| | | There was an old game for playstation called threads of fate that had two main characters a girl with primarily magic powers and a man with mostly melee attacks. the story was amazing with both the two characters fighting for the same thing for different reasons. the game was played twice once with each character with the same goal in mind but different ways of reaching it. I think this would be an awesome aspect for Fable 2. On a side note in the trailer the second pirate looking guy has what is possibly the lamest sword ever. My suggestion is NEVER put that sword in the game. |

It would be interesting to play from 2 perspectives in the game, though I'm not sure if how that would work in Fable 2. Quote:

Well, I admit, the sword does look kind of plain but by that time, the design of the swords at that period is much smaller than the swords in the middle-ages so I'm not surprised to see a sword that looks like it, though I hope that there will be good looking ones.

My suggestion is NEVER put that sword in the game. | that is a good idea and I wouldn't mind playing a game like that again but wouldn't that put a game where you pretty much do anything you want on the same track as say a game where you have to follow certain story lines to progress? if that made any sense.
I wouldn't mind being able to travel other ways besides walking and cullis gates....something like boats would be awesome. and make the weapons actually look like the weapon they are crafted after...i.e: katana looks like a pointy butterknife,great hammer looks like one of those hammers u see at the fair, and great swords look more like well you get the idea.  |

This idea sounds more suitable for a linear game like those that follow a certain story rather than an open-ended game. However, if they can make both of these characters have the freedom of doing whatever they want, that would still maintain a certain form of open-endedness but I'm not sure how this would work. In my opinion, I think they should just stick to letting you choose what character you want rather than allowing you to play 2 characters.
P.S. Happy Belated Birthday, Mandalorianx.

i think that if you want a big strong buff character u would have to work at it such as picking up big boulders remember in fable and tlc they had the different things u could upgrade well in strength it showed him picking up the boulder and if u want to be tougher u would have to fight and be able to take pain all this could be done by rappidly tapping a button like in grand theft auto and once u tapped it to the end of the bar u would restart and repeat process also i think that u should be able to smoke pipes or have jobs i heard u could be but no sure

I've seen this role-play element before in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Quite logical and very interesting indeed, this mechanic (and also quite unique too). If this mechanic was implemented in Fable 2, I think it will make the leveling up process more logical. Quote:

The most Peter Molyneux mentioned was the unconditional love feature and some tidbits related to combat and the game world.

I think they should add a feature were you can own a casino or something.....where other npc's pay to play your games...the more money you put into your casino the better the games the more money npc's have to pay to play. that would be a good mini game type thing. also make it where you can get a job or something after the game ends and you don't have any more quests to do....that way playing after you've done everything you could possibly do doesn't get boring. |

| | | I don't know if anyone ever broached the hero save issue but I do have a certain idea as to how to improve the hero save feature. It could be designed in a way like if you enter the quest area, you will be given that option only (the same as Fable's). But, instead of dying and ending up at the last world save with all the equipment you gather while undergoing that failed quest, you will get the chance to load from the last hero save within the confines of the quest area (and the items you collect after this hero save will not be there).
Just think of it like a quick save feature implemented in most games. Sometimes I'm bad at explaining something so forgive me if my above statements are hard to follow.

| | About the jumping idea mentioned here a lot of times, I would like to expand on this idea a little bit. When you come across a small ledge, walking forward will make the main character climb over it. As for ledges that are slightly unreachable, he/she should jump and grab on the ledge. Afterwards, the main character will lift himself up that ledge.
These ideas are from the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

But do you want to create fable or an action adventure game... ill challenge you to climb a ledge with a bright plate suite on.... Including the holy warrior helmet.....Good luck on it
