You start with a family, but then your parents get offed and you become an orphan. The goal of the game is to avenge the death of your parents.

Have you read up on Fable? It is ANYTHING but 'simple.' It has such depth that when the game's ambitions were released it was met with scoffing - people didn't think it was possible to achieve what Peter hoped to. And now, the same scoffers who are reviewing the game are saying that yes, he really did pull it off.

And it didn't just come out of nowhere. To you it did - you might not have heard of it - but I've been waiting for Fable for FOUR years, way back when it was previously known as "Project Ego".

Are you even familiar with Peter Molyneux?


I had heard of 'Project Ego' way back when, but I hadn't looked into it until this year's E3. I was one of the people that shrugged it off as 'another RPG' when it was in the Ego stages, but now, after seeing the previews, reading early reviews by IGN and GameStop, and looking at those be-a-utiful screens, I am convinced Fable will be the RPG to end all RPGs.

I'm not familiar with Molyneux, but I'm heard the name before. What else has he developed?

Fable looks good, but I'm a little hesitant to get it. I mean, we have no idea if the game will really be as great as everyone says. If Second Sight gets better ratings from the likes of IGN, then I'll probably get that instead.

P.S. I just read a couple articles about Fable. Apparently you can kick severed heads like soccer balls...

Peter also did Black and White, which is pretty popular.

He's typically well-known for games where you play a God interacting with people. He's all about artificial sociological interactions between NPCs.

Just a note, Molyneaux's inspiration of games cam from when he was young and toying with the ants in an ant hill. He kept wondering about whether he was a God to the ants.

In Black and White, you were a god. You had complete control over how to solve the problems of your subjects.

For example, if you needed an artifact, you could scout the woods and pick it up, or you could drop a boulder from the sky on someones roof, and then pluck an artifact from the ruins.

Fable is going to be good. It is a living world, and an amazing piece of code. Take for example, even the slightest things that have been built in, line by line. A supply and demand system, where the days merchandise unloads and is brought into the stores. You can rob the people bringing it in, or you can kill of any other bandits trying to get at it. It will affect the days prices, and stock.

You can marry the mayors daughter, then kill the mayor so your wife gets the inheritance, and then divorce (or kill) your new wife to gain posession of the mayor's mansion. Brilliant, no?

--Black and White, your decisions had very little to do with sociological interaction with NPC, it was based on interacting with society as a whole.

In Fable, you interact with NPC at a time, but your actions have an affect on society. Become a hero and people will start to copy you, dress as you do, and get the same haircut you do.

--I really enjoyed the Special DVD. A culmination of four years of waiting for Project Ego, finally fulfilled into something I can put in my Xbox until the game ships. :-) For a while I was even considering flying to Britain to try and do some Beta Testing.

I know that, I was seriously considering it about two, maybe one and a half years ago.

I held my own, private going gold ceremony. Watched the DVD 14 times.

Second Sight sucked. I played a demo. The camera angles are bad. Not as bad as Van Helsing's but not good. The controls are awkward and the graphics aren't anything to brag about. Fable will be much better.

KOTOR is a great game! I don't like the fighting that much though, JO and JA are better at that but it's still a good game. As for this Fable, It looks like it MIGHT be good but I'll wait for it to go down in price. Do you fight like in JA or is the fighting like KOTOR?

You can have a family if you get married and have kids.


The having kids part of the game was cut according to the article on xbox.com.
