BIG Fable 2 announcement coming next week

In an effort to steal our gaming attention, Lionhead just posted a new blog teasing that next week will bring a BIG Fable 2 announcement.
"I dare say it's a big announcement regarding Fable II, next week!" says the teasing blog, which can only logically be referring to one thing ... Fable 2 DLC. That's if logic holds true. It's either DLC or some sort of big announcement telling us that they'll be releasing a game patch that'll make those Pub Games cheaters' copies of Fable 2 start on fire the next time the game is loaded. Wouldn't that be fun?

That's not a fortune cookie, silly - it's a 'chatterbox' thing, which is a (paper-made) playground psychic's toy.

Co-op fix, PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE
vahdyx @ Nov 11th 2008 12:59PM
DLC isn't a big announcement at least not IMO.
A big announcement would be an expansion pack. Nude patch, or Hot Coffee patch.
Something shocking like that. DLC is kinda regular or common enough to not be shocking
Mazrael @ Nov 11th 2008 1:07PM
the co-op was a bit rubbish.. Fable2 is a one player experience.. player 2 is the third wheel on a date...
Dadidito @ Nov 11th 2008 1:47PM
I agree. Though I LOVE this game. I find the ability to play co-op with friend less than complete. Main reason is superficial but important. Why can't you import your current character in the game? This generic character makes you not care.
Pasha @ Nov 11th 2008 1:23PM
I hope it's a patch that will make my game playable again. I can't use the "A" button due to the "Rescue Charlie" glitch. It's a common problem for a lot of people.
GRT @ Nov 11th 2008 1:15PM
Expansion Pack announcement would make me smile...
Big Filth @ Nov 11th 2008 1:20PM
oh no, I was going to trade this in today. now I dont know?
damn you and your teasing lionhead!!!
Joeey Crack @ Nov 11th 2008 3:55PM
Funny, I was going put mine up on the bay today. Grrr. Now I have to wait. Maybe they will fix the BS fact that you can only open the chest once. As for DLC, meh. I'm unimpressed if that's all. How about being able to save my character so I can start a new game and not lose this one.
Boff @ Nov 12th 2008 7:52AM
You can. Start a new game and it will actually auto-save in a different 'slot' (up to a mix of six I think) so that's 6 different characters.
Next time you load a game, you will be given a choice of 1 of 6 slots/characters to choose from.
I have my good guy with story finished on one save and my evil bloke about half way through the story on my second slot.

They're finally sending out the CE DLC codes? No wait, that would be too good to be true...
wargamer17 @ Nov 11th 2008 1:30PM
I know eh? I've been waiting forever for mine and I still haven't gotten it. It's way past the week or whatever they said it would take.
craig64 @ Nov 11th 2008 1:31PM
That'd be weird... since you can just download it for free off the Marketplace (the language pack has the CE content, if you aren't aware).
I'm excited for whatever this announcement is though, as this has been my most played game by far this month!
Serio @ Nov 11th 2008 2:03PM
Eh? They've been sending them out since release. Everyone has got theirs by now. I think they're going to announce a free DLC or something.
Chris @ Nov 11th 2008 1:27PM
I was good and sacrificed my dog for the good of mankind...hopefully they will add in the ability for me to get a new dog so I can go find more treasures!
Van Faulk @ Nov 11th 2008 1:48PM
Hey, thanks for the spoilers!
Vcize @ Nov 11th 2008 2:21PM
Uh, ban, please?
How about a little warning for spoilers, jerkwad?
Rufus @ Nov 11th 2008 4:20PM
Please, it's one of the biggest cliches.
Man loves dog, man and dog are best pals, something happens to one of them and it's not man suffering dodgy bowel movements.
Numbn8 @ Nov 11th 2008 1:39PM
What ever they announce I hope it's a soon to happen and not a coming in 2010 type thing.
Whats up with all these companies sending announcements saying that an announcement is coming...... Pretty soon it's going to be an announcement of when the announcement of the real announcement will be made.
Jonman @ Nov 11th 2008 1:58PM
Here's hoping for a DLC Prostitute Pack!
Silverlotus @ Nov 11th 2008 2:15PM
For me, it is too little too late. I've finished it and already traded in my copy. This is the first game I have ever truly been disappointed by, and my personal gaming history includes Daggerfall.
I do hope whatever is announced adds something wonderful to the game, and makes it more like what it was promised to be.
Haohmaru @ Nov 11th 2008 2:28PM
You were disappointed by Daggerfall? Seriously? It was a wonderful game for its time; my all-time favorite Elder Scrolls game after Oblivion.
DiggyStyle @ Nov 11th 2008 3:37PM
"This is the first game I have ever truly been disappointed by"
"Ever"? Dang! Spoiled much?
Either that or...
Welcome to videogames 2008!
Silverlotus @ Nov 11th 2008 5:36PM
Haohmaru, my comment meant that even Daggerfall with all its bugs didn't disappoint me the way Fable 2 has.
I guess I'm just picky about what I spend my time playing. Or maybe I was disappointed because I believed Fable 2 would actually deliver on its hype. I kept hoping there was more to it.
Josh @ Nov 11th 2008 2:29PM
All I want out of Fable 2 is a complete co-op experience. What they have now is a half-assed attempt and it needs to be fixed.
1) Put in a free-moving camera
2) Ability to use your character, not some template
3) Expand the range drastically for free-roam in co-op. It's way too restrictive right now.
4) Stop pausing my game when the host pauses or is buying something
DaStuph @ Nov 11th 2008 2:32PM
New content would be great but...I'm still waiting on my piss poor excuse for LE content codes! COME ON ALREADY!
Benjamin09 @ Nov 11th 2008 2:48PM
Can I have my dog back please? thx!
kyle @ Nov 11th 2008 2:51PM
Omg, i hope its the patch for if ur stuck at the abbots quest, I had to start a new game, beat that, cuz well, i was tired of doing nothing.
Mike @ Nov 11th 2008 4:07PM
its probably related to the new NXE. Maybe the ability to import your character? clothes? hmmmm...
James @ Nov 11th 2008 4:08PM
Horse armor?
Charlie @ Nov 11th 2008 5:24PM
Definetly it, I've alway wanted Horse armor in Fable! Not got much use for it maybe I can put it on my dog and ride around on it.
readmore @ Nov 12th 2008 8:05AM
Horse Armor... lol that made me laugh in RL
cocobunny @ Nov 15th 2008 3:36AM
A tip of the hat to you sir. Comedic gold.
Judge @ Nov 11th 2008 9:41PM
Its only a big announcement if it means its going to extend the story another 10+ hours... That game was WAY to short and I'm a little disappointed in how it ended.
R_Fusion @ Nov 12th 2008 3:11PM
Same here. I don't want to sell it yet, so gimme something good to keep it.
Feedback @ Nov 12th 2008 3:46AM
Heres hoping the DLC isn't an on-disc content unlocker for points.
