        Fable II: Saint or Sinner

        Morality plays a large role in Fable II. The choices you make not only have an impact on the world around you, but affect the way people perceive you. It's important to note that there are two levels to morality. Of course, there's a good/evil meter, which measures how you act in the world. Kill innocents and make selfish choices and you'll push the meter towards evil. Donate to the Temple of Light and put the needs of others above your own and the needle will lean more towards good. But there is another measure of morality -- pure vs. corrupt.

        Purity and corruption are more subtle aspects of good and evil. Stealing, being lazy, eating excessively -- these are corrupting acts that will make you less attractive. Giving gifts and eating well are ways to keep your body pure (and sexy). And yes, you need to watch what you eat. If you want to be pure, then you can't eat meat or drink liquor. It ain't easy being pure. Before you get cranky about this, consider that in reality drinking, smoking, and eating bad food can all affect your appearance negatively. Kudos to Fable II for throwing in a bit of the real world with the fantasy.

        There's no reason why you can't be a completely corrupt (and perhaps morbidly obese) hero who makes all the right choices when it comes to saving the world. And on the flip side, you could be the most insanely evil vegetarian the world has ever known. A special title is awarded based on these ratings. This title can be found in your logbook, in the personality section. If you're completely evil and totally corrupt, you'll be "The Ghoul," a character who is "as degenerate as he is evil." On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is "The Saint," who is "as pure and benevolent a being as Albion has ever seen." There are a number of titles in-between, but you'll have to play Fable II to discover them.

        At their extremes, your character will have a menacing appearance and horns growing out of their forehead or a beatific look and a halo above their head. Not only will your appearance change, but that of your dog's. As we all know, a pet is often an extension of his owner. An evil owner's dog will morph to look similar to a Rottweiler with red eyes and a nasty disposition, while a good hero's pup will grow to look like a yellow lab. And don't think your children are exempt. They mimic their parents. Before having kids, consider that you may be giving birth to a little hellspawn. You won't really see horrible actions from your kid, but there is definitely a difference between a child born of goodness and one born to a wicked parent.

        Peter Molyneux has promised that he's going to make it really hard to be good. He is true to his word. There are some malevolently fun things to do when you're evil. The primary task is sacrificing innocents at the Temple of Shadows. Get a group of trusting individuals to follow you and lead them to the Temple's circle of sacrifice. Pull the wheel to determine their fate. Will they die by electrocution? Be impaled? Beheaded? Turned into chickens? Or will they experience a sudden sex change? There's only one way to find out -- spin the wheel!

        Good people get to, uh, donate to the Temple of Light. Awesome?

        Your path to good or evil, purity or corruption opens new expressions and can have a very real impact on the world around you. We'll leave these instances for you to discover, but promise that there are several distinct moments and they do change the future of Albion.

        Check back Monday, October 20 at 6am PST for our review of Fable II.

          Re: Fable 2

          Now that launch trailer would make a great TV ad. A bit too long but I'm sure it could've been cut down.

          That IGN special raised another possible character related concern for me. It seems like you may not be able to have a good looking evil character. Evil often looks better than good and uses it too. Might be able to do it though. I also know most people don't care about that type of thing.

            That is insane cause you can.

            So why get married? Some folks enjoy being nagged in both real life and the virtual realm. Marriage in Fable II requires you to maintain a proper household allowance for your spouse and to appease his or her needs. Some people are fine with a hero being gone for three months at a time. Others want attention every day. They will also want sex -- sometimes often. So, in that regard, Fable II is nothing like real marriage.

            When screwing either your spouse or a whore, you can choose to use protection or live free. Be careful, though, as unprotected sex leads to STDs and children. If you're a female hero and you get knocked up, you won't be able to go out adventuring while pregnant. Instead, you wake up to find the baby already born and in the crib. You can name the little one and watch them grow. When you come back from long adventures, your little one will cheer you and say sweet things to melt your heart. Just be sure to visit often or your spouse will get fed up and divorce you, taking the child with them and disappearing from Albion.

            Though the expression system is fairly simple, there are some fun things you can do if you experiment. Like having an orgy. We'll leave that to you to figure out.

                      its not excatly a bann, but to me its the same as because im not going to ever go back in there, without an awkward feeling anyway lol.. but basically i got part time job one summer in between football practices there, i only mention the football thing because one of the managers there allowed me to be a little bit late due to practice and let me leave early when needed, he was a pretty cool guy, but the other manager there who didnt like that happening and i guess wanted to hire someone who could work the whole time or something, but anyway he told every one there that i was stealing from the store and had me on the tapes and what not, so i just stay away from there now. because basically almost everyone still works there from when i did.... i would go back there if i had to but if not i think ill pass on that awkwardness lol..

                        I hope this game doesn't turn out to be crazy easy like Fable. That made it so dull after just a couple hours.

                        The game is looking great; and I hope they finally provide a challenge with it.

                            Nope no difficultly setting.

                                Difficulty is dynamic. How well this works remains to be seen. Still looks fairly easy from everything I've seen.

                                ...

                                From somebody on another forum that has the game.

                                How do I lose weight!? I'm fat and the veggies do nothing!

                                Also, how do I cure my STD?
                                You guys please be serious in here. There are sores all over my body. I don't want to die. =(
                                Basically I've been just sleeping and eating veggies but still fat as hell. My body has sores all over. I have flies around me. Keep drinking potions to cure, don't work. I have evil raccoon eyes.
                                Kinky bisexual barmaid at the pub. I thought she would be the one.

                                I look like Vincent D'Onofrio moments before offing the drill instructor.
                                Thanks to everyone's kind donations in Bowerstone I'm STD and corrupt-free. I have a beautiful wife Stacey and a young daughter now. I now spend my time in Old Bowerstone giving free sock puppet shows to the less fortunate children as a way of giving back to the community. Also I killed that **** of a barmaid carrying the STD's....****ing force pushed her into the ****ing ocean.
