I think instead of already giving you all kinds of ammo,you should be able to put augmentation slots on your guns,like they did for weapons in Fable and Fable:TLC. But I do think that the colonial theme would kill the idea of magic in the game. (Sorry if I'm getting off-topic)

I think having augmentations in guns would most probably be good, considering that bows have augmentations in Fable: The Lost Chapters. Same mechanic. Since it worked fairly well in Fable, it wouldn't hurt to have it in guns as well. About that idea of having different ammo in guns, I brought it up a while back because I thought that it will give the game some sense of logic.

True...but there's alot of magic in Fable,and not all things would make logic sense...like being able to shoot lightning from your palm.

Well, Fable is a fantasy game so things like that are expected, so magic will surely be in the game. But, let's get back on topic here. This thread is meant to discuss whether you want guns or not.

if they did it right, i mean they could very easily mess up fable 2 with guns, but also could make it funner at the same time, its up to them on how they want to make it, but that would be a cool new idea to fable, i mean its already fun and guns in it would make it fun to some people but most people just want to chop people up with swords and big axes.

I think this will require a balancing act on both guns and swords. This is my main worry for Fable 2 as well. In Fable: The Lost Chapters, even though I maxed out the skill ability, I rarely use the bow and mostly use the sword or any close-range weapon to attack enemies. I sure hope that Lionhead will be able to balance both these weapons out in order to give the player more incentive to use both guns and close-range weapons.

If they do put guns in, they should be more powerful, but FAR slower than a bow.

I agree,but I wonder how far they will be able to shoot. The bows and crossbows in fable and Fable:TLC always went straight down if they went a certain distance without hitting something. Rounds shot from a gun will usually go really far before falling to the ground.

I agree. Guns at that time period are cumbersome to reload and it takes time to do so but the advantage is that it is further than the bow and is more powerful. The question I had in mind is whether it will be a good idea to add rifle scopes for more precise aiming?

Can't agree more. You're right about scopes. They don't exist at that time. As for small glasses, are you referring to magnifying glasses? I think that would be a much better and logical alternative to the scope.

I understand. It's a small blade at the tip of the barrel for aiming. Don't know what is the exact term for it. Had to look around for some info.
