Re: my wishlist and ideas
I do most agree with the many suggestions and possibilities of the upcoming Fable 2 that you have stated. I too wish certain traits of the character role and abillities.
Such ideas like the enableing of online/ live play, but inorder for such a thing to happen, you would have to come up with the pro's and con's of such an idea. I have thought about that and am willing to share my thoughts on the subject to you if you would be willing to share the credit of such an idea by anouncing my user name, saying I had a part in this thought/ discusion, since I recently registered and havn't a clue on posting my own ideas.
My ideas: Fable 2 Online
1. The character for the campaign and character for online play should be separate characters. For one reason why is the fairness of the character lvl in turn with the other character lvls online, to just login with your existing character would be unfair seeing that most of the players would have every skill and achievement and that would lead to bourdom because who wants to interact and play online with a character that has done everything anywa.
2. Another great idea would be the character facial and body customization. Have it be made that you can change your characters design and look so that he/she can look close to your personal apperance or what you wish to look like, have the variations be great. Be able to change character hight, weight, gender, voice, body tone, facial tone skin color and the list continues. Without character customization well you'd probably see more than half of the population male with long hair, normal beard, sherif mustash and muscular and the other half female with long beautifull hair and a large "rack size".
3. Quests: everyone wants to do quests but is there enough for more than one hero. Thats one problem I see with online gomeing with Fable 2. There'd have to be a posibility of clanning or group questing, only insead of the same quests, adding additional quests for larger groups for more chances of XP and gold. And the option of shared XP and gold is still bugging me in weather it should be done for fareness in lvling up process, it would take longer to lvl up but you would suffer less items and potions because of instead of taking on a stone troll single handedly, you have friends to take some of the damage and deal damage as well. So in other perspectives, it may just take the same time to lvl up, only that you'd have to kill multiple enemys for the sake that it would take less time to kill enemys.
4. Attacking other avatars or avatar clans: such an idea brings great responsibility such as when, where, and why to do so. Such problems like losing "luggage" on your person when you die. This idea how ever brings the roll play of the reserection vile into play, I mean, who dies in fable, i have never died once and to die on the game would either mean (in my opinion) that fable is not your game, you arn't good at the game, or your to young to understand the game. In other words, the buying of resurection viles would be on greater demand and would stat that "who is truely good at fable, other than say well I beat the game 100 times or in 5 hrs." I can't say I havn't done either of those, but I can say I've gone scarrless throught the game (besides after the tourture in jail).
These are just several ideas of mine that I think would bring great fun, enjoyment, and difficulty to Fable 2. I just hope when it comes out its harder and longer than Fable the lost chapters. Something that I could be scarred by.
Thankyou for your time and I hope you take these thoughts into insiration and further thoughts in the Fable 2 matter.
