but any ways lets talk about the games instead of the things you feel sorry aout for me ^__^ you can have more than one wife!...in my case that isnt very exciting...but for my 15 year old brother...its news for him LOL you can have more than one wife if you have them in different cities and crap, just as long as they dont fid out that your cheating on them LOL if they do find out, then you get like hero points taken away..i think and you get a devorce with them....it might be two devorces if both of them finds out....LOL i think thats kind of wierd but my brother thinks its cool... Rolling eyes

also its supposedly the best RPG game ever, though i dont know what to say, having been playing 'tales of symphonia' for a while it might be hard to beat with satisfaction but since i havnt played the game yet i dot know......any other people excited about the game by chance...?

A friend said that he was insulted by some guy ina town, so he cut off the guy's head, showed it to the rest of the towns people, and no one fucked with him after that. Ya gotta love it. I'm so getting that game once I actualy have some extra spending money. ^_^

Yeah, my friend got it the day it came out, he had it on reserve, it sounds soooooo awesome. Like everything you do, will have an effect on you; say you kick a chicken or something, that'll turn you the slightest bit more evil. Also if you don't want to, you don't have to follow the story mode, which I think is awesome! XD

YES! I got this game on release day, and it's the best RPG since FF9!!!!
I've already gotten 2 wives and 1 *(ehem!) husband! I beat my wife (not something I'd do in real life!) and when she threatened to divorce me, I cut her head off (a bit of a trick to it...). Then I could show it to people whenever I want. And yeah, I kicked a lot of chickens around, and everyone called me "Chicken kicker" and laughed at me... But it was cool cause I got the title "Reaper" and no one f*cks with me! If you have an Xbox, this game is a must have!-R

Gratuitous violence and bigamy aside, this is one of the better games I have played in a while. Not the best one mind you, becuase of a few things that just bug the hell out of me.

1) The ridiculous amounts of loading screens

2) Tiny areas to explore after said loading

3) No real way to communicate (KotoR did it muuuch better)

4) Confusing menu screens

5) Main quest is knida short

Other than that, the game is great. I love the way the townsfolk react to you according to your alignment and how you can woo almost any woman simply buy saying "Hey" and giving them exhuberant gifts. If only in real life. . .
I also like how your characters appearance changes based on how you play.

I have to be in the right mood to be evil. Like in KOTOR, I sometimes feel bad after doing evil things. Yeah, I know that sounds strange, but my concience likes to nag at me, "you shouldn'd have taken that woman's money," it will say to me, " that was her only chance for a better life and now you've doomed her to a life of poverty, or worse."

haha, me and my morals..... ^_^

Yes, I love Fable also, its a very good game. Im started out good, and got myself a halo. now ive begun to enjoy stealing. I like giving people beers so I can watch them get drunk lol! So im sorta becoming evil slowly but surely! I have six wifes.. and they always give me plate boots, and they disapear during the day... where are my wifes going! maybe i should check the pub. I am also a collector of legendary weapons since I beat the main story. I like my master sword the best, it has three augmutations i believe.... I hope you all also know how to get skorm's bow. Its very nice, and oh yes, for all you evil people! Go to the temple of avo and donate 32,000 gold. I hear you can get a mace with 200 or something damage. You might want to check some fable boards to recheck what I said.

I no longer have a soul. It has been corroded, eaten away. I am a hollow shell of the man I once was. And all because of a game called Fable.

I got the game on Monday, and literally havent slept since then. It has consumed me. I have skipped several meals and more than a few classes for the sake of this game. It is all my sleep deprived brain can think of. My mind, glazed over due to no stimulation other than that game, can no longer separate fiction from reality. Walking down the sidewalk to class, I notice everyone else is surrounded by a purple hue. When I approach them, that hue turns to green, a list of actions appear, and I can then choose to either flirt or scare them. Many girls I look at have hearts above their heads; so do some guys too. It frightens me. I find myself craving apple pie and red meat. I walk into oncoming traffic with reckless abandon thinking, Its ok, I have more than enough Resurrection Phials left. I have, on more than one occasion, felt the urge to hold my research paper (which I got an A on) aloft, high over my head for all to see. I know who hasnt seen it yet because they have a yellow question mark floating above them. I hear an old mans voice telling me to go into town and talk to the shop keeper about getting the strategy guide. I have three girlfriends, each in different dorm complexes

But I digress, Fable is an amazing game. It seamlessly blends the allure and mystique of an RPG with the chaotic action of a hack-n-slash. But this is no button masher. You must time your moves skillfully, for one wrong turn, THWACK! So long hit multiplier, good by skill points. The game fascinates me; however there are two inherent flaws. The first is that combat can be a little sporadic, especially when you have friends about. When fighting lots of enemies at once, its easy to accidentally hit friendlies who get caught up in the fray. Locking on to one particular enemy at a time helps avert this, but then dealing with multiple targets at once becomes difficult. But this qualm is rather nit-picky, and in the end it doesnt take away from the overall game play.

The second problem is something that really irks me: you age WAY TOO FAST!!! For every skill you level up, you age by 0.7 years. Starting at age eighteen, should you level up ten different skills, you will now be twenty-five. Given all the skills you have, it is safe to say that you will be a haggard old man before you are half way through the game (well, youre not haggard, but you are old). There are ways to reverse the aging process, but you either have to pay a f**k-load of money or make human sacrifices. The money one is easier because I have yet to figure out the stipulations required to make the sacrifice thing work. I would have suggested that they should have slowed the aging process down a bit, so that when you face at the end of the game, you have a few dark hairs left on your head. Other than that, the game is flawless.

But I gotta go now, damn assassins found some way into my room again

Did you all hear about a seceret quest in Fable....

I did, but no ones ever gotten to it, and the clues given by the craetors are all in a jumble.

SO if youve beaten the plot line, heres something for you!

1. Get every book and read it thouroughly, there is a code that might have something to do with the statue ...

2. Sometimes just reading the book doesn't help at all. Examine it. Look at every letter and every symbol inside each book. One book is hidden in Hook Coast which will tell you the secret of decoding different books.

3. While looking for the "Book of Decoding" make sure to "look under the sea" and maybe this will help, 5489.

4. Find the Torch that you can take from it's stand, and light a certain spot near the broken bridge. This will trigger a number of events that will lead to a mildly large secret of the game.

Now this is what was told and delivered to us, but were not sure. The bridge is of course the one at greatwood lake. You know the one thats trys to cross the waterfall but is unfortuantly broken.

I feel it was worth it, although you might want to save a few of the side quests until after you beat the main quest so you will have something to do other than just running around killing things. And polygamy. Don't forget polygomy Smile
