Alex is a character in Fable II. She is encountered during the "Till Death Do Us Part" quest and can be found at Bowerstone Market in Fable II.
Alex was the fiancée of the ghost Victor on the hill at Rookridge. On the day of their wedding, Alex got cold feet and ran away, which broke the ghost's heart and ultimately led to the ghost's suicide. The quest itself involves the Hero seeking revenge upon Alex on the ghost's behalf.
The Choices
- If the Hero chose to be good he can destroy the Rejection Note received by the ghost in Rookridge. By doing so the Hero can then marry Alex. Afterwords the ghost will realize the error of his ways and thank the Hero for stopping him from making a severe mistake. The ghost will then fade away, leaving the Hero and Alex to live out a happy marriage.
- If the Hero chose to be evil he can give Alex the Rejection Note causing Alex to run away heart-broken and commit suicide. When the Hero returns to the ghost on the hill, Alex will already be there. They will argue between themselves until finally Alex notices you and figures out that it was a trick, and runs off, leaving the other ghost to run after her.
- You can outright kill Alex yourself.
Trivia
- Likes
- Place: Bowerstone Clock Tower
- Gift: Freshly Picked Flowers
- Expression: Seduce
- Dislikes
- Play Dead
- Both models of Alex can be found as an adult in the childhood stage of the game, although the male model is given a different name, and the female model cannot be highlighted. Additionally, the character skin that has the same gender as the current Hero can be seen, although somewhat rarely, as a regular villager in that Hero's playthrough.
- After completing the quest ending in Alex's death, she may reappear in Bowerstone Market, still in love with the Hero. The Hero may woo and marry Alex, who still loves the hero, however she does not respond correctly to the Hero's actions (e.g. she will profess to want sex but the Hero cannot take her to bed, etc.) This bug has been widely reported online.
- If you kill Alex or sacrifice her to the Temple of Shadows, she will appear just as if you gave her the rejection note.
- Sometimes you can find the female model of Alex working at Rookridge Inn or in Bowerstone Cemetery though her name is different.
- Alex may seem like a good choice as a first spouse, but she is extremely hard to keep, as for some reason, leaving her for three days will almost always result in her leaving you.
- However, if you immediately have a child with her, have her live with the child in Homestead (Demon Door in Oakfield), and make her upkeep 75 (3.75x more than her original desire) or more she will withstand a recorded 180+ hours. Note: This was tested on a good, pure, will user with the best appearance.
- Using the "Buy and move in with spouse" may trigger another wedding sequence, and the original house will not be rentable. This may be because the game thinks that she still lives there, even though there is only one model of her. Under families it will say Alex twice, and both will lead you to the same person. This will also give you the Blackmail! quest, and the Bigamist Achievement. A simple way to avoid this is to just save before choosing a first house,
- Alex cannot give any presents. If the game ever says that Alex has a gift for you it will be the Blackmail Letter.
- You cannot change Alex's name, like you can with most other NPCs.
- If you marry Alex and kill her, or not marry her and kill her, you will not be able to see her ghost.
- The cheapest way to marry Alex is to take Alex to the Demon Door in Oakfield, and propose to Alex in front of the door. Then use the house within the Demon Door as a marital home,
Bugs
- Sometimes if you give her the rejection note you may see them after the quest is finished but they won't be a ghost and will not interact with you.
