First off I'd like to say that all the points that I have read are completely valid. None of the points I have heard are wrong save the one point that has surfaced of Peter Molyneux not delivering on all of his promises in the first Fable. The next point I would like to point out is that all of the other opinions that I have read are subjective, which is different from valid. If a game has a combat system that someone dislikes that is a matter of opinion and is subjective and valid at the same time. However, it does not change that the combat system may be good it was just not to the person's liking. Peter Molyneux has apologized for the mistake of hyping the original fable beyond what it was. I personally have played Fable through a number of times and would say that it had a lot of frustrating points, but was still enjoyable for the fact that it did push the genre in new directions even if they were not as well advanced directions as Peter Molyneux said they were. Because of his apologies and his track record that is his history of making many other good games, for example, populace and Black & White I'm going to let Fable slide and give Fable II a shot since the first Fable was in my view his first stutter in his successful profile and also because the things that he has been hyping this time around I have seen and read through various sources. So this is my opinion. I think Peter Molyneux is great because he is a risk taker unlike most developers who push only one line at a time and so evolve their genre one chromosome at a time. Where as Peter Molyneux tries pushing farther and in more directions and if it isn't successful and I don't like it big deal there will be other games out there and maybe in his failure he will inspire others despite of the games possible future lack of success, which I personally don't think will happen.
