Fable 2 Combat System?

Question

Fable 2 is coming out soon, can anyone fill me in on the combat? Is it a role-playing combat gameplay or a RPG combat system like Mass Effect or Oblivion. Thanks.

Answer 1

Each button is melee, guns/crossbows, and magic. For a demonstration, look in my sources.

Answer 2

its based on one button combat, the x button will be for melee use, and the y and b buttons will be for guns and magic. its kind of rhythm based, when you start to attack, music will start playing, the more combos you string together, the more music, and the more experience points you receive, you can combine ranged magic and melee attacks easily for more points, thanks to being able to switch weapons instantly.

also, lets say you are at the top of a tower or near bottles, using the melee button might cause you to throw bottles or knock them off of a ledge on the tower. holding down the x button will allow for different attacks

magic will have two types of attacks for each spell, for example you can shoot fireballs or create a ring of fire for an area effect, all by using one type of spell. these spells will be upgradeable. so it will allow for about 80 different spells, because of the difference of the spell between  upgrades, and the two separate effects.
