You hit the nail on the head. The bolded part is the core reason Fable 2 was weak to me. Playing a game where you cannot die takes away the challenege. Games must have a true challenge if they want to convey their point. The game had a plot, but the challenge was destroyed by the level of gameplay and lack of depth. It seems that reviewers love an easy game, but then again tastes are subjective.
