It says poll but i don't see any questions?
And how is this topic supposed to generate discussion? All you have said is you love Fable/Fable2, no question, no opinion with reason, nothing really.

So what is it you love about Fable/Fable 2? I liked Fable 2 for a while but it was too glitchy and shallow to keep playing.
Generally in a discussion forum you post something you want to discuss, if you want to just post opinions:ThePocketNinja said:
1) Don't
2) Try another forum
Edit: And welcome to the escapist, may all your future posts be informative/witty/interesting
Its ok we can try to generate some discussion on our opinions of Fable/Fable 2.
I personally loved Fable but Fable 2 didn't seem as appealing on the second playthrough for some reason.

Been here about a month.
When did you earn the right to be condescending?
He even apologized. No need to be a dick after that point.
Edit: Fable 1 was an over-hyped but enjoyable game with a few problems but a still very enjoyable story and combat system. Fable 2 built upon this, not entirely fixing the game but still making leaps towards a perfect game with such game devices as the economy and animal companion.
Then nobody would be here again reading this thread pointless, or negitive useful, how would I discribe it?ThePocketNinja said:
The worst game ever is Fable 2. Lemme copy/pasta one of my old posts on this game....
Bad points of this game:-
1. RETARDED money making mechanics. A game should be fun. That is not only important, it is the entire point. Pressing 'A' in time to a moving circle going through a coloured line is not only repetitive and not fun, but it is also something that could have been done on a damn ZX81 in 1980. It wasn't. Do you know why? I'll give you 3 guesses, and also a clue - think of the word "utter crap".
2. Relationship micromanagment. This was tried in GTA 4, and it was universally hated. When we are playing a game we are doing so to have fun. Sometimes this is done by the gameplay, in others it comes from advancing the story forward. When, in a game, you are stopped from gameplay, and stopped from advancing the story, because your god-damn wife is threatening a divorce and wants you to go and burp in her face for 10 minutes it makes me wonder what the hell I am playing this game for. Before you say "ohh but you don't have to do that in this game!" Peter M trumpetted all this kind of crap as the next great thing in gaming and said that most of the game consisted of material outside the main quest... I.E. this stuff. So if even if you agree that this kind of crap is indeed crap, 90% of the game is crap.
3. Main quest. The 10% that consists of the main quest consists of this...
Correct me if I am wrong, but that is considerably worse than the story of Fable 1. That is even worse and more simplistic than a Garfield cartoon.
4. Bugs. This game has some of the most cripplingly stupid bugs I have ever witnessed in a game. A Lionhead developer has actually posted work arounds on the offical forums to deal with some of them. Click. [http://community.lionhead.com/forums/thread/3188498.aspx]

Look at what happened to this guy. [http://community.lionhead.com/forums/thread/3230838.aspx] And due to Peter Ms hubris, the game won't let you back up saves. That would detract from his vision of a game so pure where every decision counts (not that anyone would play for fun or anything). So when you do get a bug that breaks your game, you have to start again.
5. Tedious. Every point I made makes the game fail, and makes it tedious. The worst crime any game can commit is to become tedious for the player. I am doing this to have fun, not to have the will to live sucked right out of me by soul-crushing tedium.
The hype of this game is directly proportional to how bad it is.

Do little childhood bit. Then grow up and go to heros guild.
Go to get hero 1, build up some renown, do quest, get hero.
Go get hero 2, build up some renown, do quest, get hero.
Go get hero 3, build up some renown, do quest, get hero.
Do minigame shooting bottles and kicking chickens. Not even doing it as this uber warrior you have just spent hours building up.
Find final bady guy for show down. Hold down the 'A' Button, win game.
