Fable II, the official thread.

Also, does anyone have the exact quote from the beginning

Spoiler

(and end) after you get shot by Lucien both times.

of the game? "Death is not your destiny..." something. I can't remember the rest.

Death is not in your future?, said by Theresa

BTW is it just me or did Theresa speak in a really evil voice when she said 'The spire belongs to me'?

 

[hypothetical fact]

Where is lady grey after you resurrect her? I tried to propose but she wanted a 5 star ring so I left, got one, came back, but she disapeared and never returned.

Also don't choose the money after killing lucien, when Theresa says all the money in Albion she means just enough to afford castle fairfax then you're broke.

hey iam just wondering should i buy or rent this game. But next week iam going to be buying fallout 3 and i dont know if i have enough money to buy both so should i buy or rent? thx

I don't think a rent will do the game justice. You won't want to give it back.

or you could do, eb's "rent the game for a week then return it" scam.

and question for curisosities sake, what weapons/augmentations/spells do you all prefer using?

Well, this game managed to get me to feel.

The high emotion moments reached me, and i found myself caring.

Molyneux is redeemed entirely. When Reaver delivers both his bastardly shots i felt compelled to ventilate his skull. The game world was huge, the characters compelling and the more adult features of the game handled well if a bit quirky. Morality issues handled a ton better, and there is the real feeling that every action has a consequence. I found myself loving my dog, despite vows i would kick his ass to death the moment i got him. Makes my top 5 straight away.

And of course i chose love, who could do anything otherwise? Although... i did enjoy this little tidbit...

Spoiler: The Letter was odd.

Thin, hood, Scary face, kingly.

Knows your family... meet you very soon...

Jack of Blades? With Theresa still alive (assumed) and kicking, and now in control of the spire... who knows?

I sense a sequel of much epicness.

Can anyone explain

Spoiler

memory lane demon door, the one in rookrodge

to me?

Spoiler

Its easy, just buy a ton of expression books for your dog from Bowerstone bok store, go to the door, then perfrom the expressions requirmed to make your dog do the actions, for example, a thumbs up makes him do a backflip if you have the right book.

Spoiler

inside Memory lane chest you get a ppition of life - increases your hrealth by 50 points

Its a great game...if Brightwood wouldn't crash so I could continue with the game...its incredibly buggy.

 

[Axolotl]

So far it seems largely the same a s Fable 1 but better.

Currently I'm trying to play through the game as a skill focused hero. This is a very bad idea.

Also whoever designed the trolls should go and die in a hole.

The first time i saw her i got the same bad feeling as when i met that old blind jedi who becomes you master in KOTOR 2 :the sith lord

I like using guns, specifically the blunderbuss, with the augmentation which steals health from the target (unsure of the name) - it's a good way to retreat and recuperate. Melee-wise, a nice speedy katana is my weapon of choice. My favourite spell is Force Push - invaluable during some rounds of The Crucible.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

This game is awesome IF you forget about everything the hype promised. It isn't what it was made out to be in the weeks before its release, but it's still a good game. The one thing that bothered me a considerable amount, however, was the lack of actual adventure in it. Sure, you can free roam and piss about all you want and never get anywhere in the game, but you can't go out and find a random cave to explore, like in, say, Oblivion.

My character does look awesome though. He has a pointy wizards hat and a halo, and the point of the hat goes through the halo and makes it look like the halo is sitting on the hat and aahhhh its awesome

Overall, definately worth getting. This game has some proper replay value for sure.

and question for curisosities sake, what weapons/augmentations/spells do you all prefer using?

Level 1 time control is my favorite spell for sure. Since I can just quickly spam it when it stops I only really need level 1. For augments I like the take gold for each kill one, saves me having to work. Also a nice Katana is good with a blunderbuss to blow someones face off at the end of a combo.

My character's morbibly obese, and nothing seems to help.
Vegetables don't help a thing, and the SECOND you eat meat or pie or whatever you get even fatter.
My character drank 3 beers, then he was a lard ass.

YES that's who she reminded me of! Kreya from KOTOR, I swear she has the exact same voice.

Ah I got fat after a desperate pie spamming on low health. Although I don't know why, the death system is a piece of shite. Anyway, stop off at any produce vendors you come across and buy celery. It slowly but surely trims off the fat.

Btw sorry for double posting.

 

[waffletaco]

I knew when I heard that voice that something was going to go down with her.

Spoiler: Fable I TLC epic spoiler

The problem with having Jack of Blades back is that last time around you had the choice to throw the mask into the fire and destroy it, or keep it and regain evilly. So really the is no fixed conclusion with him.

 

[Axolotl]

Just finished it, best ending I've seen in a game.

Spoiler

You also had the choice to sacrifice your sister, but she seems to be just fine. Maybe the person who activated the Spire the first time was your old hero, and he wished to bring back his family, but in the process brought back Jack of Blades? (Not to mention destroying the world) I don't know. It's plausible.

 

[Mr. Moose]

Will Lionhead ever make a patch or something that allows you to play as your own character in someone elses game?
I wanted Fable 2 for Co-op.

Yea I thought the ending was actually pretty good like, a boss battle would have been nice but it wasn't anticlimactic or anything.

Spoiler

The choice at the end was a bit of a ***** though where it was money, your dog, or lots of random people, I had to choose the dog but the cash was damn tempting.

And just me or did anybody else think this game was too god damn short?
