Re: little to no minoritys

"African American"....
not everyone with dark skin is from Africa...
and not all of them live in America...

"Samarkand Albionians" maaayyybeeee

Perhaps Samarkander-Albionese?

yeah i played 1 but it was only to heros but i mean its a fantasy WHERE YOU CAN TELEPORT i think travel is not restricted and they have ships and let me repeat a fantasy

Well, travel actually seems very restricted to me. I mean, you can barely walk between major cities without getting attacked by something nasty. And yeah, it's a fantasy, what of it?

only people with guild seals can teleport, and only to places where there are cullis gates... there may not be any outside of the area where the game takes place...

What he said. But hell, even heroes don't seem to be able to teleport in 2. The only working cullis gate I've seen is the one between the Chamber of Fate and Hero's Hill in Bower Lake. I haven't gotten to play much, but still.

I don't get why people complain about there being no black people.

Re: little to no minoritys

There bloody well are minorities in this game. I moved my gipsy wife into a nice house in the city, and then I get lost on a quest for several years. I come back and I have a child. And the child is definately dark skinned.

Now dont get me wrong. Ill take her in as my own. Im a hero after all. But my wife sure has some 'splainin to do.

Haha, that happened to me when I married one of those arictocrats (sp?)

Re: little to no minoritys

There are three possibilities for that:
1. That happens I believe if your wife feels neglected and has the trait of unchaste, flirty, or raunchy.
2. Your character is noticeably evil.
3. It is simply a result of the wife's gypsy heritage and you had sex with her before you left for the spire.

I agree, I have a sister-in-law who is Indian, from India, and she's very dark. One of the outfits, I've seen looks Indian.

Re: little to no minoritys

I like this thread, because i would really like asians in the game. Mainly based of the fact that Asian girls are better then white girls (I'm white so I cannot be racist [towards white poeple] )

Re: little to no minoritys

Whats even funnier, is I raised the issue to my real-life wife. Her response was "DUH, she thought you were DEAD! You were gone for Three years! If you leave and are gone for three years, you should be happy if when you get back you find a loving wife, your finances intact, and the small issue of an extra baby around the house. Three years is a LONG time to go without lovin..... "Hmmm.. mental note... no three year business trips.

Re: little to no minoritys

As many have mentioned I'm certainly not like the majority of people of Albion. I can only hope that either in expansions or the next Fable releases that we'll get to see Samarkand for ourselves and thus a greater racial variety, but the lack of distinction within this installment didn't particularly bother me. Orpheus raised a wonderful point. Just think back a couple hundred years and you'll realize that many countries had few differences in appearance until migration and exploring became more common place. Even today, it's rare to see light skinned people in more rural areas within Africa, the Middle East, etc, and vice versa for dark skinned people in European areas. In Japan you don't see many with natural blonde hair and blue eyes, and so on.

In addition, Fable is certainly a very British game; it's only natural it would be based on a medieval Britain, which didn't have a massive racial spectrum at the time either.

Re: little to no minoritys

well i just mean its a fantasy so they should have every race and someone can be racist to there own race

i konw that when i was in oakvale i saw a couple of darkskinned kids running around but never parents wierd

Re: little to no minoritys

Another reason why they should have considered letting us create our own character features.

For the sake of political correctness, there should be at least SOME diversity of indian/asian/black/white NPC's throughout the world. Every major city has it's own "Chinatown". Why would these cultural pockets be so unusual?

Re: little to no minoritys

Because travel is hard in albion look only two major towns and lots of bandits between bloodstone and bowerstone.

 

[bobothegoat]

Re: little to no minoritys

Man, that was the problem with Jade Empire too. That game didn't have any white people (well, there was one, but he was a stereotype) , or any Mexicans. Just a bunch of Chinese people. I mean, just because the setting is basically in a fictitious version of China doesn't mean it should be virtually all Chinese people, right!?

 

[Xerin Zelusa]

Re: little to no minoritys

Well if it is like a type of china it should have some white people. But i think it was a time before white people got to china.

Re: little to no minoritys

I think some people here pretty much nailed this on the head: Albion is supposed to like a fantasy medieval/colonial Europe only much darker where there is evil and travel is difficult.

^ there is no denying the fact that your right but i mean if i could freakin put a guy on fire with my hands then electricute him ishouldget a choice of my characters color and by the time the game is portraying britain inthere were black people (slave trade) some won freedom very quickly

Re: little to no minoritys

Political correctness has no place in gaming. It's bad enough it exists at all.

I look rather dark skinned actually - but that's probably because I'm just so gosh darned evil.

Better say "sarcasm." You don't want to confuse your fellow forum-goers. Small brains sometimes.

Woah. Like medieval/colonial Europe, but there's EVIL there? Damn. That is a change.

Well, here's the thing. What time is it? Since it isn't REALLY Britain, just a parallel/analog world, how can you tell what time it would be in the real Britain? Sure, it's five hundred years after a gunpowder-less medieval era, but that could be... well, actually, I'm not sure. Gunpowder itself is pretty old. I want to say Europeans started using it in the 15th or 16th century. Add five hundred years to the 15th century, say that's when gunpowder first appeared, you have the 1900s. Fable II looks like a lot of things, but WWI is not one of them. Maybe gunpowder appeared more like the 14th century, or the really early 15th, which would place it in the 1800s and a bit more matching to the Fable II world, but... not entirely. For instance, the only steam engine I've seen so far was a small one hooked up to a coupla mine carts. Not much water power, either.

Okay, was that semi-incoherent? Maybe.
