Re: Fable 2

TJ, why did you give me your pauper boots?

My guess is to get the achievement?

Actually, I didn't know there was an achievement attached to that until after I did it. Why? I dunno...because I wanted to try giving something to someone but didn't want to part with anything really valuable.

Good GOD this game is addictive! I can feel myself getting into this the way I got into Oblivion...and before that...Final Fantasy Online on the PS2. I normally don't play these types of games but I can see myself spending a TON of time on this one.

Re: Fable 2

I agree. Also doesn't hurt that the achievements are awesome!

And TJ, you killed a bunny!? Shame shame.

Re: Fable 2

This game is crazy good. I put close to 6 hours into last night, which hasn't happened in awhile.

I think the funniest moment came in Bowerstone as I was looking to upgrade my weapons. A chick I had banged earlier in the game came up to me and said " Remember me? You should really consider giving your son Phil a wardrobe upgrade." Then my poor little bastard child ran from me screaming at the top of his lungs.

I've done enough evil to have my eyes starting to glow and horns starting to appear. My face also glows from the magic I use.

Uhh....I thought it was an evil attack bunny? LOL...seriously. I was 5 minutes into the game at that point, I saw something jumping at me and I killed it.

I dunno too much.

Re: Fable 2

Do one on one playthrough then the other... or have two saves going on?

You can only have 1 save at a time as far as I can see. One of my few complaints about the game. It's video crack otherwise.

1) my gamertag is CallmeTaterNutz (feel free to add me)

2) I said it before, ill say it again. im COMPLETELY overhwelmed with all the stuff you can do. I've put in about 8 hours on the game so far and ive done maybe 3 quests

Spoiler

I just did the "Til Death Do us Part" where you talk to the ghost

The problem im having is trying to decide what i want to do, and how much is too much. Ive taken two jobs and become level 4 at both, bought some houses and stands. I dont know if i should get on the main story, or just hang around towns and see what happens.

How are you guys playing the game? Going straight through the main storyline? I just feel like everytime i go into a town, i want to talk to everyone, build up my favor with them and be a good guy, but then i like to bash in some doors and steal at night.

This isnt really a spoiler, but for the sake of being P.C.

And the stupid guards keep telling me i broke a law. Excuse me Mr Guard, I dont think its a crime to take Richard the Bisexual Drunkard into an alley and shoot him with my crossbow, consider it a public service.........The More You Know.........

Re: Fable 2

Had the game since Monday. Beat it early this morning, probably going to start an evil woman soon. I believe it clocked in at just around 21 hours unless my math with the seconds was off. The end of the game really snuck up on me and thought the way it was built up could have been better. It's like it just throws you into the ending sequence after

Spoiler

gathering the 3 heroes

. The 3 options to choose from at the end of the game are tough, or at least 2 of them are, 1 of them didn't make a bit of difference to me. I went with the one that was most important to my game and that was option B (I won't tell what it was, you'll see). The choice was made slightly easier by the event that happened just before that. All in all, a fantastic game, and I can see myself still playing it for a long time.

Re: Fable 2

I dont feel like i'll ever see the end of the game. Too much other stuff to do. How do you level up your looks (i.e. your buffness)? Doing more swordwork, eating certain foods?

I got a close up of my guy and he has that feint blue hieroglyphics stuff, stupid magic. I want to be a hero, not a wizard.

Re: Fable 2

Do less magic then, Tater. To upgrade your physique you have to get a lot of blue orbs which come from melee combat.

Re: Fable 2

Yeah I don't see how you can get pissed for turning blue and not wanting to be a wizard when it's obvious you're casting magic..

Re: Fable 2

How does everybody feel about the combat system in the game? I remembering liking Fable 1's better, especially casting magic. I hate having to literally stop in the middle of a fight if I want to change spells - unless I'm missing something. Also, enemies seem a lot easier than Fable 1 (at least so far). No enemies really try to block you.

Gotcha

I know im casting magic, but i feel like for every one spell or whatever i use the sword 7 or 8 times. I thought for sure iw as using more melee combat, but apparently not. I get how the game works, just wondering the balance.

Re: Fable 2

I think it matters most what you kill the enemy with, rather than what you use the most during combat. At least from my experience.
