Neat, but that would make it seem way too easy to earn gold.

Re: Fable 2

I've had this huge urge lately to go back and play the first Fable again.

Re: Fable 2

This game keeps getting better by the minute. I hope there isnt a jaw dropping flaw waiting out there

Re: Fable 2

Speaking of wich,did they say how character aging works? I mean do you only go from kid to teen/adult and stay like that or will they get super old? If they get super old is there a way to be young again without starting the game over?

I wonder if putting the game in on launch day,investing in something,saving then moving the system clock ahead 5 years would make you rich.

In Fable you could just pay a bunch of money to have your age go down. (ten years a pop maybe?) Maybe they will incorporate something like that again.

Re: Fable 2

Lionhead hasn't talked a whole lot about aging in Fable II, but it was said in one of the video diaries that it has been slowed down quite a bit from the first game, and that 50 years is as old as you can get.

I thought I read somewhere that you can always go from evil to good (and vice versa), even after end game, by doing other deeds and whatnot...I don't know about making yourself younger though.

There was also a glitch with that which would allow you to revert to the point after you finished your heroes guild training.

I like how the dog kind of takes after you and your choices

Fable 2 Video Feature: Welcome to Albion

If you're not excited about Fable 2 by now, then you don't deserve your Xbox 360. That's right, hand it over, and the door's that a-way. Everyone else, those of you with immaculate taste and a thirst for adventure, should start stocking up on supplies ready for the game's release on October 24 in the UK.

By all accounts, it's the game everyone was expecting first time around, with Fable 2 taking the original's already beautiful world, moral dilemmas and sheer, heroic swashbuckling then stretching and refining them into something quite spectacular.

As the extremely talented chaps and ladies down at Lionhead put the finishing touches to Fable 2, IGN was lucky enough to be given the chance to go speak to the team about the game's development, from creating the world of Albion to why playing as a lady hero can be quite the disturbing experience for gentleman gamers.

You can watch the first part of our 'Making of' video feature today and discover how the design team shaped Albion one hundred years on from its appearance in the original Fable, as well as taking a look at some of the more ferocious beasts you'll encounter on your quest to become the ultimate hero.

We'll have even more over the coming weeks, so check back every Fable Friday for more exclusive insights into the creation of Fable 2. Next time, we'll be speaking to Lionhead about a hero's life in Albion beyond the sword-swinging and spell-casting.

Re: Fable 2

Any point in playing through Fable 1 first? I only rented it for a few days when it came out. I don't think it's important but I could be missing something.
