Despite sinking millions of my own cash into the treasury, I only had $2.2M when I finished day 122. I was never sure what was ahead, so how would I know if I had enough time to make the financial goal?Īs it turned out, I didn’t, not by a long shot.
This wasn’t a year at all! After I finished the last item on each daily list, I would automatically be teleported into the future by an uncertain amount of days. After my next, 290, then 220 and all of a sudden 120. After my first day of rule, there were 360 days left. One decision always made the people happy, but cost you an ass ton of money, and the other would make them boo you in the streets, but the literal mountain of gold in your treasury would grow.įor the first few days, I always did the nice thing, thinking by the time the invasions rolled around I would have enough coin to finance the entire war myself, and as proud owner of every building in Albion, I figured that was a reasonable goal.īut then time started speeding up. The second half of the game is not a half at all, it was merely an extra hour or so, where each day you would wake up, wander over to your throne room and make some decision whether or not to build an orphanage or farm the children for their organs.
I needed $6.5M to save them all, and making $100,000 every five minutes of gameplay (as I owned almost every store and piece of property in the country) I thought I had a pretty reasonable shot with 365 days on the clock. The way to do this was to fill the kingdom’s treasure with gold. As it turns out, my brother was such a dick to prepare for an incoming invasion of evil, and I would have to now decide whether or not to please the people at the risk of their safety, or become hated but fend off their impending doom.
#The bards tale steam freezing how to
I am literally now given the option to be an angel (good) king or devil (evil) king, (with wings to match) by deciding how to rule the kingdom. (Spoilers ahead from now on in this section).īut now, the game tells me, your journey is just beginning, you’re king now and have to decide how to rule. Soon I was ready to overthrow the king, and so I did with ease. Gathering allies across a nation by doing various quests to win their favor might not be the most original idea in RPG history, but it’s acceptable enough. I have no problem with the first part of the game. But when I thought Fable 3 was just getting started, things were over in a flash. I liked Fable 2 because it kept going long after I thought it had reached its peak. The fact that I’ve already beaten this game is the genesis for me writing this post at all. I detail each aspect of the game that infuriates me, and if you’re a fan of the series, or just come here because you like hearing me bitch about stuff, then boy, this is the post for you. It’s a rant of epic proportions clocking in at 2,800 words and counting. I feel so strongly about all the things that are wrong with this game, what you’re about to witness is literally the longest single post in Unreality history. Baking pies is the same mechanic as forging iron, a nobleman is just as uninteresting in appearance and speech as a peasant, and a magic gun kills foes as easily as a regular one. Not bothering to make any of the jobs different from each other, any of the people different from each other, or any of the weapons different from each other.
There are virtually no differences in gameplay or features from the last game, the designers not bothering to add new weapon types or spells. Yes, it still had some issues to be resolved, but surely those would at least improve somewhat in the third chapter, right?įable 3 might be one of the laziest games I’ve ever played. It expanded customization, skills, the plot, everything was deeper, richer and had more thought put into it. I liked Fable 2 because it improved over its predecessor. So why then, do I hate, hate, hate this one so much? It’s strange, because in many ways it’s exactly like Fable 2, which I actually chose as my game of the year when it was released. I just beat Fable 3, one of my most anticipated games of the year, and much to my surprise, I absolutely loathed it.
