So, is it safe to assume that the import save feature is passive?

I have 5 male heroes and my girlfriend has one female hero on xbox's hard drive from Fable 2, and I started a new game and people keep mentioning my "hero mother" etc. Does it go by the last game saved or what?

I have heard that the feature to use your import saves was thrown out or hasn't been Implemented yet.

Really? That's so weird...

I have a friend over, so I let him make a game on his XBL account, and in his game it keeps mentioning his father. But mine, it mentions my mother. I thought it was supposed to be this big deal about mentioning your feats and endgame and stuff.

Yeah it is. :(
I'm gonna end up making a new game until they mention my father instead of my mother. Even if it's not because of my Fable 2 save, my hero was a dude so I want them mentioning good ol' dad.

Yeah that's what I figured. I was hoping they would mention whatever you did at the end of Fable II, but oh well.

So I moved EVERY SINGLE save from Fable 2 onto my memory card, removed my memory card and started a new game and it still says "your hero mother." This is stupid, I'd rather have them mention my hero father since ya know.. I was a dude. I let a friend borrow Fable 2 so now I have to wait til I can get that back before I can even enjoy the game. And yes I know it's a small thing, but it's really annoying me.

Maybe you have to finish it to register it...

Try removing every save but your Man hero. Go into the game, save and quit and try Fable III again.

I removed all but a male one then went back into Fable, and it still did it. So I removed all and it still says mother. I let my friend play on my xbox (which he has no saves for) and it says Father for him, so I'm guessing Father is the default. I think I have to actually PLAY Fable 2 to make it register. :(

it goes by the last save game played in fable 2.
so most likely the female hero was played last in f2.
so you should just load up you desired save game, save the game, exit, then load up f3 and start playing.

Well this sucks because I let a coworker borrow the game and he says he won't work again until Thursday. Damn girlfriends ruin everything.

I wouldn't mind they referring to my mom as a hero, as long as they referred to my dad as one as well, since my father is in fact the hero from my previous game. That doesn't mean however that after his wife got killed right by Lucien he didn't find a new hero wife. We all know he found a new wife (possibly not if you chose Love. Actually, if you chose Love it would be mean to replace your wife/husband with someone else in Fable III) eventually.
