Fable ll

I like this game.

 

I hate being the only one on my friend's list without it >_>

 

Then allow me to join you in the 'Fabless' club.

Truth is I've procrastinated getting it, possibly because my wallet has been diminishing lately.

 

Same with me. I've also been holding off because I have a number of games that have been waiting in the wings for me to finish, so Fable 2 is on hold right now.

 

Oh for ****'s sake. I just made a really long post but it disappeared, and I can't be assed to say it all again so here is a summary.

Combat - Simple, with depth, balanced, magic using is great.

Music - good, fits the mood

VA - Main cast are brilliant (Zoë Wanamaker, Ron Glass and ****ing Stephen Fry) other NPC's are pretty good, some real british stereotypes though.

Mini games - Job mini games, repeatitive after a while, just require you to press A at the right time. Easy way to gain cash.

Story - While not brilliant, better than the first game. Part half way through was really interesting (I'm just part the half way mark) lots of side quests, but they do repeat from time to time.

Customisation - Still can't fully customise, just like in the first one, can only change hair and facial stuff at a stylists. At least you can pick gender. Good and Evil works the same as past games, only some choices aren't quite as obvious.

Family - 2 wives (both divorced) after the second one left me, she randomly died (I didn't kill her, must of been a weird glitch or something) straight after and my 10 year old daughter (Elizabeth) was taken by child services. So yeah....visit them often or they leave you.

Other - golden trail thing is useful, but in game map could be better. Dog - Very useful, it really is your best friend, makes digging and finding treasure easier. And does occasionally hit fallen enemies.

Conclusion - Great game, better than the first one. Good action RPG. Like the first one, get it, didn't like the first one, this isn't going to change your mind.

 

Overal Darkandroid is right, I beat the game friday morning around 4. Difinately worth getting. I admit, it's not as good as Monelyux said, but after the same thing happened with Fable 2 most people expected that. Having a family is definately a hassel, if you care about keeping them that is. Does seem to have many annoying glitches sadly. Especially with the glowing trail.

 

Not bad. It's definitly better than the 1st one. I love the trailer for it.

 

I ****ing love the new Fable. I honestly think it's a big improvement from the first.

I was always worried that I wouldn't like the dog being in the game, but my opinion has totally been flipped. I love the new guns. The jobs are fun, kinda. I really like having a family, it's pretty cool. Especially having a son/daughter. I pretty much love everything about the game.

One thing I'm disappointed about, though, is the lack of clothes. There seems to be a lot less clothes/armor in this game compared to the last. Maybe I need to find new villages. I dunno. I'm pretty sure the only place I have left to go is Bloodstone. :\

Right now I'm trying to get the Red Dragon Pistol from the shooting range in Westcliff.

 

UNTRUE^
You can have tattoo's and the will veins(not to mention being fat, kinny, buff.....)
You also left the purity and corruption out of your post.

 

Not to mention, you can dye all of your clothing, and hair.

 

That too.
Also, I highly suggest that everyone get the Red Dragon..... It's so awesome i've gotten one for both of my games.

 

And the red dragon is...?

 

Dude, I've been trying so hard to get it. My last score was 169 at the range. I heard it's the fastest gun in the game?

The Red Dragon is one of the legendary weapons in Fable II, formerly owned by Reaver I believe.

 

There's no way I'm gunna get that pistol, I just figured out what you have to do to get it. 8{

 

So, have any of you beaten it yet? Which choice did you make? On my pure hero, I chose the sacrifice. On my evil hero, I'm going to choose wealth.

 

While that is true, it's still limited. There aren't that many types of clothing. And while your stats effect the way your character looks in the end, ultimately you will end up with a tall buff guy (who may be fat, depends if you eat all the pies)

I find it annoying that you have to buy dye to dye your hair, they should allow you to customise from the beginning, then be able to change it any times at jobs, using the way they currently do it.

And like I said, I was being brief, at some point I may write a full written review.

I've completed the game now and I feel that it ended when it began, you get the 3 heroes and then the ending and that's it. It would of been better if they expanded apone it, and had more than one fight with all 4 of you together. Also there was no real final boss.

Spoiler

You hold A, then when his power is gone, hit him and he falls off

kind of disappointing, I was expecting more.

But did I enjoy the game? Hell yeah, I'm playing it again now, this time only Evil. The Temple of Shadow is ****ing hilarious, it really shows the games great sense of humour, and that is what helps set it apart from most in it's genre.

 

I want to play it. Sadly, I don't have the system.

 

No longer a member of the 'Fableless' club since Friday. Great fun, loved every minute of the main quest and am still playing it. Only thing it needs is a final boss and a conclusion.

Spoiler

I want to know what happens to Rose after you choose the family choice. Since in her note she hints to being tkaen by Scythe. As wel las why Theresa wants the Spire. The latter can lead to a new game, but the first requires your current charcter, something Fable is not known for.

Answers/theories for the above would be lovely

 

Yeah, it was actually owned by the best shot in Albion, Wicker. Wicker challenged Reaver to a duel. but Reaver's response was to dome check him.
It does only 41 damage but it is so fast it's almost automatic. Kinda like COD4's Deagle.


Anyways.....
I liked the story, alot. It's not like any ending i've experienced in a video game which for me is awesome.

 

I keep getting at least in the 160 point range for the range. Goddamn.

I actually like the story a lot, too. Personally, I loved the ending. Especially when

Spoiler

You were a kid again, living in the 'perfect world'. Then you walked through the path, watching the path get more gorey to find the music box. It showed you what/who you've been, then you finish off Lucien for good.

I don't know why, but it made me feel a little emotional.
