A hobbe is a type of creature in Fable, and they come in different ranks, they usually act as foes.

My favourite quest in Fable is when you have to go through Hobbe caves with the bandits that you freed and go and fight those pixie things.

Mind you, that whole game was epic.

Thankyou, Munkeh, you've got me to start the game over again.

Well... you could also just be mean to the recently freed bandit and swap him once you reach the Pixies.

Fable 2 is going to be AWESOME!!! I am sick and tired of waiting. This thread doesn't help either.

 

 I could never play that game as evil, I just couldn't do it. And I don't think that Fable 2's more advanced moral system, with families, and animals involved is going to help me jump across to the dark side any easier.

Only time I became evil was when I decided to kill off entire towns so I could buy all the houses and rent them out.

 

 

 Heh, I assume that you were aware of all the money glitches.

The glitch that most people knew about was where they buy a house, break its doors, put all their trophies up, sell the house (for more 'cause of trophies), walk in, take all trophies out (possible because doors are gone), and buy the house back (for price without trophies). Obviously, the better the trophies you had, the quicker it would be to get lots of money.

Then there was the trader glitch, where you could walk up to a trader, and buy all of his goods. Then, because the stocks are high in demand, you sell them to him at an inflated price, because he then gets all of his stocks back, the price returns to normal, enabling you to buy them again at the cheap price, and selling them at the bigger price. This was much easier than the house glitch, because you didn't need to actually move, you just had to interact with the trader. Also, the more stuff he sells, for the more money (weapons dealers are always great, 'specially ones later on in the game), the quicker it is to make loads of money.

Absolutely. How else would I get over 2Mill gold? Buy up Emeralds, sell them all, buy them all, sell them all, rinse and repeat.

Better yet, grab a few mercenaries, head into a town where weapons are not allowed and let them kill the town off for you.

This allowed me to buy out towns like Bowerstone. :)

Doesn't it suck knowing we still need to wait about 3 months for Fable 2?

I played Fable for the first time 2 months ago, best $10 purchase I ever made.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

 I'm going to probably have to wait longer than that, as I preferred Fable on the PC. But, I might get it for the 360, probably both in the end (360 thanks to my lack of patience, PC thanks to the better controls, nicer graphics, and more content).

One of my main griped with Fable is when you become the mayor of Bowerstone.... it gives you zero power. If I were the mayor I'd be telling the guards what to do, not have them tell me. Or, atleast, heavily increase taxes.

I played through as both.  Once each on the Xbox version, once as evil on the PC Lost Chapters version.

That cave level was AWESOME, but it was the only part of the game I actually found hard.  I think I tried it too early.  Hobbes are fun little things, but you have to make sure you take down the ones with ranged attacks first.

Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

I dont get why everyone is so incredibly excited about this game. I know it is going to be good, but why is everyone getting so giddy about the thought of this game?



I don't know what it is but I can never play a bad guy in any videogame.

I'm really looking forward to this game but I need to get Fable 1 first since I never played that one, but I can't find the damn game anywhere without paying a fortune for it.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
