Fable II Downloadable Content (a.k.a. Fable II DLC and DLC) is extra content released by Lionhead Studios through Xbox Live. There is currently no downloadable content for Fable or Fable: The Lost Chapters. The Fable: Lost Chapters is actually an expansion to Fable.
Delivery[]
Purchase[]
Downloadable Content is delivered using the “Xbox Live Marketplace” that is included with any Xbox 360 gaming system. The original Xbox had a similar system, but was not as widely used. Content purchased via “Microsoft Points” which in turn, purchased using money. 80 Microsoft points is roughly US$1 (Depending on Location). Points are redeemed and are credited towards the users Gamertag, where they can be spent on anything. Microsoft Points can be purchased via Credit Card, or by purchasing a special card that includes a redeemable code.
Download[]
Due to Fable II's co-op mechanic, Lionhead Studios decided to release Knothole Island and See the Future as free, and paid download.
Free Edition[]
The free download will allow you to acquire a few items from the Knothole Island download, these are available from Gordon in the Bowerstone Market. The free download will also allow you to complete the entirety of the Knothole Island and See the Future downloads, along with their achievements, but only as a Henchman. This means that you will not be able to keep any of the acquired items, and you will only be able to play it with someone who has purchased the Premium packs. An Xbox Live Gold subscription is required to download the free edition.
Premium Edition[]
The Premium pack allows for the full set of features, achievements and items. For Knothole Island, this allowed the player to go to the island alone and complete all the quests. This also allowed the player to bring another player along, so long as they have either the Premium Edition, or the Free Edition. "Knothole Island Premium Edition" is available for 800 Microsoft Points. See the Future also has a Premium Edition, which costs 560 Microsoft Points, which is equivalent to £4.67 or $7.00. An Xbox Live Silver subscription is required to download the premium edition.
