Having played a short stint in multiplayer mode, I agree with Mielke's comments from the 1up review; basically it's cool that you can earn gold and experince while playing with a buddy, but sucks that you can't go across as your own character. 

I don't know that they are ever going to be able to allow you to come across as your own character though, so I'm not sure that this is a) a good reason to say the patch (or game) was rushed or b) really impacts the quality of a game that has, for all other aspects, been rated as exemplary.

 

 

Please don't get me wrong - I'm not saing Fable 2 is bad in any way, i just said there and above why i think they had to patch the game in the way they did, and that i think it's unfortunate that the patch doesn't seem to have been fully tested before it was released (similarly, I didn't like the PS3's 2.40-2.41 debacle)

Understood, and on the general premise I agree, games should be released only when they are ready (I made this comment about SOCOM: confrontation and it's true for any game, 360, PS3 or Wii).  I'm just not aware of any real problems that the patch has caused, outside of not delivering on the "hoped for" multiplayer experience.  That is the multiplayer patch, IMO, failed in scope, not quality of programming. 

Now Vlad321 mentioned there may be freezing issues caused by the scope and I have not personally experienced that, so can't speak to it.  If that is the case, then I am wrong and owe you both an apology.
