Had this arrive this morning, 17 quid including postage on Ebay. I've been pretending to revise all day so not had a chance to play it yet, but as of 1pm tomorrow I am planing on having a monster session. SO assuming some of you have played it are there any early decisions in the game that i need to make one way or the other to not fk it all up? Also is it any good or will I be bored by dinner time?

Top game, basically you can choose between the 'light' or 'dark' side, most missions you decide whether to make the morally good decision or be a badass for your own gains. This ultimately effects the way your character looks later in the game, ie If you're good you get a halo, bad and you get horns!

personally I found it worth my while "grinding" through the first couple of jobs you find (Blacksmith and woodcutter) Just to get to L5 on each.

That gave me sh*t load of money which I then increased in the in-game gambling. It's pretty much meant I can get some good kit early on without having to scratch around for it (or steal it!)

However I introduced my girlfriend to it the other day on a co-op and haven't been able to play since so be warned of the potential dangers of that, clearly it is a game that attracts the fairer sex!

You can't make a bad decision in the game, certainly nothing that will ruin the game for you.

If you're really desperate about making money fast, then do a few jobs and build up a bit, buy a house or a couple of stalls which will generate you income, then quit the game, forward your 360 clock along by about 5 years (probably need to disconnect it from the net for this to work) and then go back into the game, you'll have accrued 5 years worth of additional income from your investments, save the game again and then swap the time back.

I wouldn't worry about trying to get great kit early on. It's not a hard game at all - just enjoy the world and have a laugh.

As mentioned though it really isn't hard even with the basic weapons so there's no real cause to cheat.

If you must cheat though then you might want to learn that by getting player 2 to join the game then leave, all their experience points will transfer over to you as soon as you disappear, as the computer automatically gives them free experience points to start with then this is a quick and easy way to level yourself up.
