Why the hell do we overlook this game? It's fucking amazing

Why the hell do we overlook this game? It's fucking amazing.

It was nowhere near what Peter Molyneux always promised, but damn if it didn't come at least a little close, and it was an improvement
you could join an assassin guild, there was a ton more clothing, you could gain weight, lose weight, there was a morality and purity/corruption meter so you could further define your character, which was also defined by how high you taxed your tenants on properties you could own as well as sell, you could decorate your houses with your own furniture, there was great gambling games, you could aim for specific body parts with ranged weapons, you could dye your hair, dye your clothes, have plate armor (which was available in Knothole Island) there was a ton of weapons plus uniques, you could have statues of yourself around Albion, and your choices permanently impacted much of the game world. Even the food you ate affected your body. You could get jobs and level your skills in them. You could marry multiple spouses, have orgies, have kids, there was a lot more titles, and you could even become "King" by buying Bowerstone Castle. Plus there was an actual Arena you could constantly repeat for tons of Gold.

You could turn Oakfield into either a bustling tiny village with a huge Cathedral of Light on the hill after doing the quests to fight back the Cult of Shadow, or work for the Cult of Shadow and turn Oakfield into a harvesting place for sacrifices (Which even had a funny minigame where you sacrificed villagers to spin a Wheel of Fortune for "Darkness Points" choosing the method which they died, which rewarded you eventually with a badass darkness sword) and it turned Oakfield into a Ghost town. Bowerstone Old Town would become either a den of depravity where you could take Assassin Quests and murder with impunity, or a high-class residential quarter depending on who you helped in the game's prologue.

i liked how weapons changed according to what enemies you slew with them
but the magic system was so painfully garbage that even thinking about playing fable 2 again hurts

no pc release

I loved property management really. Most fun shit I played at the time. If this had a pc release I would buy it immediately no doubt.

Casual bump because haven't seen a Fable discussion forever. But damn nigga work on your formatting. That middle paragraph hurt my brain

>it shows up during Steam sales like you can buy it when you can't
>literally taunting us

360 exclusive so nobody talks about it
i had a little bit of fun with it but it was still pretty shit

did fable 3 have multiplayer like this did?

The game just gets going, and it ends.
Plus if you don't revive the dog at the end, your fucked post-game

Not a bad game though

In the dlc that choice is made meaningless.

I never played the DLC, was it any good?

I think I got lucky and my waifu had a second kid after I left for the 12 year jail segment or whatever.

I do remember doing the fuck so I didn't get cucked. It took me by surprise because I got back and she says meet your son.

I would remember it more fondly if it had an actual final boss.
Jack of Blades wasn't that fun to fight, but it was SOMETHING.

Its been forever. You could get some doggo skins and I think knothole island was alright. I forgot what see the future had.

Do people still wanna fuck if you're evil?

I want to replay but be more evil and have many families and contaminate the world with my lineage.

well if your corruption goes super low, and you do alot of things that make you scary, people will likely do an annoying scream when you walk into town. so you may have to spend a bit longer trying to trick people into believing you're worth sexing up. also stds.

Stds would happen even when I fucked my wife it didn't matter you got them regardless.

...

Was the first game I played where there was a straight line pointing you to your objectives. Fuck that golden trail nonsense

Also, sawse b0ss
Id no.?

Remember being disappointed it didn't have as good armour design as Fable: TLC (like Scythe's armour, badass)
Enjoyed the game a lot as a whole but one big thing ruined it.


Oh my fucking christ in heaven the FPS slowdowns. If your gamesave was greater than x hours the FPS just tanked in Bowerstone Market.

Whats the code my man?

I only did local co-op, so you ended up being P1's sidekick, but could kill their NPCs if you so wished. Apparently online meant they needed the exact same DLC as you or you'd be turfed out, even the free shit.

If your wife was one of the prostitutes in Bloodstone then of course she would

I liked that idea, I found it funny, if the stupid rock thing before was better it would have gotten less hate though.

Brehs...

the one thing that bothered me is the strange looking character, big feet and heads etc. it's stupid

She looks delicious. Who?

It was okay, ran through the game once like I would any AAA title.

Fable 2 is flawed as fuck but goddamn do I love it.

It just has so much that almost no other game has, it's probably my favorite dress-up game. All dem hairstyles, mustaches and beards being combo'd, dying clothes, having your coat open or closed.

The choice to make clothing not have stats was amazing, it might not have fit a boilerplate RPG, but it fit Fable. I want to get another 360 just so I can play this and Ninja Gaiden 2.

love fuckpigs

I liked the "boor Zwahh " clothing set

Fable 3 had a much more complete multiplayer. Too bad the game as a whole was crap.

>tfw I bought this fucking thing.

I'm glad you apologized for Fable 3 Pete, but I still haven't got my money back.

I sure hope that guild seal allows you to teleport. The cards look nice enough.

the madman

Fuckin found it

The coin actually has a nice weight to it and feels solid.

Haven't actually opened the cards though.

I WANT A FUCKING PC RELEASE GODDAMMIT LIONHEAD WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SHUT DOWN

Any chance of a PC release/port with the XBONE/windows retro thing?

I really hope so. Out of the Fable games, despite popular opinion, I enjoyed 2 the most.

My biggest complaint was how the co-op player was just a prefab with their stats, if player 2 could've been their own character that would've been great.

Other than that, I felt like I should've been like 2/3 of the way done with the game by the time I got to Reaver, then it was just like "lol we killed your dog and its the end." Other than that it was solid.

You could be your own hero in Fable 3.

>Reaver
I never got the appeal to him, is there anything at all likable about him?

Holy fuck.

Not really, he was just a greedy, self absorbed cunt.

The lore is pretty cool.
I went on the wiki the other day to look at it.
Did you know Scythe is thought to be thr most powerful person ever? William Black?
Also that there was a Queen of Blades.
Cool shit.
I also learned how Reaver was the reason Oakvale is a fucking hell, and all destroyed and swampy.

Knothole Island had an armor set that changed based on your alignment which was pretty cool. It also had an item you could use to take augments out of weapons so you could reuse them.

See The Future was ok. It had several different dog potions if you care and the different world you could go to were decent enough.

The appeal is that he doesn't hide the fact that he's 100% asshole. I can't hate a guy who's self-aware.

>yfw

Okay let me explain why I personally don't like it.
Not because it's a bad game but I idolize the first game and this was such a let down for me.
1.They took away most of the lore of the first game, what excited me most in playing part 2 would see all the references from the first game but the only reference you get really is Bowerstone evolving and Lady grey returning. No more Avo vs Skorm, No more Oakvale, No more Heros guild, no Knothole Glade, no reference from any Hero or Villians. It's like the first game didn't even happen other then shitty little easter eggs like a potion store called "you health is low"
2. Everything in general is a lackluser, the Colosseum from the first game was epic but the Crucible was so easy and lackluster, besides Bowerstone every other city is completely forgettable, Every character introduced seems so bland and uninteresting.
3. The music Fable OSTyoutube.com/watch?v=bgDXgpQU2Xc&list=PLulhVI8R3F7bIXIFazwIxWuB1X10oA1ha&index=6 so magical and rich
Fable 2 youtube.com/watch?v=k-nBQxvtfnk&list=PL6F8CC928BC127535&index=2 Some of the tunes are okay but I really preferred the soundtrack of the first game.
4.They took away brawling, Fuck I loved getting drunk and beating my wife then get into the local brawl competition and then do some quests and boast to just to use my fists.
5.No boasts, so literally the ridiculously easy game can't possibly get and harder or any real challenge.
6.YOU CAN'T DIE Dying gives you scars...In the original you get scars from getting hit which makes you look badass at the end of the game. I had to "die" in fable 2 on purpose just to make my hero look like less of a pussy.
7.Magic is just Fireball but different flavors from forces push to knives to wind power. God the magic was amazing in the first game! You literally make your character with magic from a berserking charging warrior to a quick dashing rouge.
>cont

>YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
>wait no , you can't do anything enjoy droping the game not even 5 minutes in , thanks for your money!

>i liked how weapons changed according to what enemies you slew with them

That was the third game

Anyway, OP I agree with you, it is a game I continue to return to. It's just so much fun to me, the DLC's are also really great. Knothole Island in particular, I'll always have fond memories of.

youtube.com/watch?v=fvLhuWSmY3g&list=PL6F8CC928BC127535&index=8

Dammit. Now I gotta get my 360 down from my closet and pick it back up again.

it's funny that if it came out now, it would lose 80% of its sales to refunds and be taken to court for false advertising. gaming is so shit

I genuinely enjoyed the entire series. I love the atmosphere.

Massive amounts of nostalgia blindness for the first game.

It's far, far and away the best Fable game.

If it was more difficult, or difficult at all, it would have been a masterpiece.

>&list=PLulhVI8R3F7bIXIFazwIxWuB1X10oA1ha&index=6
youre fucking retarded

8.GUNS how does holding a bow/xbow for twenty and unleashing it on an enemy feel so much more devastating and lethal then shooting a a single bandit hundreds of times with a pea shooter. Literally you shoot eight times faster with a flintlock rifle then with a bow.
9.THAT FUCKING DOG THAT DID NOTHING. He barks..sometimes people kick it and that's it. I think it can kill beetles sometimes idk. It literally runs around in circles the whole fight.
10. The story...um what story?
11.Final boss battle, Massive dragon vs err idk nothing but shitty little speech
12,The morality compass sucked as well. On the first game your choice is to throw away the sword of Aeons the strongest weapon in the game or kill your sister. In fable 2 you get the choice of everyone resurrecting except your sister, getting your dog back or getting 50000 bucks. WHY TAKE THE MONEY?
13.Not having the option of killing every character in the game. The first game every character you meet is killable one way or another from Wisper to the Guildmaster. FUCK I wanted to kill that Revaer guy but nooo you just after he fucked Oakvale and forces you to lose your youth you simply leave him alone to go his own way, Fuck that guy.
There's probably other things that pissed me off but I can't think of them now.
Anyways sorry for the typos I'm really drunk
