Fable 2: Best Legendary Weapons Ranked

Fable 2: Best Legendary Weapons Ranked

Coming in with a damage characteristic of 90, and boasting 4 empty augmentation slots, the Royal Sceptre provides its user with an insane amount of power. Due to the empty slots, the Royal Sceptre is the most versatile melee weapon in the game, allowing the hero to harness a wide arrange of enhanced powers as they see

Fable has an added layer of depth to it that many other similar RPGs didn't at the time: its morality system. In reality, the morality system at play here really only comes down to your character becoming good or evil, with some gray area in between. While it might not be as nuanced as the system employed in the Mass Effect series, Fable wants you to think about how your actions affect the world of Albion and its inhabita

The depth of Fable goes far beyond the reaches of exploration, quests, and combat. Your character can purchase a house in one of four locations across Albion. On doing so, you'll be able to store much of your inventory and even raise a family th

Consequences exist, but unlike in Aesop’s fables, the consequences rarely fall upon those who deserve them in the modern world. They just get pushed onto others who are forced to writhe in the background, cursing those that put them there, but never seeing justice. A bizarre adventure indeed, but one that is more poignant than e

The Red Dragon unleashes a stream of lightning fast rounds into foes. It comes equipped with the Lucky Charm and Devastation augments. While the Lucky Charm augment was covered in the previous entry, the Devastation augment inflicts causes its user to inflict increased damage on oppone

While it seems like common sense to neutralize the healer/support first, doing so will enrage Maki and cause him to buff himself. On the other hand, if both Maki and Kina are defeated first, Yin will automatically surrender. There are many strategies the player can take when fighting this bat

Once players defeat the Wasp King in Bug Fables and participate in the concluding celebration, they have beaten the game. However, the game's not over after the credits roll. This charming title has a post-game that offers players a chance to see how the world of Bugaria has changed following the discovery of the Everlasting Sapling and the subsequent fall of the Wasp Ki

Fable , the incredible original Xbox 360 Emulator-exclusive RPG , has been around for almost two decades. The land of Albion offers players a beautifully realized fantasy world, but with that comes an almost intimidating amount of lore, characters, and secrets. Fable is not only a renowned game because of its seminal gameplay and storytelling ( which is often underrated today ), but also because it can be an overwhelming experience for first-time play

The world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure focuses on the Joestar family for far too long. It is, after all, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, so it makes sense that this titular adventure would follow Jonathan Joestar and his descendants. However, once you’ve caught up to Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable , you start to see that there’s more to the world of JoJo than just one family and a cursed bloodline. Josuke Higashikata , Part 4’s protagonist, starts to take a back seat while his pals and acquaintances step into a more central role. The growth of the initially shy Koichi Hirose into the confident and assertive young lad we see at the beginning of Part 5 is emblematic of that shift. Koichi is, arguably, more of a protagonist than Josuke ever was, with more of the traditional shounen story beats associated with him as opposed to the rest of the cast. This was where it became clear that the world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure deserved to be explored further, away from the Joestar family - and with Netflix’s Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan , we finally get just t

I played every Hideo Kojima gameFast forward many years and the man becomes absurdly wealthy thanks to an inheritance from a relative and, um, becoming a corn magnate. As in, he sells Corn Flakes, popcorn, and corn chips thanks to the corn he grows on the land he owns through his inheritance. I told you it was bizarre. He lives in a huge house, has a small army of live-in servants, is married to a supermodel, and has a daughter he loves very much. One day while walking the streets of Venice with his young daughter, he sees her smile and earnestly believes it to be the happiest he has ever been. That’s when the Stand stri

From major plot points to the plethora of side quests to customizing your quirky character, Fable encourages you to take the game one step at a time. In big RPGs like Fable ( the reboot is going to be something very special when it finally arrives ), the wealth of things to do can often be overwhelming at first. There is typically an inherent pressure to move the story forward. Don't be afraid, then, to step off the beaten path in order to experience this adventure the way you see

When looking at the houses and military buildings in Aurora from a distance – or from the Sanctuary map – fans may notice that many of them look just like boots! This may be a way to indicate how poor the region is (i.e. living in a sh
