Re: No Bows in Fable 2
Think about the strategy of it... You see a group of three enemies, two with swords and one with a gun. They are twenty metres away. The dog runs up to them and distracts one swordsmen while you shoot the gunman. The other two turn out of shock at their now dead friend, and the dog bites one of their legs. He falls down, bleeding from his leg while the other guy turns on your dog, all the while you've been moving close enough to behead him with your sword. Don't even need a crossbow.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
I seriously agree with people like Drakan on this matter. If it's coming straight from someone who's played the game and they say the bow doesn't work in it, it has nothing whatsoever to do with real life logic. In videogames, the limitations of everyday do not apply, and if you're still going to complain about it, realize that this is not the same Fable. I think it will be an interesting change for gameplay in general and I don't really question it all that much.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
Well, yeah, I assume they mean it doesn't work right in the game world. I'm just pointing out how it works in real life as well. I'm fine with the decision, it's just the logic people are using wasn't really working.

its silly because the english longbow was much more powerful than a crossbow and had a longer range

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
I think it would be sweet not to have bows and there just not in the right time period its 500 years after its like how many people would rather hunt with a bow instead of a gun and they wouldn't give guns ammo it would cause people to use them less

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
I don't really know on this one, but I'd just kind of leave it up to them. If an actual tester of the game says they didn't work out all that well, then maybe they truly didn't, despite all normal limitations- Fable doesn't have to be all by-the-book ya know. Chicken kicking contests? Giant wasps? You tell me if it's all that logical...

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
i think this gun thing is a big risk. Fable has bein a awesome medieval RPG but think will it make a good highwaymen age? guns sorta spoil it for me i hope the melle wepons are still awesome. if not im gonna have a fit.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
well they did say the crossbows would be more advanced so maybe they are 1 handed now. and you can duel weild them =P
p.s. I will bet any of you $5 that you can get a repeater crossbow in fable 2.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
Truth is if they wanted to have bows in Fable 2 they could make it work
maybe there's some other reason that they won't be in the game. I'm still going to love playing it over and over and over again =D

/wrists (///_-). I have to admit I was quite crushed when I heard the news about the lack of bows in Fable 2, being an avid bow enthusiast and archer myself. But the guns don't sound all that bad...could be kind of enjoyable. Think of the new, awesome head shots you'd get with a cannon; brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
