To be honest that crossed my Mind many times, Still did not find that one out to
As for dual swords, I think the longswords will be more suited for dual-wielding as wielding two greatswords will look kind of strange since any greatswords, greataxes, greatmaces are kind of heavy to carry in one hand and is more suited to being wield with two hands.
Yes agreed. holding "Greatweapons" is a bit to much of it, At the other hand to pickhammers, katanas, Or longswords would just to the trick.

I'd like to see katana's that actually look like katanas and not a giant butter knife....also guns are a good idea because in the video of it she says time has moved on and advanced.

That's a good idea. If both Avo's armour and Skorm's armour have the same stats, except one being good and the other evil, at least it will be more balanced and will provide more incentive to be either good or bad.

I don't really liked the fact that the most powerful bow is the Skorm's Bow and you have to sacrifice people in order to get it. I just wish that there will be equally powerful weapons for both good and bad side in order to give those who want to stay strictly good or evil some incentive to stay at their respective alignment. :)

P.S. Welcome to the forums, simo7890. :)

just some ideas that i got ;)

well in a atemt to get things going agen, i've got some ideas that i wanted to share with you...

well in Fable:TLC you only had ONE armor/robe that had a hood(or as i could find) so what about a cloak with a hood in red(evil),grey(nuteral) and gold or whit(good) and if you can have mask that you can also have with it...
and the guards need to have a cool gear, like armors,cooler blades and bows feks in a bright blue, and dark blue armor after how good they are...

and what about fist wepons, lik claws etc....

That would be a good idea, especially when you have both claws on your hands. It'll look cool and lethal indeed. ;)

I've got another idea. What about having a bayonet (type of knife attached on rifles)? It would be very useful if an enemy approaches striking distance. Not to mention that bayonets do exist at that time. :)

Anyone who has played finalfantasy 10 and 10-2 will know exactly what i mean here. But anyway. Rikku uses them in FF10 and 10-2. Basically you hold 2 blades up your arms and punch and slice the crap outta hobbes. I have a picture here. They are a little bit like ones off prince of persia but not quite them. the weapon im on about is my display picture. Not meaning to stray off subject but any1 played FFX or FFX-2? :confused: :confused:
YOU WHAT?

how a bout a big gold warhammer(Thor the tunder god's hammer.) as an Good side weapon.

and for the evil ones a shyter(maybe wrong spelling here).( you know the Reaper, he had a cool staff with a half circle blade on the edge)with some blood on it to make it look more evil

This is not really about what armor i want, but how to get the armor.

I've always liked making your own items in games. I would like to see that in Fable. Collect the right material you need and create it. To add though, i've noticed all the games that you make your own items you can also buy them somewhere else. What i want is to make my own items that you can't get anywhere else.
It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you.

Exactly

That is exactly what i meant. Glad you like it, just hope more people like it. I've always like this feature in games, just the whole adding color, style, etc... is a feature i've only seen in one game.

What I wouldn't mind seeing in the game is a lance. For those who are not familiar, this weapon looks like a long pointed pole and is used mostly for those on horseback. If Fable 2 allows you to mount a horse, having a lance would be convenient. ;)

well some1 mention a spear(think it was DesR85) that made me think about area attack(attacking many enemy around you, at the same time).
and....well i was watching a movie yeasterday, and the man there was using a chain with something sharp on 1 of the end of the chain.and was atttacking all enemy around him(realy cool to see). i think that that weapon would be cool in this type of game :D

I remember that spear idea. It should be me who mentioned it. ;) About the area attack, I do recall that in Fable: The Lost Chapters, the main character swings his weapon in an arc so dealing with crowds isn't difficult (much better than Gothic 3 combat system, to be honest. Fighting a small number of enemies is enought to get you killed there :mad: ).

On the other hand, the ability to swing your weapon at 360° is not only good but essential especially when fighting a large number of enemies. Perhaps that could come in as a certain button combination (hold block button and tap the attack button twice as an example but not multiple button combinations like what you see in fighting games).
