peter molyneux=flake.

Any of you weary about Fable2 after seeing the Peter Molyneux press interview about this game?

The dude is a complete flake, his hippy dippy nature is the reason Fable1 was somewhat of a let down.

The guy announces 3 aspects of Fable2 that are supposed to impress us. The first two aspects he admits are minor, and to me completely uneventful.

Then, he announces the big deal, hold onto your hats. . .

OH BOY YOU GET TO HAVE A PET!!!!! Whooptie frigging doo.

I thought maybe he was going to announce something worth a crap, like what he promised us in Fable1, hmm maybe like the ability to go anywhere you want, no borders in the game, all your actions change the game world carve your name in a tree step on a butterfly etc..remember that?

Nah instead the big deal about Fable2 is you get a pet. I think this guy took too much acid in the 60's and now smokes too much crack. I think he has no idea what he's doing and I think Fable2 is going to be a let down somewhat.

Agreed. I enjoyed Fable 1 but i wish i had only rented instead of purchased because it had ZERO replayability and was pretty mediocre.

I'll mos def be renting fable 2 if for no other reason than a weekend of mindless distraction...

Think its and intresting idea but not one to center your focus on. The 3 most important points of a game are story, gameplay, and innovation. A pet would be cool but somthing better than a dog... like some sort of magic creature that would change shape depending on your alignment and skills. Small demon for evil mage, golem for a good mage, Tiger for good warrior etc. but i just hope a pet isnt the master idea for the game or were all screwed... :|FMJ_Strike

Didnt you know? The subtitle for Fable 2 is "Really pretty version of tamogatchi"!!!!

LOL

I didn't find Fable that bad, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Particular the part where the guy you save slowly turns into a werewolf.

Over too soon though.

Thats the problem, the pet at this point seems to be the big sell for this game. Not something amazing like "you can chop down a tree and have it still be there rotting when you come back to it later. (Isn't there a game coming out or out that boasts that?)

I know what to expect with this guy at this point but come on, he has next gen technology to work with now, if a pet is the best he can come up with even early in development then I'm not as excited about this game as I was.

I did like Fable1 don't get me wrong. FOr what the game turned out to be it was pretty cool, just not ground breaking. Hopefully each map in this game is bigger than 10 feet by 10 feet. I mean Oblivion although it had borders was fully explorable, hopefully Fable2 in the least will be like that. In the most it will be what w were promised with Fable1.

i think a dog really is the most pathetic idea ever, he must have pulled a muscle in his brain from thinking so hard.

if the pet was specific to your character like someone said earlier then that would be a little better but still pretty worthless. i dont need a pet thanks i can scout my own areas and attack my own enemies and i dont want some dumbass little peice of pixles getting in my way constantly.

i read an interveiw with petey m where he was talking about how you can throw a ball off a cliff and your dog wont follow it. yeah probably because it cant jump through invisible walls lol. you really know your audience dont you petey 

He is probably just telling us this to not get deeper into the game itself maybe he is just stalling and brings out cooler stuff.

or so I hope

But don't pretty much all game designers have to be either flakey or high to think up the things they do?johngmills

Another of Peter M's "innovations" that he mentioned was the ability for the character to impregnate his wives and if you play a female hero, for her to get preggo. I'm having a difficult time deciding which I think is worse--the dog or my female hero being forced to say, "I'm sorry Mr. Troll, but we're going to have to continue this butt kicking later. I think my water just broke..."

Just a dog, that's it...., and I thought maybe it would be some kind of a Pokemon thing. :)

Should have it like UO or World Warcraft being able to tame wild animals. 

Well, he just hypes his own stuff. I saw the interview and he said he was going to let you experience love and he gave an example of you, having a kid, you come home, and he says: 'Daddy! Daddy! You're brilliant!'

Seriously, that doesn't sound like something amazing at all. It sounds like more annoying stuff to put up with. I've yet to encounter a great RPG where there isn't so much annoying stuff you need to do that you don't want to do. This seems like one of them.

However, luckily he stated you don't have to go through any of it if you don't want to. That's why I'm excited for Fable 2. The dog seems like a neat thing in the game. And if I can just choose not to deal with the whole supposedly 'great' love deal then this game seems great to me so far. 

Agreed.

I'm going to reserve judgement on Fable 2 until I've played it but as for Molyneux; hippies should keep there hemp/tofu covered mitts out of game development. I don't want to play as an evil character but if that means my in-game dog is going to be a ponce then I'm not interested.

No, there's a guy in Fable that turns into a Balverine. 

Fable 1 was crap.

Hopefully Fable 2 will be what Fable 1 was meant to be.

Of course your dog won't follow it. That would be too fun. I'm glad he's taking advantage of next gen technology so perfectly by wasting it on stupid stuff like this.

If I wanted a pet I'd play a hunter in World of Warcraft.

The dog does change on how you build your character skill.
