Fable 2 OMFG

[Roachy]

It can't just be me that's excited about the second Fable coming out, can it?
I loved the original.

Go heeeeeere - http://www.lionhead.com/fable2/

"Set 500 years after the original, "Fable 2" will provide gamers with an epic story and innovative real-time gameplay, including a massive amount of freedom and choice to explore a vast collection of dungeons, catacombs and caves in the world of Albion"

Hoo-RAH! Coming out some time at the end of this year I think.

[woobi]

I read in X360 that you can get married, have children, and then kill your wife and children.

What happened to the days of Jump-man?

[DoNotFeed]

I dunno, guns might ruin it for me. Though I will buy it since the first one was great

[Roachy]

I read in X360 that you can get married, have children, and then kill your wife and children.

Well previously you could get married and kill your wife but bringing children into the equation? Genius.

[Ryanstorm]

This and GOW2 are the top 2 games i'm looking forward to this year, I love the original.
I admit that i'm not looking forward to the guns thing, I would have prefered for them to stick with bows, but I suppose it fits the background and how technology has advanced and everything.
All the screenshots and videos make it look very promising and I am most definitely getting it.

[Jay]

I read in X360 that you can get married, have children, and then kill your wife and children.Better yet you can go into your friends world and kill thier wife and children.

I hope lock pickings back..I do like breaking into people's houses, killing them all and then renting the house out for money.

Hey Roachy. Hey. Roachy. Hey. Guess what? I did work experience for lionhead last year. In Quality assurance. I wonder what I tested? :D

Can't wait for fable 2, it is going to be so fucking awesome.
Also, there is a collectors edition out. HMV is still listing it as not there to pre-order. But I know its coming with a hobbe figurine, so I fucking want that shit. :D

[Roachy]

I hope lock pickings back..I do like breaking into people's houses, killing them all and then renting the house out for money.

I reckon they'll have all the old tricks and more. It was really hard to go into someone's house and just not loot the place to high fuck. Being evil was just so easy.

I did work experience for lionhead last year. In Quality assurance. I wonder what I tested? :D

Yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu bastard. :p

[Jay]

That said maybe they should give us a bit more incentive to be good this time around :p

[Roachy]

Good point. I think maybe rewards that a player will really want that can only be achieved via aligning yourself either good or evil would sway it. There was a lot of "I cba to be good here so I'll just do something bad" moments in the first Fable.

Also - Ageing less quickly, plz.

[Ryanstorm]

Also - Ageing less quickly, plz.

Yeah that really needed sorting out in teh first fable; I thought they might have changed it in lost chapters but they didn't :(

[Roachy]

Yeah that really needed sorting out in teh first fable; I thought they might have changed it in lost chapters but they didn't :(

What annoyed me about Lost Chapters is that they changed Jack of Blades' voice to one that they tried to make all dark and evil.

He sounded way better in the first Fable. A lot more creepy and bad-guyish. Plus there was less additions to the original than I expected there to be.

I've got high hopes for Fable 2, though.

[Martinus]

Lionhead, in my experience, promise lots and deliver somewhat.

I'm not saying it'll be a bad game, I enjoyed the first, but I'm not going to listen to any hype surrounding it. PC version FTW of course. :)

[Kaveman]

Stephen Fry in Fable 2 (http://kotaku.com/5024160/hey-you-got-stephen-fry-in-my-fable-2)
Do want.

[Lyricaus]

I heard there were going to be famous voice actors. Sweet. Can't wait for fable 2 now. The new gameplay elements sound brilliant.

[Revilo]

Interesting good/bad system too.

There's Kindness and Cruelty, the old ones, which change your appearance, but also purity and corruption, which won't directly affect your appearance the same way. You might make you look WORSE for being better. An example is one girl is about to be cursed, to be scarred and ugly for life. If you step in and take the curse, she'll be fine. You'll be ugly for the entire game, though, but you'll be pure.

If you become very rich, beggars and poor people will become more poor, and look worse off. Looks interesting, is dat sum economy?

Oh yeah, and there's no HUD at all.

And the stuff you do as a kid will actually affect the world as an adult.

And one dungeon is actually the ruins of a forgotten area known as the "Heroes' Guild." :D

And there's no repercussion for dying, except losing any exp orbs which you didn't pick up.

[Ryanstorm]

Stephen Fry in Fable 2 (http://kotaku.com/5024160/hey-you-got-stephen-fry-in-my-fable-2)

Oh wow, this makes the game twice as awesome than it would have been without him

[Revilo]

Better yet you can go into your friends world and kill thier wife and children.

Actually, they added a "safe mode" so that you can turn off the second players ability to kill major characters.

[Norbington]

I tried playing the first one a little while back but I had just played Mass Effect and it didn't quite compare.

I am looking forward to this though.

God I used to love fable.

[minisheep]

i only got fable a week ago i luuuurve it fable2 looks awesome and u get a dog havent seen it mentioned here soi thought i would :D
I think guns will be really coolaslong as they are old guns like an arquebus or blunderbuss if there were like machine guns then it would suck...

OSSUM!!! :D

[Revilo]

Oh yeah, you can create combos with magic/melee/ranged attacks. I'm not sure about the system, but from what I've heard, you can make a combo then set it to its own combination of keys.

And environmental kills! Throwing/pushing/kicking people off towers/cliffs/down stairs/into spikes etc. not only looks awesome, but gives you bonus exp.

The release date is rumoured to be 1st October, can't wait.

I shall buy every property in Albion, and become a harsh and dictatorial king. And spawn many many children. And of course there's the whole things changing over time depending on what you do. A trading post might become a city if you buy things from it, and it'll become ruins if you steal and kill stuff in it.

Remember Molyneux made that claim about trees growing in the original fable? It's actually going to be implemented this time!

[Ryanstorm]

I don't trust lionhead but i think it will be out before xmas

I've already figured out my plan, get everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, I want through evil deeds, then turn out to be a benevolent ruler

Remember Molyneux made that claim about trees growing in the original fable? It's actually going to be implemented this time!

Surely a revolutionary feature that will change every game to come after it

[Norbington]

Fable: 2004
Mass Effect: 2007

God I used to love fable.

Yeah I probably played them in the wrong order

[White Tiger]

Fable 1 looked actually decent even though it was an rpg and I don't like them that much but Fable 2 will be obviously better and I'll just be extremely evil and rule over the world with my 16 wives.

[Revilo]

I wonder if there's a limit to how many children you can have.

*Becomes king of Albion and forces his 200 children to fight for the crown*

[White Tiger]

Well if the kids all met up the wives would end up meeting up too which would be bad :p

[Kaveman]

Well if the kids all met up the wives would end up meeting up too which would be bad :p

The wives won't be able to meet up, because they'll be in the kitchen.

[Roxit]

I thought Lionhead did not deliver in the first game. As a result I probably wont get this.

I learnt my lesson with GTA 4. I didn't really like any other previous games, but when I played a bit around a mates house I went out and bought it. I did a few missions on the 2nd island and haven't touched it since.

[Lyricaus]

You then, do not know games. Hated GTA IV? Decided Fable was bad, so you won't buy the sequel? A sequel that is released four years after the original, and has had time to improve on their last mistakes?
You sir, will be missing out a lot.

[luttman23]

I only first played fable a few months back, loved it. Made me chuckle lots. Can't wait for the new improved super sequel.

[Revilo]

So far, I haven't seen any huge chunky armours in the screenshots, just old-fashioned clothes and belts and coats and stuff.

I hope they have some big chunky armours. :(

[Ryanstorm]

I hope this is harder than the original, that game was way to easy, don't think i died once on it

[GorillaBearBear]

I thought Lionhead did not deliver in the first game. As a result I probably wont get this.


the big issue here is that while I too heard they didn't deliver on the first one, it doesn't mean it's bad. It's kind of like the whole Deus Ex 2 thing: It's actually ok in terms of story, and the gameplay isn't awful, but the gameplay was dumbed down from the first one so everyone trashes it. It doesn't make it any less fun or worth playing, it's just not as good as it could have been.

[Roachy]

I only first played fable a few months back, loved it. Made me chuckle lots. Can't wait for the new improved super sequel.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing if they keep the same standard of humour up in Fable 2 as they had in the first one. There were several points at which I couldn't help but laugh.

[Revilo]

Yeah, and I wonder if they're keeping the same accents as the first game. After all, it seems more city-ish than rural this time, and Stephen Fry as a voice actor doesn't seem quite the same.

[Kakarrrrr]

Thank god, i thought they'd never make a sequel. I'm buying a 360 for that, if nothing else.

[Roachy]

After all, it seems more city-ish than rural this time,

Yeah that's the direction there going in this time around, even though I like the rural countryside aspect of Fable. None of that hyped up jungle bollocks it was proper British woodland was that! (Including the Balverines)

I think they'll be varying the accents more. It was basically Posh Gentleman, Brummie, Farmer Joe or Goofy half posh - half really put on silly voice in Fable 1 lol.

Alroyt moy lorrd?

Just one of the many things that will make this game brilliant

[Jay]

I really can't wait...I might go on a slaughter rampage on the first one a few days before this comes out, just so I have no regrets etc.

Is anyone getting that Arcade game "Pub Games" that links to Fable 2?

Its funny, we still haven't seen any screens of the female character you can go..

[White Tiger]

Will the std's make your character weaker? :p

[Lyricaus]

I've seen the female character. Lets say, it follows the generic female hero style. ;)

[Revilo]

Gaaaaah. I really need to get around to getting my 360 fixed, or it won't be done in time for fable 2.

:(


The pub games seem like a bit of a waste to me, 'cause you can play them in pubs in fable 2 whether you bought them separately or not. Waste of money, much? You can get in-game gold, yeah, but you can also do that in the actual game omg.

It doesn't take months to get your xbox fixed. Under a month to get it fixed.

[Revilo]

It doesn't take months to get your xbox fixed. Under a month to get it fixed.

It's out of warranty, and I don't actually know exactly what's wrong with it.

I need to find someone to repair it, preferably cheaply, find out what's wrong, and dig up enough money to pay for the repairs.

It's also more that I just never get round to it, It's been broken for ages now.

In the preview I saw, IGN said they were expecting it to be free. Their reasoning was that Lionhead were letting you get lots of fake gold to use in game for free in order to make you buy the game.

FREE GAME + NOT FREE GAME = PROFIT!!1!!1

[Roachy]

I don't know what this post originally said but what it said a minute ago wasn't what I originally put so...

?

[Mat^]

amusing in terms of humourlol

[Roachy]

Well yeah. I don't doubt for a second that the gameplay won't keep me amused.

[Scribbly]

I f'n love Fable, not available on pc though eh

[Roachy]

Pffft, PC is gay. Unless you have a high spec PC that you use specifically for gaming these days, you won't get the most out of the majority of new games.

Plus joypads > keyboards.

[Kaveman]

Plus joypads > keyboards.

That's pretty much right apart from FPS and RTS games.

[B34N]

I remember the first ever play of fable i was dared to get engaged to this guy so i did then we gay-sexed and in that play through i was forever branded Bisexual no matter how many fucksluts i banged =(

so looking forward to this one.

[Mat^]

Well yeah. I don't doubt for a second that the gameplay won't keep me amused.no i mean saying amusing in terms of humour is like saying "good looking in terms of graphics".

[Jay]

That's pretty much right apart from FPS and RTS games.Well if I'm honest I hate using a keyboard for fps games. The mouse is great, but the keyboard just never gel's right with me for some reason.

[mrsnuffles]

I f'n love Fable, not available on pc though eh

fable is out for pc

[Roachy]

no i mean saying amusing in terms of humour is like saying "good looking in terms of graphics".

No. It isn't really. Amusing can also mean "pleasantly entertaining or diverting".

The humour in the game could be shit and therefore neither of these.

Get a dictionary, man.

[B34N]

http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/fable_2_condom.jpg


so can you like get aids and then like bleed on your sword so even if they run away they contract aids so that no matter what they've done you've won the battle anyway?

[Ryanstorm]

Oh i do hope so

[Mat^]

No. It isn't really. Amusing can also mean "pleasantly entertaining or diverting".

The humour in the game could be shit and therefore neither of these.

Get a dictionary, man.However, if the "humour" (which websters describes as "the quality of being funny") was terrible, it wouldn't be humour at all, and you wouldn't have the ability to draw entertainment from it.

who needs a dictionary now

I call this arguing a moot point anyway because semantics = useless.

[Roachy]

That's what I basically said... but without the Webster definition

I had skepticisms about it being less 'amusing' (see - entertaining/diverting) in terms of the humour (see - funny things which make us smile or laugh) than the previous game, which disappeared with the viewing of a screenshot in this thread.

DO U C?

[Mat^]

you're still going.

but what I am saying, is that if there is humour, it is already amusing, thus you are being over-apt

the comparison I made about it "looking good in terms of graphics" was, it looks good, I don't know where else it would look good other than graphically.

[edit] I can't come to bed, someone is WRONG, on the INTERNETS.

[woobi]

Thread now about definitions of words?

[Roachy]

You can have bad humour, man. Everybody finds different stuff funny and if I didn't find it funny, the humour wouldn't be entertaining for me.

It's a broadened word, humour doesn't specifically mean something is funny anymore, which is why you can say "The humour in this film/game/book is shite" or "Your humour is awful".

If I don't find it funny funny than the humour won't amuse me.
:/

Totally de-railed my Fable thread over a sentence here...

[The Mna]

I wasn't going to step in, but since its still going, I'll say Roachy has the point here. A game can be amusing in ways besides humour (i.e. gamplay-minigames, combat, lore, etc.)

To say that fable 2 looks amusing in terms of humour is not redundant as amusement could just as easily refer to plenty of other aspects to the game.

/combobreaker

[Roachy]

Okay, we've made our points. Can we get back to the Fable 2 discussion, plz?
Not sure why mat only posted in here to be a pedant when he hasn't actually discussed the game...

FABLE 2 - CONTINUE.

[Mat^]

oh, and the game looks cool

[White Tiger]

How can a game look cool as in the sense of cold?

:p

But it does look cool in the sense of Mat^ cool.
Don't worry man he won't get angry I complimented him

[Jay]

I'm so getting the Collectors Edition of Fable 2, you get lots of shit with it apparently. Like Master Chiefs suit, reinvented.

I'm so using that shirt and making a Link..unless theres a better alt anywho.

[White Tiger]

So yeah I'm getting the LE too. :p

Just so I can get away with like trying to teabag my enemies.

That cinches it. I'm getting a 360 and putting this game on pre-order ASAP.

[Mat^]

I was just about to post that photo :P.

DO WANT.

[Kaveman]

I was sold at Hobbe figurine.

[Lyricaus]

I was sold at the name fable 2.

[pyromite]

I have just put $10 on the limited edition Fable 2. Now I have to convince my family to either buy my Wii from me or give up the Wii entirely. Since they got Wii Fit, though, I doubt they'll listen to either option.

[Lyricaus]

“Fable® II” will ship to U.S. retailers on Oct. 21, 2008 and European retailers on Oct. 24, with subsequent release dates throughout the rest of the world in the coming months.
Are you telling me it will still get to the US first? Despite Lionhead being UK based? I know Microsoft is USA, so it makes sense. But I'd still want it first.

[pyromite]

At least you're not getting it months after the US.

[Lyricaus]

True, true.

god dammit
i was deliberately avoiding information about this so that i didn't get excited
then i look at the achievements and they're all so awesome that i want this game really badly with very little extra information

god dammit

Oh, do want!

Aaaawwwwwwweeessssssssssssooooooooooooommmmmmmmmme eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Ryanstorm]

Oh wow, really can't wait
Pre-ordered the limited edition the other day
Along with Fallout 3 and Gears Of War 2 (both limited edition)
With all the money i'm spending on the limited editions I could get another game...

[Norbington]

Yeah so I downloaded the trial version of pub games. It's only free if you pre-ordered :(

I swear the game hates me or it cheats.

I am in sooo much debt...

[Mr.L.Xp]

I play pub games by covering my losses with more losses.

[White Tiger]

If I preorder from play will I get the games free?

Does it have to be the LE as well?

[edit] The full games come with the LE retail disc.
Preordered the LE :)

[Kaveman]

You should do and it has to be the LE.

[pyromite]

Must be LE. Even I know got the LE. And I don't even have a 360.

[Kaveman]

http://kotaku.com/5055621/fable-ii-online-co+op-so-not-making-launch-date
That's pretty bad.
Especially for people without live. Cos that means they'll never get co-op. Hopefully they do go ahead and update it within the week.

[White Tiger]

It doesn't mention anything about on one console co-op. But still it sucks in a sense but still I'd rather have the feature released a few days later than the games release if its going to be correct and properly working.

Also all co-op demos were done on the one xbox so I'm guessing if it worked to demo the game it should for the full just not online.

[Kaveman]

oh right yeah, just online co-op. That's ok then. I don't think I'd want to go straight into online co-op anyway.

[White Tiger]

Gives people a chance to get as many wives and kids as possible so that when their mates come in they surely can't kill them all. :p

[Kaveman]

I'm sooo gonna bone kill greet your wife.

No co-op for release of the game chaps. I am however, miffed that North America will get priority of the patch, not like Lionhead's a UK Company or anything.

[Roachy]

Heh heh heeeeh. I told you it would be awesome.

This time around they haven't promised above what they can achieve like they did with the first game.

But it's sooooooo gooooood.

theres actually an online "safe" mode for co-op, that stops ur partner from killing anyone, or messing up any missions. obviously people will takee offence when they realise u trust them about as much as hitler, but in the long run will be helpful if they are trigger happy in ur local residence.

"ahh, hello. this is my lovely wife."

KABOOOOM!!

[Kaveman]

Fable 2 collectors edition has taken a few losses. (http://kotaku.com/5057688/fable-ii-lce-drops-in-price-and-features)
No hobbe figurine :(

"ahh, hello. this is my lovely wife."

KABOOOOM!!

I wouldn't be very happy if that happened but I could see it happening sadly.

We don't have long to wait now. :D

[Jay]

Yeah, think I'll just stick to a regular edition then..

[Lyricaus]

Man, that really sucks. I hope in the future they'l get the items produced and available to buy, or send out to buyers of the LE. This is really irritating me tbh. we're getting nothing tangible, its all DVD content or dlc. I have a bad feeling Fable II will get bad reviews for this, similar to how spore got bad reviews due to DRM.
On a side note, anyone seen the Lionhead video diary no.7? Has Judy Dench and Stephen Fry recording dialogue. Looks sweet!

[chickenrunner81]

Are you telling me it will still get to the US first? Despite Lionhead being UK based? I know Microsoft is USA, so it makes sense. But I'd still want it first.
That's just 3 days difference. It's probably something internal. Some publishers always ship on certain days of the week for different countries I think.

It sucks but at least they've dropped the price and it still has extra material. It's basically only the stuff that's not in the game or on discs which I can live without myself. I'll still be looking to get the collector's edition I think.

I'm not blaming Lionhead/Molyneux for this as it's most likely not their fault.

Yeah we go find the potential makers and kick their asses.

Its only like 16 days now isn't it? So yeah not long now.

Got an email from HMV today. Saying the game will come in some plastic sleeve design or something. Mainly, it'l cost the same as the standard edition now, but still has bonus Discs. Score!

I'm looking forward to the post on the site saying its gone gold or whatever. (basically being mass produced)

[Loogie]

It sucks but at least they've dropped the price and it still has extra material. It's basically only the stuff that's not in the game or on discs which I can live without myself. I'll still be looking to get the collector's edition I think.

I'm not blaming Lionhead/Molyneux for this as it's most likely not their fault.

they've also done this (http://lionhead.com/?newsid=44), to try and make up for it :D

edit: the image isn't appearing on sumthingdigital for some firefox users, use this (http://promo.sumthingdigital.com/Fable.zip) for a direct link instead :)

[Roachy]

Ah, someone mentioned that earlier but cheers for the link, Loogie.

I can download them now. ^_^

EDIT: WITM8? Doesn't seem to be working for me... :(

EDIT2: No wait, I've got it working! :)

[White Tiger]

I can't get the code to work. :(
It says theres no matching promotion.

I worked it out now but I don't want to sign up.

[Roachy]

Click on the image to the right of the top box you enter the codes in. Should be an image with a pic of the album cover and it says "Fable Collection" on it.

Should download automagically upon clicking!

EDIT: For anyone else having problems with the code, fuck the code and do this:

So I preordered this today.

Game and Gamestation are doing the limited edition for the same price as the normal one, which I thought was fancy.

Wicked thanks. :)

I am starting to get really hyped up about it now only two weeks left and I'm dieing to play.

My one fear is the dog since you have no control the chance of the AI going Duuurrrrrrrrrr and it just getting in the way seems very high to me. I hope to be proven wrong and play with almost a real life dog but still I doubt that will happen.

[Lyricaus]

Oh trust me, the dog ain't gonna be like that. ;) *taps nose*

[Roachy]

My one fear is the dog since you have no control the chance of the AI going Duuurrrrrrrrrr and it just getting in the way seems very high to me. I hope to be proven wrong and play with almost a real life dog but still I doubt that will happen.

I read a review in which the reviewer thought this and came out thinking otherwise. The dog was said to be very life-like and the AI was awesome.

So I'm hoping I'll end up agreeing with said reviewer.

It also looks really good and healthy if you're good and goes all vicious, mangy and evil if you are a naughty person.

[Lyricaus]

Uh oh! This game will get slammed for promoting barbaric dog's, and teaching them to be violent!
N.B. I typed this sarcastically, but I then realised it will probably happen.

[Kaveman]

I doubt it. The dog is like a real dog so if you're making it a barbaric dog the problem lies with you.

Really looking forward to this mind.

[White Tiger]

Yes we all pray for this. But yeah I still think the next gens AI could be a lot better but what do I know really. Still It would be cool walking around bowerstone with your dog right next to you looking wicked awesome. :p

Also something I've just thought is that in the trailer the young boy gets smacked out the window and then a dog comes and licks his hand so saying the boy is like 8-10 years old at the time so surely by the time hes 20 the dog will be starting to slow down and when hes 30 and super power (possibly) the dog would be dead or just old and lazy.
Have lionhead made super dogs that don't age?

Also 12 days. :D

[Ryanstorm]

Any word as to whether you can pick the breed of your dog?
Walking round with a husky would be soooooo cool

[vaughan]

Any word as to whether you can pick the breed of your dog?
Walking round with a husky would be soooooo cool

i dont think you can but a st bernard would be way cooler than a husky

i mean c'mon ther massive

[Kaveman]

The breed of the dog changes based on your personality.

[Jay]

In that case, would you get a st bernard if you were an alcholic in the game?

[Loogie]

in-game items to be won :)

if you're under 17, you'll have to lie about your age

[Jay]

I've managed to get three so far...the full good and full bad ones are pretty shit mind, the neutral one is the best I've seen.

[Kaveman]

The full good one is a Chicken suit. That's pretty awesome imo.

[Jay]

What? I had that as the neutral one..what woman did you choose?

The full good one is a hero figure and a tattoo..

[Kaveman]

Choose the woman on the right; red dress etc.

[Joe G]

It wont work for me, I do the story etc and when it comes to claim I get a parser error or something :/

[Lyricaus]

more in game stuff to be won? I'm starting to get annoyed at this actually, as if I don't do it now, will i miss out entirely?
I'm getting that error too now. Annoying. How many items are there to be won anyway? There's so many different combinations of choices to make.

[White Tiger]

Page is un available when I claim my prize. :(

[Ryanstorm]

I hope the slow time power makes a return, I loved that
Summoning would be nice as well, even though it wasn't that useful I did love my white balverine following me about

[White Tiger]

Some naughty polish people have filmed the first 10 minutes of fable 2.
I'm highly tempted to watch it but the chances are it will either ruin the excitement of the first play and maybe ruin the game for me are high.
Its on Kotaku you'll have to find it if you really want to see it but still posting the link could lead to a lot of people being angry at me at least now you can blame me for knowing the first 10 minutes are out there but not for watching it.

[Lyricaus]

I'm already annoyed some people have got to play it. That's not the worst part, what's worse is they appear to be calling the game shit. If you won't enjoy it, why should you get it early? <_<

[Ryanstorm]

I doubt its shit, the people that got it early have probably just believed every stupid rumour they've heard and therefore have been disappointed.
I hope its not shit.

[White Tiger]

If its fable 1 with a 2 and a dog I'll be happy.

[Ryanstorm]

If they stick to the same general style of fable 1 then I'll enjoy it.
Saying that I am a bit unsure about the removal of the mana for spells...

[White Tiger]

Well if you can constantly use magic that would be cool since you wouldn't need a sword or bow/gun equipped you could go around all cool and just point at people and shoot fire at them.
Real baddassness 24-7.

[Jay]

I quite like the idea really...no more potions needed for that. I hope theres more thief/assassin styled spells now though, as thats what my main dude was like before (before I got bored and taught him that giant soul eating move anyway..).

[QoQuaq]

Fable II is one of the games that's making me want to get one of those new 360s....

[Norbington]

Do it.

[White Tiger]

I may end up buying a new 360 on friday or saturday incase mine breaks. Supposedly it will break soon bu still let me have my fun on fable 2 before breaking.

[Ryanstorm]

I read somewhere that instead of a mana bar all spells have to be charged up, the more powerful the spell, the longer the change; apparently you can level one of your will skills up to reduce charge time of spells.

[eidderf]

I've recently decided I'll probably get Fable 2 and will probably be evil considering I am usually good on most games with these sort of moral decisions. I did have the first Fable but after completing a hard side mission and buying a lot of stuff there was an error that made everything freeze up and I lost all of the stuff, after that point I had no real urge to play it again. Do you think that there will be anything major from Fable 1 that I'll need to know before playing 2, I know it's not the same main character and a slightly different setting but do you think anything story related will carry over?

[Lyricaus]

I didn't know Fable II used no mana. Wow. huh. Erm...thats rather odd.

[Kaveman]

@eidderf I don't think so.

And I think this time around it's not gonna be as easy as choosing to be good or evil. There's gonna be lots of different choices and factors that change your morality in the game.

[White Tiger]

Good or Evil
Kindness & Cruelty
Wealth & Poverty
Slim or Fat
Young or Old

Also I have a feeling the old bad guy will be back but I don't know.

I really hope the arena is on again.

[Lyricaus]

I do find it confusing you can be a kind, evil character? Basically, you can only be good and kind, or evil and cruel. So the kindness and cruelty things are rather pointless, no?

[Kaveman]

I don't think Jack of Blades is coming back.
In lost chapters the good ending you destroy the mask so he would never return. They'll take the good ending as the canon ending because games always do.

[Ryanstorm]

This no mana thing may just be the rumour mill misleading me, don't take my word as fact

there are some story bits, a few stores have broken release date so i'll tell you what i know (MAJOR SPOILERS GUISE)
in fable 1 you were a member of the heroes guild who save the world and do all heroic deeds and shit, and between fable 1 and 2 heroes are all wiped out and the guild gets burned down (see tales of albion (http://lionhead.com/fable2/TalesofAlbion/Default.aspx), that is pretty much as much as you need to know as far as backstory)

in fable 2 you and your sister are the last descendants of a long bloodline of heroes whose ancestors somehow survived, and a mysterious woman (who is your sister in fable 1) takes you to the ruins of the guild and makes you a really heroic hero

[White Tiger]

This no mana thing may just be the rumour mill misleading me, don't take my word as fact

Its on the wiki entry. Has to be right since it is wikipedia. :p

I don't think Jack of Blades is coming back.
In lost chapters the good ending you destroy the mask so he would never return. They'll take the good ending as the canon ending because games always do.

Yeah that is right but you never know he was like uber magic and awesome and could of found a way back from the dead.

[Lyricaus]

are those online flash games working again yet?

[Ryanstorm]

I want Jack of Blades back, he was cool

[White Tiger]

Not really he killed your parents.
Not cool.

Also...

WE ONLY HAVE TO WAIT TILL FRIDAY FUCK YEEAAAAAHHHHHHH

[Kaveman]

I'd rather he'd not come back. I want a new villain, the first sequel isn't a time to re-use old villains.

EDIT: For anyone who doesn't visit Kotaku regularly click me (http://kotaku.com/tag/Fable-II/) for all the latest fable 2 articles. It contains interviews with Molyneux and gameplay footage and stuff

[Norbington]

I am tempted to buy this game...

I have large amounts of work to do, Fallout 3 is coming out a week later and it'll probably be sold out everywhere....

[Lyricaus]

Tempted? You should of had it pre-ordered an age ago. To me, Fable made the good V evil thing popular. Hell, only GTA has just attempted to pick up on it.
Fable 1 was perfect with it as is. so imagine how awesome Fable II will be. :D

[Ryanstorm]

My only quarrel with fable 1 was how you couldn't be good but cruel in your methods, and I'm very grateful that you can in fable 2!
I wasn't even bothered about fable 1 being short, since I did every single little quest and got everything levelled to the maximum as well as playing lost chapters it really didn't seem like it wasn't big enough.

[Jay]

I still haven't actually preordered..oh 'eck. Gonna do it tomorrow though.

[White Tiger]

I've got two pre orders at the moment. XD

[Mat^]

I've got two preorders m'self too, both at the same store heh

[White Tiger]

Same just ones LE and one isn't

[Lyricaus]

why do you need two? LE and standard cost the same, except LE has making of DVD and bonus DLC content. Not hard to pick one. :p

[White Tiger]

Well on play.com the whole getting a LE looks unlikely so I have preorder a normal one before being sure that I won't get the LE.

[Lyricaus]

yeah...that's why I go with websites I can trust for delivery and supplying the product. At the first sign of doubt, I'd thought you would of changed website orders.

[White Tiger]

I trust play. Just with the whole oh shit LE is pointless crap they might not be getting any in stock so they've stopped people ordering or too many people have ordered and have canceled more ordering.

[Roachy]

I maintain that Jack of Blades was awesome until they raped his voice in TLC and made him sound completely different.

He sounded cool and creepy in Fable. In TLC he just sounded like an ethnic muppet with added reverb.

[Mat^]

why do you need two? LE and standard cost the same, except LE has making of DVD and bonus DLC content. Not hard to pick one. :pat the time I preordered i wasn't sure I wanted the special because all I wanted was the masterchief armour and wasn't sure I wanted the rest, now there isn't a "rest" and so I want the special.

[QoQuaq]

why do you need two? LE and standard cost the same, except LE has making of DVD and bonus DLC content. Not hard to pick one. :p

ShopTo has Fable II LE for £42.99 and aren't taking pre-orders anymore and their normal version is £37.99 and are still taking pre-orders. And for anyone that doesn't know - ShopTo do next day delivery for free and they send out pre-ordered stock as soon as they receive it, so you usually get it a couple of days earlier than the release day.

[Jay]

Preordered today. Cutting it fine much..

[Norbington]

IGN UK give it a 9.5

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/921/921516p1.html

[Ryanstorm]

I've pre-ordered a the LE from a little shop near me, not one of the big companies.
The bloke who owns it has pretty much confirmed that I'll get one, so I'm happy.

[Kaveman]

Molyneux Interview. (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41557.html)

[Ryanstorm]

From what I've read in this review and seen in that interview, I am going to absolutely adore this game.
I'm actually glad they haven't altered the combat from its one click way, I think it's fine that way, with all the different spells you can use such as slow time and assassins rush it doesn't get as repetitive as most people would expect.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the world change around me and how everything develops to how I act, as well as seeing how my character develops (I'm probably going to go down the good but harsh path).

tl;dr Arghhhh I can't wait for Fable 2

[Kaveman]

4 daaaaaaaays!

[Ryanstorm]

4 days too long!

[White Tiger]

I know I can't wait I need to read that IGN review but still before reading it I have a feeling IGN maybe over rated it since of the hype and played it and thought awesome but still it could be honest and true which would be awesome.

Also don't tempt me to order from shopto since I will and somehow hope they all charge on the 24th sicne thats payday. XD
Also isn't shopto recorded delivery? So you have to sign?
I haven't been on in ages like but it said that you have to sign.

[edit]Also a cool thing that I read was that when renting out properties you gain the gold every 5 minutes even when not on the game so going into property will be very handy even if you're still in the middle of playign and have to go on holiday you will earn money.

Invest in property!

Also news on play.com LE pre order they have stopped people ordering since they wouldn't be able to meet the demand.

[Mat^]

The inclusion wrecking a town's economy to lower house prices was very prophetic of them.

Also WT did you mean the UK review? Because the US version seems closer to the truth.

[White Tiger]

All of my last post before the edit was before reading the review and it was the english just thought theres a chance they reviewer could of been blinded by the hype.

[Jay]

I'll go with the UK review more...British game after all, so they know better :p

[Mat^]

waiting for the giant bomb review above everything

that's giant bomb, mat up's review site of choice

giant bomb

[Elbowman-iac]

Is this on PC? Or I'll have to sell my Wii and games to get a 360 and Fable 2.

[Kaveman]

360 only.

[La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo]

Getting Far Cry 2 Friday, and my mate's getting Fable 2, so we're swapping when we're done with our respective games.

[Mat^]

that's a smart idea and wait WHAT

fc2 is out friday too?

fucking hell we're spoiled what with fable, deadspace and that

plus fallout the week after and gears after that

and fucking cod 5

and probably more shit i've forgotten but want

I mean jesus.

[White Tiger]

You're doing it the wrong way round mate.

But still I'll help you in coop and let you take the majority of the experience. I'll need over 50% of the money like since my services will be needed lots because I plan on being awesome. :p

[Splush]

Man, I was quite happily ignoring Fable 2 entirely and then I accidentally read Eurogamer's review (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=263778) and now I'm excited.

[Jay]

Holy fuck, a 10? I always see Eurogamer as a relayable site too, so that is awesome...whoop!

[Joe G]

I just hope it's a substantial loss of xp for dying so it isn't too easy :/

[Kaveman]

still 4 daaays
:(

[Norbington]

Hmm.

Maybe I should play Fable 1.

[Ryanstorm]

Only 8 spells? pfft!
Then again, there was only about 8 useful spells in Fable 1.

[White Tiger]

8 spells means theres less to max out so you can be uber powerful in less time. Maybe :p

Still is it bad to start talkign about how quickly your next few days will be?
My next 2 will go by alright if work is going alright thursday should be alright and friday I'm hoping for an early finish/alright day.

[Jay]

I have a funeral tomorrow, followed by the scattering of ash on wednesday and work on the thursday...this game will actually be the best part of my week so I hope its bloody brilliant.

There's eight spells? Thats not so bad, the spells look majorly supercharged this time anyway...plus in the orginal it took alot of will exp to up the spell level after it hit around lv. 3 so you'd only wind up with a few maxed out spells in the end.

[Ryanstorm]

But I liked the choice of choosing which spells were worth levelling up and those which you weren't too bothered about.
I've read a few reviews and they seem to be contradicting each other, but luckily scores seem to be consistently high so it should be pretty dam good.

[Jay]

I hope "Force Push" doesn't throw everyone nearby like before...I was playing just now as my good character and me and some guards were attacking a bunch of bandits...and it threw the fucking guards too, so they got up and starting beating me with the bandits.

Wtf D:<

[Mat^]

Hmm.

Maybe I should play Fable 1.nah

everything that it informed since release has been better, whatever was groundbreaking then seems standard now.

it's like playing jak and daxter 1 now, you won't see the big deal because now all games give you a different noise when you walk on different surfaces and you have the ability to go anywhere you can see.

[White Tiger]

I hope "Force Push" doesn't throw everyone nearby like before...I was playing just now as my good character and me and some guards were attacking a bunch of bandits...and it threw the fucking guards too, so they got up and starting beating me with the bandits.

Wtf D:<

I think force push is a very powerful tool if used correctly especially if your dog is attacking enemies on the ground since you can get them all onto the floor but obviously with gaurds around the struggle against the mass numbers will be less.

Use your powers wisely young padawan.

[Jay]

lol wonder if you can force push your dog...

I was reading impressions on various forums and some dude said he got an std off a chick so he force pushed her into the ocean. lol.

[Ryanstorm]

Any bitch that gives me an STD is gonna get BURNED

[Lyricaus]

It seems my being safe about delivery of the game has back fired. It appears HMV are now lazy on their delivery time. Despite paying next day, it'l take three days to arrive. Three days from Friday, leaves me Sunday. No mail on Sunday, means I won't get it until Monday.
So I've now got to hope they get their arses together and deliver on time, go pre-order in an actual shop tomorrow and hope I can get it for release, or just wait for the online delivery.

[Norbington]

nah

everything that it informed since release has been better, whatever was groundbreaking then seems standard now.

it's like playing jak and daxter 1 now, you won't see the big deal because now all games give you a different noise when you walk on different surfaces and you have the ability to go anywhere you can see.

Yeah but I bought it from live about a year ago and never really played it so should really.

Anyone got any advice?

[Lyricaus]

Play it? Fuck ground breaking, and it seeming bland. It sets the story, gets you into the good V evil mindset, and making choices. Not to mention helping you acquaint yourself with how the Fable world acts.
Also, I do consider some things in Fable still ground breaking. Can anyone name another game where you age? As I can't.

[Kaveman]

The Sims.

[Lyricaus]

...Curse you. fine. A game where you take direct control of the character ageing, not just suggesting them to do things!

[Pizzaman]

Sweet.
Can't wait for the release here.

[Rhiyo]

I've been playing it all day, it is good but still seems like fable 1 to me :-/ I suppose I could count that as a good thing.

[Loogie]

GAH

game cancelled my limited collector's edition preorder D:

they're now no longer stocking it and i've tried gamestation and a few others and they're all out of stock

does anyone know anywhere where i can preorder it and get it delivered for release day?

[Joe G]

play.com have never let me down on that front despite what others have said.

[Lyricaus]

Man, shame I won't be getting my copy until the 27th, but at least I'm still getting my CE. *crosses fingers and blindly prays*

[White Tiger]

Play.com says 3-5 days delivery. Most the time when I get the email saying its posted its next day. Its great for covering their backs sicne yeah we expect next day from what we've learnt but at the end of the day 3-5 days they say it clearly in every order email.

I'm not sure on hmw but if you're paying for next day delivery you have a right for your money back if they're sayign ti won't be next day. Theres still a chance it will be, depends who they use.

[EDIT]MY ORDER IS IN ''PACKING'' YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

I giggled rather insanely into my hands when i found out.

FUCK YES!

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1627/fable2inpackingnh0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Yeah suck it.
Also £39.99.

[Lyricaus]

you jammy git. I think HMV now operates on a policy of no packing the order until the day of release. So basically, they won't pack and (hopefully) ship my order until the 24th. Or the 25th.
I did send an angry email to them last night, as they seem delayed in delivery of all goods now. Eh, so long as I get it in time for my two weeks off, I'm still happy.

Woulda liked it early like the rest of you though...I'll use play from now on. Too late to pre-order Fallout 3 I reckon though. Eh, that just gives me more time for Fable II.

Also, download the fate cards we won't get right here! http://www.lionhead.com/?newsid=52 They look really nice to be honest, a shame they didn't make it.

[White Tiger]

If you're not desperate about the LE you can get nromal fable from play. I glad I cancelled my second order yesterday since I don't have enough money in my bank for two and might not of got them.

[Lyricaus]

Nah, I do want the LE/CE. Also, anyone know if the online extra content is working yet? I'm getting fed up going through it each time, to find out it wont work. EDIT: Yep, online extra content thing is working now!

[Joe G]

8.9 average on metacritic.

[White Tiger]

EDIT: Yep, online extra content thing is working now!

Right I'm running through that badboy like six times.

[Lyricaus]

Only five items to win though, ain't there? o_O

[White Tiger]

Yeah it didn't work again.
Got the chicken suit.

[Lyricaus]

ah, there are five prizes, but only three paths. Good, Evil and Neutral/benevolent obviously. You get two prizes for the evil and benevolent path, and one for the good path.
I guess being evil does pay more. I've now got all three claimed. Hoorah for me!

[Joe G]

I already did it like 3 times when it wasn't working, cba.

[Lyricaus]

But, SBA. Worth it in my opinion. Easy items to get, and no in game debt to pay off either. :D Edit: Also, White Tiger, has your copy of Fable shipped yet? As if it has. <_<

[Joe G]

Mines been posted this morning, that means there's a slim chance i could have it tomorrow but friday for definite.

[Jay]

It's painful that about 50 copys of this game will most likely be sitting in the glass display behind me most of tomorrow...

Wonder if they'd sell me one after my shift..

[White Tiger]

Mines been posted this morning, that means there's a slim chance i could have it tomorrow but friday for definite.

Same.

:D

It's painful that about 50 copys of this game will most likely be sitting in the glass display behind me most of tomorrow...

Wonder if they'd sell me one after my shift..

Remember to pick it up and hide it! So at the end of the day you can go ''oooo look what I found can I buy it please?''

[Roachy]

Mine's been despatched today so hoping to get it ASAP, whoop!

[Kaveman]

Me too.
woop woop

[Norbington]

Why wont they stop calling me chicken chaser?

[Kaveman]

because that's your title. You can buy new titles from the title shop outside of the Heroes Guild and Arena.

[Lyricaus]

Mine has also been listed as shipped out this morning! Tomorrow for the win, as its my day off! Though I'll probably play Dead space first. Its more linear, so quicker to complete. More Fable time then.

[Rhiyo]

This game finishes to quick.

[Lyricaus]

Don't spoil it too quick. <_< But out of interest, is that the main story only or the entire game, all side quests, etc?

[Rhiyo]

Don't spoil it too quick. <_< But out of interest, is that the main story only or the entire game, all side quests, etc?

There is not much side quests, the main story finishes as quick as fable 1 I'd say. But still I think it's more fun then fable 1.

SPOILER
The game just ends... there is no final boss something major happens in the story and it ends, pretty gay.

[Lyricaus]

Oh. Not much side quests...quick. Oh. :(

[Ryanstorm]

There is not much side quests, the main story finishes as quick as fable 1 I'd say. But still I think it's more fun then fable 1.

My enthusiasm has plummeted just a little bit...
I quite like side quests :(

[Lyricaus]

You sure there weren't many side quests? You sure you didn't just rush a bit and not explore enough to find them? I'm hoping you did.

[Roachy]

Oh look Fable II has plopped through my letterbox. Woo, yay and lol.

[Lyricaus]

OOh gay and humph. Unless my mailman's lazy, and is going to walk back to his van, then drive to my door to deliver my games, I won't be getting them today.

[Ryanstorm]

Should be getting mine later today

Mailmans fucked off home with no games for me. So much for me playing Fable II on my day off work.

YEAHHHHHH!
Just got it
Shame I'm going out, I'll have to play it later

[White Tiger]

Got it today :)

Oh come on. Must everyone get this game before me? I know I got to play Fable II month's before release, but still. I'm very much annoyed.
