AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TIS HERE!!!! HEEEE HEEEE HEEE EHEEE HEEEE HEEEE HEEEE! I went and picked up me copy of fable like.... ten minutes ago... and i must tell you.... for the eight minutes of game play I've experienced... This game is Godly. I never thought i would have sexual thoughts about a video game before.... But i realize I am now.
A friend of mine is also intending to grope her TV until she's done playing with it. I also intend to watch Posts: 1261 | Registered: Apr 2004

You must tell me if it's good! I read an article about it back when I was dating my geeky boyfriend with all the consoles, and the article so captivated me that I've been looking for the game to be released, even though I have no means to play it! (I am a silly, silly girl)

I heard it came out yesterday. Shame I don't have a console to play it on either. But as I said, I intend to watch some of it at least.

Wow, this game appears to come very close to mimicking real life, with the amazing attention to detail. In fact, one would wonder why one can't get the same satisfaction from real life.

Because in real life, you can't hit the power button and start over. And your control over who and what "you" are is more limited than what this game offers.
It's part of the reason geeks and freaks turn to sci-fi and fantasy to begin with.

See, I made a weird self-discovery while playing Harvest Moon. I realized that the key to doing anything fun in the game is to hurry up and do your chores early so that you get paid on time and have spending cash. It also helps to have a schedule and do everything right on time, bang, bang, bang, so that you have time at the end of the day/season for the fun stuff.
Then it occured to me that I was doing the same monotonous chores "day" after "day" such as get up, hug dog, feed cows, milk cows, brush cows, feed chickens, brush horse, water veggies, harvest veggies, get honey and apples, and go to bed. Then I would start the whole process over again.
Then I compared the fun of Harvest Moon to my own life, and realized that if I could apply that same "chores first" mentality to my own life, I'd much more enjoy the fun stuff I get to do and goals I reach when it's over, not to mention I would reach the goals faster.
Of course, the result is that I have less time for video games. Posts: 6367 | Registered: Aug 2003

heh. I like the coolness of Fable. Like... you can walk over the same spot of green grass over and over and over again and soon, it'll turn brown. Or you can stay out in the sun too long and get sunburned... or you can eat too much and get fat. yummmmy to FABLE!

To be perfectly honest, it sounds like my kind of game. But, like Bev said in the Sims thread, I can't play it or my life will suffer. (Actually, I believe she said her kids would die. )

Just thinking the same thing, Marlozhan. I actually started a thread at my site to convince me to buy a console so I can try this out. The Xbox would be the one I'd least like to get though...

So with the attention to detail, do wife 2 and 3 ever notice your slackening vitality, wise up, and come after you with a box cutter?

not box cutters, no.. but the will divorce you, if the laws of that certain town say you have to be monogomous. This can be stretched, though. Say you're a tirant. Or a dictator. Or eveil beyond all belief. You can have like... 38 wives in the same room and although they'll fight each other for your affection, they'll never come after you because, after all, you're evil as hell and you can kill them eassily. They don't want that. And each wife is different. Sometimes you'll find out that THEY'RE cheating on YOU. Endless possibilities.
I bought an XBOX solely for Fable. Yeah, Halo is fun and so is Knights Of The Old Republic. But i got one for Fable.

I don't know why but I can't seem to stop connecting this game with Link and the Zelda games..
How much can you change the character's beginning looks and such? and name? - I'm really interested about those kinds of options in the beginning.. can you die from old age?
posted
Yeah, I'm thinking of getting an x-box just for Fable too, but I would probably also get KOTOR, HALO, Panzer Dragoon, and maybe DOA just so Fable isn't alone.

If I get this game I'm becoming supreme ruler of the universe! But seriously, is that possible in this game? How endless are the possibilities?

Seriously... you can do just about anything. Read up on it, guys.

I was thinking of buying an Xbox for Fable, but I wouldn't buy any other game. I think it'd be a waste of money.

For a really long time I avoided buying an x-box just so I could play halo because that was the only game I really wanted. I convinced myself it wasn't worth the money (although with all the time my friends have spent playing halo, it probably would have been) Now there is Fable and soon to be Halo 2. Why must x-box tempt me so!

Whether not a Buffy fan, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer game on Xbox was awesome! I had bought the system just for that (geek, I know). It has great controls, cool story and amazing gameplay. Even non-Buffy fans that played it had a good time with it. The "cheat" codes that allow player vs. player in the game were even more fun. I sold my Xbox a year ago but now regret it. This Fable sounds cool...unless it will come out for PC, in which case...feh. Got KOTOR on PC and was fine with it and Halo, while great for console, has nothing on the PC team shooters like Unreal Tourney or Battlefields 1942. Still...craving the Buffy game again and then Shenmue I am told is cool...

You don't have to be a Star Wars geek to enjoy "Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic" It's actually really friggin fun. As well as Spiderman 2 and the GTA's... but the last two options you can also get on PS2. However, there IS Halo and Halo 2 and Fable and Knights Of The Old Republic AND BMX XXX and DOA Volleyball. The last two are mostly for guys. heh heh.

Thinking about buying an xbox and wanted to know what you need to play Fable. (do you need to buy a memory card or does it save to the HD...etc) Trying to spend as little money as i can.

so, like, does everyone get called chicken chaser, or did bill manage to earn that nickname by kicking chickens?

uhm... to play fable.. you need to buy an XBOX... and have a t.v. :-D What people who've never had an xbox don't realize is you don't NEED memory cards. The xbox is exactly like a computer. you're games are saved on the console.

You know, I actually want to play this game.
But, since you saw my husband up there crying into his empty wallet earlier...I guess I'll have to wait. Posts: 3214 | Registered: Apr 2002

I've never owned an X-Box and I knew that.

This game is awesome, just rented it, but it doesn't have as much freeplay as I expected. Anyways, how do you change weapons, I old the sword you start out with and I bought a new one and now I'm stuck with my stick, how do I change to my new sword?

Press the back button. This will pull up a menu with "Equipment." Select that then weapons, then melee weapons, then your new sword to select it. This is also how you change outfits (including armor).
If you pick up books, to read them go to your logbook (also in the back button menu) and select books.
Need to get more experience? There's a spell you can purchase that will cause damage points to be taken from will instead of health. When people hit you and you're using this spell, it doesn't drop your experience multiplier. Bill's gotten into the 30's this way. The spell lasts until you run out of will or recast it. Your will won't regenerate while the spell is active, but you can still take will potions to replentish it.
Also, the potions that give you 100 exp. points in a specific area are affected by the multiplier. That's right, if you take one when you're at a multiplier of 20, you get 20,000 points. The multiplier still starts dropping fast as soon as you stop hitting things, but since you aren't taking damage, you can afford to flip through your menu and take a few potions.

i don't think that's a bug. just attention to detail. a bug is that there's a cap on how much money a property can make, but when you teleport into a city, it calculates as though there isn't.
oh, and the high for bill's multiplier is now 50.

I want to buy it...but I know I have way to much work to do in the next month...and I don't want to get sucked in. I'll likely buy it in november when things will calm down a bit.
Of course then Halo 2 will be out.
