I heard somebody on the hints page say you could freeze the game by using..

By load time, he means a door that takes a time to load between each area. For example: the door between North Bowerstone and South Bowerstone. As you run through these 'load doors', a map should appear showing you an arial view of the area you are entering. You will also see a small spinning brooch in the bottom right corner of the screen, and the area name. Ok?

By the way, this cheat is great, you can just waltz through places where there are meant to be enemies. It's funny, I tried doing this cheat before, but it didnt work. Eventually I got up to lv.4 Assassin Rush, and I was trying to get my EXP up for that door in the Greatwood caves, I was assassin rushing through that door, and suddenly, the ground troll stopped appearing. In fact, I was surprised to see all the traders standing stone still, and no enemies. Brilliant.

RE: Fable - lots of time. I'm not sure what he means, but have we all forgotten about our magic?

I used "SLOW TIME" level 4 on the arena and every mission after that. MAKES IT SO EASY! This combined w/ Lightning, no one can stand up to your boy. Balverines are easy too when you move in real time & everyone else is in Slow motion. Simply WALK around to their backsides & start-to- swingin' that blade.
