Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Fable 2 details(rumour?)

Mistershine on 13 May 2008
Fable 2 is "content complete" with a measly 5,000 bugs to squash before it's completely complete, reports NeoGAF poster "Vinterbird" (aka Mikkel Vinther of Xboxlife.dk). The Danish site published a preview of Lionhead's second try today, based on a visit to the studio's headquarters in Guilford, UK last week. Vinther kindly translated the good parts, highlighting these new details in his post on NeoGAF:
  • Mini-map has been replaced with a "bread crumb trail;" a dynamic golden line on the ground that directs you to a destination (read: medieval GPS)
  • Magic system is dived into focused, single-foe attacks and ranged attacks; attacks can be built up into five levels using various spell combinations
  • Speaking of spells, there'll be just eight (but remember, they can be combined)
  • Every house in the game is up for sale; each house will unlock a sidequest, item or skill
  • Rough estimation: 20-30 times larger than the first Fable
  • The gameworld features seasons and dynamic weather
  • Cutscenes are interactive; the d-pad can be used to issue certain gestures that will steer conversations
  • Sex minigame was canned; instead, screen goes dark and moaning ensues (sex can still be unprotected though! Babies, yes; STDs, unconfirmed)
  • Female character was almost canned; almost.
  • And finally: Three more Fable sequels are being planned. (Lionhead is currently wrapping up Fable 2 and focusing on an announced project.)

3 more planned!? WooHoo!

Imagine: Babies!



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

^^I understand why you'd think that, but I'd say the Mistwalker RPGs (even though they aren't one series) are more in competition with FF than Fable. The closest thing I'd compare Fable to would be Elder Scrolls, even though the tones are different.

C'est possible. They should allow you to use a family tree type of thing. So if you beat Fable 2 and fire up Fable 3, you can use the sword or armour that you mum or dad used in the previous game.

@King of wale

You just made me realized that the PS3 doesn't have an equivalent version of Fable 2.

 Fable is a unique game, the 360 doesn't have a game like it either

Apart from Fable on XBLM.

"Sex minigame was canned; instead, screen goes dark and moaning ensues"

Just like the first game.
