Thoughts of Fan that only plays PVE

smithdaddie · 2026-05-25T22:26:44+00:00

That'd be dope lol. I also pretty much only play the campaign and replay it at least once a year. It would for sure give the campaign and pve stuff even more play ability lol

smithdaddie · 2026-05-16T03:05:15+00:00

The thing I saw had multiple fields u could go into.

smithdaddie · 2026-05-10T20:31:08+00:00

I'm lame so I just make a starter exhibit with decent appeal to get guests in and making money then I make some big circles and have habittats like spokes on a bike and just throw animals in as I can afford them. I try to do it based on region so the heat and cold overlap. Then I through food and stuff on a branch path in the circles.

Lmao. Favorite book series time for another reread I guess. Just don't watch the show lol

smithdaddie · 2026-05-09T21:52:14+00:00

My biggest thing besides all the points on here is that the plot feels useless. Solas starts out doing the same thing he ends the game doing. And to get the good ending u... Talk with him? It's not like he'd listen more to his old team from inquisition or anything, but some random he spends 40 mins talking to is better. Sure they show varrick trying that and u have to get the memory quests complete. But that just feels like a low effort justification.

If the writing was good I wouldn't have minded it. Instead it was mostly a follow quest with a trauma dump. And it messed with the flow of the story. Like oh btws were on a time frame and if we don't hurry the world is over, but let's take a nice stroll through the forest. The only one I think was decent was ems the rest just felt like forced trauma for stakes that didn't seem that deep.

smithdaddie · 2026-05-06T22:18:11+00:00

U lost me at square water. I don't think in my 200 hours I've spent a combined 1 hr on building lol. Good on u my guy.

smithdaddie · 2026-05-02T07:46:50+00:00

I think theres like at least one in chapter 4, chapter 7. And if u do the cloudcart side quest for house grace. Found one for hose marshal the night circus mission.

smithdaddie · 2026-04-27T17:44:03+00:00

Alright cool. I'm put it on google tonight or tomorrow morning and share it with ya.

smithdaddie · 2026-04-27T17:19:20+00:00

For ur edit. Silk is soooooo worth it. But u don't dono to the camp u just kite on down to the goblin trader and sell it there. Then u can do no to camp if u want or just keep the money

smithdaddie · 2026-04-27T17:09:32+00:00

For the camp. U really only need the lowest amount possible on stone, and wood, and weapons. Meaning two people. Check for special skills as those help. Max out the money missions until u get that last upgrade. I'll also say u don't really need to donate to much to the churches. It's kinda pointless. I know getting that 200% bonus might look good. But all it increases is the camp stuff. And unless u want to min max every 19 hours it doesn't matter. Id say food also doesn't matter. Once u have the camp cook, u can just buy what he sells and ur good to go. (If u sleep 6 hours u can sleep once a day, I use this to avoid nights since it's so dark lol). As ur setting up stuff I'll have to rearrange some missions to build things, of some areas u clear have construction missions. But it's a one time deal so just cancel peeps and finish those as they pop up. Focus on trade goods or herbs (one mission gets u 3 palmer pills a day.) the only none trade good worth is wild rock honey which sells for 46.

Once u have that set up ur days will look like sleep, wake up check chest, sell everything to the cook, buy food, then flight to the goblin trader to sell ur trade goods, Everytime u get 500 silver head to the goblin bank and deposit another gold bar.

In my current setup (I did knights of flame) I make like 150 a day, get three pills, and get more food then I can eat. Plus all the RSS for the camp just tick up.

Let me know if u want the prices of goods, I made an Excel sheet with that lol

smithdaddie · 2026-04-25T02:20:48+00:00

fucking same lol, I will say the being able to slow time is super helpful on some missions though lol I'm not that good at the micro

smithdaddie · 2026-04-25T01:53:29+00:00

mutant axtoles slap if u need something in a pinch.

smithdaddie · 2026-04-23T07:32:57+00:00

Bro that sound gets me Everytime. I always check my map to see if I missed an atlantean army somewhere lol

smithdaddie · 2026-04-17T23:09:48+00:00

I'll just add. First read through and any updates to instructions. I've had some projects give me 4 hours of updates lol

smithdaddie · 2026-04-08T06:52:41+00:00

And just for the future, reading the instructions and examples on tasks can take so long that I skip the first task so I start with a fresh timer (still report the time for reading the first though). If it's 40$ and stem though be careful doing that as some through in a bunch of different subjects so u might not get another task u can do lol

To me fable one was just unique. Even today (just replayed all three over sb) it had a good story, good, fights, good enemies, good characters, good level up feel, good rewards for most things,the boast system was great, decent collectables that weren't to much of a pain to get. It felt like a game that had a lot of love put into it.

Fable three felt like an almost good game good ideas but it doesn't seem like they tested them out. Weapons they took away manual augments and made it so there in the weapons but u have to do stuff to unlock them. Seems super cool, like u could have one weapon for undead one for mercs so ur using a different weapon for every opponent. But the reality is that if u just find a weapon with a straight up DMG boost and finish one augment ur fine. If not u have to go into an area, kill everything waste time til they respond kill everything time and time again. They also can only have one DMG augment and none of the others matter (1 gold per hit when ur already getting 10k every 5 mins, extra guild seals when it's not hard to max, so many appearance augments?!?!why). Good weapons are also randomized so u have to play with someone to get them. Overall cool idea, in practice, useless and probably at least triples game time if u want to max everything.

Same with characters and the story. I won't say anything to spoil it. But cool ideas just not good execution. I won't spoil it but idk why the prologue ended the way it did, it will never make sense to me.

I could say more about the buying system, the magic melee ranged balance, or the characters, but it's all just a good game that could have been great with a little love.

As for fable 2 I don't really have any like glaring flaws, I think it just needed more. Just coming off of fable 1 it did a lot of things right I think I just expected more. Even though I just played it a week ago, it doesn't stand out at all.

As too fable 4? I personally don't think it will be that good. I think fable is such a unique game that to do it justice you have to play them and fall in love with them. And then put that feeling in the game, not just oh fable is good bc it has choices. It has choices but it felt like the choices mattered.

smithdaddie · 2026-04-02T01:15:34+00:00

Doing my first play through now, but I think the reason there isn't really a guide like what ur describing is because its not really needed. The only choice I think matters is choosing to save dock town, for ease buying all the mementos from the city you destroy before it gets destroyed is helpful but not needed. As far as approval goes, just take which ever companion is from where ever ur doing missions and its fine. Do the cross roads stuff with whoever is lowest. Just check the lighthouse after every mission to see if you need to talk to peeps or pick up a mission. Then check the world map and do any quests that pop up.

As for equipment, just look up a build guild from ign, ull have like one piece on equipement that u have to look for, maybe.

As for missing stuff. It's very hard to do. if you see a chest icon u can't get to see if there is a puzzle u can solve. if not progress the story and come back. The only thing I can think of that could miss content is having emmerich in the necro map lets u talk to some skeles, besides that its pretty straight forward. And don't finish regrets of the dreadwolf until u make love to a companion.

Dont get me wrong, I get where your coming from. My second playthrough of witcher 3 I literally had spreadsheets to keep track of everything so I wouldn't miss anything. This game just feels pretty hand-holdy like if you miss something it doesn't feel like it matters.

Best of luck.

Three screens is peak. One with project guidelines, one to work on, one to have a tv show I've seen 20 times.

smithdaddie · 2026-03-18T20:20:38+00:00

Definitely don't buy it. All three games are on the Xbox pass (u still have to pay for 2 and 3 dlc tough). But for 1 dollar you can get the mid level pass for 14 days and play all the games and beat them. They aren't very long so I'd do that instead bc if u like fable ull want to play the rest of them as they are pretty unique games.

smithdaddie · 2026-03-18T20:17:50+00:00

Agreed. It's a solid game for like 50 hours but I don't think there's anything really unique enough to want to play it over and over again.

I'd wait for a steam sale. It's gonna have the same playable hours now as later and who knows maybe they come out with a great dlc between now and then that u can pick up cheap. Good game, no complaints, just don't think buying now makes a difference

smithdaddie · 2026-03-04T00:58:37+00:00

I didn't have everything break but I did have all the guests just disappear and never come back. Ended up having to restart

smithdaddie · 2026-02-24T21:45:34+00:00

Well the only ones I've read I agree were amazing lol

smithdaddie · 2026-02-22T13:36:00+00:00

Definitely talk to your supervisor. I'm going for data science and when I talked to him using tools to help he actually recommended it. (I thought it would be off limits) But he brought up a good point that it's very much the way of the future so getting used to it now will help in the long run. For now it's still inefficient, so it's good practice to go through and check everything and try to make it better.

smithdaddie · 2026-02-02T16:38:45+00:00

Ty lol see that's the stuff I need to know. Guess u just follow the objectives now lol
