The only reason I picked love is because I haven't found all the digspots, and he is pretty useful for finding chests.

You can't find all the dig spots. The dog makes random dig spots appear, literally. I chose Love because the dog is the only thing you can't get back. Money, you can get easily. The gratitude of Albion, just farm good points. But there's nothing you can do to get your dog back.

Actually, the dig spots aren't created by the dog. I have a walkthrough - it shows the dig spots of each place.
I assume you decided that because when you highlight a region, it says dig spots: #, whereas silver keys and gargoyles have #/#.
Believe me, the dig spots were still programmed in.

Getting back on subbject I think it's so stupid that the final boss is some static boring shard

It would have been cooler if Lucien used the shard to become some super human thing, but destoyed the shard because he took all it's power!Like more of a final showdown!

now that's not a sad ending

Well good to know, actually I based it off the fact that you can't dig successfully with out your dog. Learned that the hard way trying to get the Enforcer on a alternate character I made.

As for the boss, I don't think anyone liked the fact that the shard was actually the final boss. They could of done so much more, I agree, like for instance: They could of changed the play field here to a more open area with obstacles (Construction tools) and he's in the middle while the other heros are on the sides being drained of their powers. next, he sees you, gives his little speech and attacks. He actually obtains their skills and can switch from one hero's abilities to another and give off some aura that tells you what he's using. Like if he starts glowing blue tattoos he's going to use will, or when he moves his limbs they have a slight yellow trail to symbolize that he's currently tapped into Reavers abilities and most likely going to shoot you, and when he starts using Hammers powers he starts giving off this red aura (Like berserk from the original) and uses her hammer against you. And when you beat him in each form he becomes weak and vulnerable to the music box and you drain him of the current powers he is using. So there would be 4 total phases to fighting him: once as hero of strength, once as will, once as skill, then when's regular Lucien begging for forgiveness and trying to cut deals with you. Then you have the option of keeping the powers Lucien stole for yourself or return them to the other heros. If you keep them, you gain bout 10k XP for will, skill, and strength. Then you take out the other heros since their weak. Or just give them back and get thank yous all around then move on to make your wishes. I personally would of loved that as a boss fight because it would of required that you changed strategies for when he uses different powers and pretty epic if you ask me. But at last, they screwed it up.

The ending was a letdown. It would have been good for a book, movie, or television show, but not a game.

I didn't really expect much from Lucien. He is a regular normal man who lost his family and is looking for a way to revive them and he gets wrapped up with the power he can control. He has no hero blood, he is a rich guy with a gun... that stupid gun, i hate it lol. Jack of Blades was a demon pretty much. Of course your going to get a fight out of him. I have a feeling that Lucien was just a puppet in the grand scheme of things.

HMMM I hadn't considered that possibility. We know Theresa was manipulating some of the events, maybe she had more to do with what was happening than meets the eye.

Then meets the eye ? You naive, she keeps the goddamm spire for herself

Played it loved it, accidently beat up the ending got the credits stared in disbelief that after 22hours it was essentially over; blinked a few times as drool rolled out of my mouth from how astonished I was that it really was over. Wiped my mouth stared some more commented a couple times at some of the voice actors. Still couldn't believe the game was over...... Was greatly relieved when I could still play after the fact.

The side quests and even some of the bounty hunter quest's you can get were more combat challenging then Lucian. I like the interesting speculations each has on what and why.

I found it interesting Theresa was back, but I considered how if not strapped to the laws and programming of the video game it could be rationalized that mastery of the spell stop time could also give you a means to leap through time. Theresa already had the power to see into the future we know that of Fable I. Will becomes the most likely direction Theresa could devote her self too. She has Heros blood so she will excell in what ever she picked. We don't know but we consider the options.

Theresa's eyes are point of contention for many. The words used in Fable I leave us leaning towards cut out and discarded. But I have to agree that the chance of a single slash cutting out her vision is also a possibility. I however, lean more towards the torturing from JoB and his desires to leave his mark on things as; he literally cut them out. Now Since I am already on a long post and explained my thoughts on her becoming a Will user (above)helps explain why in Fable II we now have pale white eyes on a potential return character. Wanting not to scare the many peoples from what ever time she decides to visit making use of her refined talents on seeing the future and time stepping; she restored her eyes in a physical sense but not in a functioning sense. Easier to not have to explain(or come up with story) why you have sockets for eyes. Rather then milky white eyes telling any that see them she's blind.

Theresa does come across as a Darth Traya(KotOR II) character..... Milky white eyes on both characters from both games. Both appear to be guiding your Hero till some point in the game shes obviously in it for herself. Traya - in a vague sense is using you to help the galaxy while helping her eliminate her former apprentices. While Theresa is helping you save your world so she can have the spire. Traya is a force user, closest to that in Fable is Will User. Though we never see Theresa do anything she knows things and tells you facts that help you the same as Traya. All these things and the fact that in the long run KotOR was a more complete game when it was released and Fable's franchise which counts on a re-release with more content (but stuck playing through the beginning again) before we get more clues as to what the story really is. Now they can do Down loadable content and space them out enough to make us wait for long periods of time before we find out the true meanings.

We know there will be more because two places are mentioned in the end one by Garth the other by Reaver, neither of these places have I yet found(for sure) and neither can I remember the name of presantly, beat the game at a friends house. Havn't touched it since. Theresea's motives will come to light in the next installment that is sure to come out. Many mention the DL-able content coming soon. This may be the route they take instead of another 49.99 game release.

The current ending feels like meerly the end of a chapter in a book still being written. Knowing Microsoft it is in the works and will be out soon... for a price.

In order to clairify my previous post for the douche population, maybe Theresa did more than locate the weapon, gather the heros to defeat Lucien, and take the Spire for herself.
She may have had a hand in the death of Lucien's family, perhaps arranged a for him to meet Garth, maybe fed him information about the Spire. There are several events in the game, like the death of Hammer's father, that seem to have worked out a little too well not to have been planned by someone.

Interesting but there is only one hero of choice per generation. As explained in game, Theresa was born with the ability to see in the future and was born with the power of immortality. Chances are that as she matured she learned how to harness these powers so that she would no longer age and no longer required to go to sleep to see visions.

One thing I still don't get about Theresa being back is (if u were evil in the 1st Fable) how did she servive getting killed by the Sword of Eons. Plus if u read the book "the hero of oakvale" it clearly states u weilded the sword, meaning u killed Theresa!!

well not exactly it says he weilded it for a short time i believe this means when he had the choice to strike therasa with the blade or when he chose to throw it into the abyss.

also theresa was good in the first fable maybe when she died she was sent to the abyss and came out of the bronze gates after the defeat of JoB, this might be why she is manipulating the hero, revenge

but this is all just speculation

As I've stated before: In one of the interviews with a game developers from Fable 2 he mentioned that Fable 2 is based off all the good endings in Fable 1.
The scholars also said that he used the Sword of Aeons to defeat Jack beneath the Guild. We all know this to be false. There have been hints that the scholars don't have any accurate description of what happened in Fable 1 and this is mainly due to the fact that the Hero's Guild was burned to the ground, a long with all it's records. All they know is that their was a powerful sword and a Hero who defeated Jack. Also, if Theresa was killed by you in Fable 1, notice that she doesn't fall in the void. She just falls over, and dies. Lionhead obviously pulled the scholars trick to give them lean-way with the story. This way they wouldn't have to be accurate because everything the Heros did was recorded in the Guild, which was conveniently destroyed meaning they can pretty much do whatever they want with the story.

theres something that I don't get.In the first fable Theresa's eyes are gouged out by bandits,but in the Fable 2 she has eyes but without pupils.

Whats up with that ?

Personally, I also found Lucian to be too easy. Using the Magic Box was way to easy. Maybye Lucian coud've used the Skill, Will and Strength he gained from the Hero's to Resist the Magic Box and force you into Battle? Or Maybye you get the option of listening to Lucian and maybye let him have the Energy, and then destroy the Hero's thus letting you use the spire for Once.. and once Only. Though I was almost in tears to what the ending was, the whole world was tearing apart around you for one fact only: You are a HERO! And the dog was just so sad.. You just start bonding with him and he dies! But I would definately go for 'Love' I'd prefer to see the ones I Love.

Listen to her voice and look at her appearence. Which KotOR character do you have now.
And I wouldn't say Therisa was good in Fable 1, just that she wanted to help you.
