Re: Guns vs Bows
Thinking in a historical way bows, crossbows, and muskets (along w/ arquebusiers, and hand cannons) all fought side by side between the 1300's and late 1500's and even later than that. See, bows have long range accuracy over early muskets, crossbows have power and range over longbows, but muskets have stopping power and long range over both sinew powered weapons. So here is an easy guide:
Longbows/Bows:
Good:
Long range accuacy
Awesome fire rate
Bad:
Weak stopping power
Bad at close range
Crossbows:
Good:
Good stopping power
Good at close range
Good at long range
Bad:
Difficult to load
Slow fire rate
Muskets:
Good:
Incredible stopping power
Good range
Awesome "carnage" effect
Mildly effective at close range
Bad:
Terrible fire rate
Hard to reload in a fight

Re: Guns vs Bows
ahhhh thats better now i completly understand bows and guns are both "strong" but in there own ways....... you have spells for swords and bows ( multi-arrow, multi-attack) i wonder if they will have any spells for guns?

Re: Guns vs Bows
New question. Augmentations in a gun......... now I dont know about that ive looked it up and some sites say that your guns cant have augs. and other sites say you can....... I wonder if you can. also I hope they have new augmentations like an ice aug. that when you hit an opponent so much he freezes solid or a range aug. where you can throw a slice 5 feet away from an opponent and it still hit him.

Yeah, don't believe fruitless gossip. Especially about Fable 2. Only belive what Peter Molyneaux says because he is the mastermind of it all.

Re: Guns vs Bows
You can 'mod' your xbox, but there is no "mods" for Fable. The difference between 'mod' and "mods" is this. To 'mod' ones xbox is to give it a new motherboard/harddrive which costs about 200 dollars. I'm sure you know what "mods'' are. BTW there will be no one guild, this is unconfirmed but there is supposed to be seperate, smaller guilds across Albion. DOn't belive that until you know its true though. This will be in no way like the first Fable so don't expect any of the same features, please just don't make any false hopes or create an idol of what you want Fable 2 to be like. But don't worry, the project is in great hands.
