Apparently. Fable 2 looks a lot more shit than Fallout 3 but I'd like to read some impressions here anyway.

God damn it, why do they keep leaking these things for the 360? Now this really means pc gaming is doomed.

I was never excited about Fable II anymore than Fallout 3. Eh. Shit AAA RPGs.

Fable II is Xbox-exclusive.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I'll wait for the inevitable PC version and then torrent it.
Why don't they just release the PC version right away instead of making it console exclusive first? Bah.

I'm actually going to buy Fable 2. I liked the first Fable so I have a strong feeling I'll like the second Fable.

edit: Seems like Lionhead invested in better voice acting.

Apparently they've got Stephen Fry, Bill Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter. Carter has done voice-over work before, I don't know how good the other two are voice-acting though.

Stephen Fry is a well-known british actor and narrator of audiobooks. He was in Blackadder. Bill Nighy is also a great british actor. Unfortunately, I suppose he's best known as Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Carribean movies.

Very cool of Lionhead.

Don't you see that this means Lionhead are trying to compete with Bethesda's Sean Bean, Star Trek-guy and Terence Stamp?

Fable 3 will surely have Morgan Freeman cast as the player's father.

Yes, I know who they are. I'm not a fucking moron. My question was, are they good VOICE actors?

They have GOOD VOICES, Matt my little snugglepuss! Both have done the THEATRE! Fry, as I said, has narrated a helluva lot of audiobooks. I'd say his voice is very well-known and very much TRUSTED. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Anyway, having watched a bit of this game, I must say the dialogue is...not very good. I'm not sure why OXM was raving about the game's charm.
i was under the impression that oxm ratings were mostly hype-based.

with molyneux being a crypto-racist, there are no sub-humans in or involved with fable, and never will be.

freeman should do (more) vg voice overs though.

i was being mostly (the serious part is that molyneux really gives me a crypto-racist vibe) sarcastic, playing on there being only whites in both fables.

Well funny enough, there was not much of Asian people in Europe in the 14th century ... or even Black people.

You might call it racist but honestly ... there is a reason why for millennium there was racial hegemony, not we can say that ... oh, no ... only white people are racist.
