Well I played about a total of 15 hours the first time through and I'm sure I missed A LOT. I only did about 5 sub quests and didnt buy any houses or even get all the tattoes/haircuts/keys/armor types. I still need to find the legendary weapons too. I'm gonna go through good again but this time I'll steal a bunch and wont use as much magic so I wont turn out grey and white.

How do you get older? In real-time or after certain actions?
I mean, can you play longer than 15 hours?

Oh yeah. You can play as long as you want, but after you finish the main quest, no more quests will be given out at the guild, you'll have to find them on paths and in towns. You can still get married, buy houses, all that good stuff too. This game is all about the gameplay and not that much on story, so you'll play it as long as you like because you can find things to do on your own. Hell, walk around a listen to the different reactions you get from people after farting on them. Get people drunk, get yourself drunk, kick chickens, become champions in the bar games.

You age in three ways. 1. When you level up your skills you age about .7 years I believe. 2. When you finish a major point in the story, you'll go onto the next chapter and age a couple years. 3. When you use the will(magic), you'll gradually age everytime you use it, in real time, but it's so small you wont notice it that much till you look at your character after a while.

Fable is here... I am overcome with joy...

Contrary to various reviews, this game isn't exactly easy. Especially the sub quests, having a lot of health potions doesn't mean jack all, don't know what IGN was talking about.

and with $20 off, I got my mom to use some of her reward points.

Are you serious? There's been only one subquest where I had to actually use a ressurection vial or two. The rest were easy so long as I had a few health potions.

Oh, my wife is giving me weapons. Too bad they're obsidian (which are, I guess, inherently evil) and I'm the overly sweet and good guy.

They make me good monies though.

I only died in the arena during the bandit portion. But luckily, I had about 12 reserection whatevers so I made it out of there...barely, and bought all the potions the vender had.

The Hobbe's Cave quest, where you save the old woman's kid, can be challenging. I never said it was hard, just not tremendously easy as so many reviewers have made it out to be. I was under the impression that it would be Wind Waker easy.
