Fable 2


Sounds pretty crazy... but it's different and has promise. I'm intrigued.

That was kinda gay. :erm:

Really unless they put in some actual exploration, i'm not going to every get Fable 2.

It was so annoying in Fable 1 how you could barely stray off the paths and how the world, which itself was quite small, was broken up into little areas that'd send you to a load screen between each.

Everything I've read indicates that you shouldn't be worried about that. I think we're all going to really enjoy Fable2.

But i'm going to be skeptical still until i see some videos of how open the game will be.

Because of course with Fable 1 everything indicated it was going to be amazing and yeah, i'm not sure what happened. I can't believe they spent 4+ years on Fable :pinch:

oh, i found a list of other features newly announced besides the dog...

* Players can pick a male or female hero
* Players can choose to have protected or unprotected sex (and yes, there are STDs)
* Female heroes can get pregnant
* Players can have children
* The world responds to your “hero-ness”
* Two new character morphs (besides Good/Evil): cruelty/kindness and wealth/poverty
* Own every single piece of property
* Players can become king

Pregnancy, sex and STD’s might all sound interesting but you probably wont catch AIDS. Lionhead already stated that they wont include miscarriages because it would be “too emotionally charged”. Those miscarriages thing might not be the only downgrade as Lionhead has a history of overpromising and underdelivering. Lionhead, more specifically Peter Molyneux, promised the world when the original Fable on the good old Xbox was still called Project Ego and the bulk of those promised features never saw the final game. Peter even apologized to the fans for overhyping the game. Is history repeating itself? Or is Lionhead seriously making its ambitions true this time around? We’ll see when Fable 2 sees the light of day sometime in 2008.
