Getting away from WoW for a bit, I hopped back into Fable II tonight in order to go through the Knothole Island DLC released a little while ago. And as if I wasn’t rich enough already, I was treated to an instant gain of over a million gold as soon as I loaded my save.

The island turned out to consist of a series of three quests, each of which led to a temple that changed the weather after completion and that changed the terrain of the island around a bit. The temples were fairly easy, with a bit of an overreliance on timed orb switches, and you had to leave the island and come back between each one in order to start the next one.

There were various island-specific items to gather along the way, but the only ones of any real consequence were some new augments and weapons with a larger number of sockets. With those, I’m even more overpowered than I was before…

There was a crypt that gave me a chance to resurrect my dog, having lost it in the main quest, but I opted not to. The consequences of my choice should remain, and I would have had to sacrifice an innocent villager to do so. That halo over my head isn’t just for show!

And that was about it for the island, and I ended the night in the way all gaming sessions should end, by having sex with my wife. Overall, I’m not sure the DLC was really worth it, though. There wasn’t really any challenge or enough new or interesting to it.
