Game: Fable for Xbox

[MiniMag84]

i haven't read a single post on this thread, but i bought that game yesterday and i've logged in 7 hours. effing awesome.

my physique is maxed out and i still cant pull out the sword . and i knew it was a short game, and i tryed to do most of the side quests. but jeez it only took me 11 hours.... oh well, it has a big replay value, especially for an rpg so i guess i cant complain. considering it took what? 4, 5 years to make it i would've assumed it take like at least 40 hours to complete. ahh well

[Miscue]

I gave it a couple hours - it's interesting enough that I want to keep plugging away at it. There are kinda sorta KOTOR elements, which I think is good. It's got your standard issue weapons, magic, items, etc. The experience system is interesting - I dunno if it's good/bad or what yet, but I think I like it at this point. It's got some funny bits, like when your first status is chicken-chaser.... and I upgraded to arseface. I couldn't figure out why the heck I kept hearing "chicken chaser..." I've been doing my missions naked... It's got some mature/dark themes, which I like. I'm not a fan of the targeting system, and how you have to fiddle with the D-Pad... but it's ok, just not great.

It's got unique and novel things about it- and I like to run across games where... I haven't quite "seen this before." Peter did some of that with Black & White - I thought he had some creative ideas going on, I just didn't have much fun with it... but put up with the game because it had good elements to it.

I am addicted to it...

I beat it on sunday, as a goody-goody spellwarrior... i had 3 wives, had sex over a dozen times, and I thought I was playing it "slow"... the ending is a bit lame... it might be better if you're evil...

started over, now I'm being evil... only a few hours in and I already have horns... its way easy to be evil... i'm trying to be more of a caster/mage this time though.. and not doing very well at it.

the evil gestures are funny, right out of Unreal- middle finger, pelvic thust, insult, glare, roar... you get all of them when you beat the game, even if you're really "good".

I am trying to figure out some other stuff right now, like how to buy a shop, and collect rent from my houses that don't have wives in them yet (havn't landed a wife with the evil character yet, but he's only 28, my good guy was 42 before i landed a wife... and he was 60 when i beat it, but i spent 4 years trying to escape from prison... that part sucks).

to buy a shop you have to... kill the shopkeep. once hes dead, then its the same procedure as buying a house. they cost about 30k and im not sure if you can do it with a bar, although i dont see any reason why it wouldnt work

[gamarada717]

Yeah, you can buy bars. The highlight of my game is when I got me and my wife drunk, had sex about 5 times, got even more drunk, and then slaughtered 3 towns. It was great. If they made a sequel to this game and made it about 50 hours at least, it would be great.

HAHA! Damn...I've yet to put more time into it but last time I played, I was trying so hard to have sex with this random chick. She was asking if we'd like to go to the inn but I couldn't figure it out...I spent the longest time trying to find out how to sleep with her...HAHA! Damn I suck!!

but last time I played, I was trying so hard to have sex with this random chick.

...I spent the longest time trying to find out how to sleep with her...

This is the most realistic game I've ever heard of!

[Fred]

Can you have sex with chicks that you aren't married to? I havn't been able to, heck, i have a hard time finding the inn in a few villages...

guess i have to slaughter some shopkeepers... hehehehe

My goal for my current character is to get Mayor Gray to marry me...

---Fred

[Miscue]

Yeah, what's the rules on who you can sleep with? How many wives can you have? What results in divorces?

I found it kind of disturbing that you could pursue relationships with dudes. So the crusader to save the world, can also be another type of crusader.

[gamarada717]

Marrying Gray is easy. I'm pretty sure you have to be evil, haven't beaten the game with my good charecter yet. One part that I had trouble with was finding the necklace. I could never get her to have sex with me though, I would even give her diamonds and every gift imaginable, yet she despised me. So I beat her. And we divorced. The best part of it was that I got 15,000 gold because of it all.

Oh, and Miscue, I think that you can only have one wife for each town (because you have to buy a house to get married, and I think they find out if you have more than one in a town). I didn't lose any money in my diviorce, I don't think. With the sword of Aeons, slaughtering towns is so much more fun, because everything dies in one hit

[Fred]

the Sword of WHAT? Where and how do i get it? or is that THE sword that I threw into the abyss the first time around?

you can have 1 wife for each house i think... so that would be 4 (unless there are more houses that I havn't found yet).

The necklace is buried between the two boats on the beach, you have to listen to the two guys in the cemetary for a few minutes to hear them say where they hid it.

Hehe! Believe me, even TDS wanted to see me sleep with a chick! What a gal!!!

[Bulldog]

Hehe! Believe me, even TDS wanted to see me sleep with a chick! What a gal!!!

Wow! And she plays paintball too!!

[Fred]

bump...

I found a cheat to get infinite silver keys...

you have to be on the save Jimmy from the Hobbes mission..

Take the quest, go to the Rose Cottage, it autosaves when you enter that area.

Dig up the Silver Key in the garden, talk to Grandma...

Leave the Rose garden, and go to another area where it threatens to reset your quest... say OK, and it puts you back at the entrance to Rose Cottage... with the same amount of keys you had before the reset...

Repeat the process until you have 30 keys... the highest chest i've found requires 25.
