of potions to the point that I wouldn't need to worry about running out of them. The easiest way to get potions is by buying them from stores but it takes forever for these stores to replenish. I checked google on how long do stores in Fable III restock, and found some forum posts. And I tried to do what they suggested, such as sleeping for multiple days straight or doing various stuff to pass the time. I even tried sleeping for 10 days straight, but nothing happened. Once you empty the store of its potions, nobody knows how long they will restock. Even Gemini thinks that stores in Fable III are random. 

But after some experimenting I finally found a sure fire method for potion stores to restock so you can buy potions again. And after multiple tries this is by far the most guaranteed method to replenish potion stores in Fable III 100℅. Here's a step by step process that you can try:

1. Go to the potion store in Bowerstone Market and buy everything, including health potions. 
2. Use the Sanctuary to fast travel to the City of Aurora. Upon arriving fast travel to Godwin Estate. After that fast travel to Mistpeak Valley. After doing that, fast travel back to Bowerstone Market, but DO NOT run straight to the potion store. 
3. Head towards the inn in Bowerstone Market, go to bed, and sleep to midnight. After waking up, sleep again until morning. 
4. Now run to the potion store and the place would have replenished its potions. All three of them: slow time, summon creatures, and a whole bunch of health potions.

I ended up abusing this method, grinding it to the point that I now have 25 slow time potions and 33 summon creatures potions. I haven't studied this method fully, especially if it will work if you don't have the DLC for the Godwin Estate. But I feel that any location as a substitute for the Godwin Estate would suffice. Also, please note that I was playing with the Xbox 360 version of the game, so I’m not sure that this method will work in other versions like PC. Still, feel free to try. I enjoyed discovering this one but it is just one way that I luckily found. Maybe there are some veterans of the games in here that know some methods that are less difficult to pull off. But if you do, please share it with us :)

it's my first time playing and I've been going around buying every property I can and I just got a woman to marry me. The problem is, I was in the middle of a quest (the 100 zombies and the book) and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to max out her love during this lol.

Anyway, it gave me an option to set the house as my destination but I wanted to finish the quest so I said no. But now I want to go and marry the woman, but I can't find my house! I don't even know which one it is since I've been buying everything, so is there a way to find it?

Also just want to say this game has the worst map I've ever seen in a game that's really fun

Booted up the game and saw this.

Throughout my play-through I’ve made all the good choices and decided to go on a killing spree.

I started growing horns and when I was 100% evil and corrupt they were full blown white horns with normal eyes.

I closed the game and a few days later this is what I saw.

Any idea why the game does this?

On fable 3 I’m able to spawn NPC’s using the script injector and MyScript1.lua but one code im looking for in particular is any friendly faction codes, I’ve been looking for months but somebody with knowledge better than mine may be able help out, I’m looking for friendly Logan guards like they are on the prologue mission where they don’t attack you, I’m also trying to track down any Ravenscar keep guard ID’s that have them carrying the master weapons like they do in the first mission where you need to capture the prison that’s overrun, any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the Fable Reboot, I feel like having a niche flying mount for the game would make it such a cool experience in an open world.

Highly unlikely to get it. Because the game reminds me of Shrek’s Far, Far Away, I could totally see a Fable-esque quest involving a drunken witch terrorizing the countryside and the hero that helps or harms them gets a flying broom after.

I’m hoping we get unique travel modes in DLC, or future updates!

Or maybe some other way to contain the amount of people posting the same shit in a few hours time.

There are 5 difficulty level. And others parameters can be changed to fit every gamers desire. What do you think?

Given the recent discovery of Difficulty customization from an Italian YouTube Video (by Multiplayer.It) I thought I would watch to see if there were any more hidden details the devs just refused to elaborate on... Only to discover you can slide...

I know there is still a lot of information we don't know about the game. But I'm starting to think Playground Games are intentionally refusing to show certain things in hopes we discover it on launch.

Like, why didn't they say you could customize the difficulty, instead of just saying we are playing on a harder difficulty - that could've addressed the whole "bullet sponge" complaints.

What else are they hiding from us? 😑

EDIT: Damn y'all ruthless 😅 I was just excited that there so much hidden details in the game that the developers haven't mentioned even after showing so much of it - and y'all said "Fuck you!" Damn my bad. I'll STFU next time. Lol. /Jk. It's all fun reading the replies - I enjoy all of them. Keep them coming.

The slide is actually awesome. I can imagine how much gameplay can be incorporated into it. Like sliding and shoot arrows or sliding during combat and using a spell - that'd be awesome.

As the title suggests, I am replaying Fable and went with TLC because I like the original graphics for nothing more than the nostalgia. I did not check when buying, and realized there's no Native controller support.

I've been playing using the mouse and keyboard and it's doing fine but I just wanna play on controller on my couch and veg out rather than constantly check they keyboard to open menus (I dont have a full size so I have to hold FN and hit number row keys for specific things and its just cumbersome).

I tried using a community layout but it seems more like it's made for Fable 2 (it has reload listed in it) so it's been a no go on that.

Anyone ever run into this, and make a controller layout as close to OG as you could that you could share? I been trying to map it myself but I'm just not seeing the vision with anything I try.

EDIT: SOLVED For any future gamers, here's the run down to get Controller Support for Fable: The Lost Chapters-

First, it only works on the Steam release. Not the physical copy. You need EgoCore, FableScriptExtender (EgoCore will prompt you to download this so don't sweat looking for it), and the Fable Controller Support Mod. I downloaded both manually, extracted them, put the "FableControllerSupport" folder I extracted into the main mods folder directory for the game (this should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fable The Lost Chapters\Mods. WARNING: if you have a folder in your mods folder also named mods, make sure its not put into that, only the top most mods folder so EC can find it) and then I fired up EgoCore.exe. After that, I showed it where Fable TLC was on my PC (this is usually in your C: drive in ProgramFilsx86>Steam>SteampApps>Common>Fable should be in here somewhere), it scanned and found the mod and had me get the script extender through the program, and I launched and it worked.

Only gripes are that you can't use the controller in the main menu, only the menus in game, and even then it's got limitations. If it's a yes/no option like overwriting a save you have to use the mouse. You also cannot skip with controller, only the keyboard. Also assigning quick slot inventory items and spells are a nightmare because its the PC UI when in the menu, and the OG Xbox UI when you un-pause, so its trial and error to set up where you want it all just for it to get reset during stages like the prison where you lose all your stuff temporarily.

Other than that stuff, it functions identically to OG xbox. Love it.

so i recently found out that fable 3 has a couch co op mode and got super intruiged. my girlfriend is a huge fan of skyrim, oblivion, and other fantasy/rpg alike games (so am i).

as someone who hasn’t touched the fable series before this, im really enjoying the game and the simplicity of it. i’m excited to try the first two and see if the hate is valid 😂 but this being the best “couch co op fable experience on console”, i have to start with this one.

I found out (the hard way) about the issue with couch co op that makes the game extremely confusing to play without your game save getting corrupted (this happened to us this morning after playing for hours lastnight). after searching all over online and reddit, i see all sorts of posts about it but no true explanation to fix it.

i myself figured out the steps (based off what everyone was saying) and here’s how to do it.

if you haven’t started yet and plan on playing co op do this, also if your co op game save was corrupted just delete all game saves for fable 3 in 360 guide menu before doing this.

1. both players need their own xbox live accounts. guest accounts will not save anything

2. use YOUR (player 1) account and complete the game tutorial until you’ve left the castle (right after using the map to teleport)

3. press start and save the game.

4. exit out.

5. sign out of your xbox account and sign into your second account (the one that will be player 2)

6. on the second account load up fable 3 and start the beginning of the game.

7. once you’re in the game press start and press “new game” (you’re just making two seperate game saves)

8. once the new game loads open the xbox 360 guide (start button + select button) and go to the very bottom where it says “manage storage” almost 100% sure that’s what it says

9. in the storage menu, click fable 3 and you will see all game saves for the consoles accounts on fable 3.

you should see one save called “hero 1” with your main xbox gamertag underneath it, and two game saves titled “hero 1” and “hero 2” with your second accounts gamertag listed underneath those two saves.

1. delete the game save titled “hero 1” that has your second gamertag listed under it.

remember the save you’re deleting was the first one that you did nothing on, before creating a new game

1. the game saves, after deleting should now look something like:

game save - hero 1
^first players gamertag^

game save - hero 2
^second players gamertag^

if done correctly, you should now be able to exit out of the game, swap back over to your main account and load in. after loading in, press start on your second player controller after signing in and you should join right in.

you’re now safely in the game with your buddy!

THERES ONE MORE IMPORTANT STEP TO MAKE SURE YOUR GAME SAVES DO NOT GET CORRUPTED/ CORRUPTED AGAIN:

Saving the game:

Saving the game is very confusing in fable 3 when co op is enabled.

instead of a normal game where player one saves and exits, or other games where both players save before signing out and exiting,

fable 3 requires a very specific order of saving and exiting to not corrupt your save…
(super annoying as this could’ve been a simple patch i’m sure?)

this is the way to save your game on co op without corrupting either of your saves.

1. on the second players controller press start to enter the sanctuary.

2. once inside turn right and walk up to the gear icon. using this will open the settings menu, from hear simply click “leave”

all of your items collected and leveling up done does save, reguardless of the warning screen before leaving. fable 3 technically only advances the world for the 1st player, while the second player joins their journey. everything except for story progression (unless in co op), will be saved

1. after leaving the game on your second players account, using your player one account, (the still active one) you will press start to go to sanctuary.

2. after arriving at sanctuary turn right, walk up to that same gear icon on the wall, and activate it. press “save and continue”

you’re now safe to close the game and be able to resume co op progression when you want to.

this^ is the only way to save and exit the game on co op without corrupting your saves (to my knowledge)

i really hope this reaches someone and helps them be able to enjoy this game with a friend/ partner. i myself am really enjoying this game with my girlfriend.

also i mean well with this post im sorry if i sound stupid! ❤️

i know this games 16 years old, anyone have memories of dealing with this? 😂 my younger self wouldn’t have been able to figure this out.

Given the general disposition of the average Reddit user I'm hesitant to point this out but since I mentioned it over on heroofalbion I thought why not descend into madness here too. Has anyone else noticed the similarity in this still from Isabel's Hero of Wraithmarch trailer from a few months ago and the illustrations we've seen of William and the Heroes of Blood and Bower?

Because I don't think it's a coincidence that that rapier and paring dagger are the exact same as shown in the illustration, and I don't think it's a coincidence that there are two masks visible behind the character in the first image, and I don't think it's a coincidence either that the Hero of Briar Hill can wear the Hero of Blood's armor and it's called the "Bastard's Armor". Imo I think the guy up top is 2027's version of Reaver and since he used to be immortal it stands to reason he's also the Hero of Blood....

New to Fable and I've hunted around for info on this and was surprised there doesn't seem to be a collection of the older games. It seems like that would be a well-received thing, no?

Hey Guys! I'd love to hear your ideas for stories in the Fable verse. I know we don't know the story yet for the upcoming game but use your imagination and brain storm a story idea! Could be a quest, combat situation, romance, anything! Would love to hear.

Oakshire is going to be my favourite region! Definitely plan to settle down there in my very own Bag End.

Honestly, if it’s not moddable, I don’t think I’ll buy it that easily.
