  SPOILER ALERT: Reading ahead of where you are in the walkthrough will
  certainly spoil your play experience, and is not recommended. The checklists
  will also ruin the surprise of what rewards are given for various
  collections you might pursue while playing. If you want a truly spoiler free
  experience, play through the story with no guide, then play a new character
  using a walkthrough to earn everything you may have missed. Fable II
  supports up to six characters per user profile.

  {LABELS}
  This guide has a labeling system for jumping quickly within the document.
  First highlight the label of interest (typically by double clicking).
  Then use your viewer's "Find" function (typically CTRL+F) and find next.

This guide consists of a walkthrough, play tips, and a set of thorough yet
concise checklists of items that may interest you while you play. This guide
is intended to supplement the game manual and in-game help systems, which I
highly recommend you make use of.

The Power Gamer Walkthrough section is written as concisely and spoiler-free
as possible. The quests are listed in the order that they become available.
I point out collectibles as they become available, and recommend using the
corresponding checklists to track your progress for whatever interests you.

The Power Gaming Tips section is somewhat of an indulgence for me to share my
experiences, having played through four times. If I'm lucky my tips will help
you make more informed decisions and have more fun playing Fable II.

Fable II offers many sub-goals for you to choose from. It is important to note
that missing out on some or even all of these collectibles will not ruin your
play experience at all. For example, while the legendary weapons are cool, and
some may help you along the way, it is in no way necessary to collect even one
of them to have a fun and successful play-through.

The checklists are self-contained, so that you can use the lists to collect
items that interest you and skip those that do not, without missing relevant
information. I will precede each checklist with general notes, including any
relations to Xbox LIVE Achievements. I am not writing an Achievements section,
because the only challenging Achievements are The Completionist and The
Dollcatcher; the former can be earned by using the checklists, and the latter
by trading copies of the character doll you earn at the shooting range online.

A good way to make use of the checklists in this guide would be to select the
list you want to print, and use the "Print Selection" option. In this way, you
could print each checklist separately to use while you play.
