In the words of a great Professor of Sociology, the difference between men and women shopping is that men hunt. We go into the store, go straight to what we need, undistracted by anything else that may look good on us, pick the size that probably fits us (even though we may not be sure of our actual size we still don't try it on), bring it to the cashier, buy it, and leave. As opposed to women... which I will not go into. lol.
But that aside when I shop in Fable is fairly simple. Until I reach a high enough level of awesomeness I simply buy the best equipment that'll keep my ass from dying. Then once I reach my supreme God status I go out, buy everything, and wear what I feel since my hero could probably take on all of Albion with one eye open, one hand behind his back, and his shoelaces tied together. lol.
