FABLE
II
This
sequel
to
the
original
hit
Role
Playing
Game
steps
it
up
big
time
with
its
multi-character
and
multi-choice
outcomes,
as
every
decision
you
make
(from
the
character
gender
to
path
of
good
or
bad)
has
an
influence
on
the
direction
of
the
story.
Here
the
world
of
Albion
is
ten
times
bigger
than
the
original,
making
free
roaming
that
much
more
appealing
and
adventurous.
Starting
off
as
a
penniless
kid
in
an
impoverished
town
nestled
in
this
fantasy
world
filled
with
possibilities,
you
possess
the
ability
to
rise
as
one
of
the
land's
biggest
heroes,
but
will
it
be
through
noble
acts
or
evil
deeds?
Interacting
with
other
characters
is
one
of
the
many
core
elements
-
choices
in
this
communication include
expressions
and
actions
which
contribute
to
the
perception
the
other
characters
have
of
you,
and
the
way
your
character
turns
out
(be
it
positive
or
negative)
-
your
physicality
also
adapting
accordingly.
Expressions
can
include
social,
fun,
rude,
playful
and
scary
variations.
All
magnitudes
of
tasks,
missions,
treasure
collection,
combat
and
magic
play
a
big
role
in
propelling
the
action
(and
outcome).
Other
players
can
join
in
at
any
time,
on
the
same
console
or
on-line
via
X
Box
Live.
Besides
heroic
behaviour
you
can
also
resort
to
crime
(and
get
nailed),
villagers
whose
opinion
of
you
get
elevated
can
fall
in
love
with
you.
You
can
have
(safe
and
unsafe)
sex,
contract
diseases,
get
married,
raise
a
family,
hold
a
job,
play
sub
games
and
gamble
for
gold,
trade
and
buy
essentials.
This
totally
engrossing
experience
could
easily
suck
you
in
to
live
this
completely
multi-layered
existence.
