Unplayable on Windows XP

It may or may not be notable that there is no way to play this game on a PC with Windows XP.

 Yes it can, after downloading the patches, and following the advice on the offical forums http:allboards.lionhead.com

Check out the sticky thread in the "Black And White" forum. Grymsqueaker 13:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article has too much opinion

Speaking as a good god, I think it's actually not too hard to be a good god. One way to build influence is to build up villages, which takes wood. Casting "Miracle Wood" is a "good" action.

Not Unplayable upon release

It was possible to play through and win with the original release. There were a couple of really annoying bugs, though.

Your worshippers would sometimes consume all the food at the worship site in one gulp. Fixed by patch.

The longer you played a level, the longer the load and save times become. Still a problem, although improved by patch. (Opinion: this game has the absolute worst load/save game feature of any I've ever seen).

Creature poop never decays, which means a level will become covered with creature poop unless you fireball it. Still a problem... and never fireball poop while your creature is watching, because that's a behavior he'll emulate, without regard for the fact that the poop is next to your temple or within one of your villages.

Unplayable upon release

Shouldn't there be some sort of mention about the fact that the game was unplayable upon release as it wouldn't let you complete one of the later levels?

I'd write it myself but I don't have enough information about it. I just remember Peter Molyneux being all hype-happy about it, and then turning around and saying 'well yeah, we need to fix that'. That one experience completely let down my faith in him and Lionhead. Only for it to be compounded by Fable's complete failure.

Didn't Peter Molyneux say that Fable would enable you to build your own teleporter using common household materials? Probably, since he generally over-hypes his games to the heavens. --Dan 16:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When black and white was released, there was a bug on the last level. What was meant to happen is that a curse on your creature was removed, but the bug prevented that curse from being removed. You could still complete the game, but you would just end up with a completly useless creature. Thats what i remember about it, anyway.

Also, it's not playable if you have Windows XP and I think 2000, not to mention others the game it's self mentions. It think someone should add an entire Technical Difficulties section. Gopherbassist 12:59, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Writing style

This article is of a slightly below mediocre standard and needs to be written in a less informal tone. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 22:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ape not Orangutan?

According to this Prima guide here, the initial monkey creature is an 'Ape' and there is another darker monkey creature called a 'Chimp'. How should we edit this? Seriphyn 09:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
