Ideas/Discussion for Fable 2 ***NO SPAM***

[Johnchristie]

i dont know if anyone has thought of this yet, but it is something that has been bugging me, two things actually.

Id like to see a 30 second (or higher) time limit to get out of a shop or house once the guard announces they are closing, im tired of paying fines because i couldnt get out in a split second.
and id like to be able to actually give health potions to people who needed them, it would make alot of missions quite a bit easier.

Read the majority of posts, and some very good ideas. Anyhow, heres a few of my own..

Longevity:

This seems to be everyones main request, and I agree 100%. Longer story, more quests, and so on.

Weapons:

Anyone who has played NWN, or more specifically used the toolset, will recognise this. Each weapon should consist of a few seperate parts. For example, a longsword should have a handle, hilt, and blade. Each of these parts should have a few different models, and each of these models should be available in a few different colours. Now, when you buy a longsword, it would be generated randomly. This would give much more variation, and could also be applied to NPC's, so a group of bandits aren't all weilding the same weapon. Legendary weapons would be an exception to this, and should remain one-of-a-kind models. Also agree with adding more weapon types staffs, spears, flails etc.

Armor:

Along the same lines of the idea for weapons, generally more variations. However add the ability to buy suits of armor together, as well as keeping the option to buy parts seperately. Buying a suit would give you an armor of matching colour, items bought individually would be of random colour/model. Add more clothing along the lines of the villagers clothes, no protection, but comfortable enough to sit in the tavern all night. Dress clothing for those fancy occasions. Shields are a must, from buckler to tower.

Combat:

I thougt that the combat system in Fable was excellent, And nothing major should be changed in this area. However I can think of a few small additions. A lunge attack in melee (Idea gotten from Whisper's flying kick). This could change depending on weapon. Parrying ability, could be as simple as hitting a key as you block an attack, or timing your attack as your enemy strikes. This would un-balance the opponent and give a free attack.

Abilities:

More, lots more. Add some area effect spells, cover an area with a blizzard? Create a wall of fire to stop your enemy advancing? Not sure how to incorporate this, possibly use a method simmilar to a bows manual aim. Possibly gain special melee attacks, which would be used like a spell, from extensive melee battle?

Battles/Wars:

Have seen this idea posted a few times. I think when in one of these epic battles, our renown should affect what you can do, starting out as a mere soldier, then with higher renown, becoming a commander etc, being able to give orders to the other soldiers

Learn A Trade:

This would fit in with the weapon/armor system I mentioned earlier. Learn the ways of weapon and armor smiths. Once learnt, you would be able to visit a smiths and customize/create your equipment, choosing the colour/model of each part.

Ok.. first of all.. more quests! the gameplay is too short.. include more twists like maze or the guild master dying.. have more complicated and detailed cities and NPCs and actions...such as allowing the hero to talk... showing dirt when digging in the ground.. mayb have like underground or underwater cities. allow us to customize our heros a little more such as colours of hair,skin,eye,etc.. and the aging process should go along with the storyline instead of experience.. have experience spending be done anywhere. maybe get turned into a balverine for a couple of days if one kills you.. different races would be great instead of just humans which is boring. include more arenas instead of just one.. also more items such as staffs and sceptres, halberds,shields legendary weapons have special attacks?.. have capes too.. for skills.. maybe jumping would be nice, dual wielding and sword-shield wielding.. allow us to cutomize our own attack combos.. mayb a sword+bow attack combo.. Horses to buy and ride! that would be awesome.. alowing us to craft our own armours.. weapons.. oh yeah.. freeze or set our enemies ablaze or electrify them for them to get continuous damage.. speaking of that.. more powerful enemies and bosses would be nice.maybe special schools in strength,skill and will to join so that we can have bonuses in these areas. instead of calling it heroes guild,give it another name and have different guilds, like in the beginning of the game, instead of maze coming to take you into his guild, more guild leaders will arrive and we can choose which guild to join.. maybe have guild wars too.. online play would be great too...

I think the clock has to be better explained. I mean to get skorm's bow I need to know the hour and it's impossible to guess the hour with such a clock. Ps: can some one explain me how it works please, any help to drew_1992@hotmail.com


thanks

I think that fable 2 should let you roam around and pick boy and girl characters. And make your own armys. :

The person that sent the eariler message with my name was my personal sister and best friend, Keli!

Now about my original ideas for the game, Fable 2.

Fable was one of my most favorite games of all time. Seriously! I felt like I could do whatever I wanted. I had fun playing it! However, there was a couple of catches about the game itself.

First, the game was awfully short! What I wanted was maybe about way longer than 70 to 110 hours long, just like an rpg game( or have 55-70 story quests, 90 side quests, and lots of other quests.)

Second, many people wanted to have either a selection in which you either you become a male or female. What I was thinking was at the very beginning of the game, you can select your gender and you would have the main character of that gender you selected. That way, it would satisfy both guy gamers and some female gamers.

Third, while I walked around the towns and everything, I've been wondering... why can't we destroy buildings!? Think about it! If you were evil and you wanted to dominate the world, instead of the cheap way Fable did it when you earned the most powerful weapon yet everything seems normal, you would want to either force the villagers to give up their village, or... blow it up! And then force them to make them your slaves and build your own buildings like a bar, shop, or any building you want to build your own empire of Albion! Mwh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! (I just wanted to do that. Sometimes, I usually have some evil ideas. Tee hee!)

Fourth, you know the good old Arena in which you battle against monsters for your life and to earn some nice good, cold, hard cash and many other prizes? Or I would like to say in the Albion world... gold. Well, here's my question... why can you enter only once during the entire game?! Why!? It would've been a lot better if you just can enter the Arena and earn some gold as many times as you want to. Come on, man! You have the whole world for yourself! You can at least enter to any building as much as you want, any competition as many times as you want, etc.

Fifth, more selection of weapons, armor, and new equipments, shields, and capes. I heard people talking about them while looking at the forums and figured that it would be awesome. I mean come on! You only have what just a few kinds like Bright User's Will Robe, Plate Armor (my favorite), etc. Why can't we have new armor like maybe when you first start off Guild training wooden armor, or like that one guy said Magic Armor, or this one I had an idea of... Dragon Armor! Another thing, if they have legendary weapons like the Harbinger, Skrom's Bow, and finally my personal favorite, the Sword of Aeons, why can't we have legendary armor or shields or capes? Speaking of weapons, I also heard that they want more weapon varieties, so I would have to go with them. Swords are my favorite, but I figured that trying out new weapons wouldn't be a bad idea. Like, if Whisper had a spear, how come we can't? Huh? If Thunder had a shield, how come we can't have shields during the game? That's just not right! Now, some people said they wanted to have dual weapons. I figured it would be cool, but there may be some catches about it. But I guess it's a game of whatever you want to do, so be my guest! Capes would look awesome on the hero. Seriously! Why couldn't they come up with it in the first place? Oh yeah, some special armor, weapons, shields, or capes may have special effects on you when you put them on. Another thing (sorry for making this part so long), why can't you sell what ever weapon, armor, and all that in shops? It's a free world, isn't it?

Sixth, lots and lots and lots of monsters to fight against. The monsters in Fable were pretty fun to kill, especially the White Balverine! But, you know, they need to add more monsters in it. Have all of the monsters from the first Fable come in and just add like 100 new types of monsters. It'll make things more challenging and more fun!!! Especially have dragons in it, please! I love dragons!!!!

Seventh, more, bigger, harder, and better bosses! The bosses in Fable were pretty good, but I think they can do a lot better than that if you know what I mean. I liked the Kraken boss in Fable. That should be one of the bosses in there. Also, have some new bosses in the game like 25 bosses or if you like have close to every story quest to have a boss to fight against.

Eighth, let me put this in simple words... can't the hero talk more than a couple words. Seriously! I think it would need a voice.

Nineth, instead of having like just a simple path that leads to a certain place, they need to try to make it like that one guy saids like Grand Theft Auto series. I mean you can have pathways to places, but they just need to be a little bigger to travel, you know? That way we would have more excitment in the game. Like maybe they should have the option in which you can camp anywhere you want when you want to rest for today. You just might need a tent. Hopefully, they do come up with the tent idea of what I just said.

Tenth, my cousin didn't like rpg games that much. But man thanks to me, he definitely loves playing Fable! He loves to destroy stuff and everything. So obiviously, that's his favorite rpg game so far. Anyway, my point is, one of his favorite things to do was fishing. I like the fishing game play and all. It's just... why can't the fish look more like Large mouth bass or catfish or trouts. Come on! They look like goldfish (That's what my cousin always said). Oh yeah, I figured if you can fish, why can't you hunt oridinary game like deer, elk, etc? I figured it would be a fun activity to do during the game while you're not doing anything.

Well, I guess that's it for today. I discuss the rest tommorrow! Until then, see yeah!

[shadowkon]

i would also like it if you could have children.It would be nice if you could actually meet these so called gods as well.and i would like it if you could custom make your name thatz all thx

[Arivanth]

What!

[Droideka1179]

Here is what I think they should do for Fable 2
1. You should be able to obtain the guild, either by killing the guild master or inheriting it in some other way.
2. They could throw in some new clothing such as capes, and shields.
3. There should definatley be some expanding of the main quests (by at least fifty hours or so).
4. Another main point would be to be able to play the arena mulipule times.
5. There should be some new Heros to interact with.
6. They could easily find some new regions to create, with bigger towns.
7. Your charachter should be able to age more naturally, every ten hours you gain a year.
8. A big focus would be a neutral path in every quest, so there would be no good and evil.
9. They might be able to make creatures that you can ride on horses, dragons, etc.
10. They would have to make a spear, and not add weird new weapons like the pickhammer.

Okay Capes are too far.I say no spears coz then youd have to change the way you fight.duel are okay but make it it has to be the same weapons coz if not youll ruin the game by making it too easy.

I think you should be able to create your own armour and mask but with a catch you cant change to something else.Oh and your own sword .To make your own armour and mask and ect. you could use other types of armour as templates or something like that.

and riding horses is just gay it would ruin the whole magical aspect of the game.It would be best if you did'nt change anything really except new quests and cutumize armour .it would be nice if you could be a girl though it would encourage girls to play thus increasing fans(and money).

It would be cool if after you completed the game you could become a teacher in the guild thus passing your knowledge on to the next generation.

It would be cool if you could go online in all platforms as well that way people could test each other's skills against one and other.

and it would be better if you could have a wider range of names as well.
OTHER THAN THAT ITS ALL GOOD.

[noloser]

1. Add names to all the NPCs would be great, can't regonise who is who all the time.

2. Of course longer game play with story and hero continue from fable 1. would be great if add more complexity in the game, like have two path equal to two different endings instead of one.

3. Add companion system, or at least have more interaction with your bodyguard. just make them more important and can influence the story or quest a bits.

4.There is losts of expression in fable, but many of them don't influence the game much; make those expression into more uses.

[Rigor Mortis]

this is what's bugging me.

remember when you get yourself a bordello and the fat lady wanted it to be a refugee for women? ugh i wish i could make it my hero's personal harem without the old woman and the fat lady of course. so if there will be any bordello again in the next fable please consider that, for those who don't want to do good deed but don't want to share the girls in the bordello with those filthy villagers.

just a thought..

[Gamer3000]

I know this game it extremly customizable already but I would really like to see more customizable options for making your own weapons and cloths.
same with your character (sense its going to be made for the 360, that should be a problem or for those console gamers)

I thought Fable TLC had a tattoo custom option in the end but i havent seen it. so that would be great as well.

ill edit more stuff in as they come to mind

[MonkeyShaker]

i have 3 things which should be added to fable 2
1. you should be able to choose your sex
2. there should be more then 1 guild maybe 1 for each alignment or something
3. there should be more thing which you can use your experience with
