Rant aboutfable 3 (MAJOR SPILERS)
15 years ago
So last night I went out and bought fable 3, and what a fucking surprise I beat it in less than a day.
It's sad to say I liked fable 2 more than this, and what pisses me off is there is even LESS to do once you go though your "year long" quest thing, that was all of like 5 quests long.
At the end of fable 2, yes it had a shitty ending, with no end boss. However, there were still worthwhile quests you could do, and you can continually get exp and upgrade your character to your hearts desire. NOT in fable 3 though! I mean, they dumbed it down, and gave you such a literally limited number of guild seals((It's exp for those who have not played)) (I'm not doing like 20 shitty, 5 seal quests to muster up the remaining 100+ seals I needed to get my last few upgrades, nor am I taking to EVERY single person and giving them a hug to get 1 seal from them)
There is really very little point in buying tons of real estate, unless you want to really grind out shitfucktons of money to not be forced into bad decisions to save the kingdom. I mean they really forced your hand, if you wanted to be the 'good guy' that people like you'd have nothing to defend yourself with, and you were a complete asshole if you wanted any amount of defense funds.
Example.
Keep promise. ( minus 500k from your defense funds)
Break promise (Add 200k to defense funds and be an asshole)
There is no nutural options, well there were a few, like rise taxes, lower takes, or keep them the same. But rarely did they give you a neutral option.
I mean, the early and mid game content was full of battle, and was not horrible, but for the most part you never really feel like you make complete game changing decisions Most of it is "meh" at best.
I am very unsatisfied with this game, though it was a tolerable playthough, I'd go back to fable 2 anyday :/
This was not worth my $65, and I'm going to gamestop to return it for every penny I can get out of them.

FA+

I'll probably read it this evening.
BUT:
I did want to ask how Halloween in your suit went [:
Did you get to give all the little kids of the night hugs? :P
We did go to a extremely lame party, with a grand total of 2 awkward people, we left in like an hour, and ended up going home. However monday we went to Starved rock and it's surrounding parks and climbed shit all day. Then Tuesday we went to the sanitarium, which is in lockport. That was a blast, more climbing, and exploring, we even found a old, used 12gauge shotgun shell xD
It seems as though tehre were few kids on this side of town too....
I guess I was at work for a good jist of it though... who knwos.
At least you guys had some fun somewhere:D
And, shells are always niffty.
Gata bit of a thing for metal objects -shrugs-
