Any EVIL people here

Post by joe05 »

Guys - looking to go EVIL when I replay.
What are the perks :-)

I'm not interested in looting/owning houses/shops etc, just want to know if the gameplay/story changes enough to warrant the switch.
Is it more fun being EVIL ?

I read the "getting wives" thread ... solved one dilemma

I don't use a bow, so that quest is irrelevant.
I go sword/enflame route :-)

Just want your take on being EVIL ... what you liked about it; if the story changes and is it cool :-)

*** this pertains to a late in the game optional quest; I think it's called the "Hostage Quest" ? ... near the end of the game when bandits capture a brother/sister ... put the brother on Fishermans Pier and I think the sister in Greatwood Lake ? ... anyways, the "attractive sister" says: "we're going to stay with realitives in Bowerstone" .. is she there/in the game = can I find and marry her ... or is she just part of a quest and nothing more ... I looked through the houses and checked the pub for a full day/night cycle = couldn't find her ... I was hoping she would come by and say thanks :-) ***

Guys - thanks.
Hmm, I didn'tknow it would affect my trading.
I found a troll and he dropped a ruby every two kills = I had 150 in two days and was set once I got my Guile to level 6
The battle sounds cool, but I needed the $ more = buy the sword and houses etc...
I only had $15,000 after a ton of fighting ... the gem trading solved my problem in 10 minutes ... plus no reloading after robbing/breaking and being caught = only to find a tattoo or something of little value

I have to disagree with that. I have played the game both as good and as evil. In many games I find playing an evil character quite fun, but in Fable it just seemed like a lot of hassle and I had much more fun playing as a good character.

I fully disagree here. I mean, doesn't it get boring when you constantly keep whacking people's heads off and running amok with your sword pillaging and razing villages to the ground?

That is the reason why I never played dark side.:laugh: Furthermore, I agree with you that its more fun playing good side in Fable. Had quite a blast even on my first round (played once only). Anyway, I'm not much into playing dark side to be honest.

Well, from an ease of use, it's "easier" to go mildly evil. You can do what you want, take short cuts, kill people that have something you want, etc. But without the effort of trying to stay fully evil all the time, you can also do any quest you want, help people if the reward is nice, etc. It's generally easier to be closer to the middle (even though you may need short periods near GOOD/EVIL to max spells).

Personally I always play good since my morals always get int he way. I know it's a game and role playing and everything, but I still just don't feel right going around killing indiscriminantly.

Exactly. Though its a game, as you stated above, I still feel bad doing something that is cruel. Anyway, killing people indiscriminately overtime in any game (GTA or any type of game for that matter) will get tiresome and pointless. ;)

I try keping nutral ;) Cause i hate it when the merchnats ran away from me :P you got to chase them and all.. realy anoying.. but being full good isnt my fave ting to.. every1 stops for you and yelling: Yeeeeh!!! *klap klap* Yeeeeh!!! *klap klap*

Thats feels a bit stupid when you try to be assasin like :P
excample:
You sneek in the forst to kill a bandit.. from behind comes a merchant.. you walk to the bandit to hack him with your katana.. the merchant stops and starts yelling at you. The bandit turns around and suprise spoiled..
Well.. that last thing isnt in the game.. but it still feels stupid to me :P
And i hate that halo and butterflies.. doesnt realy fir in with a assasin :cool:

So i just go run around.. buy some stuff.. slay some bandits and trolls.. (i hate zombies and bulverines :rolleyes: ) and when i think im to good.. i go raid Oakvale till im slitely evil:mischief:

Evil is MUCH more fun. I love going from town to town(skipping Oakvale, that's where my wife is) and slaughtering all of the villagers. You grow Horns, get bugs, and get some sexy red fog and eyes. Mix that up with Fire Assassin gloves, pants and shirt, guard boots, and daemon warrior helm and you're a walking nightmare that looks awesome. Oh, and if you max out Berserk(only evil) and strengt you can punch a guards head off. It's great LOL :p
