Replaying fable

[Stevedave00]

Is it possible to play as a pure magic or ranged?
I know melee is the easiest.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

As long as you use force push and run away to resupply your mana, then sure.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

I only ever used the legendary crossbow wheni found it. Its quite easy to play only as ranged, especially when you get all the better legendary ranged weapons

 

[Lyri]

It's easy to play as everything on that game, you shouldn't have any problem.

Skorms bow is epic win.

Um, what is exactly the point of this? It's not like we can discuss anything! It will take a couple of people to answer your question and then what? Oh well, I guess we can always talk about ducks, until the thread gets locked

As for your question, yes you can, if you are a masochist!

There's many ways to do this, Hence the thread. Personally I've never done this before so I'm looking for as much info as i can get.

Fable 1? Ranged is stupidly overpowered. Simply take Slow Time and Multi-Arrrow spells and then max your accuracy. Never be hit. Ever. Not once in the game. Magic is similar, plan your spells and don't spend willy nilly, take spells that give you instant advantages, which are slow time and AoE effects. Take some good AoE and that's the swarms handled, take fireball for larger foes, and keep slow time up.

Still, best combo is a greatweapon weilder with Slow Time, Beserk and Multi-Strike all maxed.

Take that spell that lets you appear behind people and you can kill 15 balverines before the first one has hit the ground. And it looks Fucking Epic.

I know you could use ranged really well for sneak attacks and dogding.
As for magic, just try to buy every spell that you think you will enjoy and invest in 1000 mana potions.

That's the best way, I should know i completed the game the first time that way.
But I'm trying to shy away from melee so it's abit more of a challenge.

Ranged + Timestop + Multi Arrow + Force Push = stupidly overpowered ownage and never being hit. It's way easier than melee.

 

[Vrex360]

I always get 'Spell warrior' because there are points where you simply MUST use the sword, like when the enemies are right up in your face.
But still spell warriors are cool.

You want a challenge? Don't level up. Ever.
I know what you're thinking, but it's not impossible. You spend a few hours gambling for money to buy a full set of plate, get a master bow (because meleeing with no health is stupid), loads of Rez Philes, and learn to dodge.

 

[hypothetical fact]

Just don't play as a spell sword, there are far too many spells in the game that turn a spell sword into easy mode. I am sure the spells have already been mentioned.

Pure mage is quite simple and you end up maxing your spells out far before you normally would in the game (as is expected). The main spell you want is enflame. It is pure epic. Every other spell you get should revolve around this spell (slow-time for easier hits, heal-life for when you get hit, assassin rush to close the distance, physical shield so they can't get any combos in on you, etc.) Swords and bows help as mage only in the fact that you can block hits with a sword and by equipping a bow you can hit things with lightning from about twice as far away.

Strategy for mage-only: As soon as you can get the bandit gear, dark will user's gear and bright platemail (full set of all of them). Use them to get into the door near twinblade's camp so you can get the dollmaster's mace (it sort of (key word sort-of) helps restore mana until you can properly get the frying pan and five mana augmentations). Once you have that do not change your equipped weapons until you can get the frying pan (properly (you MUST have all six clues first)). Augment it with five mana augmentations (either five at once or 3 once then two later, never EVER EVER!!! get it to four and then exit the menu as you won't be ablt to put a fifth augment onto it). Then get a master longbow (or crossbow) and augment it with 3 mana augmentations. With eight augmentations you restore will power at almost the same rate as full level lightning uses it and having it will help you save will potions. If you are playing Fable: The lost Chapters then the final bosds battle is going to be time consuming as even enflame and the two super spells (divine fury thingy) do sweet F.A. to his health bar.

As for your question, yes you can, if you are a masochist!

Indian Runners are considered one of the top egg-laying breeds of ducks. For their relative body size, they can lay an impressively large egg. Since they are so active at foraging for their own food, a runner with free access to plenty of good pasture and other sources of free food may just be the most cost effective way of producing eggs. But a runner hen is only as good a layer as her parents. Breeding for consistantly good producers means only using your best laying hens for reproduction. It also means using the sons of good producers. The drake is often overlooked for his contribution to the egg laying abilities of his daughters. But he actually can have a significant impact. Dave Holderread describes an experiment in the 1970's where they found that crossing a Khaki Campbell drake from a high yield strain to any other breed created amazing egg machines. But doing the reverse by using a Khaki Campbell hen from a high yield strain to any other breed only produced mild improvement in the egg laying abilities of the off spring.

Sorry about that, anyway you should play as a magic man!
