Well as a owner of Fable 2 I can say I was somewhat dissapointed when I got my game back from my local shop on day of release. As a big fan of the original I feel I may have hyped the game substainally prior to release. It just feels to short, gameplay wise it is amazing and the graphical representation of albion is exceptional, but I managed to complete the main story arch and all sub quests within a matter of days. I felt pretty much empty and wanting more of this game that I was so eager to get home and play. It relies on things like property to development, trade, pub games, and just too many small things which doesnt really make for a good few hours of play once the game is completed. The evil and good story archs are the same and the ways you can approach them are similar just with a few different outcomes and different cutscenes. Having played this game for a approx 16 hours of a few months I can say that it's not a must buy if your not a fan of the original or a heavy rpg game player, I would recommend a rental, and then maybe purchase it after if you really like it as I know many do. However all my criticism aside it's still a top title in this christmas period.
Fallout 3 on the otherhand I have yet to buy, but I can tell you now, from what I have seen, read and played of it (briefly) had I not bought fable 2 I would have definatly have gone for this title. I might be still suprised and Fallout 3 is a bit of a dissapointment aswell, but I will only know christmas morning. Hope the fable 2 info is helpful.
