Yeah, so quoting someone's opinion and then posting a fairly large pic without any other text is kind of annoying, try not to do it too much, or at all, if possible. :grunttop:

The "opinion" is presented as a fact, and on my monitor the picture is fairly small.  *

Yeah, so arguing with a moderator, with a weak argument, I might add, that's always a great idea...
I simply said that there was no need to post a huge PICTURE and just quote someone else. It adds NO value whatsoever to the topic, it just takes up space. And, as much as I love completely cluttering a board with useless posts, please, don't.

So yeah, please don't post unless you're going to actually add something to the topic.

This game will, I'm sure, be a VAST improvement over Fable. Fable does not rank very high in my book as far as RPGs go.

But even then, my liking for this game is being stopped before it's out. I don't have an X360 and I really don't want to buy one just to play this when I bought a new computer about a year ago with space to spare for upgrades. Even if it does come out for PC (which I suspect it will after a few months), you just know Microsoft will be desperate to make their PoS OS successful and require Vista and DX10.

Looking at a few things I've seen about the game...

- Coop is a good idea. More RPGs need coop.
- I personally don't like the dog idea because I just don't trust AI to be watching my back. I really don't like depending on AI in any circumstance except defending my base in CTF, to be honest. Beating the crap out of it is more fun.
- NO MORE LONGBOWS!? I mean, come on! Take some ideas from Arcanum! The Looking-Glass Rifle and the Bow of Ecclesiastes were about on the same page for range! Bastards...
- Now we get to talk about sex. Ohhhh dear. Fable comes nowhere near Fallout in terms of this sort of stuff, if you ask me (and I do hope that's preserved in Fallout 3; Todd Howard said it would be) but they are indeed working to cater to reality.
- "Character morphing", aka "multiple alignments": A good thought, but I'm willing to bet it will be underused. Still, I've always liked the idea of an alignment system based on the seven virtues/seven sins.
- Titles: Apparently you can become emperor. This is something that appeals to children. A lot of you have played RPs or other such things with me and know that I hate tremendous legal power (and, hence, so does Never). Some people may strive for it, but you can bet come November, you're going to hear people at school saying "LOL I AM EMPEROR IN FABLE 2" and even more annoying versions of that statement from people online. I do appreciate that we're being given interesting sticks to go fetch, but this has gone too far, if you ask me.

So, I personally won't be buying it. But I probably will play it at some point because a friend of mine has an X360.

Frankly, though... Fallout 3 > Fable 2.

I don't really care about the sex system because it doesn't really matter. Besides, an overly elaborate system would just make the game seem like porn lol.

Really, even though I respect your opinion because what you say is not untrue, most of the stuff you mentioned is no big deal. No long bow? So what, its just one weapon and it doesn't fit with the time period anymore. The whole emperor thing seems like a very little thing to get frustrated with as well because as you said you can become emperor. This does not necessarily mean you have to. I'm betting they will make it so you could totally ignore the option to become emperor if you wanted to. Of course this is only speculation based off of my experience with Fable and some of the videos I have watched about Fable 2.

As for the dog thing, I can understand why you wouldn't trust the AI. However, I'm hoping the won't completely screw up the dog. I'd definitely leave it if it wasn't good.

Then again that's all just my opinion. I'm not saying you now have to like Fable 2 forever, I'm just saying I think it's too early to call it a failure.
