No shiny new swords?

Re: No shiny new swords?

Well if you're so easily insulted then you shouldn't be going anywhere near the internet, besides he was talking about rapiers in such a game.

It is not about being easily insulted, it is about him being ignorant about a subject and making brash comments about it. Now if he said something a little more moderate such, "I dislike rapiers due the fighting style that they entail", that would be a different story, but instead he went into a seemingly ranting temper tantrum-like state similar to a child.
Reread the comment he made that I quoted. At that point, there is absolutely no mention of the game, but instead his comments are directed at the weapon in general.
It is easy for you to say,"You are too easily insulted" when you are not the one being insulted. I have serious doubts that at in no point in your life have not been insulted by someone or something.

I shall leave it at that as my closing argument because my comments are detracting from the subject at hand at this point, and I fear a full-blown argument will break out if I continue to contribute.

Re: No shiny new swords?

Not trying to start an argument here but i don't see why your'e so upset about him disliking rapiers with a passion?

i mean that's his opinion and he's entitled to say that rapiers suck and all that i mean i don't get upset when people say kendo has no point even if they don't know what they're talking about mainly because i realise that to them kendo really does SUCK!

but hopefully he might go into fable 2 and find out that rapiers aren't that bad!

and i don't think Peter would take out everyone's favourite Big slashy swords mainly on the mute point that he doesn't want to receive anymore death-threats from unhappy nit-pickers

sorry for the little speech that's just my two cents

No need to apologize. You responded in a polite manner^_^

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.



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...

I understand that and I have nothing against short swords. but if you actually saw a rapier you would understand what im talking about. its long and heavy and mostly used for dueling so it wouldn't be of much use in battle. and most rapiers are just to look pretty. i think the rapier is the only sword i truly dislike.

It is not about being easily insulted, it is about him being ignorant about a subject and making brash comments about it. Now if he said something a little more moderate such, "I dislike rapiers due the fighting style that they entail", that would be a different story, but instead he went into a seemingly ranting temper tantrum-like state similar to a child.

well i ment no offence and i didnt mean to sound like a child. i can see the point of a rapier and i was refering more to the old kind. all i ment was i reallly hope that they didnt take out all the other swords and just left us with rapiers. that comment was really just to be funny and i see now that it was rather childish and for that i am sorry. i just get rather passionate with what i want to see in fable 2. i really dont want to start an argument here and i see your point. i really truly am sorry. but just for the record i am not totally unedgucated about rapiers cuz i did do a report on weapons of shakespears time and that was the type of rapier i was refering to. but i do admit that you definetlly know more about swords than me. sorry!:blush:

Re: No shiny new swords?

Miekkas, hope I spelled that right.
I'm looking forward to the swords, as some us won't be muscle bond and need to be swift. I plan on using a lot of magic. I've seen some clips of the sword play where you can pin people up against a wall with the sword. Peter talked about being able to stab 2 people at once with the sword, when your skilled enough. And if I'm friendly enough with the blacksmith, possibly neat upgrades to be had for it?

Looking back at my post that resembles a lecture >.<, I realize was over-zealous and harsh towards you, so I should apologise, especially after I insulted you by calling you childish and ignorant. My apologies. :blush:

Ah, the early versions of Shakespeare's Era (1500s, I think right?). I do recognize what you mean now. Compared the lighter versions developed later on, which became known as smallswords, they were indeed heavy and not nearly as nimble.

EDIT:
My thoughts on swords in Fable 2: Personally I hope we see a return of all the older swords yet see a few newer versions/types such as rapiers, sabres, etc. with their own unique fighting styles, speed, damage, etc.

Re: No shiny new swords?

Yes thats exactly what I was talking about! I really have no idea what rapiers are like now. But you where right, I was rather childish, and I needed a lecture. So I guess we where both wrong. Oh well at least we got that straightened out!

Well you have a good point, and for my random blurting I apologize.
But you really don't have to get that wound up.

I saw a video where it showed the stabbing of 2 people at once and it was so cool. Don't know how to place links, though. And where you can pin people up against a wall that was so totally awesome.

Re: No shiny new swords?

just for the record, when i said that rapiers suck i was refering only to the early versions of the 1500s. since fable2 is gonna take place 500 years later i figured that if rapiers where gonna be in the game that that would be the version of the rapier that would be in it. and those rapiers did suck! they where heavy and klunky and not nearly as nimble as the later versions. and i am not underestimating the power of stabing. i like stabing just as much as the next person. that is all.

Poor Griffin, I believe you, I think we'll all be amazed by the sword play in the new game. I can't wait to get two enemies at once.

Re: No shiny new swords?

where did that come from?!? oh and thanks moonfever for beliving me. im real sick of that one comment coming back and biting me in the ***. so everyone please stop quoteing it! i totally take it back!

 

[cheezMcNASTY]

Re: No shiny new swords?

Perhaps when you are a blacksmith you can fashion a sword that is much more nimble (Foils and Katanas perhaps?)

 

[Caboose]

Re: No shiny new swords?

Not all Katana's are nimble they vary on what type of smithy made them and what metal is used and what type of kata was focused on for the sword and also the way it should cut.....

Hopefully you'll be able to have neat patterns on the blade and runes and stuff as well! or maybe when you augment it instead of that wierd glow in Fable 1 it changes a bit of the swords design depending on what augmentations you use so everyone will be able to find a unique enough design!!
