Re: Theresa is kinda evil, no? *SPOILER*
I'm terribly sorry for the chain quotes, but if it comes to Fable 2 theories, I can't stop.

lol. why would u do that ?
Why? Personal preference, yes. Besides, I don't need my dog, although I think he's quite adorable.

achievements? personal choice? who knows...
That's correct.

wait i missed something when did he go to the void? Because if you pick love it talks about your sis bieng with him. Also the time spent in the void damaged him and made him from the Archon to what he was in TLC.
He didn't go in the void in Fable 2, but somewhere between Fable TLC and Fable 2, when the villagers burnt the guild of the heroes. If you read lots of books, especially about the guild, scythe, and rose's letter, you know that she met him in the void. Also, if you look at some quotes while loading your game, you can read that all people of Albion wondered where Scythe has gone to, whilst they needed him to the utter most.

Maybe I'm just being nitpicky here, but are we absolutely sure of the nature of Theresa's powers? Are we giving them too much weight?
Of course we aren't sure of Theresa's powers; nobody is.
Just because she is a seer or a tarot reader does not mean that she knows everything that's going to happen. I like the idea that she has you obtain the music box to use to save yourself later (according to Lucien's diaries, he already knew heroes existed in the city), but that raises a weird question to me.
She
is a blind seeress, and she can look into the future, as she's meant to be. Why? It would be simply logical, but kinda too hard to elaborate.
Why would she not see Lucien coming during the summoning of the ultimate weapon? Of course, I suppose you could argue that she did see him but also saw you emerging victorious so she left well enough alone but that goes back to her seeing everything.
If you followed the main plot swiftly, you know that Lucien merely 'listened' to her. In other words; Lucien was nothing but a puppet to Theresa, as he was meant to build the spire for her. Of course, Lucien wasn't aware of that, as Theresa managed to convince him somehow... as she did to you and rose.
Another issue is why would she need you to find Lucien's diary to know he recruits from the crucible?
Theresa isn't stupid, IMO. If she'd know everything, there wouldn't be a main plot to play onto, would there be?
Besides, she needs you to fight, in order to 'practice' yourself for the incoming battles, although they're quite easy...
She also seems surprised to find out that the Hero of Strength, Hannah, is originally a 'pacifist monk.'
She wasn't suprised when saying that; she was rather ****ed off. Then, she wanted to find a reason, so that Hammer would fight along with you. And the reason is, the murder of the Abbot.
She also needs Hammer to help locate the Thief, she does not know his whereabouts off hand. She also doesn't seem particularly aware of Garth's cullis gate. Finally, she says herself "He (your dog) knew you would return victorious even before I did."
Correct. She wasn't aware of Garth's cullis gate, but that doesn't change the fact she cannot look into the future. Reaver and his village (Bloodstone), was surrounded by Wraithmarsh and Banshees. If you remember correctly, you could state that Theresa had problems contacting you, and possible also problems in order to meditate.
What I'm getting that with all this is that it's most likely that Theresa cannot and does not see everything. So if you want to know why she points you to the music box there are a lot of options. Perhaps she simply knew that the fourth hero would need the music box and wanted him/her to procure it as soon as possible. Maybe she believed that if you obtained the music box before Lucien found you, you would be able to escape Bowerstone with her unscathed.. how heartless are we going to make her.. Rose is related to her after all.
Yes, she knew everything, even at the beginning. She knew you would die, she knew you would need the box, and she knew Lucien would be immortal if you wouldn't own the box.
Forgive the long post
No problem!

i forgive, but she did seem a little evil in the end with the, "this tower is mine! Leave!" mabey she had a guest coming over, idono.
Yes, she has something... vague as her background. I wonder what...

She also might not be evil, she could want the spire as a preventative measure, she can see into the future so she may know that some one else wants to spire.
See one of my statements above.
