Can You Beat Fable With The Stick? 

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Nerbit? Rules: Can only use things that you would find at your house

imagine, you're a goon, hearing about this guy going around, beating everyone in his path. he gets to you, and starts beating the hell out of everyone in front of you with a tree branch. he then gets to you, slows time, and just beats the hell out of you until you're bloody and unconscious

To say I'm addicted to this man's videos would be an understatement.

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Revolver Ocelot: - Considering Ocelot's tendency to backstab anyone that isn't Big Boss in order to further his goals, you must go for the Yes Man Route and make it so that by the end of the game you have Wild Child reputation with every listed faction in the game. - use the .357 Revolver (and any of its variants like Lucky) as your main weapon. - Unarmed can be a backup because of the CQC he engaged in with Big Boss and Solid Snake - for Armor, at least a beret of sorts must be equipped (as per MGS3 Ocelot), as for the suit, either go for something akin to a military uniform to represent Young Ocelot or a cowboy esque uniform representing older Ocelot. - have at least Guns and Unarmed as tagged skills. Third tag skill is up to you - Traits are up to you but considering Ocelot's tendency to do draw duels, I recommend getting Fast Shot as a trait. - If getting Wild Child is not possible, get a reputation close to it as possible, as the only way to get Idolized reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel is through the Lonesome Road DLC, and the Powder Gangers offer few opportunities to gain enough rep for Idolized without negatively affecting your rep with other factions (i.e. Goodsprings and the NCR)

This is every child's imagination after they pick up a stick.

Weaver told the kid "use your stick" and he took it to heart

For me, challenge runs don't start until you're done being railroaded into tutorials. For the next one, I'd love to see Fable 1 done as Jack of Blades!

I honestly was expecting Orkon's Club to make an appearance, considering its the "legendary" variant of the stick, and the fact that the Kraken can be meleed and Jack can hurt himself? Crazy

2:18 I think "Weapon of Mass Deforestation" also works. Loving the Fable content on the channel.

the thing i always love about fable 1 is, no matter which route you choose, lore wise you still killed the guildmaster as hinted in one of fable 2's loading screen messages.

I always really liked the Twinblade fight in Fable 1. Mainly because, as a kid, I found it way too funny that the map for his area looks like a goose wearing a crown.

Hey Nerbit, I will ask, as someone who was born with reading difficulty and speech problems, hearing you always keep in your bloopers and typos has always been a treasure to me, and I was hoping one day that you could do a compilation video of them at some point, I suggest the name, "Hte Blurst if Nesbit"

I mean if you can beat it without leveling up, you can probably beat the game with a long hard wood. Although I kinda wanna see how masochistic this run is.

You really went out on a “limb” with this one

this looks like a fairly laborious challenge to complete, good on you for *sticking* with it

'Its when we get to the Docks that the situation becomes Dire Dire'. This was the most clever joke I've heard in a good awhile holy shit.

Using buff spells in fable, elder scrolls, etc, is like using chems in fallout like psycho or turbo, at least in my opinion Edit: using items or spells that buff your character in a game I think should be allowed in challenges (besides the busted alchemy in the elder scrolls) as it is intended within the game, even if it doesn't make sense like psycho in fallout buffing gun and energy weapon damage, as long as it's intended in the game and does not do damage, it should be viable for weapon restricted runs

This is a certified Fable classic

Fable is a great game and it's cool to see you play it again

Can you beat fallout 4 as an Irishmen? You must buy and drink every bottle of beer you find and be drunk for the entire run. You also must finish Cait’s companion quest.

I've played through Fable with the stick as my only melee weapon before; I never knew that you could get Jack to hurt himself with his own AOE though. Yet another certified Nerbit classic right here.

Nerbit, we call this Turtorial Rules - this allows us any tools during the start of the game. (unless glitches can be used to bypass it).

I have another challenge idea. Can you beat Fable 2 as a pirate? Your weapons are cutlasses, flintlocks, and blunderbusses. You can get a rusty cutlass and flintlock pistol before entering the old tomb in bower lake so the whole game can be played with those weapons. For will, there is an argument to be made for inferno. Blackbeard used simple pyrotechnics in his beard to scare the superstitious seamen he was raiding, making them think he was a devil and not a man. There are obviously other things that must be done such as: -Complete the “Treasure Island of Doom!” quest. -Own every property and business in Bloodstone (make it your own personal Nassau). -Find and keep all the precious gems from quests. I remember three: the diamond from chesty, the ruby from the undead in Bowerstone cemetery, and the Archon’s tear from the archaeologist. Own all the farms in Oakfield (Stede Bonnet owned a plantation before becoming a pirate). -Use only rum and other liquors to heal (maybe apples in place of citrus, but there’s definitely no good replacement for hardtack). -Keep the name “Sparrow,” for Captain Jack Sparrow. There’s probably a lot more that can go into this referencing specific pirates, but I feel this is a good starting point. Cheers, and I love your content so keep it up!

Just what I needed today, more Nerbit.

I can’t stop myself, every Friday I refresh my page until I see the new challenge run

this makes me excited for the new fable game. amazing run as always!

"You can just pound away until they get on their knees and are ready to blow" -Nerbit, 2023

Love your videos you're the reason i got into watching challenge runs. The commentary is worth watching alone 👌 keep up the good work

I remember hopping in an editor way back in like 2002 and making the stick do max damage lmao I really love this game

Suggestion for a character/historical figure run: “Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as general Douglas MacArthur?” A bit of context: MacArthur was a US general who was famously fired during the Korean War after he revealed that his plan to win the war was to launch a massive tactical nuke attack at the border between the Korean Peninsula and China. His idea was to turn the area into a wasteland to prevent troops and aid to make it to the peninsula. This caused a massive drama both in the US and internationally, so to prevent things from getting worst MacArthur was relief (fired) of duty. Basically this would be a Fat Man focus run. That’s why I suggested New Vegas, as the “Gun Runners' Arsenal” DLC let’s you buy different types of mini nukes. Hopefully this helps to make the challenge more than a pacifist run with extra steps, plus the variety of explosions might help to make the experience less repetitive, and maybe even “tactical” as each type of mini nuke have different aspects. And yes, this would be one of those runs that is less about beating the game, but rather the shenanigans that ensure while using such an OP weapon. In a previous comment someone asked me if MacArthur ever used a .45 (aka the famous 1911 pistol), this let me down a rabbit hole regarding the generals career. Basically despite his willingness to use nukes and being in the military, MacArthur was never a “gun guy”, so he only carried a hand gun for self defence, a gun that during the years changed. First it was a .38 revolver, he used it during the US intervention in the Mexican revolution of the early 1910’s; when he was send to France to fight in WW1 he received and used a 1911 pistol (thought there aren’t any photos of him with the gun); finally between the world wars and all the way to when he fas fired, he used a .32 semi automatic pocket pistol. Checking and the Fallout New Vegas wiki, there are several revolvers: “.357 Magnum”, “Lucky”, “Police Pistol” (I accidentally thought this was a .32 in my previous attempts) that should do the trick for the .38. As for the 1911, since the “.45 automatic pistol” and it’s unique variant “A Light Shining in Darkness” from the “Honest Hearts” DLC are 1911s that isn’t a problem. However without mods, there isn’t anything in NV similar to a .32 pistol pocket pistol, though you could use the 9mm or the 5.56mm since as they are the most similar in calibre to a .32 = 8.128mm. Since MacArthur had a .32 when developing his nuclear addiction, I would say the only pistol you should use from the list is the .32 equivalent. That being said, I think switching between pistols would make the challenge more ridiculous than what it is already. If not getting both “Lucky” and “A Light Shining in Darkness” should be extra objectives for the run. As for the look? The best I can think of is to get general Oliver’s uniform (boots and cap included) and complement it with some massive sunglasses and a smoking pipe, though for that last one anything relatively close to it should do the trick. Someone also mentioned that one of the requirements of the run should be to complete the “Lonesome Road” DLC. I would also suggest collecting all 14 of the normal mini nukes that are in the base game, though I feel like that it might be a bit boring compared to everything else on the run. You should also keep in mind that even though MacArthur worked for the government (US army), he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army by millionaire turn president Herbert Hoover. So you can either work with the NCR or Mr. House.

Can you beat skyrim as the daedra equivalent of a pokemon trainer? Summons only. The dragon masks act as gym badges.

“You can just pound away until they get on their knees and are ready to blow.” Man I wish I knew a summoner.

The name druid is very fitting. in DnD 5e there's a cantrip (basically a level 0 spell you can cast as much as you want) called Shillelagh, which makes clubs and quarterstaffs do more damage, along with being considered magical and using your spellcasting modifier (Wisdom since you're a druid) instead of Strength for your hit chance and damage. So basically, stick bonk good.

Probably not as much of a challenge, but it'd be interesting to see a run using only magic people don't normally use. Fireball, Drain Life, andTurncoat are ones I never used and never see anyone else use.

“Are you just gonna stand there like a lemon?” lives rent free in my head, and no one ever knows what I’m talking about 😅

I've become a fan recently, fables my favorite game of all time, love these videos.

Nerbit, I dunno if you know this, but I recently did a Fable playthrough and figured out that during the troll fights in the arena, you can back yourself up into the corner in the middle of the arena, and if you can get them to toss their rocks at you at the same time, one swing will knock them both back at the same time. It can be tricky but I thought it was interesting

...The fact that the dummy is alive raises a lot of implications and I don't think there's a single one that's good.

I need more of the fable content! So glad I found this channel.

That second phase of Jack was the equivalent of winning a fight by making your opponent break their fist from punching you in the face too much.

Guess you could say Nerbit really knows how to stick it to ‘em

I think as long as it's just buffs, I don't think they break the challenge unless it's something stupid op like invincibility, one hit kills, or an exploit like the Skyrim restoration glitch. It'd be like saying you can't use stealth, crits, or drugs in fallout challenges.

Another great video man, im a long time fan, your content recently has been fucking amazing, can't wait for the next one x

Next up: Can you Beat Skyrim as a Woodsman? Only use the hunting bow, Iron Dagger, and Woodcutter's axe. Only make money via hunting and woodcutting, only wear plain clothes or armor associated with hunters, such as the elven hunter armor from the creation club. The character could be aptly named "The Woodsman".

BG3 is going to be too big for the quantity of these types of challenges to come out for a long time. But boy oh boy will it also make each one that much crazier when you do one (if youre willing to put the time in eventually to a meme run)

Either your in my youtube search history some how, or my mind because i was looking for a stick only run on fable. I am curious why you never use healing since it heals you and your escorts. recently saw some fun challenges on this game. You should try "bow only, mercenaries only, summons only" some others exist but thier fun.

Fantastic to see more Fable content pop up from you. I look forward to seeing you best this game with your (magically enhanced) stick. 2:20 - I'm assuming that "Can You Beat Fable With The Wooden Manufactured Deathstick?" was too long of a title, as awesome as it sounds. 6:30 - You beat Whisper's longer and carefully carved stick with your stubbier and more natural stick. Your classic weapon triumphs over hers! 8:18 - An so you decide to enjoy a good old spot of cricket with the troll. How quaint. 11:37 - You've cast no time magic yet and still it seems like the Balverine here is stuck in a time loop. Just an endless existence of bonks to the back. 15:24 - Whisper, how dare you get attack by the traps. We need you to get attacked by the trolls instead. 21:20 - She's just made of tougher stuff. Rather hilarious that all the prisoners had huddled together, made it so much easier for the Kraken. 23:33 - Another battle of the sticks but you keep true to the natural form of the almighty stick! 26:11 - Jack's attack hurts himself? Oh my gosh; I never knew that. So Jack is taken down by himself... and very splinter filled foot. 31:34 - Oh the tragic irony; bested by the very same stick he tried to have you throw away.

I honestly did not know that you could deflect the boulders back at the golem and ive goen though lost chapters a number of times. Enjoying your content a lot! Just finished binging all your level one play throughs for fable 1, 2, and 3 and liked them a lot! got the metal gear solid marathon queued next!

Maybe next year we can get a fable anniversary fists only run😂🤷‍♂️

Multi strike would have been the first spell I used for a stick only run. Much respect for going that far till you thought of it 👏

Your Fable video made me want to play the game, now I love the series

I like seeing your videos pop up so I can just disconnect from reality for a bit and watch the NERBIT!

I loved fable as a kid, this was super fun to watch. Thanks

I get a wee dopamine rush every time I realise that we’re nearing another Friday and we’re gonna get another new Nerbit video!! Such excite!!

Good stuff! Thanks for the content!

Seeing KJFreshly in your video was such a nice throwback, used to love his streams so much!

Well now that you have purged the land with the stick of bonking, the world of Fable will never be horny anymore

Something I look forward to weekly. Thanks Nerbit, you do the gimmick runs I dream of, but will never do.

Just so you know, I watch your challenges because of the production and the unique way a playthrough happens due to rules, please play whatever game you want in the future. 🤙

I am soo glad you made another Fable video

I also tend to play through fable every year so good to see this

Hi Nerbit! I wish more people did challenge runs like you do. I love Dark Souls, but all of the challenge runs that people make sound so miserable that they don’t seem interesting to watch. I love how your runs are both not too challenging that they are impossible, but not too easy that they are trivial. It doesn’t seem like your favorite game, but I’d love it you did more Dark Souls content. Maybe something like weapon challenges? Love your vids 😊

You should absolutely do more vids on fable 1 it's personally one of my favorite game of all time great but I've never done a stick only playthrough so ik what I've gotta try

Fable videos might be my fave (sorry new vegas) but so glad to see it back

Nothing brings me joy like Fable content, thank you

For once I'm early and so fucking pumped to see another fable video. Love the content, keep up the good work lad.

I’ve played this game so many times and I’ve never seen that animation of the Bargate guard pissing on the player. Crazy.

Ayyy new nerbit vid! Looks like i get my fix today! 😊

ive been waiting for more fable videos

That narrative satisfaction when you did, in fact, put that old stick away.

a neat run to do is an only loot run chests fishing and quest are the only form of weapons and clothing however you could also do a 100% demon door while doing so and get a full bright plate as it is needed for one of the doors

This seems like a great way to develop depression and a hatred for Fable. I'm truly impressed you stuck with it.

My best friend every time I have done a stick play through (or any melee build) is the shield spell. It’s very helpful in the white balvorine quest since being hit doesn’t break your flow. Even with trolls it just pushes you away

Great video, and once again I have to say I admire your patience above all else. Also, an idea: Can you beat Fallout 4 if every enemy is Legendary? (I've done a couple variants of this run, usually on Very Hard, and it's turned out to be my favorite way to play the game!)

Hell yeah more fable content!

19:42 the undead start coming and they don’t stop coming Grab nostros gear or they hit you from the ground while your running Hey now your a hero get your stick on Go slay

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Raiden? >canablism perk allowed, as Raiden does heal by murder >Rex can be recruited as he does have Bladewolf >can only use bladed weapons, unarmed, grenades, or rocket launchers. >side with Yes Man, and defeat House and the NCR, specifically killing the president with a katana >get as many cyborg implants as possible, old world blues included

Anyone else count down the days for a nerbit upload? Absolutely love these videos

This is a real blast from the past

Nerbit back at it again with another banger video, today is a good day.

I still listen to your gambling video that you posted a long while back in the fable 1 run. It's good stuff to sleep to

Every time i see your notifications i just drop everything and click on it. Def my favorite challenge runner.

Non-Bethesda videos are some of the greatest on this channel! More please!!

Watching a wild Nerbit smack criminals across the face with his big fat stick is everything I have ever wanted.

I love fable so much please make more

Oh! You can absolutely do this! Because I DID THIS EXACT CHALLENGE when I was a kid! And boy was it surprisingly cathartic.

I love how every game no matter what without Fail there will always be some sort of Metal Gear mention/reference, you and I would be great friends

I hecking love Fable

Tk Mantis teases making a Fable video and Nerbit beats him to the lunch as usual, classic

Nerbit post video me click. Also the 4 hour Metal Gear video has been helping me get to sleep lately, thank you so much! Love you!

We need more fable challenge videos. We need to see how you deal with fable 2 and fable 3 in the most bizarre ways possible

Been watching a few fable videos recently and one thing I keep noticing is that most don't make use of the wait function for the Trader Escort quest. Having the traders wait in the first area you meet them while you go clear the next two areas. Then have them wait at the trader camp, while clearing the last two areas.

I think that a fallout 3 run while doing every good karma action you possibly can would be awesome, informative, binge worthy, and would also cure world hunger

Do my eyes deceive me? Another fable video? I love it

Always love seeing your content man. Can you do a fable 2 gun only? Haven’t played it in a minute so I don’t remember if it’s even possible though

I'm pretty sure I've watched most of your run videos more than once. Gotta say all the "rule breaks" like the dummy don't matter. After all it's more about the enjoyment of watching the wacky shit that happens in your videos than the actual end goal anyways.

Theres a certain happiness I feel watching these videos as another Northern Irishman who also plays Fable at least once a year

I've done numerous playthroughs of Fable TLC over nearly 15 years and never knew you could hit the troll boulders back lol

"It's when we get to the docks that things get dire dire." I legit had to back up the video to confirm you had made the joke I thought you had. These things are why I love your stuff, Nerbit. Don't change.

Yes! More Fable content!
