Travelling in Albion was the one thing that made Fable II so absolutely beautiful for me. Thats absolutely not saying I will accept them giving up combat in any form. I don't like the idea of being tied down to a mule the whole game, or not having melee weapons . . .
. . . but I'm now way more willing to give this game a chance. Had it been on-rails, it would have lost absolutely everything I love about Fable games. I just hope that its world is nothing like the disgustingly bland one of Fable 3.
GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.
