Fable 2

[Semitry]

It's out now, newegg has been shipping it and lots of other stores have started selling early. Surprised there wasn't a thread already.

Off-topic, but I wish the mods would move the directly video-gaming threads that are not JRPG topics from the RPG section over to the general VG section.

[Kyo]

Yah we've had an on going fable topic in the rpg section before we got the gaming subforum.

Page 1 is mostly pub game stalk, the later pages have lots of good info.

Whether good or evil, hated or loved, you ultimately want to use expressions to manipulate the three ratings used to judge you. If you want to get married, you need to find someone compatible with you sexually. There are straight, gay, and bisexual characters. You'll know someone has the potential to marry as a ring appears near the end of the hate/love meter. Get them to like you enough to push the meter past the ring and you can marry. Just be sure that you offer a ring worthy of your potential spouse. Go cheap on a high society woman and she'll be offended and refuse.

So why get married? Some folks enjoy being nagged in both real life and the virtual realm. Marriage in Fable II requires you to maintain a proper household allowance for your spouse and to appease their needs. Some people are fine with a hero being gone for three months at a time. Others want attention every day. They will also want sex -- sometimes often. So, in that regard, Fable II is nothing like real marriage.

When screwing either your spouse or a whore, you can choose to use protection or live free. Be careful, though, as unprotected sex leads to STDs and children. If you're a female hero and you get knocked up, you won't be able to go out adventuring while pregnant. Instead, you wake up to find the baby already born and in the crib. You can name the little one and watch them grow. When you come back from long adventures, your little one will cheer you and say sweet things to melt your heart. Just be sure to visit often or your spouse will get fed up and divorce you, taking the child with them and disappearing from Albion.

Though the expression system is fairly simple, there are some fun things you can do if you experiment. Like having an orgy. We'll leave that to you to figure out.

made me LOL way too hard at work reading that preview

Anyone who got an early copy had a go yet? Wodnering how much like the first it plays.

All I remember is getting bored 1/2 way through and slaughtering villiage after villiage on a second playthrough.

Reminds me of every GTA game.

"Wow, nice graphics. Quest. Quest. Bored. Ok, time to kill people."

I used to slaughter everyone, then buy their houses, and then rent it back to them later.

The fun was dodging the guards when I went to pick up my profits :3

[Kyo]

Well just 2 more days till this officaly releases my gamestop is doing a midnight launch, cant wait to pick this up.

[Elvis]

ditto, will be fun to play this online. sorta like FF, minus the fail!

[Kaslo]

I HAVE to goto the midnight release because I didn't know there was a limited edition when I reserved mine, so I gotta go and hope someone downgrades

[Kyo]

I wont say this is always the case, but more than likely you'll have to wait 48 hours to see if anyone doenst pick up their LE, but is a possibility someone will downgrade. But the chances of having extra LE's is next to none.

[Kiarax]

I took too long to order it so the sites I usually get stuff off aren't selling the limited edition anymore. Might have to drive into town and see if I can pick up a French copy and hope it has English included. >:

[AlexRuzhyo]

Amazon.com has the Standard version of the game with free shipping. There's also a $10 gift card included if you pre-order it before the 21st. The free shipping will take 5-9 days, though.

They're having a sale on a bunch of Xbox 360 accessories aswell, most of it qualifies for the free shipping if it's above $25 so you could save a lot of money with the sale + the gift card. An example is a 12 Month XBL Gold for $40 with a free month included. (Yay, $30 year membership.)

[Boyiee]

I can't decide if I want to pick this up or not. WoW with COD and GOW coming out soon, might just Gamefly it, not sure....

Is it amazing or what lol? damnit.

If your a fan of RPG's this imo is a must buy, theres no fanboyism or what have you in my opinon, the game sells itself. If you gamefly it, look forward to having it for a couple months lol. I think any game this calibur that has 200+ hours of gameplay(dependant on the player), it'll have DLC, on line co-p adds alot to it as well.

[izembo]

dunno about that, i'm expecting to get like 20 hours max personally out of it, maybe more if i actually have time for side quests. just too many games coming out and not enough time to devote to all of them

[Krandor]

It seems sort of fishy that a game this hyped is 2 days away from release and has exactly 1 review out for it (which is from a wholely unreliable source that could simply be hyping up a piece of shit to help it sell more).

I only intend on playing this game if it ends up being really really good. The first one was such an utter piece of crap I have trouble supporting anything that comes out of it.

[gandorf]

With this game will you be able to go on and offline as you please? And will it be like you and a few friends or only one other person?

[Alina]

Just you and one other person, and people can join in your game, or vice versa, at any time, as long as you are at a "co-op orb".

[Kyo]

Yeah you can pop in and out as you please, and its 2 person co-op, meaning you and your friend. Alina in before me ;/

Also Krandor, all the major reviewing sites have the copies their just waiting to have more time with it, the gamespot guys didnt have the finished copy till this past tuesday, I listen to their pod cast weekly they said the review should be up monday and the two guys playing it said it was excellent so we'll see what happens. Personaly can care less Im excited about the game.
