Re: No Bows in Fable 2
I kinda expected there not to be bows as i hadn't seen any in videos etc, but i think the guns will look good, especially if there will be legendary guns!

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
Damn, this thread has been necromanced AGAIN!
Anyway, where did you see that video? Do you remember? Because I haven't seen any.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
It was on the heros' back in one of the last videos. I know they put back the crossbow, cause to many people wanted a bow. Maybe it was Jimbos'? I just got a glimpse of it. There's so many videos.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
In Fable, though there was a huge firing delay with the crossbows as opposed to almost instant fire with a longbow.
In other news, crossbows during their later years had cranks to load them and it took about a minute for a strong man to load it for firing. As opposed to a slow albeit less labor intensive wad-powder-ball-tamper method of loading a blunderbuss or a musket or a circa-1700's rifle; about 30 seconds for a trained rifleman. So I think a Fable II gun will fire faster than one of it's crossbows.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
Yeah, that's what I suspected. [sigh] I'll just have to wait until October or some day when I get really bored and go re-watch all the movies to find out.
Are you talking rifle or smoothbore? And you talking minie (there should be a little ` one the e, but I'm lazy) balls or not? Changing those factors changes it bigtime. And I'm not sure about your thirty seconds, because I'm too lazy to check. Sorry. Oh, and if you use pre-prepared cartridges or measure-and-pour or pre-measured but no cartridges or whatever also affects it.
But the thing is, they don't really care all that much about realism, and from the looks of things the reloading is going to be very unrealistic and very easy.

@ Walker: You're right about the neglect for realism, but as long as there are pepper-box revolvers (like on the game cover) I'll be happy.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
Well I can't see it being fair to call bows silly in a world where you can use magic. I mean I can see it why it would be stupid in a normal world that had guns but come on this is a fantasy rpg. You can give people bows that shoot arrows powerful enough to take bandits' heads off if you want to. They sure did in the 1st one.

Re: No Bows in Fable 2
It actually wasn't all that ridiculous in the real world. Under the right circumstances, bows-- which shot faster-- could beat guns-- which shot farther. Ambush, anyone?
But yes, I agree with the main point of what you say-- they could've kept longbows.
