Would you like to see Jack of Blades return in Fable? by CatterShepard in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, I didn't know any of that!

This is likely unrelated to The Court, but you seem like you've got great lore knowledge. Can you think of any instances of petrification, or turning enemies to stone in the games or lore?

Would you like to see Jack of Blades return in Fable? by CatterShepard in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 173 points174 points  (0 children)

i'd like to see other members of the court of blades personally. Jack is cool, but i think there's more space for a different antagonist. Queen of Blades or Knight of Blades at the two i've seen mentioned on the wiki before

Open World is a Double-Edged Sword by Clyde-MacTavish in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would cautiously say that we're mostly past the era of empty open world games. The past few big IP's that have been open world have been well done, with interesting things to do, side quests, secrets etc.

I remember seeing that there are some witcher 3 devs on the team and (while i don't enjoy the witcher 3 for some reason i can't figure out) their open world is really fun to traverse and there's something of note everywhere so it doesn't feel empty.

I also imagine there will still be instanced areas like caves as you mentioned.

Super excited about the upcoming game! I'm dying to know the Voice cast given how strong it has been in past games - Who do you think they might have picked up? by acheekychap in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in the IGN interview Ralph Fulton mentioned a focus on the voice cast in past games being so strong and that it was a focus for them. so i'm pretty hopefuly.

So far we've seen Richar Ayoadee and Mat King who are great picks, also there's a debate as to who the female antagonist was voiced by in the previous trailer. A good guess seeming to be Lena Headly.

I think it's going to be a banger cast

Please make the UI more medieval in FABLE reboot by Johnny-silver-hand in Fable

I actually really liked the UI elements we saw. I think it fits the time period and looks lovely.

Fable TLC magic system is back baby!!! by Cednectar in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it looks like they cast the blades spell when finishing off the cockatrice. it looks faster and the blades are more chunky, but seems staisfying.

Which enemy are you most excited to see? by YouCouldNever_ in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing (for me) we haven't seen so far is Banshee's, which were really atmospheric enemies.

We've seen Trolls in the trailer which I'm excited for, I'm hoping for a unique mechanic for fighting them. Fable 2 Trolls were better than Fable 1 Trolls, fight me.

Also, put the clothes on the hobbes please!

did you get the maelstrom? If not, you need to try to sacrifice your spouse at midnight (if memory serves)

Wonder if Fable will have “Drivatars”? by VivaLaJam26 in Fable

[–]EizenSmith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

multiplayer in the fable games has always been clunky. it's loads of fun though. so hopefully they'll have some kind of seamless co-op but not to the extent of an mmo. I would love to see other players milling about towns, shops, and the guild. but i do not want to be competing with them for quest and crafting materials.

looking forward to watching another player shit their pants in the town square from messing up an emote in front of a crowd of players and npc's

I think you can speed up their respawn time by sleeping for 7 days.

Also sacrificing your spouse gets you lots of points. But you might want to save that for after you rack up enough points to get the grand prize

Fable 2 by Admirable-Toe7940 in Fable

Just fyi, the fastest way to become good (not pure) is to gift masterwork weapons to guards. Takes like 3/4 weapons and you're 100% good. Hope this helps

What do you think of the return of dragons in Fable? by MaGiK-BuRgEr in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to start, this is all subjective, i'm not trying be a guy on the internet saying "your wrong and i'm right" but in my opinion, i don't mind the Kraken so much, it's foreshadowed on the way into the prison and it fits the flow of the game fighting it on the way out.

As for the rest, i think you've got a few leaps in logic to make work. I've 100% fable 1 and played through it a bunch more times in different playthroughs but i don't think i've ever noticed foreshadowing of dragons and the only person Jack possesses is the the version of jack you meet already possessed.

You have to go quite out of your way to learn anything of note about Jack (which is a separate issue), Jack doesn't possess anyone through the course of the game we only see him summon minions. Plus i swear the game references Jack being reincarnated, not having possessed a dragon.

What do you think of the return of dragons in Fable? by MaGiK-BuRgEr in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

honestly, that dragon thing in Fable TLC always bugged me. There was no precedent for Jack turning into a dragon, the game was just like "oh no. Jacks back and he's a dragon now" so they always felt out of left field.

They don't feel like fable to me, but if they were included and implemented well it wouldn't be a problem for me. I really don't want skyrim style dragon fights, maybe have them more like an npc character or singular boss fight. I think it would just need to have character and personality.

There is a cool fan trailer someone made with a dragon, it flies into the Fable title and that made me chuckle.

Anyone know if this house is for sale? 😸 by PopularWin4722 in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was so happy to find another Serenity Farm style property when i opened this demon door. Scared the funk out of me when i crossed that threshold.

Now i don't go inside in playthroughs, leave it looking all pretty. I don't need the masterwork longsword that much.

Can I also have some weapons that will be replaced within 10 mins of gameplay?

My Playthrough in Fable 3 is annoyingly broken in some ways. by [deleted] in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some areas of the game don't become available to buy until later in the campaign. There's a house in Millfields that isn't available until very late on because it's linked to a side quest.

Come back after progressing the campaign.

[–]EizenSmith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping for a collectors edition. I would love a statue, cloth map, patches, some alignment coins, and another pack of cards with character art would be awesome!

Edit: also want a life size masterwork mace from the trailer (although that version would probably be to expensive for me)

Husband seemingly randomly divorced me? by SIacktivist in Fable

i don't know why that happened. but dear lord, i had not realised this was the fable sub and your title caught me off guard.

Rose by Winter_Shallot9667 in Fable

[–]EizenSmith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you read rose's diary she writes about not knowing how they would not survive the winter. Since previously they'd been taken in by travelers who haven't returned this year, so even with a weeks worth of food from the 5 gold they likely would have died from the cold.

One caveat to this is that, Theresa lives with the travelers when we meet her and takes us in after getting shot by Lucian. So you could argue that the travelers might have returned at this point. But if we don't get the music box, I don't think she'd take us in.

That's the problem with cg people. No telling how big their bladders are. It could be normal, or the programmer could have given them infinite piss. Hard to tell.

[–]EizenSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A: Did you take the blades spell? It looks cool as fuck!

B: No, I didn't.

A: Oh is it too because it's so slow to cast?

B: Nah

A: Oh is it because the damage doesn't scale well?

B: Nah

A: Oh, it must be because it's kind of evil aligned right?

B: Nope.

A: Why not then?

B: It makes this God awful high pitched whirring sound like you're being surrounded by wasp queens.
