@starcraft:
You should definitely play more RPG:s, especially the older PC ones. :P
I don't really agree that being "10-20 times larger" is automatically a great thing. First - how is it 10-20 times larger? Is the character stat block 10 times as large? Are there 10 times more cities with 20 times the size? Is the game map 20 times larger than in Fable? Does the game demand 20 times more disk space? Does every character have 20 alternate outfits? Etc.
There are games like Gothic 3 and Daggerfall that are Friggin' Enormous and complex, but not necessarily better games because of it. For example, in G3:s case, the game feels like it was built by Microsoft's ME development team: It's slow, buggy, hard as hell and ultimately boring. The Witcher is a really long game, but that's because doing anything meaningful in the game takes several hours. MMORPG's are huge timesinks because of grinding, etc.
Bigger isn't automatically better, even in Fable 2's case.
