Well this is mind shattering news. Now I have to go scrounging through my change purse.

Thanks for posting this, Tyrant. I had an idea that the legendary items would not be trade-able, and it's a shame they are not, but at least we've now been given a solid answer.

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

You must work at Lion Head Studios or something. The budget has a lot to do with it, sure it might take a developer there a day to make the weapon, but that's a whole day of work they would have to pay the guy.

Lion head would be making money from setting up special deals with game companies like EB and Gamestop and what not to add these special weapons into the game. Now would it be fair for someone to just go and trade a special edition weapon to someone who didn't pay the full price to get the special edition of Fable. 50 weapons is what they said they had to make, if you didn't read the quote in the first post, and 50 weapons is what they made. The bonus weapons would be whatever didn't make it into that list and bundled with the special editions. Not being able to trade these weapons is not a big deal at all. Just move on and go find the other weapons that are actually in the game.

yep thats what i was stressing about it. Ye people spend hundreds of dollars on preorder stuff and then end up trading in the actual game for 1/3 of price lol.

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

Yeah so the pre-order stuff isn't tradeable - but 50 legendary weapons!??!?!

There's an achievement for getting all 50 legendary weapons, and guess what? not all 50 is in your Fable world - you'll have to trade your way to the half 100... hmm kinda sucks they had to scrap the trading system now, eh?

It's like the Dollcatcher achievement all over again - except this time, you actually want to collect this stuff!

Since I'm not a game developer, I can't say for sure. I doubt it takes more than an hour to actually make a weapon and add it to the game. No, they don't make extra money for including these weapons and tattoos. All it is, is an incentive for people to pre-order the game which most people will do anyways if the game looks good enough. Again, you never paid attention to what else was said. These pre-order weapons were not a part of the 50 legendary weapons. EVER.

They were thrown in last minute so different stores would have different bonuses. That's it. It obviously didn't take them that long considering how quickly they were announced. It is a big deal to those of us who collect them. If you don't want to or if you don't care about them, that's fine. But stop being ignorant and claiming it isn't a big deal for those of us who DO care.

It isn't a big deal. I'm still gonna buy them off ebay tho...

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

Blame the special deal companies like game and eb, not Lionhead. I doubt this affects the majority of Fable III players anyway.

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

open your eyes dude its 1 acheivment for god sake and your trying to spend extra money for 1 acheivment. Save your money man if anything get the collector edition. You get more for your money. Btw we have to pay extra 20$ for something that halff of what were getting isnt even in the game.(playing cards,coin.etc) if you want me to spend 20 more dollars then add more to game than 1 quest,sword,dog,outfit. It should have been in the game to start. Thats what grinds my gears lol

Oh right, how could I forget? The stores are the ones who designed the game and the weapons! Derp. My bad.

(Yeah, sorry, that's me being sarcastic.)

There's only one company to blame and that's Lionhead. No matter how rabid your fanaticism gets it, it doesn't change facts.

It is a big deal. I'd buy them too if I was rich but being poor doesn't allow such luxuries.

First of all, pay attention; the pre-order weapons are NOT the same as the legendary weapons in the game.

Secondly, your rant is incoherent, you need to work on that if you expect to ever be taken seriously.

 

[El Mosqueton]

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

Yes, because the stores are the ones who designed the game and the weapons, amirite?

They're the ones who paid for them...

It really isn't. It's not game breaking or anything. And you also didn't have 3 legendaries in Fable II, but that wasn't a bid deal now, was it?.

Think about it. Did not having the Wreckager and the Championship weapons affect your FII experience?

Yes, actually, it did.

Killing yourself is the only way to fix this problem.

lol jk.

No, it didn't, you didn't even knew they exsisted!

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

Yes it did. Who are you to say what did and didn't affect me? More importantly, why ask that question if you supposedly know how I felt? Seems awfully redundant and pointless.

I knew about the Wreckager but not the Championship weapons. However, the fact that I have known about them for a while now has lessened my gaming experience.

Re: Pre-order Weapons: UNTRADEABLE.

Who's to say what's "real"? It's not your job to tell people what's worth collecting and what's not. I enjoy collecting STD's, for example. Do some people think that's wrong? Yes. But it doesn't matter, because it's what I enjoy.
