Fable II, the official thread.

[Archemetis]

On another note, does anyone else find the perpetual expression on the male characters face infuriating? I'm addicted to the assassins coat because it covers that god-awful smile-thing.

The mle character's smile is better than the female character's twitching eyebrow. Just zoom in on her face and watch it go.

To be quite honest, i'm just fed up with ALL of my characters having eyes that point in any seperate direction they can find, all of my characters wear eye-patches, because i can't stand to look at characters with one eye looking out constantly to one side.

And i don't think it's only the eyebrows that twitch, have a closer look it's the entire face moving about...
And it's not just on the female hero, i've seen it happen on NPCs too.

But all that pales in comparison to the seething hatred i have towards the way the heroes fucking stand up...
WHY ARE THEY LEANING FORWARDS ALL THE TIME?!
That to me doesn't look like it happened on purpose...

Okay, I think I solved the mystery of the "Invisible Wife" bug. After scouring the town for the lady I gave up and decided to bang one of my devoted groupie girls in my house, while my son watched. Muhahahaw. After I got up from the bed, OH SH-. Lo and behold the missus came home finally. She didn't seem to know what I had done, but she's back nevertheless. So my advice to all those with missing spouses, a little infidelity is all it takes... maybe.

I must say, Fable 2 is one of the buggiest mainstream games I have played in recent memory.

While we're talking about banging strangers in your own home...

Has anyone figured out what "kinky" does? As far as I can tell it just means that the person doesn't play to their sexual orientation descriptor.

I also saw little pig icons over people's heads after I slept with a kinky lady, but I think that was just because I didn't sleep in my Animal Magnetism house.

Considering it's been eleven pages I highly doubt no-one else mentioned this.
But I only just realised that it's Ron Glass doing the voice of Garth.
I spent ages thinking "Man that guy has an awesome voice"
I only realised this morning why it sounded so familiar.

I liked reavers performance but was dissapointed that he sounded gay. Not that I have anything about that, but I though he was going to sound like a bad-ass pirate, not an ass pirate. (just to clarify, I have absolutley nothing against gay people.)

 

[jamesc]

Was anyone else impressed by

Spoiler: Hero of Will quest

The choices in the spire? They were clear cut, but the way you had to choose: Evil points and experience, or good points and loss of experience, realy impressed me. I felt it was very effective.

Yeah, I still feel guilty about

Spoiler: garth quest

Choosing to save my own ass. But I needed the experiance real bad...

To be fair, Reaver *was* an ass pirate.

I know, and I still liked his character and the effort that the voice actor put forth, but I was expecting a more jack sparrow-y person. Also,

In the castle fairfax quest, after I got a sex change, why can I still marry women?... (btw, I went from man--->woman)

Because the women might be bisexual? Just a thought.

No, it says straight on their stats. Only seems to work with women that loved me from before, though...

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.

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.

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.

ARRG, I knew that you got the ledgendary pistol from the shooting range, why did I stop when there was only 13 more points for me to get?

I know how you feel. I only found out yesterday while watching the "making of" video that Zoë Wanamaker [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0910738/] did the voice of Theresa. I will never look at her (Theresa) the same way again.

 

[mike1921]

Where can you find some nice turret pistols? I really only found one and can I just say FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK the rusty one.

My 360 just RROD while playing Fable II ugh... About 5 hours into it... Sooooo lame...

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

Master Flintrock=> Better then anything else. Twice the damage of a clockwork rifle with just a .9th of a second reload. Subtargeting the head always yeilds headshots and I could easily take down a banshee just by doing that. No zoom, She go boom.

But the clockwork can squeeze of a lot of shots fast, which is great for just spraying across an advancing hobbe horde to spread some pain.

That said, nothing beats a hammer and a bellow of hate.

Hammers. They Are The Fear Of God.

Really, cause I was sure with dodge and Daichi I could beat you 9 times out of 10...

Daichi: Not the fear of god, what god would fear even more if he could comprehend the awesome of that weapon.

It's a shame really. They could have tried making more weapons on the level of the Daichi. What is it, 92.0 damage with a Fast attack speed and 3 augments? ;s I'd have liked at least a cutlass to be on-par with it. I reckon they mucked up the whole Legendary weapon thing to begin with. Should've made em the strongest weapons in the game, all pretty much equal, and all hard to get.

94, I think.

Someone a page or two back asked what the differences between lighting and fire were, targeted fire has splash damage at high levels. (Maybe at low levels too, but not enough to make a difference) Lightning...Well, I can't really say because I don't use it much, but I'm pretty sure it's a little more powerful.
