"Fable 3" launched with a number of strengths, as well as a few shortcomings, and Lionhead Studios attempted to improve a few things with a patch over Xbox Live today. Though the bundle of notes Lionhead released may not be comprehensive, it does list some useful improvements that will prevent awkward conversation glitches and keep you from falling off of worlds.
A studio rep cited the following fixes in a post this morning on Lionhead.com, and as you can see problems are getting addressed:
