Be Awesome, Fable Style

So yeah, I bought the computer version of Fable: The Lost Chapters recently and have been hooked. Here are some good tips and tricks for various parts of Fable.


Getting Famous:

> Get married. You can get married in each town at least once, and you get +1000 renown points each time!
> Make people see. Sure, you get some points for beating up little hobbe shits on your own, but you get more for beating them in front of others! Make a show of it!
Trophies are sexy. Run around, show 'em off. They're there to be used, not just take up space in your inventory. The best places to do this are in any available taverns, but the best tavern is probably the one in Knothole Glade. 
> Sidequests need love too. Accept every quest you can. Fun stuff.
> Arrogance Gets You Places. Boast whenever you can when you accept a quest.


The Goody-Two Shoes Hero:

> Tofu: Food of Champions. You get +5 good points for each one you eat.
> Donations. Basic stuff. Donate to the Temple of Avo in Witchwood, get bonuses.
> "Justly" Slaughter Creatures. They offer a bit of good points for each kill. Kill, kill, kill, because THIS type of killing is a-OK. 
> Forget Lady Grey. Seriously, she ain't worth all the hassle. I could probably rant on about the sidequest in The Lost Chapters concerning her stupid ass, but that's boring. Don't bother trying to marry her. You'll keep your good points that way.
> Be a merciful god. As tempting as it is to lop off Twinblade's head after whooping his giant butt, don't. Don't kill Whisper, even though she's annoying as hell. And don't kill your sister. That pretty much screws you over.
> Specific area spells. Use surrounding spells like "Enflame" or "Divine Fury" when facing multiple foes. These spells do not harm any innocents yet obliterate any evil guys. Good stuff.


Evil Badass? YAY!

> The Worst of Sins. Eating "crunchy chicks." They are the tofu for bad people. +5 bad points each time!
> RAMPAGE. You can buy out a whole town if you just kill everyone. Murder away! 
> Steal. If you get caught, oh well. Kill the villager/shopkeeper and the guards that come later.
> Temple of Skorm. Located in the depths of Darkwood (next to the Camp) is the evil temple of Skorm. Get people to follow you there and then BAM sacrafice. (A good way to get people to follow you is to hire those bodyguards that you see in towns and slaughter them to appease good ol' Skorm.)
> Jedi Skillz. Use the Force Push. It hurts innocents and enemies, makes a cool noise, and you look awesome. 
> Marry Lady Grey. That woman just reeks of evil. You can get evil points while you try to marry her, and after when her whole background story pops up.

This is me and one of my many spouses. Note that everyone in the background is in love with me.

That's all for now. Feel free to post questions or add-ons. 
I'll update this when I get more info. (And I will, because Fable friggin' rocks.)
