im guessing that was sarcasm but if you havent seen peters interviews and things like that he says that they made the game more casual and also you could only use one button to attack

I played Fable and have seen the interview you speak of and still consider Fable 2 more for casual gamers than an RPG like Oblivion, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Two Worlds or Fallout 3.

The casual gamer would be able to pick up Fable 2 far quicker than the others mentioned.

Both wasn't an option since you could say both for 90% of xbox 360 games.

1. That wasn't the original question and 2. You could, again, say that for over 90% of games these days

Most but not all. A game like Oblivion, for example, would drive the casual gamer crazy and they would go back to Halo 3 quickly.

I really fail to see how saying a game for both is not a valid answer. When the game clearly has things for both the casual and hardcore gamer. Just because you can say that about most games doesn't make it any less valid.

Absolutely, and who are you to dictate to others how to respond to the question? It doesn't say how to answer so neither should you. Peter Molineaux has made it abundantly clear that it was designed to appeal to everybody, so logic dictates the answer would have to be BOTH.

Its definatly not for me, i hated fable 1. One of the worst rpgs ive played in 20+ years.

Ill rent Fable 2 to give it a chance as i do all games, but its definatly not a MUST BUY for me.

As for who is the game for? Its for anyone really, casuals, hardcore gamers, what ever. Give it a try and see if its your cup of tea or not. Its definatly a more ARCADEY RPG then others, but doesnt mean people wont still enjoy it.

Oblivion was made casual friendly actually compared to the older games in the ELDERSCROLLS series (Morrowind, Daggerfall, etc..)

RPGs are very rarely played by casual gamers.

Hmmmmm. You can hack people up, shott them, have kids, and cast deadly magic, hence the M rating. So, after al of this, what do you think? I don't think my mom, sister, or grandma would play this; do you?

i think so far from what ive seen of the game that the controls r going to b leaned more for the casual gamer but the story and the options in the game might b deep enough for a hardcore gamer. it looks like u could spend alot of hours in this game. but im just commenting on what ive seen so far. wont really know till the game is finally released.

Bad example, Oblivion is actually pretty casual, especially in comparison to Morrowind. I have a few friends who enjoy Oblivion, and they are casual gamers. Also, saying both is a completely valid answer, expecially since lionhead go on about how theyve tried to make this game appeal to both audiences.

It seems like casual gamers will be able to play but hardcore gamers will be doing so many fun things that casual gamers cannot.

You obviously never played Black & White, Dungeon Keeper, the Movies and so on... But you also obviously played Fable1. Nun the less, I'm buying the game day 1
