Weapons & Armour in Fable 2

[pieintehsky]

Anyone who has played finalfantasy 10 and 10-2 will know exactly what i mean here. But anyway. Rikku uses them in FF10 and 10-2. Basically you hold 2 blades up your arms and punch and slice the crap outta hobbes. I have a picture here. They are a little bit like ones off prince of persia but not quite them. the weapon im on about is my display picture. Not meaning to stray off subject but any1 played FFX or FFX-2?

well got a little idea for a special weapons....

how a bout a big gold warhammer(Thor the tunder god's hammer.) as an Good side weapon.

and for the evil ones a shyter(maybe wrong spelling here).( you know the Reaper, he had a cool staff with a half circle blade on the edge)with some blood on it to make it look more evil

[Schythe]

Good idea .. Like scythe have you mean :P :P

Also this isint a real weapon but would be cool .. horses ... Like in zelda end in Kingdom underfire that would be coool .. End yea ofcourse


,,,,,ShieldS,,,,,,,

This is not really about what armor i want, but how to get the armor.

I've always liked making your own items in games. I would like to see that in Fable. Collect the right material you need and create it. To add though, i've noticed all the games that you make your own items you can also buy them somewhere else. What i want is to make my own items that you can't get anywhere else.

[Mandalorianx]

so like create/costumis(you create you own armore witch you can chose from difrent styles of armor,color and maybe marks to sow that its your own armor)?? if so i would love your idea hope the same for weapons

[marten0305]

That is exactly what i meant. Glad you like it, just hope more people like it. I've always like this feature in games, just the whole adding color, style, etc... is a feature i've only seen in one game.

I hope you can get a pesrsonal weapon which id you pay more the stronger it is & what type of weapon & decide weathers its light or not.

You could decide whar the weapon looked like weather it be a bow or a stick.

What I wouldn't mind seeing in the game is a lance. For those who are not familiar, this weapon looks like a long pointed pole and is used mostly for those on horseback. If Fable 2 allows you to mount a horse, having a lance would be convenient.

[Mandalorianx]

well some1 mention a spear(think it was DesR85) that made me think about area attack(attacking many enemy around you, at the same time).
and....well i was watching a movie yeasterday, and the man there was using a chain with something sharp on 1 of the end of the chain.and was atttacking all enemy around him(realy cool to see). i think that that weapon would be cool in this type of game

I remember that spear idea. It should be me who mentioned it. About the area attack, I do recall that in Fable: The Lost Chapters, the main character swings his weapon in an arc so dealing with crowds isn't difficult (much better than Gothic 3 combat system, to be honest. Fighting a small number of enemies is enought to get you killed there ).

On the other hand, the ability to swing your weapon at 360° is not only good but essential especially when fighting a large number of enemies. Perhaps that could come in as a certain button combination (hold block button and tap the attack button twice as an example but not multiple button combinations like what you see in fighting games).

[marten0305]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, but how about having multiple area damage attacks so it does't look like your doing the same thing everytime.

i think we shoud be able to design your own weapons and armour like in guild wars but this time more sepific like you can make your qwn design or pick from one that u like in range, melee, and armour and yes horses would be nice. I hope you can make more of your self like if you want you can open a store or sail a ship or be a blacksmith in you extra time and than you really can but your own symbol on it.

[Elite_Gamer]

They sould put in spears,staffs,whips,scythes,and brass knuckles so that there is a variety of weapons.Custom weaopns and armour plus dual weilding would be a much enjoyed bonus. I also really like the shield idea to. And if they put guns in it they should make the reload time slow but have extremely powerful shots. For other ranged weapons shuriken, throwing knives,bows(of course),and the ability to throw your melee weapons(great idea)are cool ideas.

Well, Peter Molyneux demonstrated Fable 2 at this year's GDC '07 (link) and guns were confirmed to be in the game as demonstrated in the video. What I find odd in the video is the fact that the gun works like a single-bolt action rifle used in World War 2 instead of a 16th/17th century musket. Sure, it's faster, but it defies logic at the same time.

P.S. Welcome to the forums, Elite_Gamer. Say, isn't that Kid Icarus from Super Smash Brothers as your avatar?

[Arbiteeri]

Hehe that whips would be awesome *Slash* Go on you stupid dog, KILL THAT.... THING?!
