Or, for something that I think would look a hell of a lot better, as well as more realistic... wait for it, wait for it... a musket or rifle with a bayonet! Something that really exists, too.

I mean, a sword with a pistol in the hilt would be both really unwieldy and be very hard to make, from a reality perspective. Also make it harder to reload, again from a reality POV, since presumably (from the look of the game) it'd be a muzzle loader. You'd have to balance it on its side with the blade sticking out and pour the powder and the shot in.

(Um... I just realized that that sounded kinda rude. Please don't take offense. I'm not sure how to rephrase it...)

You know, they do exist.

Mmm. Yes.


It'd make an interesting scene if a mugger approached you with a normal sized dagger, and you pulled that, aiming at him like you would a normal gun.

Sorta reminds me of that Crocodile Dundee scene where he is about to get mugged like that, but he calmly reaches for his belt whilst saying "Ya call that a knife?!" as he pulls out his huuuuge machete.

Duh.

That's like saying an old Spitefire Fighter is over-rated because it would get shot down far too easily by today's cutting-edge jet fighters...

These are the sort of guns Zorro would use... or pirates!

I dont care if there outdatted, owning one would rule.

I could see pirates using those to, or the modern bandit; first he stabs you and when ya try to run *bam* shoots you in the back.

I... I... was wrong!!! They do exist.

I do want to say, however, that most of those seemed simply to be pistols with huge bayonets shaped like knives and hatchets, and I stand by my reality-based statement that those'd be somewhat finicky to load, except maybe the hatchet one. "Gaaah! I just slit my own wrists trying to reload my own damn pistol!"

I'd also still rather have a bayonet on a rifle. After all, why go for a penkife when you can have the machete?

Because you are a sneaky rogue/assassin, not a rifleman. With those pistols you've got one shot, and if you don't kill your target, you kick their **** with the blades á la Assassin's Creed!

spears, magic staffs, giant hammers! claws

[Tsuyu]

Brass Knuckles! The unarmed fighting in Fable was... lacking. So Brass Knuckles ranging in whatever quality the other weapons are (Iron, Steel, Obsidian ect ect) would be awsome.

And maybe the Fist Figther Gang survived through the ages, and when you best all of them this time around they'll reward you with a pair of Legendary Brass Knuckles!

Exactly! Those old style guns suck, the only way I'm using a gun in Fable 2 is if they are more modern... Which they won't be, so it looks like I'll be going with good ol' swords and bows. I don't really see why they'd need bigger swords though. I always thought the greatswords were big enough.

[Albion Knight]

I'd like a whip that would be wicked fun especially if you could use it to knock things out of peoples hands etc. it would go with the whole interactive environment thing

[TRA Rotid]

The whip-sword weapon that Ivy has in Soul Calibur is wicked. But it`d be too difficult to but it in a game such as Fable... and using it would also be kinda hard I think.

[Darg]

Haha! Tsuyu to the rescue of my ideas. I knew they existed somewhere, but +rep for putting up the sweet pics anyway.
