Fix Fable 2 With a World Map
Fable 2’s a pretty great RPG, with one huge flaw: you have no idea where you are in the world. Zones exist in seemingly unrelated points in space, and roads connect them randomly to other zones. One imagines the designers had a highly detailed world map as they created the game– and then excised all the intermediate spaces from the game, and ran the map through a shredder.
I’d forgive the process if, upon each zone exit, a group of mysterious kidnappers threw a bag over my head and tossed me into their trunk. In the absence of such an explanation, I suggest these community-created world maps. Set your laptop next to you, and you’ve got Fable 2 in-game maps without the interface load lag of a real in-game UI!
Pretty, with minimal locations (pre-spire):

how do you get to Gemstone Grotto

To Kevin: you get to Gemstone Grotte in Rookridge. Just return in Hobbe’s Cave, all the way back to the shore (where you first met this guy who’s son turned out to be a Hobbe too). When there, swim to the pirate (to the wrecked pirate ship). Get ashore there, and walk all the way straight forward and you’ll end up at the entrance.

These are great maps. Better than nothing. I don’t know why Lionhead will not release a map — and not on DLC because not everyone has Xbox Live. Just release it damnit! The game has been out since Oct. Now it’s January. It’s been 3-4 months since the game’s release, and the game has been in development for a few years. So, I’m guessing — they DID make a map. They just found it would make load times longer…
I def. agree with this blogger– I have a feeling they put the map to the shredder. It doesn’t mean the players don’t need it!
