Does anyone actually use block?

When I played fable I never used block because I never really needed to, the game seems to easy for me, do any of you guys use block?

Re: Does anyone actually use block?

not me. the only time i do use block is when im fighting whisper in training, but only to make the battle seem realistic(i dont want to be so strong compared to whisper at that point)

Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I just started doing it for more realism, but if I just play the game I usually don't block, My guy is fast enough to not get hit back most of the time but the real reason I don't block is because I never know when the enemy is going to strike back. So i'd rather be hammering away and only get hit once or twice the entire battle than to attack a couple times, block for a few seconds till the enemy decides to fight.

Try and play a "pure warrior" type of character*, and you'll learn to appreciate block! Also makes the game much more fun and challanging.

*just Physical traits... and perhaps Berserk thrown in for the awesomeness factor.

Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I find block useful and fun in certain circumstances like the fist fighter fights and do quest naked challenges

I like blocking and waiting for an opening then striking plus you can cast lighning while blocking :w00t:

Only ever used it in training - otherwise I was too busy button mashing to block :lol:

I block, roll, use spells, I never let the enemy put in a single hit, It's actually quite fun because; then you don't really notice how easy the game is when you do everything in your power to avoid letting the opponent get a single hit in.

I haven't really played the game in a while, but when you have the power to 1 hit kill everything, it's still pretty fun.:lol:

Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I'm sorry, but Physical Shield is clearly far Superior to Assassin Rush.

Re: Does anyone actually use block?

I reckon I would have used block more if they had a Sword and Shield Weapon.

My first character was also a warrior, complete beast. I had no idea what Physical Shield was before I came here lol, wasn't interested. :thumbsup:
