Ya but... I just don't see the point of gauntlets. Like I don't get it. Why would you need gauntlets to cast a will spell?

Probably because time has passed in Albion. You aren't capable of mastering will in the way that the Hero of Bowerstone did. So you need Gauntlets to call your own will powers and to manipulate them in a better way.

Of course, the more you use your will powers, the more the level of the gauntlets will go up, therefore you become more powerful in magic.

i wish will power would destroy technology forever in Albion.
if this is possible when i become king in my Albion, i'll make everyone study on will user and will power so magic stay forever.

Will power has already destroyed Albion once in the past. Though I doubt that the Royal powers in Fable III would reach this extent, to even force what others should learn.

That's slightly incorrect (because William Black, the first Archon himself built the spire and destroyed Albion using it) . However, a better example of will saving Albion is Solcius which saved Albion (or Bowerstone if you prefer)

william black did defeat jack ,knight ,queen of blade ,
fable 2 didn't tell which Archon made wish .

Actually the Gauntlets mechanic seems to be good enough. I mean, Albion's going forward with technology and ages, the old ways of the will have started to be long and slowly forgotten by the people.

In Fable II magic was rare and uncommon, in Fable III magic will be something restricted to the hero and few creatures. Of course casting a spell in the middle of a town will scary the people for sure.

You must remember - Will users arent like the wizards of some stories where magic is a science. To them, Magic is innate - a part of their being, a piece of their mind. My theory is the gauntlets serve to bring out the actual power - the previous two heroes had to be in the guild before their Will powers activated, and if you look, you'll notice the gauntlets have the Guild symbol on them. I think they are mostly a gameplay mechanic, but it seems they still serve to work with the Hero's powers.

Also, I don't think William the Black built the Spire. I think that was built by a later Archon, cause by that time, William the Black had left his kingdom (I forget if it was out of shame of what had become of his descendants or if it was because what his trip to the Void had done to him.)

I don't know, maybe. I still don't like the idea. If your a descendant from the Archon you shouldn't need gauntlets to use will.

I guess I'll just have to try and get used to it though...

Re: Will user - From will-markings to liverspots

For those who don't wish to get "technical" with the use of gauntlets in terms of "pixilated bloodlines" and the such, one option would be to simply look at them as a means of reconnecting the casual gamer into the world of Albion. Rather than having to open the old GUI (which has been scrapped) and clicking which spells the player wishes to forge together and morph, this is a visual connection placed in an easy-to-access Chamber. We won't know why this was done for sure, in fact, whatever explanation was placed in the game can be assessed as a filler for the decision. This is Lionhead's "child," they can do what ever they want, when ever they want.

No need to assume too much for an innovation that could possibly be "trash-canned" at a whim - look at the ring system, or for those that followed the Fable II hype, pre-birth adventuring for pregnant female heroes (no need to discuss the moral standings of why this was removed, there is a thread for that), to name a few. Though, nothing wrong with a compelling debate, certainly.

*This post is, of course, not attesting to any certainties or absolute fact, simply opinions (my two-cents). All previous points have been noted and are equally plausible, perhaps even commendable for not being as obvious as my own.

Re: Will user - From will-markings to liverspots

just how story going
less and less will user showing up in game
in the future of fable game going be none then hero would be rediscover magic on his own and way destroy shadow court.
just say how going for magic

The mechanic looks a lot more accessible to casual players, and the fable series has always 'tried' to be accessible (personally i think that this new system with less lists looks way better)

Re: Will user - From will-markings to liverspots

I love magic, and guess I will have to put up with it, but hopefully there will be potions to remedy the effects?
Interesting discussion. +rep

Wait a sec! So are you saying that there is a unique gauntlet for every single spell!? That's annoying! NOOOOO! :'(

Re: Will user - From will-markings to liverspots

I so hope that the gauntlets are merely a visual mechanic, and not the hero's 'training wheels' for the metaphorical bicycle that is magic

Re: Will user - From will-markings to liverspots

Wait, our characters are going to look older for using will? That makes me pretty dissapointed in the game... Did Lionhead confirm this?
