Fable II patch "coming along nicely"
Children taken off assassination hit list.
Lionhead has a title update for Fable II in testing and waiting for finalisation, and has said everything is "coming along nicely".
That's according to the community website, which has also supplied a list of bugs being addressed in the patch.
The Ritual/Monk's quest no longer presents an unresponsive Abbot if you run out of the region before he finishes talking, which is quite a rude thing to do. Still, part of the main quest and that, so even those with no manners ought to be able to continue.
Rescuing Charlie shouldn't prevent interactivity with objects any more, and the Guild Cave Chest should properly reward Limited Collector's Edition, website or Chicken Kickin' items.
The second part of the Spire quest should present a talkative ship's captain, and there will be less getting stuck during Bloodstone quests The Hero of Skill (Pirate King) and T.O.B.Y./Trouble in Bloodstone.
Brilliantly, your children are no longer chosen as assassination targets, and the Furniture Shop in Bowerstone now always has something for sale. In addition, there are a number of unspecified nips and tucks.
Lionhead recently unveiled a whole new island of content for Fable II, which will be here in just over a week, on 12th December.
Knothole Island will add lots more things to do and cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).
