No XP to spend on SKILLS?!?!?!?

why did they take out the xp points?
it is an RPG game, why to take the "action out of an action movie"
spending xp points and customizing the character is HUGE role in RPG games why the hell they will take it out?

and whats the thing with the followers system it sound so stupid, i dont use twiter so i have to join twiter and make friends to play fable 3 in order to be more stronger in game? THIS IS WIERD!!!!

Re: No XP to spend on SKILLS?!?!?!?

you dont need twitter to play f3, peter moleneux was just saying, that you get more powerful in the game, the same way you get more popular in twitter, by having followers.

he only scrapped the exp system from f2 because bearly anyone understood it. which he could of easily just improved the exp system, and gave a tutorial on how to use it, then no one would complain.

because to me, followers doesn't make me seem powerful, just popular. since followers are what you need to overthrow logan, i don't see why they couldn't of had both in the game.

the point is alot of people DONT want twitter or facebook or anything like that to be involved with Fable!, i mean for example f i want to look powerful or something like that, i must have followers in twitter, but WHY the hell i want Twitter!?!? i refuse to have twitter but i want to play fable, i think all of this twitter thing is for lionhead to make more money (twitter is paying them). so instead of taking the XP point out they could just improve it.

twitter is not part of fable 3....

peter moleneux just used the concept of having npc's be or your side, when you come to overthrow logan.
so doing certain quests or marrying someone important would make a certain amount of npc's "follow you" and be on your side.

I think I can explain this more clearly...

The NPC's (Like the townspeople) from the game are going to be your followers....Your crew....Your peasant army....Your homies....Whatever you want to call them...You NEED them to help you overthow the tyrant...Your brother...Logan

Fable 3 is in NO WAY connected to Twitter or Facebook or anything else....

Twitter was PM's inspiration. Where the hell did you get your idea that you need twitter?

The people of Albion are your followers, not people on Twitter or Facebook.

Now, about the experience system, it is far from gone. It is being improved upon. Molyneux thought that the experience system from TLC and Fable 2 was too two-dimensional. Now, instead of absorbing orbs and using the experience you've collected to upgrade your abilities on your own, the game will do it for you. When you use your ranged weapons, for example, you will become more adept in skill. The same goes for strength and Will.

PM said he was taking many RPG elements out of Fable. Obviously, this is one of them. The EXP system sucked anyway.

I also recall hearing that you can actually become less proficient at a particular skill if you go a while without using it.

Dunno if it's true, though.

I never did like sucking the orbs anyway ;O It just got annoying

Re: No XP to spend on SKILLS?!?!?!?

i didnt really see a point in having to absorb the exp, since we earn it, and there is no real reason to lose it. except for the part where you rescue garth.

and i like the idea of becoming weaker in a skill if you dont use it as much, since it would make the game last a little longer if every time you spend abit longer increasing skills.
and it seems like a more natural way of discarding skills, which would also make it impossible to abuse the second character exp glitch.

Contrary to the word on the street.

That sounds like the whole San Andreas skill system.
Am I going to be stopping by the gym every day just to not lose my massive muscles?

No, think Oblivion skills. That is probably the best guess thus far.

Re: No XP to spend on SKILLS?!?!?!?

Well... I do like the idea that your skills improve as you use them and not by sucking on exp balls, but I'm still not sure if skill rotting is good idea...
It could easily become a huge annoyance to run around and train (or whatever) to keep your skills in shape...
I know that it's more logical like that, but still... like I said... I'm neutral on this one...
