So what was removed from Fable?

[Jasoco]

My brother keeps telling me about all these features that were removed from Fable. I ask for a site showing them off and he says there are none.

I'm curious, what stuff was shown during early stages, but removed to make the deadline? I'm curious.

I don't know if anything was "shown," as some stuff was probably envisaged for the game's release but never built (same old story as usual). Like the female PCs not appearing...lots of people are gonna miss that. Even Morrowind had it!

Another thing which has come out in reviews is that some of the much-vaunted "Choices" to make aren't really choices at all when you have to do something silly (and non-challenging) to pass a demon gate.

Children in villages were going to change their hair do's to look like yours

Mulitplayer/online features...which sounded kinda dumn, anyways.

you can have 3 players follow you around as 'ghosts'. If someone gains more experience than you, they become the hero, and you become a ghost.

In the beginning it was said that you could use anything as as weapon. That is probably why there is the frying pan somewhere in the game.

I mean, in real life, I could pick up a can of soda and beat someone up with it. Shouldn't I be able to do that in a game?

I hope they make a Fable 2 and put this stuff in it. And I hope it doesn't take another 5 years. :o :(

They plan to do that, so let's hope for the best! :o

I don't follow XBox games very closely as I don't care about them as much, but I had originally thought that the big draw of this game was an online multiplayer mode. Guess not, though.

One feature I know was that they were going to have was trees and other such flora growing as time passed. But it ate so much processor time (about 10-15% I believe) that they removed it so the processor cycles could be used on something else.

Well, by the time Fable 2 is done, the Xbox 2 would be out anyway. So let's keep our fingers crossed.

As much as I love Fable, I am a little dissapointed. Sure, it has a ton of neat features, but wasn't what I thought it would be. Oh well, Fable 2 will probably have what they left out of Fable.
