The orbs are other people playing the game. If you have it set as friends only then any of your friends playing the game will be visible as an orb. If they are moving in their game the orb moves as they do. Its just your way of seeing them and interacting with them without having the physical character in your world.

That pretty much covers it. When you first see an orb a bar appears at the top of the screen and tells you some need to know stuff.

Ok can i play Co-Op with a orb?

Re: Confused about XBL for fable 2

Yes, but there character is preset, as is yours if you go in to their world. You don't look like you usually do in someone elses world. If that makes sense >.>

No, you can't play co-op with an orb. You have to invite them to your game, in which case the orb disappears as they are now in your world.

As Jakuro said if someone joins your world they have to pick a preset character as they are merely a henchmen in your world and not a hero. Same goes for you if you enter someone elses and you wont have a dog either if you are the henchman. Also as Zamurick added the orb becomes a character in your world so technically not playing co-op with an orb. :lol:

But yes you can invite an orb into your world to become a Henchmen and vice versa.

That makes no since at all ok so can you explain the talking thing? Like on my mic do i just hit the button and i talk and you hear me in game?
And say i go to your world is Co-Op the same as it is on the same system? You choose everything i get.

If you choose to interact with the orb by talking i believe so yeah. Co-op works online pretty much the same as on the same system. If your the hero you get to choose how much XP and Gold the Henchmen gets.

They have to be in your party for them to hear your voice.

Just go to the friends menu after hitting the Xbox Guide button and select "invite to game and party" after selecting a friend from the list.

Hm how much is the DLC to get Hals sword and armor?

 

[GMRauru]

Re: Confused about XBL for fable 2

80 bucks in stores IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

Isn't worth it imho, I look way cooler than Hal's armor and I spent 6 dollars instead of 80.
