Fable 2 DLC?

[baddogg19901990]

I was wondering if anyone knows if there's going to be any DLC coming out for fable 2, if so what will the DLC contain if anyone knows
-Thanks

Hopefully it's 10 more hours of actual quest game play.

No word on DLC, but they added a specific option for DLC on the main menu, so I'm sure it's on the way sometime in the 6 months.

Hopefully its some DLC with some new weapons, areas, and quests

And it should be free.. If it is a large chunk of content, it had to have been originally created to be part of the main title. Its too close to release, and the main quest of the game itself is painfully short.

I have 25-30 hrs into the game, but man it really feels light in the content department. Maybe its just me, and I don't want the game to end

One thing I didn't understand is why they took the armor out? I heard they didn't want everybody to all wear the best armor at the end of the game because everyone will look the same, but isn't everyone gonna have the best weapons? It just didn't make sense to me

Plus, i just wear the best clothes instead of the best armor... so what's the difference? I guess it is kind of silly wearing nobleman's clothing out to slaughter hobbes... but I don't feel like changing all the time and the noble's clothes give me the best reactions from people when i'm in town. They seem to ignore the hobbe's guts staining my shirt.

Since they included dyes to allow you to change the colors I don't see why that would matter. It seems like there are only four different outfits anyway, and even less if you want to be fully good or bad (and not cross dress).

I bought the noble outfit early in the game and never had anything else (better) to change into. I was expecting that there would be better clothes later on, but nope.

Same here.. Even got a little glimmer of false hope when I saw the suits of armor in the Blacksmiths

Press Release from Lionhead Studios about the upcoming Fable II DLC.

Fable II Premium Downloadable Content

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios Announce First Fable II Premium Downloadable Content

Fable II adventures continue with downloadable content and free pack to release mid-December 2008

The epic journey begun in Fable II, the fastest selling RPG on Xbox 360, is not over. Starting mid-December 2008, fans will be summoned back into Albion's service with the release of the Knothole Island downloadable content pack. The remote island of Knothole is dying: its golden sands and lush vegetation are covered with snow, its people freezing, its treasures buried. Only a hero can face the trials of the three shrines to bring back the sunshine.

Following its release on Xbox 360 on Oct. 21, more than 1.5 million units of Fable II flew off store shelves worldwide in the first two weeks, making it the most popular game, across all platforms, in the U.S. in October. With the release of the first Fable II downloadable content, available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, gamers will be invited to set sail for Knothole Island, where new quests, wondrous items and bizarre characters await.

Also in mid-December, fans everywhere will be able to enhance their Fable II experience with the release of a free Fable II downloadable pack exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. To engage in co-op gameplay with a player who has already downloaded the Knothole Island content, gamers will need to download the free pack. Both co-op players must download the Knothole Island (Premium) pack in order to play new quests and enjoy the complete Knothole Island co-op experience.

Free and premium downloaders will receive a show of gifts, including Knight's Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion, collectible silver book and more. Players will also be able to check their standing in over 50 new Leaderboards on Lionhead.com.

As an additional treat for Fable II fans, Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios have created an all-new Albion dashboard theme in celebration of the launch of the New Xbox Experience. Fans who want to show off their Fable II pride can head over to Xbox LIVE Marketplace to download the Albion theme, available now for 250 Microsoft points.

Fable II is exclusively available on Xbox 360 and is rated ?M? for Mature by the ESRB. Please visit: www.xbox.com/fable2 or www.lionhead.com/fable2 for more information.

It's not clear what the free DLC pack will include, but I guess we'll find out.

I'll buy it if they give me back my fucking dog.

I hope the free stuff includes some cool things as well

Nice that there's more content being added (weapons, outfits, items), but only 3 new quests for $10?

Good call, that will be interesting if true. Kind of lessens the impact of your decision, though.
