the 15€ are okay for Single – and Multiplayer DLC.
Think of Black Ops… it’s 60 €…

When you compare this to the MW2 map packs it sounds like a pretty good deal.

This is a great price for such a big DLC
All we need now is a release date and hopefully one that is before holidays

@18 read #10. Between this and black ops i don’t think I’ll have time for any sp games at all this winter.

@21: agree. it´s too much. hell – a gamers life is tough these days. in my case add halo to the list. i want to buy some time via dlc. i have to play fable III though – have to. a friend of mine is in da gaming business and i saw him on my friendlist playing fable yesterday! he always plays the killerapps a few days in advance but usually not 9 full days. bastard. hate him. the only thing he told me is that it´s freakin awesome.

come on someone – post: what´s the problem? fable has a short rip off sp anyway that you´ll play through in 5 hours….
(not the case this time – not the case)…

I don’t remember getting through Fable II in 5 hours on my main run. Could do it on a speed run, but not if I was playing properly.

yea me neither. but so many people complained about that it was way too short. i enjoyed it a lot. loved it actually. good gaming memories. @ 24. yes i´ve heard a bird tweeting something like that…because of the part where you play the game as the king. a change in the gameplay there as well. the main part where your goal is to overthrow the current king is about the same length than fable II but with some “minor” gameplay changes as well like the levelling up of your weapons, magical rings, combination of rings, magic spells etc…but then comes the part where you´ll have to rule albion…no news this far but i heard that this will add a good amount of playtime… -i heard – not confirmed….this is the internet.

@ 8 “with a DLC this big”
This isn’t even that big, 4 new maps (fair enough) but then some reskined stuff =/

@ 26, sounds good man. Currently playing Fable II on my second playthrough and i’m 100% good, first one was evil. I really like the idea of being king and then having the choice to stop the child labor and poverty or choose the complete opposite.

same here. i really only hope that this isn´t just cool on paper and will play well for real.

Exactly, it sure sounds awesome on paper indeed. If you can actually really let the people starve and what not, and really feel evil, that would be amazing. And of course the opposite. In the trailers it looks really cool and dark. Those littles ones scrubbing the floors and the dark moody atmosphere.
We’ll see soon enough
. Fable 3 received it’s first 8 from a Czech magazine.
About Bad Company 2: Vietnam, compare it to MW2′s DLC.that one had four maps? And two of them were even old ones. That was it. Now you get four new maps, many new weapons and vehicles and a completely different vibe/feel.

Sure the price is ridiculously low compared to MW2 map packs but I still don’t get what makes this so interesting?

True, but what so interesting about repainting MW2 and calling it black ops ?

@34
There is a big difference between what this expansion is doing for BFBC2 and what black ops is doing for COD.
