1. My gloves are permanently red. Dyes will not work on them.
2. The furniture shop in Bowerstone will not get any furniture.
3. A Demon Door is stuck on a sound loop even through I have what he needs to open.
4. A house is stuck as a marital house even though that wife died long ago. All it says is Set Budget, but it returns to zero after I change it.
5. I was able to get the Son of Chesty trophy twice.
6. Sometimes it is just nearly impossible to click on a piece of furniture. The button icon will disappear whenever it feels like it, if it decides to show up at all.
7. My dog will start looking for treasure but then forget what he was doing and just stop.
8. Targeting with the gun sometimes will not go to first person view, and the zoom in feature takes so long it is useless.
9. The online orb feature only worked once for about five minutes after having it turned on for many hours.
ENDING SPOILERS!!!
10. After saving my family at the end. It told me to return to my family, but my wife is nowhere to be found so I can not complete that quest. When I set the breadcrumb trail target as my wife, nothing shows up. My wife does not exist, but my daughter is just fine and still talks about how her mother is so happy.
If glitches like these weren't bad enough. The map system is garbage. I feel like the world is just chunks of floating platforms. There is no cohesiveness to the different areas. Fable 1 was much better about this.
I don't like the spell system. It takes too long to unleash a decent spell, and there are too many spells that are basically the same.
The menu system takes forever to find and select anything. It is just poorly laid out.
I have played for at least 35 hours on my character and after all of this I still really liked the game. When my crib turned into a sweat little girl, I fell in love with her and my wife, even though she was undead. It is just sad that Liohead and Microsoft obviously pushed this out the door in an unfinished state. Jeers to you.

Glitches that ruined my game.
Man, I just encountered my first major glitch.
SPOILERS
**
I just finished the spire quest and so exicted to go home and meet my now 9 year-old daughter and when I get there my wife has completely vanished and my child wont respond to a thing I do.
**
I was so mad I went on a massive killing spree and my character went from 100% good to 100% evil.
I don't know whether to keep playing or to wait until the patch comes in mid-december. Kinda bummed out about this.
My wife disappeared after my service in the spire too, but I heard she might come back after making my way to Bloodstone. I didn't find her there. Thinking all was lost I returned to Bowerstone to lay siege to the city in revenge, but there was my wife waiting with a present. Everything appears to be normal now, but it's a pretty buggy game. I'm surprised the reviews don't mention any of the possibly game-ending glitches.
I think the ending is so garbage it should be considered a glitch. They make this awesome game and just ruined the whole experience with that lame ending.
Yeah, I've encountered most of those glitches, I'll even add one to the list.
Appearently I found 7 out of 6 silver keys in Wraithmarsh, so I have 51 silver keys now.
As for the dog, he seem to notice treasures that are near you, not him. So if you see a treasure or dig spot sign above his head, just stand still and don't move towards him.
I would have been relieved if she left... I mean.. 10+ years in the Spire... I'd damn well expect her to have thrown the ring away and taken my buggy house. To my dismay she was still there... so I did it with her.
Never encountered any of those glitches, I can even say I haven't yet encountered a Glitch. Best game of 2008 so far for me.
I've beaten this game no less then 6 times. Six. And not once have I encountered the slightest glitch or error whatsoever. The furniture store always sells furniture, my gloves aren't stuck in red. Although I can do the Chesty quest unlimited times, I'm pretty that's not a glitch, it's a bed that gives you nightmares. Not a bed that gives you one nightmare then disappears.
