WAS Fable II Really That Bad?
I always use to hear people say how bad and disappointing Fable II was. Well, it has its flaws, but it also added lots of things into the game, which I loved.
Fable II has many glitches, and I mean MANY. But every game has glitches, not every game is perfect.
Fable II is actually a good game.
1. The Dog is introduced, a very great asset to the game. He can find digging spots, hidden treasures, lead a few quests, follows, learn tricks, you can punish him or reward him, play with him, this dog actually had a huge impact on me during the game. I think the Dog was a great addition.
2. The size of the world in Fable II surpassed Fable I greatly. Bowerstone was bigger, new towns such as Oakfield, Bloodstone, and Westcliff. Fable II did a great job giving us freedom, they gave us a world, and I liked it.
3. Looking at the first game, Real Estate is a helluva lot better. You can now buy every house/building, change rents on it, redecorate, sell it, etc, and this time you automatically get money instead of having to collect bags of it.
4. Family life in Fable II grew a wee bit better, but barely. We got a wife in the first one. In II we have a wife, potential for a kid, easier way to have sex, etc etc. This was improved over Fable I.
5. Jobs were cool, but repetitive. But still, a small way to earn gold in large amounts, promotions, the jobs were a great addition as well.
6. Guns Guns Guns. I love Guns, and Fable II did a great job implementing them. There are so many in the game, and I liked them very much. Maybe underestimated, but I like them better.
7. Dyes in the game! Forget about having the Light, Normal, and Dark villager attire, now you have one set of it and it can any color you like!
8. Fable II added lots of weapons, interesting augments, and cool new things such as counters, the aiming thingy (forget its name).
Much more...

Now I know Fable II sucked in some ways. Some liked Bows, but were taken out, only have CROSSbows and guns now. Some liked more magic, but now its been simplified but renovated. Some liked the idea of having Flourish, Roll, etc already learned, now we HAVE to learn to do it. Some liked fishing (like me
)).
So even though Fable II wasn't quite good and almost seemed to downgrade, it still added a good number of things Fable I either failed at or never had.
Let's hope Fable III has better stuff.
