Although I have my doubts, I just hope for two things for Fable 2. A longer game, and just a slightly more complex RPG system.
I beat the entire game in one weekend, and it was disappointing to me that the inventory / RPG aspects of the game were so shallow. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, but man - it had so much unspent potential.

You can do co-op on one Xbox, that's actually all they seemed to be showing at the conference.

I used to play UO and monsters rarely dropped a lot of gold. They would drop armor and stuff that was worth a good bit of money which you could then sell. So maybe in Fable 2 they'll just drop stuff you could take to a store and get cold hard cash.

Sidequests and assassin missions are usually fun ways of making money, but can someone please explain the appeal of serious work to make cash in games? That's the kind of thing that keeps me from playing MMOs like WoW - It sometimes feels like you're just spending lots of time keeping a second job, and that just isn't much fun to me. This coming from someone who loved the original Fable to pieces...

I honestly will miss the snack cakes and ice cream most of all...

Well if MS really wants to push their Live Anywhere and Games for Windows initiatives, and wants to deliver on their promise from a year ago that there would be some measure of cross-platform multiplayer between the 360 and PC, you'd think they'd make cross platfor coop a priority.
Fable 2 would be a great "showcase" title for GfW so if they have any sense, they'd enable cross-platform play for it.

I don't have any doubts that it will come to the PC eventually but, so far as I know, there haven't been any official announcements or anything, which makes cross-platform play seem unlikely at this stage. The only other game I know that supports cross-platform play is Shadowrun, and that was developed as a multi-platform game from the start.

I thought 'realism' went out the window the moment it became a *fantasy* game...
Just saying.

Precisely. When since does a game have to be realistic to be immersive? I personally find games to be a lot more engaging when they try to be fun, rather than fail to be real. (and face it, with current technology and input methods, games can't even come close to being 'real')

This game was originally titled 'Animal Crossing 2: The Fable'

Ok, aside from having to do "side jobs" to earn money I didn't read anywhere that you won't be getting money from quest too, right?
Who is to say that doing one large quest won't net you as much money as working your "job" for a few virtual days. Also you may actually get a large some of money from your job meaning: Maybe the goods in fable are cheap enough where you won't be broke ass hell.
Honestly until the game gets closer to coming out, we shouldn't freak out and assume we are going to be spending all our time grinding away on mini games.
