Or, Exile can hold the Hero in place with a stasis spell, and decapitate.
Yeah, I think the combat system is gonna be much better, just hope everything they say will be in it, IS in it this time.
there is no evidence that says the exile is faster than the hero.
using the game play mechanics of fable doesn't mean that the hero couldn't combat the exile at equal speeds.
for example, cg cuts in games usually show a much more agile character than in game mechanics.
and what is the exile gonna do if time is slowed? even with his force power of speed he'll being moving at a normal pace.
the hero also has assassins rush and berserk which increase his speed which he can do in the time spell which would be a blur to the exile.
and even if the exile uses the stasis spell the hero, he can still use magic. i.e. ghost swords, summons, or force push which shows no need for any kind of hand gestures or movement otherwise.
anyways, i've heard slight improvements and have seen footage myself. it looks a little better but, not much.
the coolest thing to me is the new co-op feature!
