Custom City!

Darg · 12-13-2006, 09:33 PM

This is my first post on the Fable 2 Forums people! I would like to discuss a topic that has interested me. At one time, I had an idea come to me: what if in Fable 2, you could create your own village? Games with great amounts of customization are usually generally accepted, but imagine if it could be possible? It could also influence your allignment (i.e. whether you give generous supplies and good shelter or rule with an iron fist). Peter Molunex has promised the ability to own alot more with the coming of the sequel, such as castles, catacombs and whatnot, but imagine having control over an entire village. You could choose if you focus primarily on warfare and attacking other cities, or commerce to make money. I could very well be a possibility, but it's up to them to make it possible. Give me some input!

Number one, welcome to the forums, glad to have you hear.

Number two, I thought I read something about villages, but all I remember is that you could affect it's growth by either killing the people starting it or helping them out, so that later in time the village would blossom, or there would be a forrest because you killed them all.

I would like to have my own town though..

I thought i saw another thread on this but oh well.

I think this would be an awesome feature they should add to fable2.

They could make it where like you can make it rain alot of the time (like if your evil) or be sunny all the time (if your good) ect. Like you said.

Welcome to the Fable 2 Forums.

Thank you. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. The idea of tons of ownership in the game as Peter promised, would be interesting for many reasons, also because your city could become a key point in the main plot. Acording to new updates on the storyline of Fable 2, it appears as though the villain, Lucien, can abduct your children or kill them and ransack your house. What if the same was for your village? Depending on everything you have implimented into your piece of ground, it may be able to defend itself or crumble into dust. You may even be able to use your city as a tool for completing the main quest if you so choose to.

Awesome ideas +rep... These things i have been thinking about for a while now and over all would make fable 2 an awesome game (I think)

Also, as another feature that could be added, what if (depending on your renown in the game) the people reacted differently (i.e. if you were an evil unjust ruler, a revolt that could overthrow you, or if you were good, a price on your head from assassins in your city) and you would need to respond as you see fit. What I'm trying to get at here is that Fable 2 should have a great level of customization and choice. In my honest opinion, these are the things that make a good game.

Vegeta · 12-13-2006, 11:47 PM

I think exactly the same.

As I believe Molunex has already suggested it, there will be an online element in Fable 2. With the addition of this, you could visit a friend's city or compete with them to see who can create the greatest society. If you just plain hate them or want a challenge, you could wage war with them. This could be an interesting concept with the possiblity of warfare in the game and even commanding your own army. I do not mean to change the purpose of Fable to a strategy game though. The possibilty to create your very own city in the image of your character. If anyone has any good suggestions or ideas for what features you could include, I appreciate the support.

Vegeta · 12-13-2006, 11:55 PM

That would be cool to wage war on another city/town or maybe even state! (that would be cool if they added states)

§ephiroxa§ · 12-14-2006, 12:01 AM

these are all great you should put the in the idea wishlist thread.

Vegeta · 12-14-2006, 12:03 AM

True he should

Darg · 12-14-2006, 12:13 AM

The fact that the game its going to be set about 500 years from the orginal could spark some interesting concepts. You could be able to choose the architecture for your city, old style (from Fable 1: wooden arch beams, great stone walls, etc.) or the new colonial styles. If they took it to the extent of where you can even choose the style of your civilians, their clothes, their culture, jobs and other things as well.

Yeah I posted a thread like, but its cool. This would be an awesome new thing to put in Fable and it would be cool to rule over the people, but I think that Molyneux is going to stay focused on the story and not being a ruler. I think this would be awesome but I just don't see it happening in Fable 2

Welcome to the forums, BTW Lionhead has already made a game much like this. You may have heard of it, its called Black and White (the series)

Albion Knight · 12-14-2006, 02:48 AM

Is that what B&W is about? It sounds cool

Is there a thread on this?
