I maxed myself out in all the strength skill and will power. Im maxed out in 7 different spells. Ive got all the cool tattoos and experimented with different hair. It took me over 20 hours to beat it, and now Im still walking around making money and killin stuff with the sword of Aeons. I cant stand it when people say "it took me 5 hours to beat this game, it was too short." if you go through and do only main quests, you miss the whole game. I love Fable and will probably play through it 4 or 5 times before i get bored.

Yeah exactly. I"m about 8 hours in, but I've spent tons of time simply stealing items.. and then when that stopped working, waiting for nightfall then opening locks, THEN stealing items.
I've also spent quite a lot of time simply fishing.
Look at Spiderman2 for instant.. the main storyline is but a mere 40% of the game.. which is a lot like Fable, sure you can "beat" the game.. but is it truely beaten if you haven't done everything and attained everything?
Heck this run I'm not even TOUCHING magic which puts a nice twist to it (sure so I decided to get the multi-arrow skill, but thats only because I have good dex from all my thievery attempts
). I went into the game with one intent.. max Guile as quickly as possible.. ignoring other skills it took me a bit but I got it and theivery is 'tons o fun'.
I'm going to replay the game as a pure magic user (I'll still put points elsewhere, but all my attacks will be magic). I find that it'll be a lot of fun.
There are people that say Diablo2 is too easy and short, but then again they're playing with the gimp classes. I call them gimp classes because they're extremely power and easy to handle (which partly is why they're powerful). If you want to get the fullest out of the game, you gotta go in and do it at least one time with a major drawback. Like.. never use the melee in fable and only the bow.. that gets difficult in some areas.. or like I'll do next game and do only magic. Making the game harder not only increases the time it takes to beat, but the payoff is that much greater.
