Do you want guns in Fable 2?

EDIT: Correcting typing mistakes. Just one question. Where is everyone? Feels kind of lonely here.

.....but i think the bow and crossbow will still be in the game(well i hope so)....cuz i think a gun at that time should be expensive.

EDIT: im HERE

I thought they would have been phased out by that time. Maybe you could start out with flintlock pistols at the beginning of the game. Later when you progress further in the game, you can afford to get different types of flintlock rifles/muskets (breech-loading, regular, muzzle-loading).

i hope that bows stay because the kind of guns were talking about were able to shoot abotu 10 shots a minute. whereas with a bow you could shoot probably about 30 a minute if you were good at it so BOWS BETTER STAY!!!!!!!!!

Fable with gunz would be kinda boring you might as well go play a gun game not a mid evil times kinda sorta thing. cause you every notice that in fable they dont have eletrcity or anything like ummm tehcnical and machineish Plus the fact that there way behind guns era. And all those sword swinging and bow shooting lovers yourweapons would become apsolete cause eneys dont apear 3 feeet away so if they have a gun boom the shoot you and you die and if you think you can knock an arrow before somone can pull a trigger well then call 1 800 im lighting speeed fast so if you think about whwat i said vice versa you have gun they got sword then it'd ruin the challange in the game and you'd get bored i love guns but the thing is it'd ruin all the mystacly challangy fun dont be angry of my post cause your all like i luve gunz hoora i do to but it'd ruin the game by like 50%

Ok well i did me sum searching and found out that THE NEW FABLE IS GOING TO BE BASED 500 YEARS LATER!!! Sad to say but i think its true so there going to make it colonial theme, rather than medieval. wich is kind of dissopointed to me cause i kinda liked the whole i have no brains and no technical things but i sure can wack somone with a sword and shoot pointy things at people now its gonna be all i have a little more brains and i sure can shoot people. ewww which makes me thinkwhat will the clothing look like all like colonial time clothing so im gonna wear old black clothes that are all fantsy rather then plate armor thats all brutish yea so once agian it said to say there doing it 500 years later in time

Ps sorry for my miss spelling im to lazy to retype it

What Lionhead trying to pull guns and coloniol times will completely ruin the gaming experiance. And I''ll bet anyone that they are gonna finally put some dragons in the game.

I have removed several posts in this thread. As a reminder to everyone, this thread is to discuss guns in Fable 2 so lets keep it on topic.

dark123x, please can you use the edit button to alter posts and add things to a post rather than make repeated back to back posts. Further, if the post you are about to make does not add anything of value to the topic of the thread or is off-topic, please refrain from posting it in that particular thread. If you wish to discuss dragons then it would be more appropriate to start a new thread discussing possible monsters etc. in Fable 2.

DarkOmen14, please stay on topic (which in this case is the existence of guns in Fable 2). If a subject is not covered in any other thread then please can you start a new thread if you wish to discuss it.

Thanks.

also i think that guns will be underpowered as they are in all games with guns and sword (devil may cry). this will ruin it as anyone with half a brain knows that a guy with a sword wouldnt stand a chance against a guy with a gun providing the gunman is more than 6 feet away.

i think that swords will be just as goods and this will ruin any realisticness (if thats a word) in the combat of the game

The developers could use the same mechanic implemented in the bow and arrow of Fable: TLC like headshots is an instant kill. Shooting at any part of the body may take more than one shot to bring the enemy down. And if the enemy employ the cover and fire method, it will provide some sort of challenge but I think I might have strayed off-topic here.

Well, they (the developers) could find a way to balance out both the guns and swords used in the game. After all, not all enemies will use firearms and some will just charge straight at you, forcing you to use your sword when they get into striking distance.

I think this depends on how realistic they make the guns for that time period. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the first guns took a while to reload and were a lot of hassle to use. They probably were not too accurate either compared to modern guns. If a swordsman takes cover when their enemy fires a gun, then it makes sense that they could probably make up quite a bit of ground while the gun is being reloaded. This gives an advantage to the swordsman as once they are close, the sword will become very effective.

No, as I have mentioned in other threads, guns in Fable 2 are a definite no. And unless one of the guns is a turkey cannon, I don't plan on using guns if I buy the game.

Isn't it too early to jump to conclusion as to guns not being able to suit Fable 2's setting and guns taking away the feel of Fable? In fact, why don't you wait for further details and gameplay demonstrations? At least you will be able to see them in action and let you decide if what Lionhead is doing is worth it or not.

I wouldn' t like to have guns in Fable 2 for one.. I just prefer using a sword and a bow!!!!!!!!!

At first, I was totaly aganst it. But as I thought about it, I figured that they know what they are doing. It will rule, guns or no.
