Fable 2

Re: Fable 2

I know everyone is used to the in depth, well written, thought provoking reviews so this will be somewhat off the path.
Gameplay: Fun
Visuals: Very Nice
Sound: Very nice
Value for 60.00: Great

Bottom Line: Fable II is a game where I don't care if there is a small glitch here or there. What it does deliver it delivers in a nice package.
What does a small amount of clipping or second or 2 of frame drop take away from review scores these days? -1 or -.8
My point is the game is FUN despite any small problems. When I sit and play it I'm having fun and it's an enjoyable amount of time well spent. I'm not worrying if such and such setting/slider is giving me the right gameplay etc..

It is a game where I am looking forward to getting back into as soon as I can.
That's a type of game I want to have and a game I'd recommend to anyone who just wants to relax and have fun.
I'll certainly have another play through once I'm done with the first character I'm playing with...

Re: Fable 2

I def am enjoying it. I'll admit, from games like Halo, Madden, NCAA where the controls are so tight and one step only covers one foot on the ground, the controls to me feel a bit clunky, but all things considered it doesnt take away from the game. Just found it weird when i tried to manuever somewhere and my guy is all over th eplace instead of takign one step. I can live with it. Love the dog and the fact that you can nickname each character.

I turend the trail thing to medium. I like having it, bc otherwise i would be so lost with the main story (i think), but i like going exploring, talking to people.

My biggest problem (and i dont mean bad problem, but decision) is whether to be bad or good. I hover between both. I gave the warrants to the guard, i freed the slaves, but then i go into people shop and steal or braek down a door. All my expressions are ones of positive effect, but every now and again, i like to let a fart rip. So i guess i wont be a superhero or super villian, ill be the dude with gas that keeps you on your toes.

And for the love of Pete, when i try to woo a lady by flirting, i hate when a dude walks up and starts to fall for me.........creepy

One thing that irks me, is as soon as i draw my sword or crossbow, everyone becomes afraid of me, yet i havent struck anyone yet. Sometimes its an accident or ill have it drawn and run in front of someone and they become afraid.

Dont be scared, i havent killed a good guy.............yet. There is one gentleman who lives an "alternative lifestyle" that will defintely be beaten.

Forget the dont ask dont tell, no one says i have to be tolerant in Albion, i rule with an iron fist!

Re: Fable 2

Spent a good hour working at the blacksmith and woodcutter. Already purchases like 5 trade stands and I think 3 houses. I'm making like 300 gold every five minutes. Which is sick.

Re: Fable 2

Let me see, I got just enough money from Pub games to buy the furniture store and then just waited until I got some money from that and bought the Blacksmith, then I waited and bought the clothing store. I eventually bought every store and stand in the main square in Bowerstone(I think that is the city). I tell you one thing, I dont think I will have to worry about money anymore. :P I also got two wifes each with a kid then I accidently got engage to two more. I am not buying them a house or anything so they will break the engagement. The two wifes I got each get a allowance, One gets 300, the other gets about 500. The game is really deep and I am loving every minute of it. BTW the people who thought that the dog was going to be annoying, he is not. I actually love the dog. BTW, I dont think it is a spoiler but its towards the beginning

when my dog got the dig icon and found the Condom I about died laughing

I havent bought a house or business yet. Dont have enough gold.

Has anyone had someone else come into their world?

If you mean the orbs then yes. Candyman gave my brother 7000 gold last night, hahaha. It's kinda cool, I was playing the game and see my friend walking by and he shouts me a" Hey Chris!" Expands the sense of a community a little more.

Re: Fable 2

Ok I figured out the sex ting.

I have found that the best chance is to wait to be asked (it's hard to tell if they are asking for sex) then you get a thumbs up promp as hitting down on the d-pad. At this point if you press down they will actually follow you - so now when you go to a bed, it willl still say 'sleep; but when you press A it will have the protected or unprotected sex option.

Now i found that the best way is to walk to the bar and stand near a bed, wait for the girls to start asking, then bring them back to my place (which is opposite the furniture store in the market) ...I do this because your sex can be interrupted by people and the girl will say something like 'you couldn't find a bed?'

So in short; if the thumbs up icon actually makes them follow you (gives follow icon above their head) you're on your way to getting lucky and SCORE!

Orgies would require some technical skill since it would get confusing since girls gather in droves and only a few will potentially want to get it.

I'm only doing unprotected to see how many children the game allows

Re: Fable 2

I'll just be glad when the weekend comes and I can get some long playtime in. Yesterday was another loong day/night at work. Managed to (Mistake with the way I feel now) get some more time in after getting home from work late last night.

I just want to sit and play and not have to worry about getting up to go to work the next day...That's my weekend plans in between football.

Re: Fable 2

I've seen Sky, Candy, GiGGAS, and CS10029. Candy was nice enough to throw some golf my way. The game is really fun, quite alot to do. I pretty much quit the quests, to do side jobs, etc. Will try and get back on track tomorrow. Got enough money to buy a house. Trying to decide if I should buy one and rent it in Bowerstone, or save up for a business.

How much interaction can you do?

Man this is awesome though. I'll be picking this up after work tonight!
