Underwater

It would be good if instead of just pressing A to dive underwater and get treasure you actually get to swim around and search underwater for hidden treasure.

Re: Underwater

No thanks.
That would include underwater quests - and nobody likes underwater quests.. only odd people

They are almost as bad as lava quests

Re: Underwater

from what i remember in fable 2, swimming wasnt all that good, just a small way of navigating small areas and diving for nearly always useless items.

i wouldn't mind diving, since then we could find items by seeing them in water and not just a ripple.
but still, fable 2 had alot of annoyances when swimming such as going close to a rock and having to swim slowly, or when trying to turn around and walk up steps of the water, getting stuck between the step and the edge of the step.

this would probably need alot more artwork to add to all the towns and animations, but it could increase exploration in the game.

Re: Underwater

Honestly, SCREW swimming.

I just played Fable TLC. It reminded me of just how much I HATE the way you walk/run in Fable II.
Seriously, am I the only one who feels like that's just off?
It feels like the hero is not responding, like he's running on ice - or hovering above the ground.
Pretty please, Lion Head, I have already seen that you intend to use the same way of walking/running in Fable III as you did in Fable II - RECONSIDER!
It's horrible!

Re: Underwater

Nay. Then you would have to deal with some sort of "air meter" while you search for stuff. And the developers would probably hide a lot of good stuff in tricky places where it's easy to drown. A lot of games do this and I think its a real PIA. I'm not to fond of having those dive spots in the game either. I say just give us the ability to swim across water and bring back fishing.

Yeah, the movement in that game is rather delayed in responding. I find myself over correcting and "fishtailing" and just bumbling all over the place like an idiot. I hope they correct this.

Re: Underwater

I liked fullyfledged swimming in San Andreas, but I don't know. It would be pretty cool if you could just dive to explore creatures at depths and such.

Re: Underwater

Re: Underwater

we can spread wings(fable 3) and raise the dead, but we cant breathe underwater?

I never thought of that, maybe an an underwater breathing spell and some under water monsters would be fun after all, but I hate limited air, it sucks arse.

Re: Underwater

that sound like a good idea, but again, wings and undead make the character seem powerful as peter wanted, but being able to swim underwater doesn't really give you a sense of power and success?

 

[HobbeBrain]

Re: Underwater

Perhap you should only be able to swim underwater after you've learnt the spell for breathing underwater?

 

[Dracelix]

Re: Underwater

but even still, it doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment

 

[HobbeBrain]

Re: Underwater

Hey! How about you can swim, and when you dive you sink to the bottom of the water and you can walk on the sea floor! Explore underwater remains, fight water monsters and stuff, you must admit that would be pretty cool.

 

[Dracelix]

Re: Underwater

sounds abit like oblivion, which want really any use.
fable graphics are alot better than oblivion graphics, which would probably make it more buggy than oblivion

 

[Evan]

Re: Underwater

anyhting can be an accomplishment. raising the dead is just a spell and breathing underwater can be one too

 

[Dracelix]

Re: Underwater

yes, but being able to summon undead would make me feel awesome, but breathing underwater would just feel cool.

it seems more of a gimmick.

 

[Evan]

Re: Underwater

ya i guess. but meeting the little mermaid would make me feel awsome

Re: Underwater

Your character walking around underwater:

lol

Re: Underwater

No thanks.

Agreed, I can't stand underwater quests/missions.

 

[Dracelix]

Re: Underwater

what exactly do you mean by under water quests?

because fable 3 is trying to make the character experience things more, by mechanics rather than holding a for decisions, i think that they have some way of improving diving so it isn't holding a, i doubt it is going underwater, but possibly something like the fishing in f1.
