I am playing Fable 2 at D&K's place. I kind of want to start over now that I have a better feel for it, but I also don't want to have to go through all that early crap again.

AAAARGH! I keep casting spells and freaking out villagers by hitting the B button reflexively as an "Exit Dialog" button. Which it is not. It is the Cast Spell button. Except when it's an Exit Screen button.

I think you can see why I keep getting confused.

I have started over.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sean is me with video games. This is why I rocked on the Atari 2600. One button. One joystick.

I'm loving the GTA-in-a-fantasy-world-ness of Fable 2.

And all these jumpy villagers! You just draw a weapon, or cast one little eensy weensy inferno spell and everybody freaks the hell out. Just chillax, people! If I wanted to kill you all, you'd be dead by now!

move out and draw fire

I did EXACTLY that same thing for a while, Sean. I felt bad about scaring my dog (he gets over it and learns to deal with the spells), but was just annoyed by the villagers.

Now they all follow me around asking for a ring. I've finished the main game of Fable and am just sandboxing and hunting gargoyles now.

I'm really, really sorry I accidentally set your store on fire!

On the other hand, I may go evil just to be able to set the bard on fire with impunity.

I'm doing Good first. Then I'll do Good/Corrupt.

It's so weird - I couldn't do Renegade in Mass Effect. It was too mean-spirited. Dark-side Jedi or Sith - a snap! I can be EVIL, easily. Death, destruction, betrayal, sure.

Renegade just felt like kicking puppies. Not evil - just icky. I had to stop after about 15 minutes.

Fable 2 will feel the wrath of my thwarted wickedness.
