Anyone kind of pissed that you can't die?


I mean, it basically takes away any kind of challenge. No matter how hard the enemies are, you'll always pop instantly back life when you die, minus a fe experience points.

Death in videogames is utterly pointless considering there is a reload button. All fable 2 did was remove a tiresome "Game Over" screen. Dying could have been more punishing in terms of what happened to your character but at least lionhead tried to do something different.

What i'd really like in Fable 3 is an optional hardcore mode, where dying automatically wipes all the saved data for that particular character.

Take my advice rookie. You ever fall for a woman, make sure she's got balls.

death meaning you MUST start the game all the way over!?!?!? I LOVE IT. ive been wanting a game like that too come out for a while. but only if there were different paths you could take. bc face it, replaying the EXACT same thing when you die could get annoying.

I'd say it would be best if it put you back to a checkpoint but gave infinite returns to that point after dying. It is kind of pointless that you can't loose. You can get all the way to Lucian without picking up any XP, sure enough battles would take longer but it can be done. I think RPGs should be more about having to develop your character and become stronger. For example you couldn't exactly fight Sephiroth at level one in FFVII, you don't automatically come back to life therefor you can loose and will without strong characters but that is a good thing seeing as it gives a challenge. If you can't loose there isn't a challenge.
