I had sexual intercorse with the reanimated corpse of Lady Grey. **** was so currencey.


Considering she was my main character's wife in Fable 1, wouldn't it be incest if the main character in Fable 2 is a descendent?

Not really. Hundreds of years had passed.

You're adventuring through the land and seeing wonderful people and fantastic creatures in a world unlike your own, you've purchased this game under the advertisement of Lionhead that you will see trees grow over the years and the land change with your very decision and that your choices will have an impact immediately.

You get married, you assist a town (or destroy it depending on morality) and such but there isn't many changes to the world. You're not worried though, all good things happend with time and you expect the world to change as it passes by. You keep questing and drop by from time to time, nothing is changing. Why? Was I not promised to see change over the years of playing (your character ages as you play)?

You walk around and see a few NPCs offering quests to assist them, you look at them and say "I'll come back later" and keep wandering through the main storyline. You're now told that you're going to infiltrate the evil bad guy's lair, hells yeah! Time to take the fight to him!



Wait.. what? Ten years? Just like that? Well.. okay..

You're walking back down to the street of the town you made your choice in earlier, this time it's either fully destroyed or fully alive depending on the choice. What the hell? Wasn't I supposed to be seeing the world change overtime, wasn't I supposed to see those trees that are now everywhere grow?

Well, maybe it's just a small de- What? What are those same NPCs doing there, offering me that same quest?! Weren't they bored sitting there for ten years? Didn't they think of doing it themselves? Well.. I'm not too cer-

OH MY GOD.

My wife left me for not interacting with her in a while, didn't she get the memo? I was going on an adventure to an evil bad guy's lair? Oh yeah, when I said good bye I didn't think I was going to be gone for ten years.

I'm fearful that Dragon Age 2 will take the same route as this, you'll be merrily along the way and then suddenly out of no where you'd be thrown into a fast foward a few years and you have no idea of what happened between those years and how it changed the world and such.


Fable II sounds absolutely haphazard and insane. Now I want to buy it. 


It pretty much is

Fable was fun and new. Fable 2 was a huge let down. Dragon Age: Origins was fun and new. Dragon Age 2 I'm not sure yet. But if they mess up this franchise and destroy it's rpg aspects then I will probably lose all faith in future RPGs. Final Fantasy 13 could hardly be considered an RPG in comparison to it's preprocessors. It had great story but in Square Enix went off and destroyed a bunch of RPG elements they are famous for, like open world exploration and items/equipment. RPG creators are slowly making their games with less and less RPG elements for the sake of shiny appearance and money.

Also damn Lionhead for including autosaves after every action



They just knew that many of us would drink that potion just to see what would happen

Damn you, Molyneux.


That tool wants to bring out emotion in video games?

He needs to learn from bioware, one of the rare games (aside from metal gear) to bring out emotion in me.

In origins, when you walk up to denerim and your army is cheering you? Almost brought tears to my eyes.

I wanted to trade it to my friend and accidently drank it infront of him.

He burst laughing while I wanted to murder people.

fable is a good game for what it is. i mean, its immensely fun. but it isnt in any way shape or form as deep or serious as rpgs like dragon age.

I found Fable, as a game, kind of meh. However, I loved it for its humour and its charm.

Fable is a game where if you describe it to a friend it sounds really awesome, then you play it again and realise "Oh yeah, this game sucks..."

Err... no, no fears on that score. Well, hopefully anyway. You'll be warned in advance if something is going to happen which will jump you to the next narrative time frame-- as most quests do not carry over if you don't finish them in the current one. The reasoning is a bit more natural than it sounds-- I can't really describe it better without going into plot details. But there you go.


Therefore no fable 2

um, like "WARNING: if you leave this village now you will jump 5 years into the future where it lies in ruins and everyone is massacred, finish your active quests first" ?

[/quote]

If this turns out to be true, I'm not going near DAII.

Original Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters= mostly perfect, if buggy (only bug that aggravated me was when my spouses liked to vanish from the world randomly and never appear again.) Fable 2= WTF? They call THIS a sequel to Fable?!?! I guess its fun enough, but when someone like me who usually can't beat level 3 of most games without begging her fiance, friends, or the internet for help can beat the whole game in a few days and think its too easy....Wow...Sad...Personally, I don't think Bioware will make that mistake. I am also hoping Fable 3 will be better.

Very subject appropriate funny review.

Heh...and about what I said about me being terrible at games..it is true...I only started playing them a few years ago...wasn't allowed to play as a kid.

As long as they don't pull such a poorly executed endgame on us as Fable II did, I doubt I will complain that DA2 is similar to it.

That being said, I will find something to complain about, 'tis our nature as BioWare fans.

Edit: Many thanks, sweet prince.

Fixed your typo. Now to my comment-

You mean like give us an endboss that we didn't even know was the endboss until after the game was over?

The chip of a chip of a giant rock?

Yeah, that was fail. I loved Fable II, but the end game was horrid. Hopefully that's fixed in Fable III, and I have faith in Bioware to not make such a mistake in DA2.

ME2, on the other hand.......yikes. That was fail also. Just not as much.

so this means there are several "points of no return" in the story, and that if i don't feel like doing a quest now, i have a limited time to do it, at least till the end of the "chapter", not good.

And also it will be a bit of inmersion breaking if we advance 2 years in the storyline and after those two years we still wear the same armor and have the exact amount of potions, like we froze in time.And also, if you strip us down of those items and replace them, maybe you take away some thing we really liked to wear-use as weapon.

I don't like this back and forth in the timeline
