we've been doing that silly mybrute thing for how long now, and it's today that I realize how weird it is without any sound effects? Yesh.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yes, it's a little odd, but that makes it perfect for a quick match in the office.
I must admit to growing tired with the game though since level gain after level 9 or so is really damn slow.

USE THE FLAIL" and realizing she can't hear me. I have one brute who just turned level 5 and FINALLY got her first weapon. A stick. Great. If you could pick which weapons & skills they acquire, that would make it a bit more interesting. Also, which weapon they use at any given time. Alas, that would be a completely different game.

move out and draw fire
Random made Mal his own brute, as Mal loves watching the little people fight for his amusement. First level, right out of the box, Mal gets A BEAR.
Fable 2
Sean, the XP orbs do go away, but quite a while after the fight. If you get killed knocked out, though, they go away instantly, so you should pick them up if it looks like you are going to die.
My plan was to be Good first and Evil a second time (and in a way, the game wants you to play at least twice, not just for the achievements), but Random and I are splitting the job, with him playing Evil. So when I hench for him I get the evil achievments, and vice versa.
My problem now is that I've been SO good that it's going to take me several hours of play in order to open my penultimate demon door.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't think I've ever beaten a brute with a bear. I guess you need a net. Or another bear.

There's a lot of dissing of the stick around here, but it has saved my ass so many times it's not funny. No, it doesn't do a lot of damage, but it's FAST and that means it can often intercept an opponent and derail their attack.

I am BEYOND jealous.

My brute "Ill Omen" managed it, with some good shield work and hammering at the bear with a club. He managed to win the whole fight but it was very close. It's a pity the fight's aren't archivable because I would have kept that one due to its EPICness.

Random just informed me that Malificum is now 5th level and has lost ONE fight.

Malificum is destined for stardom. Strength that high and a bear by 5th? Deadly.
eta: I think at 5th level he could probably take my best fighter who is 13th.
P.S: Make sure he's password protected or someone will steal him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This reminds me, I haven't checked in on my Brutes in a while.
