xxNick's Fable Rebalanced Mod (Discussion)
type: item
description: Goals Remove completely all manner of gain in any way: experience, items, and gold via quest/script rewards, death drops, or freebies in chests and the like. No experience or alignment change on item use (crunchy chick/tofu, red meat/fish, etc.) No combat multiplier. No general experience. Rebalance in every aspect: armor ratings, weapon ratings, weaknesses and resistances, weapon augmentations, spells and ability upgrade costs. Normalize and tweak: personalization - hair styles, tattoos, and armors will not provide any scariness, attractiveness, agreeableness or alignment modification. market - No more shop exploit. Make stealing more difficult. Remove all items from shop stocks. Tweak price of various goods. New content: Trophies; Farmable trade goods; Potions; Armors and weapons; Enemies; Heroes; More that I can't think of right now. Reimplementation: This is the real meat of the planned mod. Market - reimplement items into shop stocks in a balanced manner, the goal in mind being to prevent access to items that would allow players to easily coast through the game. Integrate more items into the "wanted" category to allow a means of making money off of shopkeepers. Weapons - no free weapons. Iron/steel/yew/oak available in most shops. Obsidian/ebony available in silver key chests, demon doors, quest rewards. Master weapons become unique, must be stolen or killed for, or sparsely available in silver key chests, demon doors, quest rewards. Legendary weapons must be taken off of dead hero-classed enemies. Armor - no free armor. Clothing "armor" can be purchased in most shops. Lower class armors available for purchase from smiths. Higher tier armors can be obtained through silver key chests, demon doors, quest rewards. Certain specialty armors must be acquired by killing heroes. Style cards - Not sure yet. I don't see the point of limiting access to style cards and tattoos. Personalizing the hero shouldn't be a reward. I think what I'll do is do away with the card syst…

description: Oh, yea these things are all mostly easy to do, if time consuming. Already diked out the skittle treasures from the tng scripts, I'll have to figure out how to reimplement some stuff like the sword in the stone, it looks to be possible to transplant it into another map. Moving those cameras around is going to be a pain in the ass though. And boasting is done in the script def, which mean testing requires a new profile each cycle, lovely. The idea is to take advantage of the systems already in place to lengthen a linear game. Two ways to make a game longer, add content and slow progression. Since we can't add quests, the goal is to slow progression but keep it at a playable, enjoyable pace with a steady difficulty curve, as opposed to somewhere between free ride and suffocating on all the treasure you have. The game can also be lengthened by adding various distractions, I have ideas for some of that but that's outside the scope of this discussion. I just need help finding out where to put that difficulty curve and what pace the progression should be. I don't want the game to be a grind, but I also don't want it to be without challenge. Still, either would be better than where it's at now. It just boggles my mind, how they can create a game with all these great systems in place, and then not use them. Or not use them enough, or jack the variables such that they can be abused so terribly (shop exploit), or create unbalanced scenarios where the player is effectively invincible and immortal and unstoppable. Makes no sense whatsoever.

description: xxNick wrote on Fri, 28 March 2014 23:17 ... I don't even know where to begin with all my thoughts on what went wrong with how fable was developed. It's surprising to me that everything even worked out for them. You had BigBlueBox working under lionhead You had Peter Molynuex having no idea of the state of development before spouting his nonsense. You had Microsoft in talks to buy lionhead shortly after the original fable was completed. The main issue was Peter Molynuex. He's like a concept artist for game design. He hasn't dealt with the nitty gritty in a long time. He had this grand vision of a hero sandbox game, and BigBlueBox couldn't stand up to this vision. In the background you had devs that don't believe in open standardized systems for modding purposes. Everything they touched was proprietary. Leading to several instances of reinventing the wheel. Or even making things worse from an efficiency standpoint. Under all that dirt and shit, there were good ideas. But that's all they are. Ideas. It's enough to make me stomp around the room ranting and shaking my fist at god.

Most I come across see games as they are, which is fine, but I see them as they could and should have been. Which is where modding comes in. Then you look at the limitations of modding with this game, and it's not an engine limitation, not a scripting limitation, the engine can handle new quests and the scripts are versatile enough to do a great many things, there are just so many good things that could be done if they hadn't wrapped the whole thing together with glue and duct tape. With all due respect to Mr. Molyneux, it feels like he used the franchise to further himself up the Microsoft ladder only to bug out with 22Cans when the criticism hit critical mass, meanwhile the franchise gets steered god knows where from folklore and fairy tale fantasies and mother goose theme (which is perfect for a sort of Tim Burton styled game with Danny Elfman doing the music) to kings and rebellions and guns and something called a "crawler" and perhaps the most awful take on steampunk I've ever seen - I don't even know what to say. But I can rant about it all day or try to fix what I can. The to-do list for fixing is a lot smaller than the itemized and categorized list of things that they screwed up. As a side-note, I do have to thank them for inspiring stuff like this.

description: xxNick wrote on Sat, 29 March 2014 15:09 kings and rebellions and guns and something called a "crawler" and perhaps the most awful take on steampunk I've ever seen Long-Ass Rant Honestly, I liked the revolution. It was nothing like Molyneux had promised, but I'm used to disappointment in that regard. The guns are, in my opinion, an excellent addition to the Fable franchise, especially since Fable 2 and Fable 3 take place 500 years after the events of TLC. You can't tell me that technological advancement would be mostly stagnant across 500 years. As for the Crawler... That could've been done so much better. They were clearly aiming for the essence of insanity, something to strike utter terror in your heart, but they fell flat on their asses and skidded for half a mile. If they wanted to make it truly terrifying, they should've made it unable to be fought by conventional means. Make it to where you have to run away from everything in that God-forsaken hole in the ground. Make every moment have you ready to piss yourself from terror. And then, when you're finally out, meet a world entirely different from what you know. Everyone either dead, dying, or doomed to be one of the two. All the light is gone from the world, and slowly your vision fades to black. Then, a tiny pinprick of light... you open your eyes. There, you see Ben, you see Kalin, and you see Walter, though he's clearly in worse shape than you are. The usual occurrences from there happen with a slight variance: You don't know what can possibly be done. The only possible course of action is to depose Logan, and build the biggest damn army you can. You hope that it's enough, though somewhere deep down you know it's not. Finally, the day of the battle arrives. You've done what you could, but it's not enough. Your men have been utterly decimated. Nobody can prepare for the Crawler, after all. Nobody. Finally, when all seems lost, Walter is taken. Possessed. You've no choice but to fight him. There's no way out. …

description: asmcint wrote on Sat, 29 March 2014 20:10 ... Perhaps, but perhaps not. The canon goes from the time of the void and the court to the end of Fable: TLC and they're using swords. A lot happened between those two points in time, I'd say probably enough to fill in at least 500 or so years. In games, particularly fantasy games, technology doesn't have to advance at the same rate across the board as it did in our real history. You can have steam-powered airships and submarines put together with wood and ent sap powered by a crystal doohickey, a world where people live in quaint wood cabins and ride ostrich-like birds as if they were horses, but still have space flight and time travel. Maybe some people like guns in Fable, certainly, and I can't speak for everyone. My view is that guns don't belong in a Fable setting, Hansel didn't kill the witch with a gun after all. But if I can't convince you of that, maybe I could at least get you to concede that the sacrifice of all the other weapon types and the removal of armor as a mechanic put an unfortunate limitation on preference, style and depth of combat.

description: Swanky_e wrote on Sat, 29 March 2014 23:55 Im currently working on a mod that in theory will try to mend the lack of difficulty in fable We can work together on coming up with ideas if you'd like. I'd appreciate a person to bounce ideas off of. Swanky_e wrote on Sat, 29 March 2014 23:55 i think what fable really needs HEALTH METERS to improve difficulty cuz that would play into your strategy if you can see the enemies health I never thought of that, but yes, having a rough idea of how much health an enemy has can definitely be worked into a strategy. Most boss enemies, special encounters, already have health meters off to the side in the HUD, but if someone were to add significant new enemies, such a feature would be useful. And as it happens, it's yet another system that's already in the game and just unused. COverheadDisplayDef. Because it's a CDef, it can be made creature-specific or across the board with all creatures. Swanky_e wrote on Sat, 29 March 2014 23:55 Fable also really needs SHIELDS! its is really important cuz it adds more STRATEGY! and why is thunder the only npc with a Shield , can we use thunders shield animations for the HERO i have tried an my game crashed but i think it can be done! Don't forget Nostro. Aye, shields would be a good addition, though the only ways I can see adding shields would make them almost purely cosmetic, like clothing. It would add to the armor rating, but it wouldn't really block attacks. As for using Thunder's anims, that's clever and doable. However, you're then left with the issue of blocking when not equipped with a shield. "Here, let me just stick my head out to make decapitating me more convenient." Without a way to toggle the anim with a check to see whether or not a shield is equipped, it's meh.

description: Honestly, the closest thing to functional shields I've ever thought of was a CAppearanceDef modification to change one-handed weapon animation sets to include shield-style anims for blocking. From there, include separate sets of clothing with various types of shields kinda sewn on to the arm, with these separate sets having slightly higher armor ratings. From there it would pretty much be a matter of, "Please don't use heavy weapons with shield clothing because of reasons".

description: Shields are a cool mechanic idea but without a practical way to do it proper, with blocking set up right with or without a shield and with proper anims and all that, I'm not interested. Same thing with other very interesting ideas I've seen, like throwing spears and morphing weapons, or augmented clothing. Yes, these might be possible to varying extents, but for the level of work involved to get only a semi-complete and perhaps even user unfriendly results, the effort/reward ratio just doesn't hit an acceptable level. Back to the topic, I've finished removing all quest rewards in items, gold and renown, and killed all death drops. I've isolated all the cutscenes in which the player receives an item and the lines that need to be removed from each one. But I'm facing the same problem I had with quest rewards and items available in the TNGs, and that's items related to quests. Blue mushrooms and potion Treasure clues Sword in stone (already removed entirely) Chapel rewards (Skorm's bow and Sentinus) Rewards for chicken kicking and fishing contests And some others. Some I just have to keep in, like the stick at the beginning of the game. You get it again in the prison from a barrel, I've removed that one. You can punch your way to the inventory chest (which also has to stay in) and get the stick back. But I can't remove it from the beginning because hitting that scarecrow with anything other than that stick won't register. And Maze during training, hitting him with anything other than the iron longsword or katana won't count. So some of these things have to remain. I think I'll just cut out the sidequest stuff and everything that won't break the game on removal and figure out how to reimplement it all later on. But that really stacks weight on the wrong end of that effort/reward ratio I mentioned earlier.

description: I'm still trying to work out that magical formula, the butter zone for the perfect combat experience. I'm good at math, that's the easy part. Trying to turn combat style, health and weapons, number of enemies, and sensory ability of enemies (being able to smell you sneaking behind a barrel from across the map, for example) into variables that you can plug into a sensible and objective equation and extracting from that equation a single number that determines difficulty is the hard part. In the meantime. I've created a new bandit type. His appearance cycles all bandit meshes and textures, he blocks all incoming attacks except flourish, his combat is varied but ineffective. I think all those combat sequences I tossed in has his priorities all messed up. He packs an obsidian cleaver and ebony pump crossbow, and I gave him some more back bone, so he's taller than the player. He needs to be nerfed a bit, as is he can barely be attacked, he swings like a lawnmower and a fight with more than one of these guys at a time breaks combat in the other direction. Need to tweak those combat sequences a bit, get him sorted out so he's not running and dodging instead of attacking. After I'm done tweaking him, he'll serve as a base from which I can mass produce tiers 1-5 grunt and archer bandits and replace the ones in the stock game. Still trying to understand all the ways in which bandits, or any randomly appearing creatures, spawn. Something must determine whether it's going to be wasps, trolls, bandits, hobbes, whatever spawning in that region at that moment. That'll be a key piece in changing how and where certain things happen.

description: Thinking about rare finite items. In the stock game there are three amethysts, for instance, and there's no reason to sell them because, well by that time you're rich so you hold them like a forgotten trophy. And they're all found. Chest, barrel, digging spot. Thinking about making it so these items have to be farmed. Again amethysts for example, can be gotten off ice trolls with a 10% drop rate. And then motivation, a shopkeeper in Bowerstone North will pay handsomely for these - which works as motivation because in my Fable, you can't just get rich. Would that work? Also thinking about unimplemented items, like throwing bombs, adrenaline potions, pump action crossbows. Besides tweaking and implementing the unused items, I'm trying to figure out how I can promote their use. I can make it do slightly more damage but I'd like to keep damage/tier balanced with speed, like how greatswords do more damage than longswords but are slower. So, how can I get players to pay extra for an oak pump action crossbow when the regular oak crossbow works just as good? I'm also wanting to make higher weapon tiers unavailable for purchase. So obsidian/ebony, master and legendary tier weapons must be rewarded to the player somehow. I'm trying to figure out how I can do this and still give the player choice in what they get, so a player who favors the longsword doesn't do a sidequest for a crossbow. Anyone have ideas? And, last tidbit, thinking about random encounters where one can see other heroes appearing in the world fighting off bandits and stuff on occasion. So you can be walking in the woods full of bandits and maybe get some unexpected help from Thunder. Does that fit, or would players just be preoccupied trying to kill him?

description: Having trouble figuring out the hero dolls quest. The goal is to change the tavern prizes, change the items the teacher wants, and change the item the teachers give. I've isolated where they're given. Games masters, yes, but in the game.bin. It's in one of those tavern game defs. Thing is, I can't figure out anything else. There's no hero doll quest section anywhere in the scripts. The dolls are never referenced in any cutscene, the JOB doll isn't in any quest reward. I can't find anything that takes away one of each doll in trade for the JOB doll. I also can't find where the bandit camp pass is given instead of a doll during the Twinblade quest - in fact I can't find data referencing the bandit camp pass at all. I can't imagine such a thing being hardcoded, but I can't find anything anywhere else. Any thoughts? Somewhat related, does anyone know if the dolls quest is properly repeatable in stock Fable? Edit: V_HeroDolls is activated from the start in the wld. And so are the quests that handle all the common stuff like boasting and opening chests. Going to just assume that because of this, the quest is also repeatable. That still leaves the problem of where the hell everything else about the quest is handled.

Wishful thinking. Boasts are done in the script.bin. Most if not all changes to the script.bin require a new game for the changes to reflect in-game. Boasts won't really be a problem to test - I can't add or remove boasts, only change the cost/reward. niartyzarC wrote on Sun, 13 April 2014 16:25 Also, I don't know what the pump crossbows look like or how they work, but maybe you could either make their stats somewhere between bows and crossbows and possibly weaken bows and/or strengthen crossbows to help make a meaningfull difference, or maybe you can make them stronger than crossbows, or you could make them as strong as, but slightly faster than, crossbows, but still slower than bows. Pump crossbows are like regular crossbows except they have a different mesh and look cooler, but they're mostly the same. I was thinking a touch stronger and a touch slower than crossbows, but having them be faster and maybe a tad weaker would be good too. If I give them a higher DPS, that'd justify paying more for it. Works for me. Swanky_e wrote on Sun, 13 April 2014 18:00 can you elaborate a bit more on the prototype bandit you made? Think six million dollar man. Faster, stronger, harder to knock down, higher health, non-stop sequences using every move available in the bandit repertoire. Nothing fancy, they'll be the same appearance-wise, mostly. There are 10695 different bandit appearance combinations, all I did was make all of them possible with one creature. You'll still be able to determine what class and tier they are by their size and weapon. The AI is fine, it's the balance that kills difficulty. If you have enough potions, you could take on an entire army of bandits, either by spamming force push chugging will potions or just meleeing them one at a time chugging health pot…

If you didn't want to disclose information you could have just said "no i do not want to tell you about that" which if that is the case not that you would admit it i would and don't have any problem with that its ice cool . No, I read that part. The exact changes are subject to more changes. I did say I needed to tweak him. That's why the basic idea is the best I can give you. What I can tell you is what I'm editing and with what goal in mind. Swanky_e wrote on Fri, 18 April 2014 04:01 And your last comment is curious because you made the assumption that my comment/opinion was an attack or some kind of jab to hurt your feelings which could not be further form the truth , I have no "beef" with your mod i am surprised someone would come to that conclusion because i did not write with that intention or meant it that way. Absolutely not. Criticism is good in any case. Your post seemed like you had an issue with broad scope mods due to being incompatible with other mods, so that's what I'm replying to. I don't take it as any kind of attack. An attack, legit attack, would be people on the LH forums saying modding is stupid and gay and that a PC release of Anniversary should not be made because modders will ruin it and PC sucks anyway and boo modders. You know, shit like that. Swanky_e wrote on Fri, 18 April 2014 04:01 I was just thinking about modding and some ideas you mentioned and just used critical thinking to solve several aspects of the problem to me …

description: Did a playthrough of the WIP. It was awful, but also a really helpful learning experience. Starting this project over from scrap. What's become painfully obvious is that the quest-related scripts should be left alone as much as possible. While I was able to get most things I moved around working in another area, such as the archery competition, fisticuffs, bandit toll, sword in the stone, sick child, I was not able to do them properly because of the restrictions placed on map editing. I simply did not have another place to put most of these things. Sword in stone and archery competition were easy. The smaller aspects of the sick child quest was easy even if it looked horribly wrong. Giving that woman and her brats a place to live elsewhere was quite a pain. Even that worked, but there just wasn't anywhere for me to put the stupid fisticuff guys, and where else could I have put a bandit toll except on a bridge? Also, interestingly, you can't have all five assassination triggers go simultaneously. Doesn't work. One will go, and then two more stutter in after that. The last two just don't show up. Booo. Another very important thing of interest, removing the demon door walls, doors and faces does NOT remove the teleport. Oops. I'll have to get those too next time. Last one off the top of my head, for some reason having bodyguards in the guild, anywhere in the guild, works just fine except that when the guildmaster teleports to the map table, so do the bodyguards. In investigating the map scripts, I concluded that one could not, or at the very least should not, have more than two bodyguards. I believe there was originally supposed to be a system to put bodyguards at specific places during specific quests, for example, the arena. I now also believe someone over at LH said fuck that, just make it so they have to dismiss their bodyguards. Because that's what happened. So that means we can do more than two bodyguards proper, which means I'm adding a lot of those guard reject…
