Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
What's this thing I keep hearing about in Fable 2 where you can raise a family? I want to go destroy a village and behead some demons, not raise friggin kids.
yeah, thats stupid but it's understandable considering that everyone plays the same character. The biggest problem with the online play is that there is nothing to do in the game. The quests and enemies are effortless, so, all you will be doing is running around the world of Albion with a friend, admiring the scenery

Well at least it's good to know that I won't have to do any family crap. Anyways, I'm gonna buy this game somewhere on the weekend and I'll be playin as a bad guy first.
Its as much an RPG as Zelda: OoT was. You get to a certain part where all you've been doing is smacking the same button, opened the same chest and found a secret key, and all you need to do is wear a green hat and shirt and call yourself Link....
I think they've taken out half the RPG elements too, the leveling up stuff. You get literally 3 melee things to upgrade, 3 skill things to upgrade, and just your mana spells to upgrade.
The spell upgrade sucks ass too. Basically, you tap the button to perform a level 1 spell, you hold the button down longer to charge it to level 2 spell, and so on. Except you cant use all your maxed spells at the same time. So you cant bust out a level 5 lightning stun, then smack a level 5 fireball to kill everyone. You can only slot 1 spell per upgrade level. What this means, is that you can have either level 4 fireball and level 5 lightning, or level 4 lightning and level 5 fireball, or level 4 & 5 same spell.
So to put this into action, it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to put spells into combos, as you have to time your holding until you have charged to the correct spell. Lets say you zap your foes then fireball them. You need to hold the button until it reaches lightning, let go to do lightning, then hold it down again and wait longer to charge to fireball. Theres no spell mapping to the D Pad. I cant even seem to map emotes to the D Pad. Dont know what the **** they were thinking there.
Also, there are now 2 different moral sliders, one is good/evil, the other is corrupt/pure. Im all the way evil, and I look nowhere as badass as I did in Fable 1, so Im not sure how corrupt/pure factors into appearance.

Apparently eating meat goes towards you impure side, well done Lionhead thrust you're own opinions down the players throat, never try to control the player when you advertise choice.
also this game sounds a disappointment, a real one.
