Re: fable 2 jobs

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa!!
Now that's a lumberjack song...so gonna be lost on everyone who has never seen Monty Python...

It would be cool if there was some kind of employment agency so when you're a pregnant Heroine, you have to go and claim Jobseekers until you are 6 months gone and then you get to go for your Maternity Grant to get the little sprog his/her own toy swords and bows and guns to train with...

Just think, it could be the place for disaffected teenage wannabe Heroes to hang around outside, smoke roll-ups and drink cheap beer stolen from the tavern cellar whilst they wait for new quests and jobs to become available...

LOL that's awesome Ha Ha +Rep You are funny! Is any of this from personal exp (you don't have to answer that I'm just kidding.

I heard PM say that if you become pregnant as a female Hero, that you get to a point where you can't adventure any more and spend a few days giving birth. But he added that there is no giving birth mini game LOL A= Push B= Breath-in X= Breath-out y= Scream profanities.

I was unemployed when I got pregnant at 18 and the sensible Government of not-so-Great Britain said "go and get a job, even though you are unemployable as no one in their right mind will give a pregnant and homeless girl a well paid job" So I signed on until I was 6 months - total waste of time - and had the pleasure of wading through a bunch of doped up drunken teenagers and lazy old blokes who couldn't be bothered to work each week to collect the massive £40 that I lived on each week. Woo Hoo! /sarcasm

Ew - glad there is no mini game :lol: Although it should be:

  • A= Push
  • B= Breathe
  • X= Breathe Out
  • Y= Scream profanities
  • White button= Gas and air (that stuff ROCKS!!)
  • Black Button= draw sword and threaten to chop it off your hubby Hero if he dares go near you EVER again after this
And a few days to give birth?? What's up with that??

Re: fable 2 jobs

Yea he may of meant a few days until you give birth.
Without cut scenes I wonder how they'll do that.

Re: fable 2 jobs

There will be many ways to get money. Some honest some not. chiggaligcm is right about the idea behind the job, I think. I see you doing some task (mini game?) for a period of time then getting paid. Maybe the money will show up outside of the place you work like rent. Maybe you'll get it through an interaction with your boss.

Here's a quote from Loinheads transcript of PM at X06

one of the challenges in Fable 2 [changes picture to character art] is the ability to become rich, as I said, and the way to become rich is to take on jobs, and some of those jobs are like barman, you can be a farmer, you can be a prospector, you can also choose to work in the, as a woman of the world, shall I say, what that means is of course, well, I’m not going to go into the details there but it does mean as you can imagine it means, and that will all weave into the story, as I said at the end you can either be wealthy or you can be poor, you can get through the game quickly but you’re gonna be poor and that’s all part of it. You can end up owning the North Hall and running it as you like.

I added bolding

Here's the full transcipt Loinhead » Archive » Molyneux at X06 - Transcribed!

Re: fable 2 jobs

I like the idea of using some form of craftmanship on the items I would have. For instance, if you primarily deal with a sword of sorts, why not customize the look of the blade? Sort of like the old Fable tattoo cards, except the design would be for your weapon. You could make a number of side quests where you have to be an apprentice of sorts in order to learn the secrets of the ancients.

I'd enjoy being an executioner, or a Gladiator.

I like the idea of more customisable weapons, picking your own blade styles and handle styles etc.

Maybe a blacksmith i mean how cool would it be makeing swords and guns and reparing them. You would never have to buy weapons again.

Re: fable 2 jobs

it wouldbe cool if oyu could be hired as you were in the game Harvest Moon for n64, when these guys were building a bridge, you oculd help, oyu went there and chopped wood and stuff everyday till the bridge was made. that would be pretty sweet. or just have like situaitonal jobs, since cities expand and evolve, maybe oyu oculd help build new buildings, fix old ones etc?
