Fable

[Willard]

Have you guys heard about the new XBOX game coming out, Fable? It's supposed to be a very, very deep RPG. These are a couple of the features:


Forge a hero based on your actions: Age and evolve a hero or villain through the actions you choose and the path you follow—be it for good, evil, or in-between. Ply the way of the sword, and see your muscles bulge. Weave the dark arts, and witness power crackle at your fingertips. Skulk in the shadows, and watch your skin bleach.

Engage in intense real-time combat: Collect battle scars as you duel with a world of cunning foes and deadly creatures. Master an array of deadly weaponry as you hone the art of blade-craft. Hunt your quarry using subterfuge and stealth. Weave death from the elements, as you harness the dark arts of the arcane.

Build your living legend: Through deeds and actions, build a name for yourself across the land. Recruit allies and followers. Gain glory or notoriety. Make friends and enemies. Interact with a living world of people, places, and event all reactive to you. Hero or butcher? Who will you be?

Explore and shape a living, evolving world: Champion or manipulate an ever-changing land with competitive and cooperative heroes, dynamic weather systems, and deformable environments. Interact with teeming cultures, creatures, and citizens from various towns and cities.

Hone your character with scores of unique skills and extras: Master new abilities and add possessions as you develop.

Never play the same game twice: Once you finish your adventure, go back and try the experience again, forging your character and thereby a new tale with unexpected twists and turns, new skills, powers, influences, allies and enemies.

Oh, and here's a link to the thing to find out more:

I have known this project about a year ago. Back then it was called Project Ego. I would buy it only if I had an Xbox. It shows much promise.

I'll believe it when I see it, or more importantly play it. I have heard many games promise to deliver a great banquet of delicious gameplay but only produce a piece of mouldy bread and a half eaten biscuit [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Still you can only hope it bucks the trend.

But they do have the same beginning and end right? Then, evidently, they are the same game.

I'm not really looking forward to this. About the only game that I'm anticipating for on the Xbox is Halo 2.

IF you ask me, its just another morrowind. But then again, Morrowind was and still is a great game.

Wasn't there a game called fable some time back on the PC? I think it was a sort of adventure game, where a world had ben split into four and you had to kill bosses in all four parts.

I'm with Nanobyte. I'll wait for Halo 2 ... and also, Starcraft Ghost, Thief 3, and Half-Life, for Xbox of course. Woo hoo!

Yes, I bought that one and played it only once. It had great graphics but the story was kind of weak. Looks like the reviews - not good to begin with - turned out to be true.

[/QUOTE]My brother has it, but I only played during one week end. good graphics really, but sometimes a little bit too hard maybe.

Isn't this the one with other adventurers doing quests? So if you say you will get old Ladies jewels back, you better do it with reasonable time or someone else will?

And I heard you can become a real blacksmith, just working in a town, buying metal, makeweapons, sell them, buy metal, make weapons. And rinse.
