I hope there's alotta weapon techniques, like counter attacks, actual stabbing, and stuff. Assassins creed is the best sword game out right now, it has been one of the first games u could actually stab through a guy, not just hack n slashm to death.
And ya crossbows have been confirmed as far as i know.

sissy rapiers!? pft fight a guy with a rapier when you have a big axe you cant lift you wont last 3 seconds.

yeah but if the guy with the rapier after killin' the axe wielding maniac and what not turns round and comes face to face with a Samurai wielding a Katana then who'll be laughing?

P.S Sorry if i'm bumping an old thread i just couldn't tell what the last posts date was.

Re: No shiny new swords?

i read somewhere on this forum that the massive barbarian swords are done away with? Is it true? AQre we stuck with sissy rapiers and buckshot? It cant be.

I have never heard this anywhere before. But if this is true, then I will be disappointed beyond belief.

Rapiers suck. Did you know that they where actually invented as more of a fashion accessory rather than a weapon? A rapier is long, thin, and heavy, and is only usefull if you stab someone whith it, if you tryed to swing it it would most likely break. A rapier isn't a sword, its a twig!

edit

the rapiers i am refering to in this post are the early versions of the 1500s. since fable 2 is taking place 500 years later in the time where guns have just been invented, i figured that if rapiers are going to be in the game that it would be the early versions. these early versions where heavy and not very nimble but the later versions are much different.

Not sure, but I know there are upgrades for the weapons. Maybe by the time we visit the old guild ruins, we can dig some bigger weapons up?

Re: No shiny new swords?

It has been confirmed no bows. Guns and Crossbows.

:realmad::realmad::realmad::realmad::realmad::realmad::realmad:

No guns? Every video, I've seen has guns. That does'nt make sense.

Re: No shiny new swords?

the modders train will come along with plenty of bows for all who are getting it for PC

Re: No shiny new swords?

dude.... we better not be stuck with stupid rapiers. if rapiers are in it, fine, but they better not take out the REAL swords!:realmad::realmad::realmad: i dont use ranged much so i dont care about the guns. guns are nice.

no what he means is that there will not be bows, but there WILL be guns and crossbows. make sense now?

Re: No shiny new swords?

I`d like to see one-edged swords, like katanas. Katanas in Fable were too short and "fat", I`d like to see them as they really are.
And also BIG swords and small swords and daggers and axes and stuff.

Rapiers suck. Did you know that they where actually invented as more of a fashion accessory rather than a weapon? A rapier is long, thin, and heavy, and is only usefull if you stab someone whith it, if you tryed to swing it it would most likely break. A rapier isn't a sword, its a twig!

Lots of weapons are meant for stabbing only. If we take the ancient Romans, they used their short swords to stab from the cover of their shield.
Cover, stab, cover, stab, cover, stab etc...

He meant no classic bows.
Instead of bows there will be only Crossbows and Guns.

Thought the period was a comma. Whoops, I feel dumb. Horribly nearsighted.:blush:Glad to hear I'm wrong.

As a fencer (SCA not Olympic) and studier of sword arts, I am deeply insulted. Unless you have studied and handled rapiers on a trained fashion, I'd suggest staying silent instead making such uninformed claims.

He was talking about ingame rapiers.

Re: No shiny new swords?

You are underestimating the power of stabbing.
