Well, it's said that some of the promises that PM made for the first one (which never happened) will be in the second one. Besides, not like the first one was bad.

It's Fable 2. You can live the life of a hero or villain. You can do what you want in a cool twisted fantasy setting. Kill whomever you wish. And there is co-op and a dog. It's Fable 2

Just look at screens of Fable 2 they tell a story. Fable2 looks great is seamless like GTA4 and further is that the world is living a step above seamless environment with a life you live in it. Else story and gameplay is made by one of the best studio.

It's biggest attraction (if it is like the first one) is your ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want. In the first one you could spend your life getting drunk and stumble around with a beer gut. You could marry a woman... or a guy. You could kill someone and then buy their house or marry their widow. It didn't have a ton of weapons or spells but a good mix of both. I just hope the last boss battle is harder than Fable 1.... you could just use lightning on him and he couldn't strike back!!!!

IMO, Fable for the Xbox Original was boring and the system didn't work well, as you would almost never be good because it is so easy to be evil. To anmswer your question, nothing is special about Fable 2.

Fable was a fantastic title, with a terrific story, a fun combat system, and lots of decision making. Fable is the kind of game that really appeals to RPG fans, and Fable 2 looks to do even more with the system that Fable 1 began. It's going to be amazing.

You would've never said that if he didn't promise so much. That game was great and Peter just built too much hype up around it and promised too many things.

Never played the first Fable, but it just looks like the type of game you can play forever- and the co-op online makes it like no other RPG- this might knock out Mass Effect for my favourite RPG of all time.-Oh wait, Final Fantasy is coming out for the 360..that's going to knock everything out of the ball park.

You can find it dirt cheap (Fable that is). I found it for $10 used at Gamestop a couple of weeks ago. I haven't played it yet - I will though about a month before Fable 2.

I played fable right after finishing Oblivion (never had original xbox) and I just couldn't get into it. It seemed pretty dull, but maybe I just never gave it a chance. I stopped playing after the first couple boss fights. I might just give Fable 2 a rent because when Fallout 3 comes out I'm going to be playing that for a loooooong time.

It is, but there is sepsoe to be a rythm based system that makes you pull of cool moves and gain extra experience but the whole point is that everyoen can play it. But combat isnt the mian attraction in Fable 2.

Fable 2 is the ultimate RPG since you play a role on a level like no other game has done before... except Fable 1. Instead of doing one epic quest you live the life or a hero (male or female). From a young child to an old wreck. You decide how you want to live this life, raise a family, be drunk, be evil, get a regular job or just do the main quest. The morphing in Fable is what makes it unique and its why everyone is excited. What Fable (2) does is something that no other game does.

Oh and the whole point of a RPG is to be someone else and do stuff you wouldnt do in reallife, Fable 2 has the option of giving your character a STD if you go to the wrong kind of ladies. This should give you a good indication of what freeroaming is all about.

P.S. get Fable 1 (preferably the TLC edition), its cheap and fun.

Right now this game looks like it could be the game of 2008, yes even over gears. The first one was amazing the only problem with it was its length. Which is probably the only thing people are afraid of. If this game could promise 40+ hours of game play not including side quests it could be one of the best games ever made. Plus it even has co-op! I mean who doesn't wana join there friends game and play around in their world knowing it wont effect your game?

To be good you have to make a lot of sacrifices. I got a kick out of a person with a Master Chief pic telling someone nothing is special about a game thats actually good.

I've never played the first one. but this one is a sure thing. being good or evil, marriage, great co-op features and a dog!

I know this game has to be great. it's got everything, basically.

Well not really anything. In pen & pencil rpgs you can do whatever you want, only limit is imagination. That's a feature I want to see in computer or console rpgs, but it's impossible.

As for Fable 2: you've a dog. What else do you need?

I played the first one and thought it was really fun. Actually, I played through it twice: once as an evil character, and once as a good character. There is nothing like having a conversation with someone, pressing a button to "let one rip", and then watching the reaction of the person you were talking to. Priceless, juvenile fun.

It's like 'The Dark Knight'. The first one was so **** awesome that everyone knew the second would be sick. Unfortunitly that's a bad example because Heith Ledger died in it which probably helped it's ratings but still, it's a good movie.

The first Fable wasn't good, he gave us almost nothing that he promised. I'm hoping that he can with Fable 2. Also I like games with co-op.

If you all want dogs just play Fallout or Fallout 2.

Dragoniser

from a personal standpoint I think Fable 2 is going to be a good game, but overall I'm not a huge believer in it.
