Fable II and Magic use - Page 3

Iron Past · 10-14-2008, 10:33 AM

Aw, what the hell? I tried going into the "Tales of Albion" section on Lionhead's website, but it needs Silverlight, which of course I can't instal because I'm on a college campus computer. Is it all videos, or what? I thought they were written stories.

The second IGN video about ranged combat is up. The system looks similar to what GTA4 used.

I find it interesting that we can't do crotch shots in Fallout 3 but we can in Fable II.

My advice on Fable II: Watch what you eat

Oh, please please please let there be some nethack-like features where you can eat anything you kill and gain their attributes. More games need that feature!

Yes. You could do that in the 1st one too. There was even a daemon door that wanted you to be fat before it would open up.

The dude was not really fat, more just barrel chested in Fable 1. Fat in the same way you might call a Defensive Lineman fat. Not Holly Jolly, cut out a wall so that the half ton man can be on TLC fat.

I mean yeah, I ate alot at the door and bam. But never did my belly just hang over. Would have been nice if my belly hung over and I was slower and not as strong. I mean jack me up for getting fat.

MalReynolds · 10-14-2008, 06:30 PM

i should play some of the old Fable

Telefrog · 10-14-2008, 07:48 PM

Have any of you tried the Fable II Hero's Tale game? I won a book of vile expressions and pink dye for use in Fable II. Sweet.

The article about ranged combat for the video I posted earlier is up now.

Playing it again and picking a different crown gets you all of the items. The chicken suit is cool, as is the book of expressions. The good guy king, not so much. It's a doll and a Lionhead tatoo. Though I don't know what the doll does, maybe something sweet, like voodoo?

It also took EFFORT to become fat in Fable, kind of the other way around in the real world.

Squidbot · 10-15-2008, 01:32 AM

Want to say...so much.....GAH!

MalReynolds · 10-15-2008, 05:45 AM

Want fable 2 now

How much weight do you think you would gain swinging a heavy weapon around all day?

SPBTooL · 10-17-2008, 01:36 PM

For those, like me, that are worried that the game is going to be too easy. I offer you this taken from someone on the team xbox boards that got the game early.

I have to roll around get far back shoot the guys cast my magic move back in and rough up another guy but quickly roll out of the way before I get hit from the guy behind me.

Combat gets very intense and I actually found my self holding the controller with white knuckles.

When asked about difficulty settings.

Unlike Assassins Creed if you are surrounded and you have your back to them they will take advantage of it.

1 thing that is kind of a bummer is that you can not fight weaponless. I was looking forward to making a mystical monk.

Do I have to have a lack of grammar skills to get games early? Why is it all the lucky ones look like they type with their nose?
