Fable 2 provides players with a truly immersive experience where
a virtually limitless number of choices can be made, all of which
have their own consequences, making each game unique. When you
start the game, you choose either to play the role of a boy or
girl, and depending on your choices, the hero will grow up to be
tall or short, good or evil. Players can get married and have
children; female player characters will become pregnant, which
will then be reflected by their physical appearance.
Early in the game, players are presented with a stray dog for a
best friend, who will need to be fed and loved, and will
accompany the player throughout his or her life. Depending on the
player, the dog will change appearance and assist him or her in
various ways, such as alerting of impending dangers and attacking
enemies.
Players inhabit the world of Albion and are free to roam the
land to as they please. Players can use different expressions to
communicate with others, such as taunting and laughing, and even
belching or farting.
As the players grow, so does Albion, reflecting the choices that
were made earlier in the game. Every house, hut, castle, and
dungeon can be purchased if the player wishes. Players can buy up
all the land in a town and can become mayor, king, and even
emperor of the entire land.
Fable 2 presents a dynamic and free-roaming world that doesn't
demand a player to take any one set path. At the same time,
players seeking a plot line will find an epic story and quest
that they can follow if they wish, along with many side
adventures.
Fight Using Different Weapons and Magic
Fable 2 introduces a new combat system that allows for mastery
of hand weapons, such as s, long range weapons such as
cross-bows and s, and, of course, magic. Players improve at
each discipline with time, and can combine different combat
styles when they fight. Other advanced design features include
positional advantages that can bring new strategic
elements into combat.
Bring Other Players into Your World
Fable 2 has a multiplayer mode that allows you to bring other
players into your own world. Consistent with the rest of the
game, the actions of these other players can be permanent and
affect your world. You can explore and fight together with these
other players, share treasures, and even fight each other.
Note: Fable 2 will not ship with Online Co-op mode. An update
with this functionality is rumored to be released shortly after
the launch of the game.
Xbox LIVE Arcade Mini-Games
Gamers can play minigames through Xbox LIVE Arcade and earn
currency that can be used in Fable 2 to purchase weapons, armor,
and other items for the hero.
Fable 2 is rated M for having mature content that may be
