Alright, I have to admit, I HATE PETER MOLYNEUX! He ruined Fable. One thing that is completely UN-USEFUL part of Fable series is customization. I would like to know what you think of it!
 
I'm gonna go ahead and assume that was a troll post.
If it wasn't it's because of people like you that we got such a washed up game as Fable III.
 
What do you mean by customisation?
 
By customization, I mean picking out your hair style and clothes and other things that really aren't important to the plot. It's not like if you have on a black shirt that you failed the mission or something. The armor from Fable 1 was good. That is because it effected how much you get hurt. Like how much damage you can take vs. how much health you lose. I was playing Fable 2 a little while ago and I stopped and thought about it for a second. Other then not getting some gifts, what did the clothes you were wearing matter, along with if you got married, had children, got a house, got a job. It really isn't part of the plot. Peter Molyneux promised that it would be different for Fable 2 but all he changed was he got rid of coats and you can change the shade of the dye. That's about it. It isn't important and I think that it should be subjected from the game. Armor should come back and have it effect how much damage you take and how much health you lose.
 
It's not like you're forced to customise your character. It's just something fun for the people who do like it, like me.
 
What curb? If you mean the customization curb, not entirely. The armor for different traits would be nice. Like Will, Skill, and Strength armor that evolves as well. That way, the special armor gives you added traits or something along those lines. And maybe not the weapons. I liked the whole steel, ore, and stuff weapons. It was kinda cool
 
I'm yay and nay for customization. There's an extent to everything.
 
Customization has always been an integral part of the Fable series. The whole idea of "choice" extends to your appearance. Did you notice how many people complained about how limited the customization was in Fable 3 compared to the other two?
 
That's true. But truly, customization can be for the people who want to get into their character, but I like armor. I'm sad that Peter took it out because it was REALLY cool!

You realise there's more people than just Peter Molyneux working at Lionhead?

Customisation is what makes, made Fable great. In Fable III the level of customisation was severely lowered. Severely.
They didn't remove armor they took away the way of actually utilising it.

The more they remove that was in the original Fable, the more the Fable franchise shall continue to die.
 
Don't worry I miss the Armor too. if I could've just had it to wear it I might've been happier. I mean who doesn't like giant spikes coming out of your shoulders? More Armor I say!! :)
 
I understand that there are more people working at Lionhead, it's just that Peter gets people too hyped up. I was actually excited about the customization, but after a while of playing the game,I realized what it mattered if I was attractive or not. I understand Lionhead is trying to make the game more like real life, but they aren't doing it very well. The game was fine in Fable 1. They just needed to fine out some of the gaming balances. And work on the moral choice thing. In Fable 1, you could still customize, but everyone wanted armor, which was AWESOME! But I think that's what they wanted to avoid and adding the while 'look like a regular NPC(or MPC [kinda forgot lol])' thing kind of took away form the game. I mean you could customize it, but why would you want to? It's like that sort of situation.
If they wanted to improve on it, they should look at Bethesda games like the Fallout series, Elder Scrolls series, and so on. They have really good customization themes. I mean, my best friend, who if African American, doesn't play Fable for two reasons. One, it's kind of racists with all of the Heroes being WHITE and two, it's just too cartoon-ish to be taken seriously. If they wanted to make it realistic, they have to abandon the whole cartoon aspect and start using more next gen technology.
But that's just what I think.
