Weapons & Armour in Fable 2

Post by DesR85 »

This thread is to discuss about what type of weapons do you want in Fable 2. It can be any type of weapons be it projectile or close quarters. Feel free to post your ideas as to what type of weapons do you want to see in Fable 2. :)

In my opinion, I want a scimitar, a staff, a dual-blade sword and a nunchaku. Wanted to add in more weapons but can't think of any for now. Just have to settle for these few for now.

**UPDATE!**
It has come to my attention that there are a lot of people who want to post their opinions as to whether they want guns or not in Fable 2. If you want to discuss them, please post them in the appropriate [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/fable-2-110/do-you-want-guns-on-fable-2-a-77510.html"]thread[/url]. This thread is for discussing the type of weapons you want in Fable 2.

Thank you.

Dual knifes/ swords

Bows/CrossBows

Staphes/scytes

Ectra ectra
But absolutely No guns

Call me a pervert but I'd like to see whips :p maybe even dual whips:devil:.
Then I'd also like to play as a monk with fists, you could have some cool monk moves. Tantos would be cool too. Most of all I'd like to see several unique weapons with special abilities.

Well, not exactly a pervert just because you suggested whips. In fact, Indiana Jones uses whips frequently too aside from women. :p Anyway, good idea there, Masa. :)

What are Tantos? :confused:

Well there are many kinds of tanto, It resembles a katana but it's a dagger model of it.
For example there's a [url="http://www.nihontoantiques.com/images/Yari%20tanto.jpg"]Yari tanto[/url], A full sized Yari would be cool also. What I was referring to was infact a [url="http://www.kmtechno.com/images/2%20twin%20tanto%20throwers.jpg"]Throwing tanto[/url]
Come to think of it shurikens would be nice too.

How about the ability to throw any weapon. Imagine hurling the Solus at somebody and impaling them to a tree... that'd be pretty cool. Then walk up and retrieve your sword from their corpse, rinse and repeat. That'd rock.

To improve upon your idea, the sword you fling will hit multiple enemies depending on the range and radius of your throw. Might be included in a separate ability instead of the one you mentioned.

Mechanically, it'd probably be more useful that way, to toss weapons like a batarang and whack multiple enemies, but I think it'd just look cooler if when you throw the weapon you had to retrieve it from whoever you impaled. Toss weapon at enemy, *Thunk!* Run up grap weapon and proceed to hack through the rest.

a lightsaber.....really....no....i'd like to see other unique swords and bows...and crossbows....i like the whip idea...get it around someones neck and snap it would be excelent....i'd like to throw swords and/or melee people in the back of the head with the sword of Aeons....that would be nice also......

why put guns in this game....why can't they just stick with swords and bows....but they just have to put in guns....why don't they put shields also...i mean in Fable the only shield you had was your sword...yeah it was cool to have a sword as your shield but in Fable 2...there should be actul shields...like shields with spikes on the edges or in front so you could bash people with it....ummmmm......guns just don't make Fable Fabley...it's just not right....

Looks like a lot of people seem to hate guns the ever since they saw the Fable 2 trailer. In my honest opinion, its too early to criticise Lionhead's decision to implement guns into Fable 2. Just wait for the gameplay video or video demonstration to see how it works then you discuss whether it is a good or not.

About your shield idea, its marvellous. Always wanted to bash someone with it and to protect yourself against very damaging blow. Hope it would also prevent 'flourish' attacks too. :D

I want to see this: Dual Wield Long Swords/Dirk or Katana/Dirk(can you really see someone using two three foot swords?). A spear with a shield. Old style guns with the funnel-like thing at the end. Shields. Shields. Did I mention shields? Oh, ok then, shields. Hold the bow horizontal instead of vertical. Also, I would like to see Assassin Claws, like from Diablo LOD. That would be so sweet. One more thing, can you guess...









Shields.

Those type of guns are called muskets. In my opinion, Lionhead could categorise the types of guns such as flintlocks, percussions and as I stated previously, muskets.

Well, I find the idea of a sword growing longer to match your body size sounds weird to me. I'd much prefer that you go to some blacksmith to adjust the length of the sword rather than have it magically grow. Its more logical that way.

Or you could just have different size swords and make it so you can only wield the larger ones when you are big enough or strong enough, so when your sword gets too small for you, you can just upgrade to a bigger one :)
