All this talk of rifles. Pah!
Hammers my lad, nothing like flourish after cinematic flourish to systematically Annihilate the enemy. When that massive head connects with that tiny, fragile other head... brilliance.
But i do have a dilemma, i cannot find a master hammer. I am making do with the master axe, but am i correct in depressingly assuming such a godly weapon does not exist? The pure joys of sending multiple enemies flying with every sweep of its massively-reaching destruction is one of the greatest things about this game... say i can keep doing it!
Or legendary hammers? Decent ones?
*Sigh*
In terms of clothing i took the assassins coat with no hat. I get the scowling eyes and massive horns/tattoos/head stuff/magic viens with none of that dopey smile. Add in huge highwayman gloves and dye the lot black. Add gangreen as a secondary color and you get all of the surly power of darkness, with none of the broody cliche of the full-black suit. Trim the gloves in red for maximum impressiveness.

Hammerthyst is pretty decent, I think - Oakfield Demon Door, unlocked via marriage proposal in front of it. And no, as far as I know, just blowing it a kiss does not work - it pretty much directly asks for a proposal, but if expressions works, that is easier.
Although, to be frank, Daichi (Legendary Katana) owns anything, but you can only get that after you've completed the main storyline - in case you want it, Post-Spire, in a dungeon entered by jumping off a gap in the wall in Brightwood Tower.
For sheer Epic, Level 5 Shock is pretty damn impressive, especially when there's at least a dozen enemies being hit by it.
But, yeah, rifles are fairly poor, in my opinion - too slow on the reload, complete lack of style, and is no where near as badass as a turret pistol.

Lies! Lies I say! Upgrade your speed enough and they reload in moments, get sub targeting and they have ultimate style. Also, I hate the turret guns. Don't know why. Love the look, but the low damage+long reload makes them nearly useless as offensive weapons.Qayin post=9.74815.860590 said:
Depends what you are using it for, I suppose - I've found that turret weapons are much more effective at keeping enemies at bay; it's no use having a powerful rifle if Spire Guards are wailing on you.Bling Cat post=9.74815.860619 said:
Also, by the time you have full speed and sub-targeting, you're far, far into the game - so yes, I suppose at that point you could get a rifle...or you could get the legendary pistol from the shooting contest.
Actually, end-game I take a flintlock pistol usually. I say 'usually', I've only finished the game 3 times.
So, for your hollow men and bandits- turret weapons are very useful, but I guess later on you would want to switch to flintlock or a variety of rifle.
Although, if you pick rifle, you will look like a pansy compared to those of us who only need a pistol and our wangs.
I had sub targeting at The hero of Will quest. I just saved, saved, saved! Though I do currently use a master flintlock pistol. It's all I need, As it reloads fast enough to keep enemies at bay, while also having the damage output to kill in a few shots. Add this to sub targeting, and you get a killing machine who never gets his hands (Or his immaculate white suit) dirty.Qayin post=9.74815.860636 said:
I just need me a nice quick gun and I will be sorted. Pair it with time control and I will be untouchable this time around. Also
I just cant be good. Every time I get to the spire I want my xp. I will never give up my youth and if you get in my way I will fireball your ass.
I loved the ending. I spend that entire mundane farm part with my sister so annoying, I couldn't do anything without my dog. I missed my poor pooch. I didn't think twice about the other choices just chose the family instantly.
I'm actually surprised that people found the ending dissapointing.
This game was not supposed to be about Epic, it was not supposed to be about a massive climax with a magnificent boss fight - your main enemy was an old man, with little power other than resources and knowledge.
What the Molynator wanted you to feel was love - to feel genuine attachment, be it to your dog, your family, or the world itself. The experience was nothing to do with the ending; it was about the journey, your personal trip across Albion. If you rushed through the main quest, you will not enjoy it anywhere near as much if you took the time to immerse yourself in a world - to become involved in it.
I find myself unable to choose any ending other than Love - why? That dog; as many have said the moment where your dog throws himself in front of Lucien's gun is, for a video game, very emotional. I found my...four...families...and 6 children...fairly annoying, but I was genuinely attached to that dog, in the same way I'd feel attachment in a film, or a book.
Basically, if you felt the ending sucked, it says far more about the way you played the game than the game itself.
I personally am very much looking forward to Fable 3, 4, and 5. Providing they explain Theresa's actions and immortality, of course...hell, I'll love them anyways.

Apparently, either after getting so many, or a particular one, some STDs will very, very slowly drain your health.
I can't confirm this, however - for all my extramarital orgies, I have only managed to obtain at most three.

Nothing but one? No master? RAAAAAGEEEQayin post=9.74815.860590 said:
That is far from fair, very far indeed. Hammers are superior in almost every way. Reach, knockdown, damage, hitting-people-over-edges, appearance, flourishes, coolness, badassness.
*Sigh* No love for the meatheads of the world. I had Brute as my title.
Oh yeah, I loved it too, although Theresa's last words just made me think "Sequel..." the second they popped up.Qayin post=9.74815.860672 said:
I've never felt such an attachment to a world (except in books, but it beats out every film) as I do to Albion.
Still, my Game of the Year so far, and considering it's come out alongside LittleBigPlanet and Metal Gear Solid 4 that means it kicked ass.
One thing that pissed me off was that they kept hinting that Scythe was going to show up at one point or another, and that the immortal thing and Theresa?s past was going to get touched on, but nothing came of it. This shit had better get resolved in number 3.
Also, for those of you that want to beat the target min-game, I just used a steel flintlock pistol. I wouldn't suggest using a rifle, just because it takes up more of your view, and you are going to want speed over power anyways. The pistol you get from it is all sorts of kick-ass, only does about 40 or so damage but it has an augment that causes extra damage to occur, plus it has 6 shots and is faster then anything I've used before.
One more thing, has anyone gotten all 50 silver keys and unlocked the chest in castle Fairfax? I want to know what's in it!

I just like to say that I hate Chesty and don't want to be his super best friend.
<spoiler=spoiler apparently>also killing Lucian was sooo satasfing after a certain moment near the end, if only I could've beaten him to death with my bare hands.
Have I not looked properly or is there only one save slot?
EDIT: but isn't what's in the spoiler the whole point of the game?
so it's not really spoiling anything is it?

You should probably spoiler that.TheGhostOfSin post=9.74815.860827 said:
The bloody Thief killed him for me! Stole my kill! I always listen to the dialogue in a game, so I was sitting there listening to him plead, with me slowly pressing down on the trigger, when Thiefie Bastard pops up from his coma and shoots Lucien, and then makes fun of me for not doing it.
After that and my Dog, I get the feeling the designers of this game really hate me. In a good way.
The chest is in the Guild. The dungeon is in Bloodstone. I don't know where the other thing(s?) is (are?), though.McMesser post=9.74815.860535 said:
