Fully Pre-Ordered for more than a year. Yeah, it'll be fun.

So Fox, are you going to buy it tomorrow or later? When you do buy it, can I come over and watch you play it? Please.

Err... Actually I'm pretty sure it ships tomorrow. It's out on the 15'th.

At least that's how it's listed in the Gamestop computers (I work there).

Sweet. Sorry for the confusion. I'm betting most major retailers (Walmart) won't have it until the 15'th and then most of the game oriented businesses (EB Games, Gamestop & Co.) will be getting it tomorrow.

I never warmed up to Fable but it sounds good.

Looks like I'll have to wait until I get back to the states before I get this one is my hands. I know that I won't be seeing around here for a while.

I'm getting mine this Friday. Hopefully I'll have sometime to play it on Sunday.

It looks like I'll be getting my copy on Thursday. :D Horay!!!

Acebot44 09-14-2004 11:48 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
Picked mine up after school thanks to a spontaneous ride from my brother. Popped the game in and played for two hours (just the tutuorial) and forgot to save! So I turned the xbox off and did my HW then came back to see that my game was back at 1 hour. Played for about 6 hours straight after that :D

It's a great game and would be my all time favorite game if I hadnt known of what it could have been. I can't help but nit pick and think to myself "Now why isnt that like that, it wouldve been better if that that that". I've barely done anything really so it's only getting better.

Professor S 09-15-2004 12:27 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
I played this after work until 4:30 in the morning morning. I had a lot of worries when I first started playing, but as I discovered more and more to do, my worries quickly became pretty groundless. I'll type up my impressions later on this week.

Crono 09-15-2004 03:18 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
Just got back from picking up my copy.. opening it now... and gonna play it. I'll post impressions later.

Ginkasa 09-15-2004 04:58 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
I got mine yesterday, but I haven't had enough time to play it for more than 45 minutes or so at a time. What I have seen, though, has been pretty good. I've had fun.

I'll maybe post more when I get farther (unless someone posts something that says what I would say anyway, denying my extra post the right to exist).

DarkMaster 09-15-2004 05:26 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
Just played nearly 2 hours of the game.

I like it, I like it a lot. I'm not sure exactly what I could say besides that, you all know the basics of the game, can't comment on anything much more than that until I get farther.

But yeah, I love it so far.

I second that.

I'm a good chunk in, and I have to say this game is awesome. The only real complaint I have against is....marriage. What is the bloody point to it? I spent a good while flirting and flexing and posing for this brown haired girl and spent far more money than I would like on gifts. Finally, she started saying things like, "A wedding ring would look good on my finger." (subtle), so I went and spent a fortune on a wedding ring. I marry her and we move into a house I had bought (I had actually planned on renting it out, but then realized I'd to live in something besides the bar if I were married). I stand around. She talks about how happy she is and how cool I am. Several times.

That has been my entire marriage experience. I did get a dowry of 250 (that's two-hundred fifty....period...s'all), but that doesn't even dent the money I spent on her rather than good armor or weapons in my quest to rid the world of evil.

She's not even all that pretty.

I'm staying single when I get older...

Just KILL her. That's probably what I'll do when I get the game (hopefully soon)...I'm a sicky though.

I finished my first run through the game about an Hour ago. Finished all good (Halo and all) at the age of 55. I even had magic tats from my constant use of Force Push and Lightning. I was a strong guy though, Got up to 6 in Physique and 5 in Speed. Here's a pic of my guy. I had to take it with my camera phone cus the video camera left that green bar in the middle.

Well I played about a total of 15 hours the first time through and I'm sure I missed A LOT. I only did about 5 sub quests and didnt buy any houses or even get all the tattoes/haircuts/keys/armor types. I still need to find the legendary weapons too. I'm gonna go through good again but this time I'll steal a bunch and wont use as much magic so I wont turn out grey and white.

Canyarion 09-16-2004 03:08 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
How do you get older? In real-time or after certain actions?
I mean, can you play longer than 15 hours?

Acebot44 09-16-2004 03:21 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
Oh yeah. You can play as long as you want, but after you finish the main quest, no more quests will be given out at the guild, you'll have to find them on paths and in towns. You can still get married, buy houses, all that good stuff too. This game is all about the gameplay and not that much on story, so you'll play it as long as you like because you can find things to do on your own. Hell, walk around a listen to the different reactions you get from people after farting on them. Get people drunk, get yourself drunk, kick chickens, become champions in the bar games.

You age in three ways. 1. When you level up your skills you age about .7 years I believe. 2. When you finish a major point in the story, you'll go onto the next chapter and age a couple years. 3. When you use the will(magic), you'll gradually age everytime you use it, in real time, but it's so small you wont notice it that much till you look at your character after a while.

Fable is here... I am overcome with joy...

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
Contrary to various reviews, this game isn't exactly easy. Especially the sub quests, having a lot of health potions doesn't mean jack all, don't know what IGN was talking about.

I got my Fable!
and with $20 off, I got my mom to use some of her reward points.

Are you serious? There's been only one subquest where I had to actually use a ressurection vial or two. The rest were easy so long as I had a few health potions.

Oh, my wife is giving me weapons. Too bad they're obsidian (which are, I guess, inherently evil) and I'm the overly sweet and good guy.

They make me good monies though.

I only died in the arena during the bandit portion. But luckily, I had about 12 reserection whatevers so I made it out of there...barely, and bought all the potions the vender had.

The Hobbe's Cave quest, where you save the old woman's kid, can be challenging. I never said it was hard, just not tremendously easy as so many reviewers have made it out to be. I was under the impression that it would be Wind Waker easy.

Professor S 09-17-2004 12:49 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
I'm on the quest right now where youi have to kieep the bandit prisoner from escaping, and its giving me fits. Not only are the bandits no joke, but the damn prisoner keeps getting in the way and I end up killing him with one errant shot!

Also, I made sure that I increased the difficulty level for myself by making sure I am a meleee warrior only. All my experience goes into the Strength category and a little into "speed", This seems to make many of the enemies and quests much moere challenging, especially those giggling little fairies that fly all over the place summoning creatures and shooting crap at you.

Next time through I'm going to do it as a straight up sorceror.

I'm at that part, too. I've only tried it once (killed the prisoner).

That's the quest where I had to use a couple of ressurection phials ;)

I'm at the arena quest, not sure how far I am in the game story-wise. My character is 59 years old now, got 12 hours clocked in the game so far, 90% of my time is spent doing stuff that I just feel like doing. I barely do any main quests at all, and I'm not the least bit bored.

Ginkasa 09-17-2004 07:13 PM

Re: Fable Released Tomorrow!!!!
 
I have some questions that might extend into spoiler territory.

So...

You've been warned...

Anyway...

There's a subquest to get Lady Grey to marry your character. I'm at this part. However, I do not wish to marry Lady Grey for two reasons:

1) I'm already married and I don't need to two [bad word] fawning over me and giving me crap presents (and one of them yelling at me for cheating)
2) Lady Grey killed her sister. I don't dig murderous chicks (I will next time, though ;))

Now, this would mean I probably shouldn't do the quest and marry Lady Grey. However, I have been given reason to believe that this quest may or may not end in me exposing Lady Grey for the evil evil woman that she is and gaining more fame and renown and goodness, etc. But I'm not sure and I don't want to end up with divorce and then marriage so...

Has anyone done this quest and know whether I can choose to expose or marry Lady Grey? And if I can expose her, can you tell me how to get the two guys in the Oakvale Memorial Garden to stop whispering behind my back and tell me where the friggin' necklace is?

I heard that you just need to sneak around them and listen to their conversation. They will let it out eventually between themselves.

Just thought I'd say this... Fable has now entered my top 10 list of favourite games. I love this game. I knew very little about the game before I bought it and it has blown me away.
