yeah, thats stupid but it's understandable considering that everyone plays the same character. The biggest problem with the online play is that there is nothing to do in the game. The quests and enemies are effortless, so, all you will be doing is running around the world of Albion with a friend, admiring the scenery

I was a big fan of the first game but wow, Fable 2 is like an Rpg for people who dont like rpg's. The game is so easy Thousands of dollars can be made easily, the combat system is so streamlined there is no depth whatsoever. If Fable 1 was RPG-lite Fable 2 is RPG for dummies It's a hack and slash game that has no threat level what so ever. The spells are not nearly as satisfying as they were in the first game, nor is the combo system because for some reason, they removed the combat multiplier. The combat mulitplier is what gave Fable 1 more milage. I am about six hours into the game and i feel as though i have already depleted this games resources. The story and Atmosphere is great That is probably what will inspire me to continue playing but even the graphics are subpar and why does everyone have the same fuking voice in throughout the game? Also, the interface is severely cumbersome This game is inferior to the first Fable.
Bingo.

Its as much an RPG as Zelda: OoT was. You get to a certain part where all you've been doing is smacking the same button, opened the same chest and found a secret key, and all you need to do is wear a green hat and shirt and call yourself Link....
I think they've taken out half the RPG elements too, the leveling up stuff. You get literally 3 melee things to upgrade, 3 skill things to upgrade, and just your mana spells to upgrade.
The spell upgrade sucks ass too. Basically, you tap the button to perform a level 1 spell, you hold the button down longer to charge it to level 2 spell, and so on. Except you cant use all your maxed spells at the same time. So you cant bust out a level 5 lightning stun, then smack a level 5 fireball to kill everyone. You can only slot 1 spell per upgrade level. What this means, is that you can have either level 4 fireball and level 5 lightning, or level 4 lightning and level 5 fireball, or level 4 & 5 same spell.
It looks like this:
Level 5 - Force Push
Level 4 - Vortex
Level 3 - Fireball
Level 2 - Chaos
Level 1 - Lightning
So to put this into action, it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to put spells into combos, as you have to time your holding until you have charged to the correct spell. Lets say you zap your foes then fireball them. You need to hold the button until it reaches lightning, let go to do lightning, then hold it down again and wait longer to charge to fireball. Theres no spell mapping to the D Pad. I cant even seem to map emotes to the D Pad. Dont know what the **** they were thinking there.
Also, there are now 2 different moral sliders, one is good/evil, the other is corrupt/pure. Im all the way evil, and I look nowhere as badass as I did in Fable 1, so Im not sure how corrupt/pure factors into appearance.
Apparently eating meat goes towards you impure side, well done Lionhead thrust you're own opinions down the players throat, never try to control the player when you advertise choice.
also this game sounds a disappointment, a real one.
