More info on the dog

One of the cleverest bits, and the thing that leads to me believing Molynuex is a mad genius, and not just mad, was the dogs reactions in battle. To demonstrate, there was a pack of little gobliny things, one with a sword, one with an axe and one with a gun. The dog knows which weapon your character is wielding at any time, and will go for one of the enemies with a different weapon. So if you have a sword out, he will immediately try and disable the enemy with the gun. While demonstrating this Peter’s best friend was wounded unfortunately, so Mr Molyneux decided to really tug at our heart strings. Upon being injured the dog takes up a rather pathetic whimper and limp. In keeping with the "least annoying" tag, Peter then demonstrated how you could, rather than bother with it, "just walk away..."

Goblin YAY

...perhaps, if I don’t get this one right I mean, if its not truly revolutionary and fantastic, perhaps I’m in the wrong business."

He's really laying it on the line .

Wow, great find, great information. Sounds like they're thinking of every little detail for this game. I wonder if you're dog is going live as long as you, or like a real dog, die after about 10 years.

If you stop to talk to someone, the hound will sit or lay down or run around nearby, but never very far. If you start to run, so does he. Want to play with him? Pick up something, pop up the mannerism for teasing him, then throw the object and off he goes; all very natural.

That sounds very promising.

Plus watching Peter as he mimes a dog scratching at a door is just a glorious experience.

Heehee. doggy peter.

Just read and I quote (from a different interview) "...Fable 2 will be 100 times bigger than the original..." One word. Wow.

Edit: New information, Peter hinted that there are clues in TLC to what the plot of F2 will be, and you can become "Emporer of Albion" if you purchase all the land in albion... That cool.

I read some where that the dog wont be the only npc that has incredible AI...npcs will be able to walk around the world of Albion, and will be able to ride vehicles etc. not like in fable 1 where npcs would only go to the bar or job w/e and then go home when its dark. npcs will actually be able to exit the town go other places yeah you get the point.

 

[Albion Knight]

Re: GDC: Fable 2 - Molyneux 'Perhaps I’m in The Wrong Business'

I read that as well. That they will also interact with each other. I saw a little of that in TLC but not nearly as much as they will do in F2

but when they talked to e/o they made no sense at all and it was for like a second. the only this I found that was hilarious is when I had my wife to fallow me then I flirted with another girl infront of her then they kept slapping eachother.


rofl :lol: :w00t:

Would be interesting to see how far they take the NPC interaction with the character and with eachother and their daily lives i hope the world feels more like its alive this time.

Re: GDC: Fable 2 - Molyneux 'Perhaps I’m in The Wrong Business'

yeah it kind of sucked that it felt I was the only real person there, I felt alone.

I would be standing in bowerstone and people just wake up go to work then come back. they never interacted with me or e/o. except either clapping at me or running in fear which got me annoyed.


so I hope fable 2 brings me this feeling that im not alone and have the feeling that it will almost be life like

I'm commenting so I'll be able to get at this when I get home, just in case it goes off the main page. I could look at it, but I'm at work and would feel horribly guilty.
