I resumed doing the pirate’s errand in Fable 2 tonight, and of course it was a trick and I wound up sacrificing a bit of my age. It looks like this is a point of no return before the end though, so I started doing side quests again.
I popped into the Collector’s Edition dungeon, but it wasn’t too special. Just a long trip through it to get a weapon weaker than the one I already had. There was a fun little diversion to beat up an undead pirate and steal his loot. A “priest” from the Temple Of Benevolent Yokels (seriously) tricked me into stealing some stuff, I rescued an adventurer for his overbearing grandmother, took out a fortress of bandits hired to assassinate me, bought Garth’s tower and did the strange “nightmare” quest associated with it, and rescued Max and Sam from yet another escapade of theirs.
And now I’m in the middle of helping some pathetic loner resurrect Lady Gray, from the first Fable, even though she’s been dead for hundreds of years. I can’t remember if I was the one who killed her or not…
