Fable

[Anonymous]

Well since the Review topic has turned into a free for all on
everyone's first day playing Fable, I figured it was time to start a
thread in the Tactics section. Feel free to post here any
tactical or gameplay information that does not qualify as review
material.



Note: This thread could contain spoilers!!!! :-$ Read at your own risk.

Thanks for doing this thread, Hatter.

Thank you very much to Grumpyshrapnel for all your hard work making this site great! :smt023

Somebody should amend the Fable review thread to say that it is full of spoilers. :smt093





Done

*SPOILER* Hints and Tips: Heroes Guildpre-training

<font color="#ffffff">Be sure to thoroughly explore the interior of the Heroes Guild as soon as you get there. I am doing it now, after getting my stick and performing the first quest, but before becoming a teenager and starting my training properly. I have found some interesting items!</font>

Heroes Guildpre-training

<font color="#ffffff">Interesting! I actually skipped through most of the training cause I thought it was moving slow....I assume all of that stuff is still in the Heros Guild though. So I'll go take a look around.

Can I just write in white text from now on? This is fun!

Can anyone else read what Wolfrat and Hatter wrote? It's coming up white text on my cpu. I'm interested to here what you guys have to say. Can you repost?

He did that on purpose to protect people who may not want to read any
spoilers (eg, me). Just 'select all' and you'll see the text get
highlighted and it should be readable.

[ZenReaper]

Thanks, Circ. I actually like the way they did that. It keeps you from stumbling on to a spoiler. I'll need to remember to do that in the future.

OK, HTF: do you get a tattoo on? and what do you do with all the books and other shit you find.....How do you read them?:-k I can't figure it out! I finally got my hair cut from a barber, so how do you get a tattooist to apply a tattoo? Hmmmmmm...:-s

[Anonymous]

After seeing everyone else doing evil, I kind of decided to go the good route. I got prety damned far and have the beginnings of a halo, but I have a few questions if anyone made it to <font color="#ffffff">Witchwood. Not sure if that's a spoiler, but better safe than sorry</font>.

1. Does anyone know where to find Bright Plate Chestpiece and Bright Plate Helm? I think you can getthem in <font color="#ffffff">the Arena, but you're not allowed back in there after you beat it</font>.

2. Does anyone know how to increase your bulk? (Get bigger). The physique stat doesn't do it... maybe eating/excercising?

3. Does anyone know how to <font color="#ffffff">remove Huw's Sword from the stone. Is it just a physique thing?</font>

[NEFARIOC]

You're further than me....I just made it to witchwood. I saw the bright plate somewhere...:-k Damn, I can't remember! I know your toughness makes you bigger and I've been eating a shit-load of redmeat.....:smt001

[Anonymous]

Nef tattoos work just like that haircuts do. As for all those books I dont know what to do with them either.

Do you guys know how to imbune your weapon with the magical shit?(Lighting, Fire, ETC.)

Oh and here is something for tou guys to compete with, I owe 169,000$ in oakvale because I sat there just killing guards and anyone else who walked by. :smt074 I guess that is a good reason why they dont give me more evil points because im so evil to begin with :smt077.

Allright here is a *spoiler*<font color="#ffffff">The rock door thats says you have to do something evil in front of him opened for me last night because I was just that evil. He even called me master before he opened his door. Inside tou will find a kick ass pick ax that is light weight and a really really good weapon.</font>

[Anonymous]

"Back" button. Second option from the bottom if memory serves me correctly.

[NEFARIOC]

Cool man....I got some reading to do! Thanks.

[Anonymous]

Ok, along with Nef's question. You find Tattoo and Haircut cards all over the place. When you go to your inventory. Equiptment &gt; Items &gt; Others they are all listed here (as well as your books and lantern, etc) but you can't do anythign with them. Whenever I go get a haircut or Tattoo I have to pay for it.

Does anyone know what the fudge the cards are for?

[NEFARIOC]

Exactly! How do you add a currently owned tattoo?

[Anonymous]

Nef when you talk to a tattoo guy see what he has to sell and you tattoo cards should be in there for you to get a tat with plus some extra ones you can choose from.

Dr.Scares All the cards work the same way if you have them you can get that haircut beard tat or whatever.

But then why does it give you options for haircuts or Tats for cards you don't have? It doesn't make sense.

Ok so how do you know which ones you already have....You just have to remember?:-k Cause when I talk to him and look at the tatoos, they all say "buy" next to em. Even the ones I already have.....so I still have to buy'em?

[Anonymous]

Scares - Once you find a tatoo artist or a barber, the style on the card will be available to you for purchase. The card doesn't mean it's free, it just unlocks it. <font color="#0000ff">It makes sense to me that a tattoo artist would have designs in his portolfio before you come to him with an idea.</font>

<font color="#0000ff">Nef - Yeah, you just have to remember which ones are new or check in the Logbook. They don't say anything special when you're browsing a tattooist's inventory.</font>

I've got a general question for everyone - What kind of characters are you building? My guy is strength heavy. Physique is up high and health &amp; toughness are built up well. He has speed built up as high as physique and uses a small handful of spells to help him out. Almost never uses a bow and the only magics he uses are there to complement his melee skills (Assassin Rush, Battle Charge, Multi Hit) He uses a Greatswordl, but I've been considering downgrading to a Katana for the speed, although I've fallen in love with the range and reach of the greatsword.

Have any of you decided to go full magic or bows or even unarmed? If so, what have you done to focus on your style of fighting? Some of the types I'd really like to flesh out is an unarmed brawler or a full on rogue. I'd really like to hear what kind of successes and difficulties you've had if you're trying any of these builds.



<font color="#0000ff">Blue = added because my post took so damned long to type that there were already a bunch of replies there by the time I finished it.</font>

[NEFARIOC]

I'm an Evil Fighter with Dark Chainmail Suit and Dark Grt swd. I'm also physically strong with almost all my experience going into physique. I rarely use magic except for fireball and lightning......I bet a solid magic user would be insane!

[Porphyria Plan]

Brute character that is mostly good. Mostly good because I will fight my way through a problem regardless of the consequnces (like hitting a bully). NO magic! Magic is for sissy men. Why wave your hands around when you could be hitting something? Oh yeah, gambiling and drinking are what all the great people do to pass the time.

I haven't spent any points in anything but strength yet.

Yeah, I got myself a full chainmail suit complete with the helm. I wanted to find a bright chainmail suit, but I decided to focus on assembling a bright platemail suit. All I need is a bright chest plate an a bright plate helm.

So Nef, you have the Obsidian Greatsword? That's what I have. I put the Lightning and Fire enhancements in mine. I was thinking of saving up for a Master Greatsword but *spoiler*<font color="#ffffff"> there are two unique swords I've found. One is in a shop and costs a silly amount of money but comes with natural augmentations, the other is stuck in a rock. I think I need tomax my physiqueto get it out. Either way, I don't think I'm going to actually BUYmy next sword</font>*spoiler*

Yeah, I guess that you always have to pay for a tattoo because you're
paying for a service, not a design... so it's like, here use my design
instead of one of yours.



I am really bad with the range weapons so I am mostly strength with a
little bit of magic (only when I freak out). Also I am good, but am
having a hard time getting my alignment up there.

Check the bandit camp for the bright plate....I might have seen it there.:-k

[Anonymous]

I'm good, too, Red. I tried evil for a little while but got a fine of about a half million in the Guild, so I restarted with a good guy. It seemed a lot easier to see the evil changes in your character than the good. After a few evil acts, I immediately started to notice horns. However, as a good guy my character iswell into the gameand is just now starting to develop a halo. Although one of the benefits of being so damned good is thathe's had over 50 women fall in love with him. Whenever he walks into a town, all the ladies flock to him.

[Anonymous]

Someone asked about our Characters. Mine is Good, with a full blown halo etc. I've been lugging around a Great Hammer since I was only able to drag it, and still find it a good weapon. I'm wearing full plate armor minus the helm. My physique is maxed out with some points invested in other stuff.


My boys is still scrawny! How do I bulk this bad ass up!

[NEFARIOC]

<font color="#ffffff">I think you drink alot of beer and eat redmeat! That's what I've been doing and have noticed a difference.</font>

[Anonymous]

Ok so I have a general question for you buff bastards. I've been trying to balance out my stats, but I actually found a HEAVY sword. (spoiler: <font color="#ffffff">If you get to the part where you are trying to dig for some ghosts treasure.... You get a HEAVY weapon as a reward. I equiped it and my guy just drags it on the ground behind him. And key note on the digging: IT'S A BITCH TO FIND</font>) Does anyone use a weapon that is not LIGHT? And if so, does it really affect your movement? Also, is it worth the extra punch to slow yourself down a little?

[Anonymous]

Josh - Bright Plate or Plain Plate? If its Bright, where did you get the chestpiece? And what did you do to get a halo? I've done so many damned good deeds that I make Mother Theresa look like a Nazi socialworker.

[Anonymous]

This whole post/question will be a spoiler about getting evil via Darkwood:

<font color="#ffffff">Has anyone had any luck finding someone to sacrafice at the Evil Temple that the "monks" would consider a worthy sacrafice? Everyone I bring is said to be a measly sacrafice. I've brought women who love me, traders who are scared of me, and random men who just want to fight. Any ideas?</font>

[Anonymous]

If your physique is high, it doesn't affect your movement. The attack is slower, but the waepon is bigger and can cut through more foes at the same time. I liked the speed of a Katana or Longsword, but the damage from a Greatsword is incredible. I've boosted my speed stat so I attack faster and I use the Assassin Rush spell often so the slower attack is a lot less of a factor than I would have originally thought.



Oh, about your spoiler: <font color="#ffffff">Are you talking about the quest in Oakvale? Because I didn't get a heavy weapon out of that. What weapon did you get and where did you get the quest?</font>

It's mixed. Leg Plates, Boots are bright, and the rest is regular plate. As far as getting the halo, I suspect that I just have more time spent in the game then you. When I got the game Tuesday, I played it until 6 a.m., then slept for 4 hours and playe it until 2a.m this morning :smt003. I'm pretty far into the game.

If you have an Augmentation stone IE: Fire, Lightning, etc just go to your Equiptment menu as if you were going to equip the weapon, and you will now hav an option just under "Wield" that lets you imbue the weapon.

I've been saving my Augmentations for when I really find my weapon of choice. I'm wondering if they are few and far between in this world or if I will start to stumble across more and more as I progress. No point in augmenting a weapon I won't be using tomorrow.

How do I drink beer? I keep on giving it to the person who is standing

in love with me and that includes one dude with a heart that is
swelling by the second). Anyway, I keep giving it away and can't
figure out how to drink it myself...





Also, in this thread do we have to type in white? becuase I don't have that option...

Red look when you write there is a little box that says color which is a pull down you can change to white in there. Oh and to drink beer yourself walk away from the other people and you will chug one for yourself.

Yes. Definite spoiler if you plan to find this treasure yourself: (<font color="#ffffff">Dig next to the water directly to the left of the pier.

Actually this is why I got married fairly early. Now my wives will have to watch me become evil. So to answer your question. I have no idea.

My character is nasty as hell looking and I've had two girls fall in love with me, gave one a ring.

Second, definite spoiler (<font color="#ffffff">that sucks if it's not just strength because that sword is supposed to be kick ass.

Another cool thing I did was just roam the countryside getting into various adventures and harrassing innocents.



what a great game :smt008

[NEFARIOC]

That's all I did yesterday! I did one quest and the rest was women, beer, and killing innocents......:smt001:smt096 Needless to say, I'm going to Hell.:smt093

[Vampire 33]

Well Monkey completed the game on mostly good. Had a halo and butterflies. It was pretty cool.The only problem is you have to watch almost 25 minutes of credits, if you want to continue on and go back and explore the rest of the world. I still have a long way to go with my evil character. :smt009

Spoiler question! <font color="#ffffff">Where the fuck is Lady Grey's Necklace!</font>

Spoiler question!

Spoiler Answer (<font color="#ffffff">Some theives in Oakvale(sp?) have buried it. You'll find the theives talking about it in the graveyard just outside of town. You have to find a good place to sneak to and listen to their conversation</font>)

I actually just beat the game as a completely EVIL character. It
was quite a blast actually. I however did not listen to the
credits at the end because I figured I'd just be able to continue on
from there. Oh no... I guess (seeing Vamps post) I'll have to
redo the ending so I can continue playing around in my world.
Will the side quests that I did not finish still be available?


I'm thinking of going competely saintly on my next round. So
maybe I'll just leave the evil character where he is and start my next
one. I left plenty of little pieces for me to complete my second
time around. There were side quests left, plenty of treasure
hunts and demon doors. I think my total game time was some 20
hours.

[NEFARIOC]

OK Hatter....another question. <font color="#ffffff">What happens if I killed them cause they wouldn't talk....where is it buried?</font>

OK Hatter....another question.

Haha... you impatient evil bastard. (<font color="#ffffff">It's buried between the two overturned boats on the beach just to the right of the pier.</font>)

Okay, my turn for a question. I got my character hitched and have
lots and lots of other women that say they love me, but how in the heck
do I get them in the sack?



Oh, ya, and damn all of you for talking this game up so much that I had
to go out and get it (along with Burnout 3, a used copy of PGR2, and a
used copy of Price of Persia. Oh, and a down payment on Halo2 -
traded in my PS2 and all its games, everything I got was from the
trade). :smt003

I'm pretty sure you have to be married to sleep with them. Ya dirty man whore. :smt002

In answer to the "can I get married when I'm evil?" question, the reason that they don't show hearts above your head is probably because you're either too scary or ugly. If you look on your statistics, personality screen, at the top rightyou will see how ugly or scary you are. You want your attractiveness to be +100, and scary to be -100. The best way to do this is to go to a barber and alter your hair/beard to something that adds to appearance and detracts from scariness. The same goes with tattoos. Also, that dark armor adds to your scariness. After I did this, I just walked into town naked and everyone fell in love with me except for the guards. I was evil as hell with big ass horns and cloven hooves.

Also, on the sacrifice question, <font color="#ffffff">first off, go to the dark temple. Once there, teleport back to a town and make someone "follow" you. Immediately use your teleport again, and you should see the name of the area you just teleported from with a (recall) next to it. This allows you to teleport back to the spot you just teleported from, but only if you do not leave the immediate area that you are in. When you teleport, the person following you should teleport with you. Now, just walk right in and sacrifice away. Unfornutately, your average citizen is not deemed a very good sacrifice, so you will have to find a better one. I'm guessing the more evil in nature your sacrifice is, the better the reward. Hence, I have attempted to make one of my wives follow me there, but it hasn't worked yet. Let me know if anyone finds a better sacrifice.</font>

<font color="#000000">Hope that was helpful. Let me know if there are any more unanswered questions. </font>

So, doesn't everybody love the grave yard...so many undead to kill and they keep coming. Go there to get ass loads of level up points. Spend 30 mins there and you'll be good to go for a long time. :smt117 ***Just pretend its in white, because I don't see anyway to change the color.***

Well I dont know if <font color="#ffffff">Jak is the last guy you fight but i was told that I couldent contuine my quests once i took this quest and that I have to fight Jak. I allready beat Maze. Well anyways to my point I did alot of fucking around and side quests and im at 12 hours and a few minutes with my chaaracter right now. he is a good chararcher which uses magic for the most part and the bow for the rest. Multi-arrow is the shit. Can sopmeone confrim trhat I am at the end of the ggame because you guys are talking about 20 hours and according to that timeframe I am way way ahead.</font>

<font color="#ffffff"><font color="#000000">..</font>Jak is the last guy you fight</font><font color="#000000">..</font>

Well I finally beat the game. I had all physical maxed out like most of you. I made the credits mistake also so after beating (<font color="#ffffff">Jak</font><font color="#000000">) twice I decided to make the "other" choice when choosing (<font color="#ffffff">to kill my sis or not, I killed her, and imo the sword of Aeons is the best sword in the game. If you find one better let me know but I know for sure that the sword from the stone is shit compared to it.</font>)</font>

Game time took me about 16 hours to beat it but now I am going through a full evil mage. Second time through I am discovering tons of stuff I missed. I don't know how though, I combed all of Albion my first way through.

[Anonymous]

Okay, I should finish tonight (assuming I'm as close to the end as I think I am). What exactly is the deal with the Credits thing? Just choose to watch the credits and wait for it to end or is there another trick to it?

[NEFARIOC]

The dragon sword is the shizzznit! I'm hesitant to beat the game though, I just saved my mom. How much further is it? I spend most of my time buying houses, getting master grt swd's from my wives, and getting drunk. anyone know <font color="#ffffff">where the three missing dolls are and the last tresure clue is? </font><font color="#000000">I think I've spent about 20 hours.....however I don't think it speaks for how much actual gameplay is in this, does it count gametime when your buying stuff or checking your equipment?</font>

[The Empty Way]

I'm at 30 hours now! I do lots of side quests and spend time playing side games like Black Jack, taking care of wives and houses, opening all but I think one of the Demon Doors, finding Silver Keys (20 so far - there is more, but I think that is the most I will need) and going back to chests I couldn't open before... Just now starting the fist fight thing... and on and on.. lol.

I just refused the main quest that is the first one telling me I will forsake all my side quests permanently if I take it. I assume it is either the last main quest or damn close to it. I am not ready to end it just quite yet... lol.

[Porphyria Plan]

The dragon sword is the shizzznit!



Where is it and what is it like? If you want to read about the sword I think is the best read on (<font color="#ffffff">The Sword of Aeons has a pierce, exp, health, and mana augmentations. Not to mention having about 150 more points than my Master Greatsword</font>).

[NEFARIOC]

The dragon sword is <font color="#ffffff">in the upper bowerstone shop</font>......don't remember the augments though. It kicks the hell out of the Hue sword. BTW: anyone know where to sell the four other artifact weapons&lt;<font color="#ffffff"> *japanese name* Katana, mellows pickhammer, hue's sword, the pirate sword?</font>

I know that one. I was trying to save up for it but ended spending my money on other things.

Just got this off Lionheads website.



"For those interested in tracking their play time, the stats screen records active play time (i.e. the time spent in the world, excluding any time spent in GUI screens, inventory, trade screens, etc). "

[NEFARIOC]

Thanks Josh, that's what I thought. Believe it or not that time in "screens" is a good bit.:-k

[NEFARIOC]

Well my friend Matt(demon apostle) told me that one of the dolls is <font color="#ffffff">in Bowestone tavern at the betting table. You have to beat a certain time. </font>Anyone know where the other two are? <font color="#ffffff">I have mine, and thunders.</font>

<span class="normalTextSmall">Stole this from the XBOX forums, but was quickly coming to the same conclusion myself.>

<span class="normalTextSmall">>

<span class="normalTextSmall">After playing through Fable a few times it seems that the #1 best skill regardless of the way you want to play is Physical Shield. Why you ask? The answer is because it prevents you from being interrupted when taking damage. This is a necessity for archers and mages but more than that it allows you to save your multiplier when you get hit. As you all know the multiplier is the most important part of Fable as it allows you to keep your experience collected much higher.

Another trick is to always keep as many Will Potions as you can buy. The reason for this is that once you get a substantially high multiplier (20+), you can simply begin casting Physical Shield on and off until you run out of mana, use a Will Potion and continue casting it over and over again. It earns you a base of 5 will experience every time and quickly scales up to 100 a shot with a multiplier of 20. I used this trick to gain over 6000 will experience in just over 60 seconds.

At a measily 888 will experience Physical Shield is definitely worth the cost. I would normally say not to buy more than the first level in it as it really doesn't improve it too much. If you have extra will experience to burn (and you will, trust me) then purchase the extra levels, but you really don't need them. Also note that you can only max the skill if you are good.>

[NEFARIOC]

Interesting....I've never even used that spell! lol:smt001

[NEFARIOC]

Has anyone gotten Skorm's bow? <font color="#ffffff">I know you get it from the temple......I read your supposed to sacrifice someone at Midnight or 6Am.</font>

Also.....if you didn't dig up the <font color="#ffffff">"frying pan" before you found all the clues, you can augment it.</font> I'm hoping this ability to augment the weapon will unlock some special quests of items. However, I need teamwork to figure this out.

Augmentations: Piercing, sharpening, fire, electricity, mana, health........what else?

Help me please!:smt001

[Anonymous]

Do you have any other details about Skorm's Bow? That sounds pretty interesting. I'll give it a try.



Sorry I haven't even dug up the frying pan with my first
character. I'll probably do most of this with the character I am
using now.

[NEFARIOC]

No, just that it's the God of all that is Evil's Bow that I MUST have!:smt003

[Anonymous]

The Skorm Bow: Take a temple of Avo Merc back to Skorm and
sacrafice him at Midnight. But you might be so evil that you have
to take several people there at midnight. I know it has to be
midnight.



I got the Frying Pan before I got all of the clues and still don't have
all of the clues. I'm thinking that if you kill Jack of Blades
with it something might happen. But since I can't augment it, I
will never find out, unless I start over and thats not going to happen
because I got the pan a long time ago.

[NEFARIOC]

Well I augmented the frying pan with 4 flames and ran around the world looking for anything suspicious. I found nothing......tried the light house and everything.:smt009 I guess there's nothing left.
