Just wondering how many of you guys were interested in Fable as well as Halo2. For those who don't know, Fable is the up and coming project of Peter Molyneux, and it's supposed to be open ended and "the greatest RPG ever."

RPG's are ok, I guess. The only one I liked was KOTOR...


Wait, sorry, answered the wrong question. Fable? I've heard of it. I have no clue what it's about though. Please tell me it's not cartoonish or cel shaded.

Fable lost my interest when they dumped the Multiplayer aspect.

I'm not so sure about thief, but fable isn't cel-shaded or cartoony.

Well, the character models have big hands, but they look realistic for the most part. Anyway, the general idea behind fable is: You lose your parents as a boy and your general goal is to find the people who did it. You can do ANYTHING (think Morrowind) you want and your character as well as the world around you will change depending on what you do. Be evil, you get horns and townsfolk are terrified of you. Be good you become handsome (and even get a halo of light if you're REALLY good) and the townsfolk-especially women- love and admire you. Likewise, you age in real time, get beefy by using heavy weapons, become thin and agile by using the bow, and grow old and grey from using magic.

The game has a ton of promise. There are a few small framerate issues with it right now, but those may be fixed. Unfortunately I think P-MO will have to make too many concessions to make the game actually possible to make. I think it'll be a great RPG, but I'm very skeptical about it being the best.

That sounds good, although the plot is a little stale.

Well that's not the only quest. Along the way there are loads of other things you can do along quest lines (some more honorable than others). The original plot supposedly gets thicker the more you get into it, but it's only supposed to be something simple to give your character some drive to do something with his life. A great deal in fable will be much more than it seems.

hopefully fable will be good, because morrowind completely turned me off to RPG's

The thief series is the one that started the whole hiding in the shadows, and even hiding bodies. This one is going to expand with graphics topping Deus Ex (Thief is made by the same people). Its a stealth game that is set in a medieval world and it shows a lot of promise. The best part is that this game is going to come out 6/7 which is next month, so we will be able to see the reviews soon.

Theres cool features like, using special arrows with ur bow, like shooting a water arrow to extinguish torches that guys are holding. Grass arrows to make a soft ground for you to step on. Also the game has a city apart from the levels where you are free to roam and steal anything you want. You will live in an apartment and will have to pay your rent, but you can steal money from the guy who is renting you the place. The levels will be set in many places like huge castles and stuff like that.
