Me playing Fable.

you've never played it....


Most of the time I dont mind it, but some times it can be annoying, I dont think the game is really about the story I think its about developing your character.

Ok here's one big complaint about Fable: it's only on XBox.



Perhaps they could try to combine elements of Fable and Morrowind and stuff? Cause that's what I loved about Morrowind, it was soooooooooooooo huge and diverse.... Plus the story was just perfect. You could read into every detail.

And how long have you been spying on me for? And yes, I have played it. My brothers room mate rented it...or bought it..i cant remember. All i know is i f-ing hate digging.

Digging takes up about 0.001% of the things that you have to do in the game...

Anyway, I agree with pretty much everything that has been said so far. Except for the story part, because in a game like fable, I don't really want to sit and pay attention to long and thorough cutscenes, I just wanna play. I thought the story served its purpose, and that's all I care about.

I was told by my friend, (Considering I only played it for a little while and really did nothing, except grew a hatred for the game to load while diging), that a game set in a "free" environment was basically just paths that you couldnt leave from. Like, Suikoden III or something, where you are trapped in an enclosed space, where it gives the feel of being free, but your not.

This game is the perverbial Iraq of the game world.

I would have liked a lot more focus on what the character could do and how he was presented, etc.

I would have liked to have tweaked his appearance (facial structure and such) beforehand. Make him look like me (if I was a sexy-man beast who wooed women into marriage before ever talking to them). I would have liked to have been able to design the template for what everything else would grow off of later.

More hairstyles. There wasn't a whole lot of diversity to the hairstyles in Fable. There were only a few that I think people would seriously use, and then that would be it.

The ability to stylize your own tatoos. That would be awesome (sticks the Triforce on his cheek).

Have aging mean something. All it means is Fable is a slightly different looking character. Slightly different. I would prefer Fable 2 to have set days, and the character ages with the days, rather than everytime you level up. There would be a number of days a year and every year you'd age one year. It'd be neat.

As you grow older, your physical abilities would lessen. That dragon (which would be included) you were whipping around at age 25 would flick you away at age 60. If you played long enough, you'd die of old age and be given a master list of statistics: what you accomplished.

Also, no more levelling up. Not like in Fable anyway. The whole behind the scenes thing sounded good.

Better magic system. I found it difficult to switch to a different set of three spells in the heat of battle, or I'd accidently set off the wrong spell. Needs to be smoother.

S'all I can think of...

Well, you can't expect every game to be perfect. Especially a game like Fable. With it's enourmous greatness there will be some flaws.

Only two things have angered me about it. One is that I still haven't played it. And the other is that I can't think of any games like this PS2. That angers me.

I'm assuming that Fable 2 will be released on the Next Gen consoles, they should allow for quite a bit more immersiveness and smaller loading times. I also pray to 5 different religious gods that it will be released for PC as well, they are losing a HUGE market but not releasing a PC copy. (I'll be forced to get an emulator --once a competent one comes out-- and play it)


From what i've seen the game looks great, just not amazing. By anystandards, if this game was just advertised in the last week, it would have gotten much better scores on all the boards, high expectations for a game can be a very dangerous thing, not unlike swallowing razorblades. I hate being pushed up to the point where i just can't wait to try out a game thats supposed to be the most kickass game ever, just to find out that its mediocre (to the MAX).
