Do you want guns in Fable 2?

I thought people wear bullet-proof armour as a result of guns (in real life)? I respect your opinion but I still don't understand how armours become useless after the introduction of guns. Could you elaborate a bit more, please?

We wear kevlar vests, which protect against some bullets some of the time. We stopped wearing armor when guns were created, because bullets pierce armor. That is the reason you don't see soldiers now days with armor covering their entire body or shields to block bullets, it is because anything durable enough to block bullets would turn the soldier into a paper weight. That and we can always create stronger guns or use bigger/more-dense bullets if armor were suddenly strong enough to block the bullets.

Edit: Good examples:

If you're american, you should have no trouble picturing soldiers from the civil war. They were wearing no armor, whatsoever. Kevlar vests hadn't been invented then and any armor they could've worn would've been pierced by bullets.

If you're european, perhaps you can picture a 16th century fencer who focused on speed and light weight swords instead of wearing heavy armor and powerful swords that can cut through it. This is because armor became in disfavor by this time. Guns had something to do with it. At least, that is my understanding of it.

Hmm, good points you brought up there. Flexibility and mobility could also have played a vital role as to why heavy armours and weapons were no longer in use. By that time period, the armour suit consist of a helmet, torso, arm piece and leggings only and it didn't cover the whole body. Not to mention how light they became by then.

I think guns would be a good addition due to the time period it's set in. although I hope they keep the bow, and make the guns like the single shot muskets, no clips, or revolvers.

You know even though this is really a different type of game in every aspect the Final Fantasy series managed to incorporate swords and guns (allbeit the swords were futuristic) but my point is It's possible to incorporate guns with the original weapon types and not throwing off the feel of the game just as long as the guns match the time period and are not cumbersome and a challenge to use but I really have to play it to see how is worked into the game

i dont really want too many guns. id like to retain the idea of bows and arrows for ranged equipment. if we had like 20 different types of guns, its would turn out to be something like a fantasy medal of honour. i think that on the spells list you should also be able to transform into something of your choice

im probebly going out on a limb here and take quess that this poll was made in ohh lets say 2006ish or maybee a little later but if you hav seen the trailer u in fact do get gunz not to mention the posible gender choice funktion so in conclusion yes we should hav gunz cause there already in there

Not exactly, unless if Lionhead decided to give guns the ability to shoot more than one bullet but I highly doubt they are willing to do something like that.

If the guns were not over-powered(like if you get hit with a shot, YOU DIE!) But if they are equal, or a bit stronger then a crossbow, it would be a great improvment.

but wouldnt it be confusing and take a long time to choose a kind of bullet and load the gun at the same time by then youve already been attacked by some guy with a katana or somethin

Unless the devs allow guns to be augmented, then it isn't necessary to go through bullet selection. Given that it is possible with bows, I wouldn't be surprised if this is repeated with guns.

This is a thread to discuss whether or not people want guns in the game and was started before guns were confirmed. There are always going to be aspects of a game that some people do not like or agree with. What is the harm in people voicing this as part of a discussion regarding that issue?

[Wakatishy]

Considering in fable1 holding the bow longer made it stronger shot how would they do that with a gun? I guess we'll all just have to wait and see . Im sure that it will be a good game if the guns suck or rock.
