Interesting. I'll give it a try when it comes out for PC, the orginal game was good but it was missing something to make it stand out, I'm disappointed that the story still seems to be bad (I'm basing this on the Gamespot review), but id the combat is solid I may enjoy it

 

The story isn't anything amazing or really memorable so far but it isn't bad.  It's solid but I'm guessing I know what happens in the end (SPOILER I'm guessing Theresa is OMG a bad guy too so the game has an interesting twist since every game has to have one of those).

Is it better than Fable's story? Take into account that I thought that Fable's story was horrible and very cliched, almost to a Dragon Quest VIII-level quality (not that bad, though)

I won't read the spoiler, by the way

 

I don't rememb er Fable's story too well other than the sister part.  Fable II is a pretty cliched revenge quest but honestly, how many games stories today aren't uber cliched?

It's solid and interesting enough to keep you going forward.

And the spoiler text above is just a guess that I hope doesn't come true.  I only place it in black in the off unfortunate chance I'm right.  (and nobody better tell me if I'm write of wrong )

Well, I find there are some, most JRPGs I play have pretty good stories (Suikoden, Xenosaga, Chrono Cross, Persona, SMT, Star Ocean, to name a few), some WRPGs (namely KotOR and, to a lesser extent, Mass Effect) have avoided well the clichedness. I not hoping for a radically different story (I know it's unrealistic to expect it here), but at least make it seem that the story wasn't thought five minutes before the game went gold as a mean to connect all the scenarios and locations of the game
