Skyrim to have fable 3 like features

[Matthew Valkanov]

I like the idea of marriage in this game. Dragon slaying and wenching in a Scandinavian setting? Bullwei son of Gunnar(my usual Nordic character), will be pleased. Either that, or a very cold Makoma(my usual Redguard) is gonna get his groove on. (talk about racial stereotypes )

Such a wonderfull roleplaying feature! I don't worry too much since it's Bethesda who's doing the developing.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

I won't mind this feature, I plan on sandboxing the crap out of Skyrim and getting as much enjoyment as possible, so I might get a job in a sawmill, marry a wife, settle down and raise a family, and see how long I can faff about before the game screws itself up and has to force me to continue on with the main quest.

As long as you don't have the rediculous fable way of measuring relationships, which meant that about halfway through the game virtually everyone was in love with you.

I'm ok with this. I just hope the spouse won't divorce you if you are gone too long on a very time consuming adventure. Of course, I also would like my wife/husband to have their own unique attitude and point of views. Also, if you are able to ingage in intercourse, maybe so of your character's traits will pass on to offspring. (Pointy nose=Pointy nose kid) I'm probably asking for too much, but hey, when in Tamriel.

Might be good for roleplaying a certain character, meh, it's something different isn't it.

Well, the adulterated mods are going to be even more plentiful now haha

True that

Slof is going to be busy.

Note that it's that single article that is comparing it to Fable.

Besides from the basics it might not be like Fable's relationship system in any way.

Sounds fantastic! I love the Fable franchise. These new additions to the game sound great.

This.

I always wished Bethesda and Lionhead would make a great game having the features of each other...

Then I woke up w/ a wet spot in my shorts.......


Anyway

What is this new need to hate on Skyrim...what if I want to high five a drinking buddy from the local tavern to kill bandits at the ruins nearby sounds like fun

 

[spartan231490]

Listen. Skyrim is not fable. Skyrim will not have the same problems as fable just because it has similar features. You can use swords in fable too, that doesn't mean it will have the same problems. this is an optional feature that will help make the world more real. I am all for it.

 

[Gudrests]

I don't really see a problem with new features being added.

In fact, I've liked nearly everything I've heard about Skyrim so far. I'm very excited for it.

However, the major, MAJOR exception is the further reduction of armour slots; merging armour and greaves? What were they thinking? What if I want to have a topless Nord barbarian run around like Conan, but still have him wear trousers?

THEY DID WHAT?!?!?!? That's just a bad idea. on their part...ok..so the game does not get a 10/10 out of the box for me (ignoring glitches that are bound to be there)

 

[Hawgh]

Well, those weren't exactly the bad features of Fable 3. They were just horribly, horribly poorly implemented.

 

[William Dickbringer]

I really don't see the problem with it it won't be too bad after all I ignored it in fable I'll ignore it in skyrim (and I want a better computer to play it on I like mods)

 

[Warped_Ghost]

Ya but fable screwed up swords, guns and magic anyway.
Skyrim will probably do it in a better way than fable 3.

 

[Sjakie]

FFS....wait i see light at the end of the tunnel:

some modders will probably turn that feaure into an NPC-whorehouse or Mail-order-brides.....yay?

Bethesda is really losing ground with me. I'm all for 'better borrowed then thought up badly' but their 'borrowing' the wrong things.
I also think it's a shitty idea they included dragons for that matter. The dragons are gonna be the new 'oblivion gates'. think about it and you know what i mean.
I just hope they fix the NPC's conversations and hire plenty of voiceactors this time around, for the rest it will be good (enough) and else i will mod it myself if i have to,

 

[LiquidGrape]

Anything which attempts to improve upon the dire soullessness of Oblivion is a step in the right direction in my book.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

What? Skyrim and Fable in the same sentence!? ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!



Are you serious, OP? *facepalm*

 

[Dogstile]

My reaction.

Why would they do that? Fable 3 was the worst in the series yet (4 will probably top it), hopefully they may learn from lionhead's mistakes.

Let me guess. You read that they were going to add fable it without actually realising that they'll just be doing to exact same bloody thing they did in fallout NV, just with marriage added on IF YOU WANT IT.

Jeez, add the word fable to something and people flip.

 

[jamesmax]

IM loveing how the games sounding so far. The married thing is ok as long as they do it right (dont like sumone ? steal their "Spouse" HEHEHE...) and the ONLY other thing that I am worried about is the class system as long as the do it right (it looks like they are) then alls good.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

I'm sure it will be much better than Fable's character relationships and quests... >>'

Even if it isn't... It wont affect the game too much.

 

[trooper6]

That sounds awesome. One of the things that bugged me about Oblivion and Fallout 3 was the lack of friends and lovers. I like to be able to have personal relationships with people in my RPGs...i.e. I want to have more than anti-social loner who hack and slashes all day long.
