Surprised there isn't already a thread for this. Did anyone else get it? I love it so far. I'm not very far, still have to do the Crucible, but I'm having a blast. Theres so much more to do. I like that Will isn't such a pain in the ass to use anymore either. Although only using one spell at a time is a little annoying. I also like that if you go the Strength route, you don't just get more and more jacked with each level, you actually earn new moves and such.
I don't have it yet but I have heard good things from a good friend who has it. To be honest if they only changed the story and missions and gave a few more hairstyles I'd love the game. I absolutely loved the first one. Since they most likely greatly improved upon the first I'm convinced I'll love the second as well.
i got it but haven't had the time to play a lot. the game is pretty fun so far, i just hate the animation. walking around is very jerky. using spells is fucking awesome as well.
It's amazing
Thinking of buying a 360 for this and maybe gears of war 2. Not sure though as I've already got a PS3. I liked Fable 1 but I can't say there are too many 360 exclusives that I'd want that would make the £250 I'd be spending worthwhile.
Lol, the old man in the Wraithmarsh is named Old Gregg...
I miss armor. :(
My boyfriend's little brother got this and as soon as he's beaten it a few times, I'll be borrowing it. I've watched him play some, and I think it's neat that you can play a female now (I haven't seen it, since Robert obviously doesn't do mangina at such an early age). But I don't understand why the fuck they removed Willpower.
I was hoping someone who's been playing could explain it to me, since I've only glanced at the game being played a few times when there was actual combat going on. Is there just no more mana? You can cast whatever you want without consequence? Or am I not seeing something, another way to build up energy or whatever? It just seems kind of insane to me, like playing a hacked version. I know I'll figure it out when I start playing, but that won't be for a few weeks at least.
Mana (willpower) is gone, kind of. Instead of relying on mana to cast x amount of spells, you charge your spells up. So if you just do a quick cast, your spell will be weak. The longer you charge it, the more powerful your spell is.
Thanks for the clarification. Here's hoping that kid tweaks out and gets tired of the game soon. :ppslash:
Also (I haven't tried it yet), I think you can cast multiple spells at the same time. Because when you're charging, the bar reaches these dots with your spell in them, and I believe you can put other spells in those dots instead of just the more powerful version of the first spell. So you can use some like epic fireball/lightning combo or something. Not 100% sure on this though. I don't use Will enough.
Here's a tip. Make him buy the fairfax castle and do the mission it entails. When he gets into the final chamber, make him save the game and drink the potion. He will never want to play it again. Trust me.Quote:

Sounds like a fun game.
Bhaahahahaha wow sounds like they've added a lot more to the game then, marriage, 10 year long quests. Random events like that.Quote:

And if it says it on a loading screen as well...well I mean.
Is this game worth getting for PC by the way.
I don't think they're actually releasing this one on PC. Also, when I originally posted that, I had been playing the game for, ohh, 2 days? And I recently saw the little fact he was talking about, and it still doesn't say whether its her or not anyway, it just says there was a Theresa that lived 500 years ago that was captured by bandits. But god forbid captain castle doesn't look e-tough and is wrong. I mean why the fuck would they tell you in a randomized loading screen anyways if it was part of the fucking game.Quote:

I got it ...oh thirty seconds into the game? It isn't the da vinci code fuck headQuote:

Hey is this eventually coming out for the PC? I am too lazy to google it.
srsinternets already said he doesn't think it will be out for PC.
Read the thread next time.
You're a fucking idiot who needs to shoot himself in the head ASAPQuote:

Why should the game lag scrolling through my items in my Inv? seriously The entire engine sucks. I have had my sword out in water many times. I get stuck on nothing ALL the time.
2. When you get to a town or whatever you have to wait another 10-15 seconds before everything loads and really becomes "active"
3. Why does my character get stuck on walls and crap. LAME
4. The world is NOT open ended at all. you dont even travel between towns. The areas that are pathed "open" areas are just guided paths with a few small guided paths that will lead to a chest or key. totally lame.
None of the decisions actually matter. Every time I make one I dont struggle to decide what to do. The only exception is the one where you lose XP.
The Casting system is awful. Here is your fighting system... cast time warp to slow everyhting down. Cast shock or inferno level 5. everything dies except one monster that somehow didnt get hit right in the middle (poor hit detection) then you can hack and slash or shoot that one guy until he is dead. Then if you are smart you will have an augment in your weap to leech life and you never need potions.
THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR DIEING?!?!?! You fall over and stand right back up... lose a minimal amount of XP and continue battling. O sure you may get a scar on your face... but when can you ever really see your face up close anyway...
With all of that other crap I dont even need to touch on the fact that its short.
For such an "expansive" game where is the armor and clothing? There is hardly anything to pick from and armor is omitted completely.... WHY? Moving on to enemies... why are there so few types? Its sickening. Maybe they figured out that because the fighting system they made sucks unlike fable 1 and creative enemies are not needed since they can all be killed by what i stated above. What ever happened to positional gameplay? why not some heavily armored enemies? Or enemies that are immune to certain spells... or spells entirely...

I just rented this game and it is pretty fun I think. I didn't play the first one, and in a way this reminds me of Oblivion. The map kind of sucks and the whole thing seems more linear than it should be. However, the quests are fun.
Has anyone run into glitches in it though? Like, weird ones? Ones that make certain quests impossible to complete and cause your wife to disappear for no reason?
It was rife with glitches at launch but from what I understand they removed most of them.Quote:
