Since everyone is going to get this game tomorrow (that's what I heard from the guys at Gamestop) I reserved my copy.

I really don't know what this game is about, I just heard Parakiss talking about it before somewhere else in the forums. He made it sound really good, si when I went to the mall today and saw all the promos, I couldn't help myself.

P.S.: Parakiss, if this game turns out to be crap, I'll have your head!

If this game turns out to be crap, I'll have already cut off my own head and hung it on a pike by the time you can get to me. ^^;;

I don't think I really need to explain how excited I am about this game. My avatar, my signature, my constant ramblings about it... They speak for themselves.

I will say, though, that I've finished all my homework for this week. Meaning, every day after class I will be playing. Non-stop. I'm debating about whether to set up an IV or something for food and water, and a catheter for bathroom breaks. ^^;;

Only one more day, Parakiss!

When I reserved it I got a Fable DVD. I didn't see it yet, but I will soon!

Um.... (feels incredibly stupid) what IS "Fable", I've never ever heard of this game before. I'd look it up myself, but I don't really have time today, sorry.

P.S.
Parakiss: Skip the cathater, they hurt like a sonofabitch! Just sit on a larg bucket while you play.

It's an RPG for X-Box that lets you create your own story. You can be good, bad, or something in between, so it's never the same game twice. That's the jist of it.

I got the game finally, but my mom is enforcing her rule of not letting me play on weekdays. That really sucks! I'll be able to play it all the way on Friday, if my brother doesn't hog his X-Box.

Well, tomorrow I'm spending the night at my parent's house, and I'm talking to my brother right now and it looks like I'm picking it up for him before I go home so it's there for him after he gets back from work. So I'll be playing it between when I get home and when he get's home. Seeing people say so much good for this game, I'm scared and have told him to kick my ass off his xbox if I'm still playing when he gets home. Since I don't know much about the game except what people have been hyping up, I'm not sure what to expect, but I'll give my thoughts on it Saturday.

I think I read about this game. I was really excited about it, but after I found out that you can only play as a guy, I really didn't seem interested in it anymore. To bad, because my X-Box is just sitting their because I haven't found an interesting game to play yet.

But, you can make your guy get married to another guy. ^^

I think it's a great game. I'm actually making a weblog for my character. *is that fucking obsessed*

As tempting as that is, I still don't like the game. I read somewhere that if you choose a life of evil, you turn ugly. Psshh. Everyone knows that the hottest people are evil. Sorry, but any RPG that denies me my God-given right to be a flamboyantly evil dominatrixy soceress who kills people with her hair is no game for Teh PeacH.

I think I would really enjoy playing this game, if only to be PO'd at it. Exactly whose standard of good and evil will be used to determine the course of the game? My own societally deviant views of good and evil would probably have me screaming at the game in rage. On the other hand, it is produced by Micros*ft, so maybe selling someone an item they don't want packaged with an item they do want, and then paying off the authorities when they call you on it, is the path to sainthood. ^_^

Alas, I have no X-box, and buying one is pretty low on my list. Maybe someday I'll steal one and bootleg Fable just for the sheer irony of it.

There's always Mortal Kombat 3. But yes, all girls should have that right.

It determines it by different actions. Say, if you help protect a farm from bandits, you get good points. If you lead the attack against the farm, you get evil points. Or, if you attack a bystander, or a villager. That racks up evil points. But if you attack someone who's bullying another villager, you get good points. Killing monsters gets you good points, stealing from houses gets you evil points (I'm getting evil really quickly because of that one). So, it's not really from any kind of perspective on good and evil.

Also, the plot does not change whether you choose good or evil. You can choose between good quests and evil quests, then there are quests that don't have an alignment. The only thing that really changes through the game based on your alignment is how people react to you, as well as your physical apearance. (Evil people grow horns and frighten children, good people don't.)

Wow, I've been playing this game for 4 hours. I'm still playing even now. It's really obsessive.

Since most people are trying to be evil (Parakiss stealing from houses. Shame on you

) I'm going to try to be a good all the way...but I'm gonna have to forget about beating up that lady for snitching me out to the guards and helping some bully make fun of this fat kid.

But I'm good. I'm a good hero, I'm a good hero..

Know that little kid who wants you to break barrels? I bea the shit out of him. ^^;;

My character isn't evil PER SE, but his alignment leans more towards evil than good.

Ok, I WILL be getting this game. I don't know how soon (seeing as how my x-box is non existent at this moment ^^) but soon. As for the direction I'm gonna go in....EVIL all the way. I gotta get some sorta evilness in my life
