Confession time: while I have beaten Fable II, I have not yet purchased or played the first round of DLC for the game, Knothole Island. I meant to, really, but things just kept coming up. After beating Resident Evil 5 this weekend, I figured that there was finally an opening in my new release schedule large enough to dive back into the world of Albion and explore Knothole Island. By the end of May, I will have even more reasons to do so, as the next batch of downloadable content for Fable II will be coming to the 360 next month.


Here are some of the details of the See the Future DLC, courtesy of the Gamerscore Blog:

Murgo: Having first met him during the childhood sequence of “Fable II,” Murgo returns to Bowerstone Market to bring an amazing array of new wares, including potions that can transform canine companions into new breeds.

The Ghosts of the Snowglobe Quest: Holding a disturbing secret, the small model village inside it was once a real town in Albion. The people who once inhabited it are now ghosts condemned to endless torment until the shadowy threat that cursed them is defeated.

The Cursed Knight Quest: Forever banished to a land beyond the dead, the Cursed Knight awaits a hero who has the strength and will to dress up in convincing costumes, even imitating a hobbe or balverine, to save him from his fate.

The Colosseum: The Colosseum puts even the Crucible to shame. Only the greatest heroes have triumphed here. Players’ abilities will be put to the test to prove themselves in combat once and for all, to win the ultimate in prizes.

In addition, “See the Future” offers free unique items* to all, including Welley’s soldier helmet and other clothing, a braided ponytail and other hairstyles, psycho Jester make-up, a new hero expression, the back flip trick for canine companions, and a collectible Murgo the Trader gold statue.

Seven dollars? That’s it? Sold. I loved almost every minute of Fable II and will gladly shell out a few more bucks to keep the adventure going. Looks like I’ve got a few weeks to get through Knothole Island. Anyone else still in Albion?
