The ranged weapons are fine in fable 2 (much better than fable 1). I think that they should bring back the bow though, some people do like to be old school.

They do need a wider variety of melee wepaons however. It would be cool to have spears, dual knives and nunchcks. Also they need to bring back greatswords. I loved having a sword nearly the same size as me on my back.

Canons that you can ride, mounted on a turret and pulled by horses. They had them back then and would be awesome for messing up trolls.

Lightsabers.

... No lightsaber's. I don't exactly know what they should have depends on what age they are in, i mean you wouldn't have giant laser cannons if it's in the earlier days now would you?

[ScareCrowReturn]

Maybe you could combine Magic and Punching together?

e.g

Fireball magic, You can light ya hands on fire then punch someone?

[Vero Caerso]

Actually, thats a good idea.
I don't see why lionhead wouldnt want to do that anyway, i mean most people want more melee in fable rather than just swords and that.

gatling guns for uber pwnage...and air support rofl jk

Pilot: Sir i found the target. Shall I engage?
Sgt. Bob: Bomb the motha****as back into the Stone Age

As far as melee goes, I'd love to see the original weapon types brought back(Obsidian, Master, etc.). Also, dual-wielding would be sick; I can just imagine hacking away at a Balverine with two Cleavers. Maybe holding two of the same type of weapon could add damage bonuses? Without getting too far into the realm of Diablo, Weapon/Armor sets would be badass. Once you got every piece of gear within the set, you receive more experience per kill, more damage, etc. Combining melee with magic would be crazy as well. Like someone said above, only with weapons instead of your fists. Charging up a Greathammer with Fireball or Lightning would obliterate anyone!

In my opinion, Ranged combat was great in Fable 2; I don't really see much room for improvement, with the exception of the Sets/Charging things I mentioned above.

i want a dart gun. the smart hero doesnt have to be lethal

[Bankai! Raizan Enryuu]

This thread is from October, it's dead. Don't post here.

[Xp Mike Xp]

Mounts, Dual Weilding, Magic Punching ( Fire punches etc ), New spells like hover and different element spells, Poisoned Weapons, New melee weapons like scimitars and sythes, Can use just fists like in Fable and they can be combined with spells etc. ( Fable 3 is gonna rock either way (I am buying either day or second day of realease) ANYONE KNOW WHEN IT COMES OUT?

How would spears be silly at all? In the time period back then they would actually have been the most used, as they allowed a large range and easy incapacitation of horses and their riders which were pretty much the only threats left to long-ranged infantry back then.

WHAT?
Spears were in their prime around ancient greece. The only unit in warfare around victorian times to use spears were lancers, and they were blown to bits by cannons.

For some reason you are getting the time period wrong.
