Fable Full PM-box? Change here!

quote:
Fable™ is a ground-breaking role-playing adventure game from Peter Molyneux, in which your every action determines your skills, appearance, and reputation.

Create your life story from childhood to death. Grow from an inexperienced adolescent into the most powerful being in the world. Choose the path of righteousness or dedicate your life to evil.

Muscles expand with each feat of strength; force of will increases with each work of wit. Obesity follows gluttony, skin tans with exposure to sunlight and bleaches bone-white by moonlight.

Earn scars in battle and lines of experience with age. Each person you aid, each flower you crush, each creature you slay, will change this world forever.

Fable: Who will you be?



quote:
# Forge a hero based on your actions: Age and evolve a hero or villain through the actions you choose and the path you follow—be it for good, evil, or in-between. Ply the way of the sword, and see your muscles bulge. Weave the dark arts, and witness power crackle at your fingertips. Skulk in the shadows, and watch your skin bleach.

# Engage in intense real-time combat: Collect battle scars as you duel with a world of cunning foes and deadly creatures. Master an array of deadly weaponry as you hone the art of blade-craft. Hunt your quarry using subterfuge and stealth. Weave death from the elements, as you harness the dark arts of the arcane.

# Build your living legend: Through deeds and actions, build a name for yourself across the land. Recruit allies and followers. Gain glory or notoriety. Make friends and enemies. Interact with a living world of people, places, and event all reactive to you. Hero or butcher? Who will you be?

# Explore and shape a living, evolving world: Champion or manipulate an ever-changing land with competitive and cooperative heroes, dynamic weather systems, and deformable environments. Interact with teeming cultures, creatures, and citizens from various towns and cities.

# Hone your character with scores of unique skills and extras: Master new abilities and add possessions as you develop.

# Never play the same game twice: Once you finish your adventure, go back and try the experience again, forging your character and thereby a new tale with unexpected twists and turns, new skills, powers, influences, allies and enemies.

it's not like Black and White is it? If it didn't have the real time crap in it, it might actually be interesting. I have better things to do than control stupid villagers.

Ignorant-ass 'bamas. X-box is just as capable of being a platform for a decent RPG as the PC. There is no reason why a game like Fallout wouldn't work on the X-box. And nothing I have heard said the game will be "linear and consolish."

I dare say you boys have had a heaping helping of Haterade this evening.

No they're not.

Just some of the reasons...
1. Resolution...thus you can have very detailed stat and inventory screens. You also can't have a bunch of text most of the time.
2. Market for games with choices are very big in the console world. Why do you think that plinko game is so popular in Japan?
3. If they are so capable, why aren't there more? Even Morrowind and KOTOR are lacking compared to most PC RPGs.

I've been reading the opposite at times. There are supposed to be a number of choices, but there are also supposed to be a lot of things forced and the choices don't seem that big in the real scheme of things. I hope I'm wrong though.

That is not revolutionary and does not equal non-linear gameplay.

You dont have to do any of the quests from what Ive read so far. You can wander around the world doing mini-quests for random people if you want. I cant be bothered to quote anymore, just go visit gaming sites and read about it. Its more betterer than morrowind (from what Ive read, cant really judge that until I play it though)

Yeah, but there are some minor quests you can do in some other console games too. Optional quests are necissarly linear.

Tired of ads?

I'm praying this game doesn't suck. It looks like it has so much potential to be kickass... but then again it's by that Peter Molineux guy and for all its critical acclaim Black and White was a piece of ****.

Originally this game was supposed to have multiplayer too (others could use their guys to tag along as sidekicks but not advance their story), but they took it out citing time constraints .

note: these are all pictures of how you character can look. A few of the things that affect your appearance are:

- exposure to sunlight. as already stated in the first post, the more youre in the sun the tanner you become, and your face even wrinkles faster. on the flip side if you spend more time out of the light, such as staying in the shade or moving outdoors only at night, your skin becomes pale.

- you can dress yourself however you want

- you can style your avatars hair however you want, long, short, bald. that includes facial hair.

- you can get tattoos

- use a heavy weapon and you'll get big, use a light one and you stay small.

- the most important thing is your alignment. if youre a good guy you'll look like it, if youre a bad guy you look like it. be extremely evil and you get horns, be etremely good and you get a halo.

- you can even customize your weapon (and upgrade it!)
