The more free roam thing....

suffering · 04-30-2007, 02:00 PM

When Peter said that if you leave the dog and go to a tavern or something , the dog might come scratching at the door in an attempt to get to you.

Could this mean free roaming as in really free roaming? no loadings, just you going to this place to that place without going area to area.

Who knows... It certainly wouldn't be hard to make the dog go through different "areas" or whatever (like in Fable), but with the amount of goodies being "promised" it's hard to say. I wouldn't care either way.

yeah.... and is the "crocodile-monkey" meant to be a balverine? the body looks similiar... (Arsefaces sig) they could have evolved in 500 years....

Since i got alot...i little in mind, why not add your thoughts that are related to information we have on fable 2 now. wether it be free roam to ragdoll physics...

heres a few i got in mind

The Havoc physics engine. or somthing similiar to that which is used in half-life2. They say that fable2 will use it. Possibilities -

ragdoll physics - deaths that are not animated. they just fall into any position the land makes them.
like arm is not on the cliff, the arm will 'try' to fall off as it is attached to the body. My description sounds kind of gruesome, no?

Since fables cities and towns have grown, and poverty is a main part of fable 2, maybe you can become a king, and choose to build for the people? its possible but... yeah....
Twinblades camps? could have a new leader... like... Twinblades descendant or something. big camp and such. and since they raid Oakvale alot, maybe there will be occasional raids you can join? attack or defend Oakvale... who knows...

It's actually more like a small dragon, a wyvern. It is hard to tell in that still image, alot more obvious in the trailer,

I've always thought that an awesome part of Fable I was the non-loading when you go into buildings in an already-loaded town, and it's all seamlessly connected except for the other areas (i.e. Bowerstone North to South). I hope they keep that part of it at least if they really want Fable 2 to be as fabulous as they say it should be...

My friend told me that on Xbox.com he noticed a confirmation that Fable II will not be out this year, though perhaps early next year. However, this has its plus side. With more time to develop the game, the end product will be even more amazing.

suffering · 05-04-2007, 06:55 PM

for example, halo2. and fable. 2 rushed games due to something..... was it funds?

Darg · 05-04-2007, 07:00 PM

If anyone has every heard of or played the game 'Dungeon Lords' you would understand the meaning of rushed game development. This game had the potential to be an amazing, outstanding rpg, but in the end what it came down to was that it is the crappiest, most flawed, half-arsed excuse for a game I have ever seen. Don't purchase this game unless you enjoy pulling your hair out at the sheer stupidity of the developers who led this game to ruin. Anyway, I'm done ranting now.

The only part of Halo 2 that irked me was the flood, but I just hate the flood in general. I like the idea of this dog thing though. It'd be cool it there was a mount you could buy or recieve for completeing a quest, ride along and slice peoples heads off!
