Forums - Microsoft - Fable's Peter Molyneux will reveal 3 BIG features at GDC

 "Speaking of development... Microsoft-owned, Lionhead Studios' head, Peter Molyneux is going to present his session entitled, 'FABLE 2 - The Big Three Features Revealed'. The great man of British gaming will, we are told, flesh out Molyneux's "stated ambition as a designer", which is, "...to make Fable 2 a landmark game."

Features (my guesses) 

- Cooperative play, players will be able to join in/out during game
- Dog is playable with 2nd remote
- Something about replay value.. maybe being able to replay the game using your character's son/daughter

Wow, some swell features. Can't wait (pops 'Lost Chapters' into my 360 ...)

Wait....? I was under the impression that two of the three features had already been revealed? One is love (best highlighted by the relationship with your dog). The other is a unique and innovative single-button combat system, which is meant to create a "complex simplicity" (my words) for gamers whilst still being highly accessible.

Also, it is unlikely the dog will be playable, as Molyneux has specifically stated the dog not being under your control contributes to your sense of emotional connection with it, rather than a domineering connection.

A crap load as already been rumoured for Fable 2

Including

- No deaths... you just get the crap beaten out of you which disfigures your face/body
- Family's... You can have a relation with any NPC and eventualy have a child
- Dynamic world.. destroy a village in your younger years and it will be a ruins in your adult life.
- Dynamic world II... You can purchase all the land and become emperor.. or just a village and proclaim yourself mayor

Not sure how many of these features have actually be confirmed and how many will actually make it to the final game, but it all sound good.

In related news, I plan on conquering Canada tomorrow. Don't be surprised if I fall a little short of my goal. I'll keep everyone updated.

I love Molyneux because he really tries to push gaming boundaries but after awhile, I view him as nothing more than an alchemist (in the medieval sense of the word).

  lol exactly although he seems to be doing a beter job of demonstrating his promisies this time around. Possibly his feet are still stuck so far down his throaght from fables broken promises that he cant get any imaginary features past his lips.

 Still I guess I owe the guy something he is the reason I got an Xbox due to Fables exclusivity.  Not to mention I absolutly loved dungen keeper.

Maybe he'll announce that you can actually do 75% of the stuff he promised for the first game? That would really be amazing, all things considered.

These two are confirmed.  Never heard of the dynamic world ones.  When you die,you have a choice of losing experience points or getting a shitload of scars.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I don't know what he promised about the first game but it was my second best Xbox game and this game will also rock.
