Fable 2/Fable 2 Pub games

The jobs come and go their on a day timer.

I'm only a few hours into the game and really enjoying it so far. I've hung out at Bowerstone(sp) town to max our blacksmithing and stuff to earn some money... but when are you allowed to work at the bar?

Once you finish the first 'The Hero of Will' quest, the Bartending job opens up in Oakfield. It is honestly the easiest way to make money from the minigame jobs as every single pull for a pint takes exactly the same length of time (in a given skill rank). I managed to get through Ranks 1-3 on a single continuious chain in each level. It's even more boring than woodcutting however; staying awake and concentrated is your biggest difficulty. But, the crazy gold multipliers make up for it.

Only grip about the game is not having a minimap. I'm sure once I get used to the layout it won't be much of an issue, but a minimap that had shop/employment/ect icon's would just make the game so much better... can't figure out why they would intentionally leave that out

I hear 'ya. I also liked Fable I's control scheme a lot more where you had a single attack button that was based on which weapon you had out, and you had three magic spells mapped to the X,A,B buttons when you entered Will mode by holding the Right Trigger. It really frustrates me that you have to make such significant choices when it comes to how powerful you want a spell to be: ie. if I have both Time Control and Force Push at Rank 4 I either have to choose one to be a lower rank or faff about during a fight to switch the spells back and forth. To me it's a crap system and I wish they would let you use the Fable I control scheme, even though that would completely negate the way they've set up the Will and attack controls.

So, yeah I decided that I should finish this to give Fallout 3 my full attention...and yeah my thoughts on the ending:

Spoiler: show

Seriously, FUCK THAT ENDING.

Once you get up to Reaver the main story really took a shit all over itself. I have never wanted to kill somebody so bad in a video game ever. And hey, he gets to kill Lucien for me since you know, I'm listening to dialog since I'm expecting something epic. Why in the hell would I do that right? What a great final boss fight!

And seriously as far as the choices...you seriously had to kill my fucking dog as a part of my family? Staying in line with the way I was playing my character, I choose sacrifice and it's pretty much like "Oh, thanks for letting your family die for us, here's a statue!" One of my biggest problems with Fable 2 was that there only seems to be one "good" choice and it seems that in this case Family would have been.

Although oddly, I did see the dog symbol on my map while I was in Fairfax. I haven't checked anywhere else yet, but if I can revive him, I might actually play this more.

Back to Fallout 3...

Regarding the dog and your choice of endings

Spoiler: show

I believe the dog symbol on the map is actually a bug in the game. Your dog will actually appear in a spectral Jedi-esque form by the Demon Door in Rookridge - that door requires you to show off dog tricks and the designers thought you should at least be able to do that even if you choose "Sacrifice". The symbol seems to show up on all maps in the same place, so that's why I'm guessing it's a bug and not actually your dog. However, it's possible you may get to use your "ghost dog" in Farifax to help complete the Archaeologist quests, but I haven't tried since Fallout 3 is all I do now.

I hope this is the case. When I go back to the game, I'd really like to keep doing the Archaeologist quest line.

Anyways, Fallout 3 calls!

edit: nvm found my answer,

anyway, another point of discussion, is it actually possible to get some totally sweet horns (as per front of box) or do you only get that pale red eyed thing goin' on?

[izembo]

my horns hooked down close to my mouth, that was all

[Stiker]

Randomly decided to turn this on and try to test out my previous question. If you didn't chose the family option...

Spoiler: show

...and your dog is dead, you can indeed to the archeologist quest still. If you are in the right area, the trail will light up (if the quest is active) and lead you to a dig zone. However, I couldn't seem to hit the right exact spot in that circle and came up with nothing >.>
