FABLE II thread and nothing more

[Don Flamenco]

the controls are imprecise and the game has a weird ghosting effect going on. other than that it's seems pretty fun.

what is in the locked chest that tells you to go to fable2.com? dlc?

I don't know but I thought that was lame.

Did you get the LE? it comes with a code to enter on the XBLA which unlocks a bunch of Halo stuff.  You get the laser sword, armor set like Master Chiefs, and the actual title of Master Chief.

There's a web movie you can watch, and at the end you pick a crown and it gives you goodies. The prizes are useless, the Pub Game prizes are better.

[TVC15]

So what was the punishment if you cheated at pub games?

after they cut out all the goodies and my amazon preorder at $66.99 didn't look like a deal anymore? hell no.

So what was the punishment if you cheated at pub games?

evil points.

game is awesome so far. i thought you guys were joking about condoms being in the game lol

I don't know but I thought that was lame. 

it is lame. making people wonder why they can't open the chest and having to go online to find out what could be in it is pretty shitty.

[cool breeze]

I didn't get any evil points for pub games cheat.  I think it is only if you have a ton of money and I only had about 300 thousand.  I invested most in shops and get about 4,000 every minute or so.

[archie4208]

Stupid question.  Is anyone elses 360 much louder with the Fable 2 disc?  It sounds like a jet engine taking off when playing Fable 2.  I thought my 360's disc drive was going but I put in my Rock Band 2 disc and it sounded fine.

[Mupepe]

Not a stupid question archie.  My normally quiet falcon elite sounds obnoxiously loud with fable 2.  I thought something was wrong with my 360 when it was going

[cool breeze]

Same here.  The game running choppy didn't help ease my worries either.

I really wish that the new 360 dash was out so I could install this for both noise and load time reduction.

[Jansen]

where in the hell is an inn?

and yeah, this game makes the drive go bonkers.

[TVC15]

Fable 2 is basically like what you'd get if Nintnedo tried to make an actually ambitious Zelda game.  GOTY.

[Mupepe]

In bowerstone you can sleep above the pub I think.

I just bought my first house and got married.  Decided not to do children yet.  I spent soooooooooooooooo much time on that stupid blacksmith mini game so I could buy a damn house for the goddamn barmaid.

I just banged her and now people find me more attractive.

But now, where the fuck is the bookstore?  I can't find it for the life of me.  I even searched in Old Bowerstone but it's such a mess and the map sucks.

[Jansen]

wow you spent that much time blacksmithing?

i got to level 4 and around 10,000 gold then quit

[Mupepe]

I got 20k from the blacksmith mini game

I wanted to commit suicide.  after a while i couldn't even get past like 3 chains because i was so numbed out I didn't really give a fuck when i pressed the button

[Don Flamenco]

yeah my 360 sounds like its eating the disc.  I thought it was because my system is sitting upright.   Reminds me of Gears 1...that's another oddly loud as shit game.   

November 19th

and chopping wood and the blacksmith are oddly addictive.

[cool breeze]

I wish I could give you guys some cash through co-op.  I'm ballin' with my 5k+ every minute.

And I made my guy too buff without thinking about his height, so now he looks like a beefy midget and I need to work him up to be tall now.

[AdmiralViscen]

I'm real close to 5 starring the blacksmith.

If you don't get corruption for 300k I'm gonna import my pub games, I think I had like 180k.

[archie4208]

I'm not feeling this game.  I liked Fable 1 but this just feels kinda ehh.  I keep on wanting to play the Witcher instead of this.  :/

[Jansen]

FUCK FUCK FUCK

i got a DRE during an autosave and now i have to start all over.

what fucking prick decided that one save was sufficient?

[Mupepe]

FUCKING BOWERSTONE BOOKSTORE WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU

[cool breeze]

It's right next to the clock tower.  If the pub is north, and the blacksmith is east, then the bookstore is west.

[pilonv1]

fuck im really trying to finish saints row 2 completely before i start this but all the positive talk is killing me

[TVC15]

I've killed two wives so far.  The first one I married, had unprotected sex, she had a kid, and then right after I force threw her and hacked her with my sword, and she fell right on top of our bed, completely dead.  Then child protective services came and took my baby away.

Second wife, I force threw her off the balcony of my house, and she landed right in the middle of the clock tower square.  I had to do community service for that one since like half the town saw her die.

GOTY, btw, GOTY! 

[cool breeze]

just like real life

[Don Flamenco]

That's an unfair comparison though, since the Witcher is better than everything. 

I'm digging the arcadey feel of this game, though some of the consolized bullshit pisses me off:

--would not need a vaseline filter on PC
--Leaving quests = reverting to your last save and losing everything? WOT
--Entering the pause menu for everything, having to leave after using an item.
--Automated potions/expressions
--shitty framerate.  granted some of the animations may still be choppy, but I'll always miss 60fps.

Only glitch I've run into was in brightwood.  kept hitting start to get to my menu and instead it kept saying "Game Paused." yay! 


That sounds like a lot but really, the game is awesome so far.   

I just sacrificed my wife + 3 aristocrat skanks at the temple of shadows for a whopping 300 temple points! yeah!

[BlueTsunami]

I tried to rent this game at Blockbuster. Wasn't there. God I hate Blockbuster.

and I just pushed Kranz Fafka's post into the former page

Post it again, mang!

did you jump on either of their wedding dresses?

How do I orgy?  Do you have to be married to fuck?

How do I orgy?  Do you have to be married to fuck?

I'm guessing you get two sleezy women (bar waitresses are easy targets) and ask both to come back to your house with you, then when you choose the bed it should orgy I guess.  I'm gonna try it tomorrow.  I still need to get married and I'm pretty sure I missed out on a big part of the game since I didn't get married. 

[Don Flamenco]

To get the "Owner Murdered" bonus on houses, do you have to kill them in the house?

[Mupepe]

 

I'm trying to play it fairly balanced for now.  I'm good to my wife.  I haven't stolen.  I do the assassination missions though.  And I will probably cheat on her at some point for shits and giggles.  But man, this game is so fucking fun and I don't accomplish anything.

[Jansen]

i fucking love this game but i should be able to turn autosave off and have more than one save slot per character.

anyways i'm past where i was before my save got corrupted.

How do I orgy?  Do you have to be married to fuck?

you don't have to be married to have sex. some girls will follow you home if asked and others won't.

[Kestastrophe]

Is it true that clothing/armor doesn't affect the damage you take?

[cool breeze]

i haven't found any armor yet, but so far the clothing doesn't affect anything.  It boosts random stats like attractiveness, aggression, poshness, and moral standings.

[maxy]

Is it true that clothing/armor doesn't affect the damage you take?

There is no armor in Fable 2,only toughness stat.

wats a Fable?

Should I rent Fable II, or buy Fable on xbox originals (never played), or San Andreas on originals?





Help me denizens of EB.

Fable 1 is an OK game, as long as you're not expecting too much. Very hack and slash, shallow plot, confined to small paths, and over in like 10 hours. From what everyone is saying about Fable 2, it sounds great though.

[Jansen]

why is there no mini map displayed on the hud? sooo dumb.

[Lucretius]

found a work around for the glitch I ran into early on.  Just finished a super marathon session with the game.  mostly side quests.

Favorite moment so far:
Having sex with my husband and immediately trying to get him to go for another round to which he replied, "Not again.  I'm still sore, sweetie!"

[AdmiralViscen]

I dunno what the deal is, but the furniture seller at Bowerstone Market never has shit anymore. She used to have 40+ items on sale, but now she has 1 - a stupid book. I tried selling her some of my old shitty furniture to kick start her profits or something, but the next day she was selling the same book and my shitty furniture. Then the next day she sold off my furniture and she's back to selling only a book. I have no idea what spurred this.

Any ideas? Should I kill her to get the shop to reboot, or are the wares unrelated to the owner?


fuck it's a glitch
http://community.lionhead.com/forums/thread/3153159.aspx

Stock up on furniture guys, someone there said that the other furniture store doesn't stock sinks and stoves. I've got a house I want to renovate but I can't

[Jansen]

cause you have the bread trail shit.

which isn't very helpful for navigating towns

[AdmiralViscen]

No answer on whether you can kill off every inhabitant of a town?

You could even do that in the first game, so I figure yes.

[cool breeze]

When do I start finding towns with non-ugly people? I want to get married and have kids already.  I'm a bit pissed that I probably missed out on a huge event, but hopefully it isn't as big as I'm thinking it was.

[Don Flamenco]

Add me to XBL:  mamesj

I can't play online (lag), but I like seeing where people are at in the game

Drewsy-- get the PC version Fable 1.  Has pretty low specs by now and the XBox version runs at about 15-20fps.

Only having ugly people to choose from, huh?

Sounds like your real life.

I do live in Philadelphia, a placed branded the 'ugliest city'.

I can send you my copy of Fable TLC, I bought it for like $5 at GameStop but it was too ugly for me so I DL'd the PC version instead

[Himu]

so this game is way better than the first? Sounds like a good sequel. It sounds like they've improved a lot.

[Tucah]

So much better than the first. I sorta liked the first, but I love the sequel.

[drew]

This looks like a gay Oblivion.

am I missing something?

[Smooth Groove]

So most of you love the social aspects but how's the combat?

[Tucah]

Combat's fun. I like the magic a lot, stuff like Force Push and Time Stop is really entertaining to fool around with. Swordplay is typical hack-slashy mash X stuff, but I love using everything (magic, sword, gun) I have in combat and messing around with combos.

It's also really, really easy and hard to die.

[drew]

Alright, take it to the Popey's on Secor, then stuff the game into a Whole Foods bag (Fresh Market will do) and toss it in the grass.  Guaranteed nobody will fuck with it! 

 :tbslol

[cool breeze]

Combat is decent enough, but at times it can get really annoying.  I'm not a fan of how you have to hold down the button to activate certain things.  Like, to manually aim your gun, you hold down the button, to shoot you quickly let go and press down again...It's like MGS2 from hell.

[Don Flamenco]

I like the combat, but find the social aspects tacky.  I mean, you do one gesture and the whole fucking town surrounds you and flips out.

but the combat is right in a lot of respects.  While it's easy, the enemies do attack, so it's not like some Dynasty Warriors shit.  When the enemies are stronger, like the guys brightwood tower, it feels great.  You have to actually block and roll a lot, hits do some damage.  I wish the game had a hard mode for combat--it's a lot of fun, but the fights are always too short.

[TVC15]

TVC, were you stalking me last night?

I've had that happen with like 3 different people, where you end up crossing each other's path repeatedly.

[TVC15]

Where can I see what my corruption score is?

[cool breeze]

stupid demon door! I need to find a rejection notice so this bitch i'm engaged with would leave.

[VALIS]

Where can I see what my corruption score is?

My dude basically looks like a decomposing zombie.
