Fable/Fishing Holes

One of the little things you can do in Albion is fish. Now, let me just say right of the bat, fishing in the game is as boring as it is in real life. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy fishing in real life, but in the game you do not get to enjoy the sun, the sounds, the air and the peace if nature that you would in real life.

The next thing is, fishing seems to have some sort of skill/balance programming to it. The more you fish, the harder it gets. The problem here is that you actually have to use the fishing rod to advance the story line at one point, and if you've done so much fishing that it is nearly impossible to catch anything, you can literally be stuck for hours just trying to move on.

The second thing that makes this system of difficulty seems pointless, and in fact, stupid, there is no profit to be made fishing, if you want to spend an hour fishing, in a hypathetical situation where fishing is always as easy as the first time, you could catch maybe, 5 fish a minute at a decent average. The realistic value of those fish is 10 gold per fish, so, 50 gold a minute... I can go and play Card Pairs and make 1000 gold in 30 seconds. So, why restrict a cool feature to the game? It is just another of the stupid things the creators of Fable did to ruin their own game.

So, should you fish for fun, no, its a waste of time and can screw you over. You could even just fish for the items you want and ignore the rest.
