The “Break it Down” Blog

After getting delayed and then having the released date posted incorrectly on Xbox.com the Fable II Knothole Island content and a bug patch finally released today. The new content is available now on Xbox Live for $10. If you’re not interested in paying for the new content but you want to play cooperatively with a friend who did you’ll need to download a free update to allow that to still work.   For the Achievement fans out there the new content does add three new achievements for you to try and earn.

• The Collector (25GS) – Acquire all the mystery items in The Box of Secrets shop, or see another Hero do so.
• The Meteorologist (50GS) - Bring all of Knothole Island’s weather problems under control, or help another Hero to do so.
• The Bibliophile (25GS) – Find all the books detailing the history of Knothole Island, or help another Hero to do so.

The bugs release that has been promised since shorty after release of Fable II is also out and it will address the following issues:

- The Ritual/Monk’s Quest – Fixed the issue with the Abbott becoming unresponsive if you leave Oakfield before he finishes talking. This will fix the problem if you’ve already hit it, too.

- Rescuing Charlie/Rescue My Baby – after rescuing Charlie, you can now able to interact with objects. Will fix saves made when this bug was active.

- Guild Cave chest – resolves any issues with previously inability to retrieve items unlocked from Limited Collector’s Edition, website or Chicken Kickin’ game. If you’ve already hit this bug you should now get your items. If you’ve already hit this bug you should now get your items.

- The Spire (Pt2) – no more issues with ship captain being unresponsive. This will fix saves with this bug active however in order to free the captain you must go to Wescliff, leave the region and then return to it.

- The Hero of Skill (Pirate King) – you’ll no longer get stuck during Hero of Skill quest (Bloodstone). Should prevent the problem and fix if saved in a broken state, in some cases it is necessary to go to reavers mansion and allow his cutscene to play out in order to free up the hero.

- T.O.B.Y./Trouble In Bloodstone – you’ll no longer get stuck during T.O.B.Y. quests (Bloodstone). This problems manifested when a player hit one of the pirate king bugs above and so these may be remedied as above in cases where a save was made in this state – i.e. by returning to Reaver and allowing his cutscene to finish. In some cases this will not work.

- Your child – will no longer be chosen as an assassination target. This will clear the assassination quest if it was saved with your child as the target.

- Furniture Shop in Albion (Bowerstone) will now always have something for sale, it will fix cases were a save has been made in this state.

- Additional unspecified fixes
