GDC08: Focus on Fable 2's female

by James Ransom-Wiley { Feb 21st 2008 at 3:30AM }

We hope she's not leaping fences with a bun in the oven! In conjunction with today's announcements (a Fable minigame sold separately ... c'mon, really?), Microsoft has posted new shots of Fable 2, sporting considerably more sheen -- and feminine fl-air -- than the last time we spent face time with Molyneux's baby. We're scheduled to catch up with Peter and see more of Fable 2 tomorrow.

I think those screenshots fall under "good enough". As long as they make sure the game is good. Maybe more than 10 hours long. Maybe have areas that are more than 20 feet wide. Maybe.

And when I say screenshots, I mean graphics. Woo, it's early for me.

Gehodra @ Feb 21st 2008 3:42AM

Too early*

And even that really doesn't make sense.

*bangs head on desk*

That's it, I'm going to sleep.

Good work on the triple post shenanigans. I've tried and the best I can get is one.

Sorry but that is one ugly b¥tch
Looks like a man with that strong jaw

Great looking game tho.

Her face kinda reminds me of one of the female orc faces you can pick in WoW.

Orc women in my Fable? It's more likely than you think!

BananaBoat @ Feb 21st 2008 4:30AM

I agree, she is hideous. Hopefully she'll be like the black girl from the first fable, and you'll get the opportunity to get rid of her at some point. What was her name again? Anyway, this game better make up for Fable 1's crap-fest.

Dirk Dorkelson @ Feb 21st 2008 8:23AM

That's the main character, dude. That's you. You can play as a man or a woman. I'm guessing you can customize your appearance somewhat, so you don't look like that, though.

Pointz @ Feb 21st 2008 4:38AM

Why are the bad guys dressed like her? They have they same blouse

bAssackwards @ Feb 21st 2008 4:46AM

It might be hard to see, but there is a naked bad guy over in the distance. She stole their equipment.

Pointz @ Feb 21st 2008 4:55AM

I wonder how many people just re-looked at the picture trying to find that guy

I know I'm guilty

:raises hand:

on topic though..

gametrailers has a nice 3-some of game walkthroughs from GDC, very interesting. he also mentiones some great multiplayer info.

...

guess i just semi-jacked some of Joystiq's thunder since they're covering it tomorrow.

please dont ban me!

:dramatically cute cat eyes gaze:

Cool. After I beat the game once, I'm gonna go through as a really fat chick, just for the experience.

Anticrawl @ Feb 21st 2008 8:05AM

So what were you going to play through as first? Don't leave me hanging. Is it a really skinny chick?

Plump fat chick > sickly skinny chick in all ways except certain potential illnesses.

StevenRafael @ Feb 21st 2008 7:58PM

I was thinking average 20 y/o Caucasian male, but you're right! Sickly anorexic chick ftw!

Think about how epic it would be, to grow from a measly abandoned orphan girl (guess the parents wanted a son) to a starving, bitter, lunatic woman! No one will believe in me and everyone will laugh, but I'll show them all!!

After I finish the game, I'll name it "The Turth about Diamonds" http://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-Diamonds-Novel/dp/0060820489

Anticrawl @ Feb 21st 2008 8:03AM

I like a woman who can kick my ass!

Haha not really, but I did feel it needed to be said by someone, somewhere and at sometime.

FidliousWong @ Feb 21st 2008 8:14AM

I'll admit it. I went from "meh" on this game to "okay, need know more..."

Gangsta Smurf @ Feb 21st 2008 8:15AM

Day one purchase

Anticrawl @ Feb 21st 2008 8:28AM

I will put my money down now if that co-op is online. Though I think my girlfriend might actually enjoy this RPG so I hope it will feature some splitscreen action as well.

Boffo the Sock @ Feb 21st 2008 9:50AM

My girlfriend likes every game I play. I can't imagine how I would play otherwise since I hold my controller with my girlfriend.

GRANTED @ Feb 21st 2008 10:12AM

it must be really chilly over in image 16...

badbob001 @ Feb 21st 2008 2:09PM

Looks like a skinny dude to me.

Guys, the mini game is not a requirement to buy. It's going to be shipped with the game but they are allowing you to buy the minigame via the arcade early to rake up dough for your character.

This was brought up and answered on the Lionhead boards yesterday.
