Ah damn it, well I had finished the game with the female hero so I wanted to make a new male hero but this time for the PC version rather than the xbox360 game but I'll just make some random profile and make a new male hero.
My friend just married some beggar, opted for the swamp wedding in Mourningwood, and as soon as the ceremony ended, they appeared in the middle of a group of Hobbes, and his wife was savagely beaten to death.
I'm thinking about buying this game... Would you recommend I buy it now, or in a month or so when I'm actually able to play it consistently?
If they're going to add economics into the game, I think they should understand economics first. How would criminalizing alcohol help the economy? Are that many inhabitants of Albion THAT addicted to alcohol? Also, why can't I just make plans to build all the shit the people want me to build for good AFTER fighting the darkness, and why can't I change tax rates at any time and how much for each social class? Thanks for not giving me any middle ground or any alternative legislative routes and then calling me a bad ruler for choosing between vomit and shit.
Yes, I know, you can keep the promises and save the people by... dare I say it... farming gold. Games are a form of [B]entertainment[/B], so I won't do boring things like farm in a video game, unless someone is paying me in real life. I do not want to do something that isn't productive if I'm not having fun doing it. The only boring parts in a video game should be tutorials.

Which should be skipable.

You get money because the aristocrats are paying you to criminalize it.

I complained about how little sense that entire part made a few pages back, almost exactly what you said. It pissed me off.
I have to wonder who wrote the storyline to this game. I really contemplated it, and I figured it out; [u]A child wrote it.[/u] Maybe even a toddler.
1. It makes little sense. Some "choices" are an insult to fucking common sense.
2. The villain is as absolutely uncreative as it gets. This is the type of "bad guy" I'd imagine when I was 8 years old. Darkness? [i]Really?[/u] It's predictable too, he monologues about light and dark. I didn't even need to play the game to guess that.
3. The game assumes you will get attached to the characters, even though they're hollow and boring, and most times irritating. Page is a cunt, Walter is a nuisance and is just god damned annoying, Reaver is a cock, and they even made John Cleese's character annoying. A+.
4. Logan's character is inconsistent. At the end of the game, he claims he was only "evil" to save everyone, but the game plays him out to actually be evil. There's even an [i]entire cutscene dedicated to conveying this image[/i], and the game fucking starts out with conveying the image. That makes no sense, even if he had to enact policies everyone hated and shit, that doesn't mean he actually needed to be a gigantic dickwad to everyone, including his brother.
5. Some portions of the storyline didn't even need to happen or were overly obscure or made out to be more complicated than they even needed to be. You got all dressed to infiltrate a party, but it skips any sort of espionage or anything interesting. It could have equally been "GO TALK TO REAVER". Why did you even need to "infiltrate" the party? Goddamnit. You walked right the fuck into the house anyway, with no security or any resistance, there was no need to play it out like that, she immediately told the fucking guy that we were there to break people out. It was stupid.
6. Seems like events are just strung together without any real reason or need.
7. Good/Evil decision making is pointless in this game. There's no physical attributes and the benefits are the same in either direction, they don't really matter and only serve to elicit responses from the AI. They dropped the only inherently interesting thing about a morality system in a game like this.
8. The ending expects you to immediately sympathize with Walter/The Hero, which is stupid. There was no reason for me to care about Walter, he was an irritating character and there was little to no bonding to be done, and very little likeable about whatever character he had.
Hmm, should I buy Fable 3 or Fallout New Vegas. Which is better, or more funny?
Anyone else think that the Guardians bear quite a resemblence to [sp]Jack of Blades? I was really hoping for it to be another member of the court or at least a really high minion of theirs[/sp]
yuki:
1. And what choices would those be?
2. I agree with you, although they could have made him more creepy and interesting, also, most of the time i was saying to myself "Will you just shut the fuck up"
3. I did grow kinda attached, though I must admit, for most of them, I was more attached to bob rom Fable 2.
4. True, though possibly [sp]His encounter with the darkness and subsequent fear of it, is what caused that, afterall, he's not a hero[/sp]
As for the rest I generally agree
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;25887310]
1. And what choices would those be?
[/QUOTE]
I don't know what he's talking about, but one "choice" that I particularly hated after becoming King was the choices between cutting taxes substantially right before a huge fucking war, taxing the shit out of the poor people who couldn't afford dirt or taxing the shit out of the same poor people even worse. All three options would be horrible for a realistic economy and two of them would just be cruel.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;25887310]

Stuff like this:
[quote] The alcohol decision is fucking batshit. It makes no sense. How is outlawing alcohol evil? How does removing a drink limit cost me money? HOW DOES OUTLAWING ALCOHOL GIVE ME MONEY AAAAAAAAAH IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND, IT SHOULD COST MONEY TO POLICE IT AND BRING IN REVENUE BY TAXATION.[/quote]
(From page 25 I think, accidentally hit edit instead of quote)
I understand that Fable is a black/white good and evil game, but this shit doesn't make sense, you can't just randomly assign morality to decisions like this.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;25887310]
4. True, though possibly [sp]His encounter with the darkness and subsequent fear of it, is what caused that, afterall, he's not a hero[/sp][/QUOTE]
But that gets shattered when [sp]at the end, he suddenly becomes good and explains the whole thing, demolishing any reason he had for being such an asshole. There's no reason he couldn't have just explained it in the first place.[/sp]
[sp]Poor Walter[/sp]
Fable 3 was an okay game, though the decisions you had to make didn't really make sense, nearing the end.
If people knew that there were an APOCALYPSE approaching I think they'd work harder for the government, and why wouldn't they trust their king, who is a HERO. Has proven to be one as well.
So all in all, it was stupid, yet pretty fun.
Fable 1, a few questions:
What are minions weak against?
Where do I buy augmentations
Where can I buy black chainmail armor (not the arena though)
I've got to say, this game makes things far too black and white. I'd rather have complex morality than mutating weapons and holding hands.

Really large two handed weapons. Do the trophy cheat until you have 80000 or 8000(I can't remember how much gold is worth in Fable 1) gold, then buy the solus greatsword from the shop in Bowerstone North. That sword cuts through them like butter.
Some stores have them, like the one in Hookcoast, but you usually find them in chests.
Oakvale sells chainmail, if I remember correctly.

That's one thing I liked about Fable 2 was the morality system of having cruelty and ethics. That would have worked great in Fable 3 because you had to make decisions between being cruel and being long-term ethical. Donating your money to the treasury could have just been a way to increase your ethical morality.
What pisses me off is the Ruler of Albion part isn't in depth enough. Say you [sp]make the choice of building a school, instead of child labour[/sp] it should make everyone in bowerstone smarter or atleast give you a popup after saying everyone is or something. Needs more consequences of the actions you choose.

Maybe it carries over into fable 4 majorly, 1 year isn't enough to see any noticeable difference. And when you save everyone, why does it say that you may have made unpopular choices, but you made the right ones, when I did do the popular choices and saved everyone?
Oh shit I had thought Fable 3 wasn't coming out for like another year. What is the general consensus from Facepunch? Is it better than the first 2?
If you liked 2, you'll probably like 3. It have its improvements from Fable 2, which are nice, but some things feel downgraded.
I feel like they rushed Fable 3. I mean, the graphics are about as good as Fable 1's, but sometimes the movement loses frames and characters look like cheap animated characters from army of darkness or something for a brief few seconds, or when my beard keeps clipping through my cheek and it looks like I shaved half of my beard off. There also aren't that many clothing/hair styles and I haven't encountered some of the more fun enemies to fight like white balverines and trolls. Although, I didn't like the way you fought trolls in Fable 2, I would like to fight a Fable 1 troll. There also isn't much point to finding melee weapons anymore, especially if you're like me and you like to use the hammer. By the end of the game, I could kill most enemies with one swing.
The gameplay is still fun and it is much more like Fable 2 than Fable 1, and overall, it was fun. However, there still were some disappointments. Also, if you want a good ending, don't complete the quests as king until you've farmed enough gold to fund the war against the darkness, along with keeping your promises. Everyone in my game is dead because I was half expecting there to still be some way to save them or bring them back to life and the quest chain ended sooner than I expected.
Also, I think doing what was politically unpopular was probably more ethical than letting everyone die.
Well, I'm currently playing Fable III and I have to say, it's by far worth the £60 I bought it for...
However...
I pre-ordered the game and used the code for the extras like the Aurora costumes and the Wolfbane sword, ect. The thing is, none of that has got to me, I can't change my dogs breed and I have none of the other features that the card said I would have.
Now, before someone tells me to re-use the code, I can't, being the dumbass I am, I threw away the card with the code on.
So, any ideas guys?
Has anyone else seen that weird glitch with reaver's hair? Like, it pops up and down.

You don't get the Aurora clothes until you open the chest in the Hunter's Lodge, which you unlock after you finish Brightwall. You get the free DLC weapons as you unlock your hero weapons. You get Wolfsbane from a quest in Silverpines, however the quest isn't unlocked until you reach Bowerstone.
I'm still certain that you can change your dogs breed when you first get access to The Sanctuary though right? If so, I get no option to do so at my dogs basket.

Do you have fable 3? Wanna do some co-op?
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;25905062]Do you have fable 3? Wanna do some co-op?[/QUOTE]
Sadly no
Me and my friend were playing Fable 2 co-op since he's never played it.
Within 2 hours, our hero was an evil, gay, corrupt, crossdressing mass murder. We danced naked and ended up married to a gay guy, who my friend shot in the head. We then spent another 2 hours seducing a guy and just before we were about to get married, he got killed by bandits. This was pretty disturbing.
