Hook & Poe

Hook & Poe

Okay. So, it's my first time playing a new game in fable. I'm happy because I get to test out the new things I added (silver key chests/body guards etc)
I finally get to teleport to Witch wood to find the Archaeologist. After that quest I decide to explore Witch wood. I come to the Temple of Avo and what do I see?
Two body guards. So I'm a bit confused because I DIDN'T SPAWN him. The map (The TNG map NOT my minimap) even says there's only ONE person standing there. (One Creature anyway) I have no idea where he came from. I don't even remember the original ones name.
but I have two body guards. One's name is Hook and one is Poe. Someone tell me what his real name is? or if they've had this problem? Or any comments?

I actually think I figured it out. Ironically after I made the thread. I made a body guard appear during the Wasp Quest. he uses the script that the Good Guard uses. And I think when I told him he could leave that I no longer needed his services he teleported back to..where he's supposed to and turned into another guard. Kinda confusing and kinda doesn't make sense. I just wonder why they have two different names. Plus it's kinda funny.

Interesting though ^_^

Re: Hook & Poe

If I remember well, Poe is the original bodyguard in Witchwood. So yours must be Hook, not sure how bodyguard names work though, I thought they were set, but yours seems to have picked up a random name.

:lol: I know.It's just so random. And I don't know why. But I thought it was interesting enough to share.

Re: Hook & Poe

Well I investigated this by going round killing bodyguards and loading old saves and it seems I was wrong, bodyguards get random names when they spawn but keep them till their death. Rummaging through text.big I found all the names:

• Arno
• Bjarne
• Bower
• Hook
• Hox
• Jol
• Krie
• Magor
• Poe
• Slam

The names are found under TEXT_GUI_NPCNAME_SPECIAL_BODYGUARD_NAME_**

Re: Hook & Poe

Can you technically have an army of bodyguards to do your bidding for you? By the way, has anyone ever noticed that if you have a good and evil bodyguard following you at the same time, they argue sometimes?

Thank you! I thought I was the only one that noticed the good and bad arguments! LOL

On the army of bodyguards, I've only ever been able to have to followers at the same time, I can never get a third. It is annoying me! I want 50 people following me to their untimely deaths damnit! I love using Force Push to have a bit of fun!

Re: Hook & Poe

i have at one time had all the body guards following me not sure it might of been a dream like 4 yrs ago that i still remember

Re: Hook & Poe

I can't speak for those with the PC version, but on the Xbox you can only have up to two mercs at a time following you around. Which I think is rubbish because surely if you got the cash you should be able to hire whoever the hell you like...I tried hiring a load of mercenaries but they just paid no attention to me once I had the first two...so I killed them for their insolence :devil:

Yeah bodyguards either bicker or admire eachother depending on their alignment, they also comment on things. I've heard them comment on:

• The Statue Master in Lookout Point
• The Statue Master in Greatwood Entrance
• The Bowerstone Tavern Cellar
• The Arena
• The Ship of the Drowned.

Anyone know anything else they comment on?
As for the bodyguard army, I'm sure it's possible one way or another :ninja:
