The Main Quest, And The Side Quests
Hey guys. Well, as we all know, Fable 2 will have a main quest. But, you can do other things as well. This viewpoint is very skeptical. For example, in most FPS games...you really don't explore alot, just focus on the main mission. But for a game like Fable 2, third person (of course), just doing a main quest for me is very boring.
I came up with this issue because of a previous thread, where a user was talking about a "Pirate" feature, how you could go out to the sea and raid ships..etc etc. Well we all know of Elder Scrolls:IV as a game of doing alot of stuff, without doing the main quest.
Fable 1 had other quests thant he main one, but they didn't really make you get out of the main quest. When I said doing the main quest is boring, I meant this:
In Elder Scrolls:Oblivion, alot of what your going to do (during themain quest) is go through oblivion gates and fight Daedra. But when you are doing that, you could just finish up the gate and do another quest. But also, the quests other than the main storyline in Oblivion were just as fun. In Fable 1, the side quests really weren't as enjoyable, and it made me just do the main quest in the end.
Then again, I felt you could do so much in oblivion, you could forget about the main quest. It's like, "oh...the siege engine is coming!But it's alright, you can still do that mages guild quest"
Of course, the main quest will always be better in a sense of adventure and action. Though, i've always wanted Fable 2 to have real adventure, rather than just a main quest.
Butalso, I hope Fable 2 will be like,"Oh well you can do other things than the main quest but, we want you to know there's still a main quest you need to do"
Dene Carter said in an interview:
"So the idea is that the core quest is pretty much completable by everybody, there’s going to be a whole bunch of different rewards and various bits and pieces that will open up depending on how skilful you are, so there’s lots of rewards to stretch it further, but also there’s going to be huge sections of the game there that will stall things for a while and tell the player, “Okay, go away and have some fun. Do some stuff. We don’t care what that is. Just do some stuff.” If you’re not particularly keen on combat, go and do something with the economy. If you don’t care about the economy stuff that’s great, if you’d rather be doing the fighting stuff and going somewhere else and doing something purely heroic, go and do that! They will both allow you to progress to the end, but we’re trying to make sure there are at least these kind of time-out periods where people are told, “You don’t have to race through any more. It’s fine. Things aren’t happening.”"
So hopefully, the quests in Fable 2 will keep you awake just like the main quest.
So what are your opinions of questing in Fable 2? Would you rather just do the main quest, or do other quests as well?

And, both seem to have good storylines and quests.
