You can only level your character up to level 20
If you commit a crime in a town you will not be arrested but instead you will be attacked
As you can tell from the comparison there are alot of pros and cons for each rpg and some of those pros and cons are very simliar and some arte even the same. This comparison represents that even some of the two greatest rpgs have flaws but in spite of that they are stil both very staisfying and very rewarding. Nothingrpg has given me more pleasure then these two which is why I have hailed Fallout 3 has my fav rpg even more so then oblivion, but that being said I have hailed oblivion as my fav game ever. I have never seen or played anything more fun in a gane then oblivion and i have never seen or played a rpg more fun then fallout 3. These two games surpass everthing I have ever played and thats saying alot i am proud to have played these two games and won`t stop playing them not until I die.
Well this is interesting today I read an article here on GS about BBC host johnathon ross lending his voice for fable 3. Now wther or not he actually will remains to be seen its clear though that he was asked to do it thers no mistake there but the real thing i want to know is why he was asked because its obvious that peter molyneux thinks that hed doo a good job of it. Now let me be clear here this is just a rumor I don't officaly know anything about this but what I do know is there will be a third fable, yes there will be but probably not until 2010 or 2011. Anyways this much is clesr that if he was asked to lend voice over acting then that must mean a third fable is in the works. It's nice that he was asked but I just wish I had more info to go on so I know more about whats really going on here. Make no mistake though I will keep my eye on this and see how it unfolds.
Ok so all gamers know how iiritating it can get when you want game addons or game pictures for the games you play and none of them are free. So I put togwther a little pros and cons for buying just the mircosft points cards vs just buying them with a credit card off of xbox live.
Ok I'll start with the mircosft pioints cards. Pros: they come loaded with a huge amount of miercosft points but that mostly depends on which amount you buy since they vary in amount.
Cons: Their not cheap, their hard to find in retail stores, they have a subscription code you have to put in in order for the mircosoft piints to be transferred to your xbox live account to use. When you use up the mircosft piints you have to buy another card and son and so foryh it starts to get very annoying.
Next is buying mircosoft points off of the xbox live marketplace. Pros: Their cheap, they get teansferred to your xbox live account right away, and since your using a credit card you don't get charged when you use it you get charged later when your bill comes. Cons: you don't get a huge amount, if you buy too many mircosft points you WILL get charged alot on your bill.
thats it I hope this helps all you gamers out there who crave for game add ons and game pics to determine which ones better. Both hsave their advantages and disadavantages and while one may have more then the other lets not forget what the real reason here is: to improve on already amazing game experiences.
