Fable 2!
I'm reading reviews about it and it looks like it's going to be great! 😄 It's scheduled for release in Eureope in March, meaning probably by January it'll be in the united states. (Maybe not, I don't know.) All I know is i'm going to have to get another part-time job (as my first one is done for the year in two more months) to get an X-Box 360 soley for Fable 2!
Here are some of the things we can expect in the game;
Fable 2 takes place roughly 500 years after the original story with firearms.
(Steampunk!)
The "Good or Evil" element will be much more prevalent in Fable 2.
(That's always fun alignment systems.)
The Hero starts as a street urchin.
(Already halfway to creating Green Arrow in Fable!)
The player will be able to choose his or her character's gender.
(I didn't mind, but this does help appeal to girl gamers.)
It is now possible to have children, whether you are playing as a female or a male.
(w00t! Little Speedies!)
The designer wants to reproduce a theme of unconditional love in your children.
(I don't know what it means but it sounds cool!)
The player may now choose from protected sex to unprotected sex.
(Haha pwn3d if you get a kid anyway!)
The player can plant an acorn into the ground and watch it grow into an oak tree.
(That's just an "awww" moment.)
The player can affect the future of a camp by choosing to finance it or slay everyone inside.
(Yay!)
The Hero's child is affected by the Hero's actions. This means that if the Hero is evil, his child will be too.
(Speedy x2!)
Other images from X06 also hint heavily at pirates making an appearance and indicate that the "whores" of Albion, as named in the image, will also reappear in Fable 2.
(Pirates, ninja, and I get to kill whores. Could this game get any better?!)
The game will have a multiplayer portion.
(A game just aint a game without multiplayer.)
You will now be able to take jobs as such as barman, a farmer, or even a prostitute.
(And I'll kill all who choose the latter yay!)
The Hero will be able to have a companion, most likely a dog.
(This reminds me of nethack.)
There will be an online element with a team mechanic.
(w00t! Team Red States vs Team Blue States!)
If you die, you can not return so you have to restart/load the game.
(Sounds even more like nethack. Which is an excellent game in itself.)
