Fable Frequently Asked Questions

The Lionhead Times website has been updated with an extensive FAQ for Big Blue Box's upcoming Xbox RPG, Fable. Here's a snip of what to expect:
Which weapons can I wield?
There is a huge list of weapons for you to (ab)use; over 50 different sorts of swords, axes, hammers, cleavers, bows, crossbows and also throwing potions. There is also a system whereby you can take any existing weapon and customise it.
You can also take a weapon in two hands but these weapons require strength to wield. So you need to bulk up to use those warhammers, great axes and the like...

What else can you tell me about magic?
Magic, also called '˜Will', is a particularly potent force that many players will be keen to harness the powers of. By focusing your magic energies you can invoke all manner of different spells and abilities even in the heat of battle the system is quick and easy to use. At first, you will only have the most basic spell, but through practice you can develop magic experience, which in turn can be used to acquire new spells, and improve those you already have in your repertoire.
