I'm still pouncing on every dig spot ;) Clearly I missed something then, cos my fortunes never rise about the 500,000 mark. I’m still pouncing on every dig spot ;)

The amount of money I have now, means there's just no point in me raiding dig spots or treasure chests, as I have enough money to buy probably the entire of Albion! Yeah I noticed that too.

It just feels like you're going back to Fable II to polish off bits that you hadn't finished - but with the underlying sense of if you hadn't finished them, why did you not feel compelled to stay and do so? I believe it was Chewing Pixels' Simon Parkin who said the reason he couldn't enjoy it is because the DLC throws money at you - but he recieved a couple of million gold in rent when he loaded his game, so anything he earned was completely irrelevant.

I'm hoping when I go back to it, I will enjoy it. But last night I just felt like I was doing it out of obligation as I'd downloaded it. Such a shame :( Milo: I’d be tempted to say start on Legend as you can download the Anniversary DLC for that anyway :)

When it comes down to it, I only purchased it so I could get my dog back, but I was more than willing to enjoy a new quest. The problem is the quest felt closer to one of those irrelevant side-quests than a true main quest (like the Hero Of… quests from the main game), so perhaps I was expecting too much. I just found that when I was playing through it, I was essentially rushing just to get it done. I didn’t actually care about what I was doing, which is probably why I wasn’t as outraged as I thought I’d be when the Weather quest ends exactly how it began – something that I thought was unnecessarily anti-climatic. It speaks volumes that even the repressed GamerscWhore in me can’t be bothered to track down those books. I know what you mean about Knothole Island.
