Still not sold on Fable 3 as an iterative improvement over the last game in the series? Well, you might just change your mind when you hear about the game's latest feature, which was recently revealed in the latest Official Xbox Magazine: When you're not busy building a monarchy and roaming the wild landscape of Albion, you'll "be able to enjoy, ahem, intimate moments with your co-op friend and eventually produce offspring together," according to the mag.
We hope this isn't another one of those "no, really, the trees will grow" scenarios, because this is quite possibly the sexiest thing we've ever heard. Sure, it might lead to some horrifically awkward Xbox Live voice messages, but its raw sexiness is undeniable.

I wouldn't do this over Live, but my girlfriend really like Fable 2, so there's a good chance we'll both play Fable 3.

Maybe there will be a "Knocked up by Daddy Molyneux" cheevo. Maybe it's his fantasy to spread his virtual seed all over the XBL community.

Wait..... I just realized that having a virtual baby with my girlfriend would be a bad bad *bad* idea.
What the hell was I thinking?

@Dao
Yeah, I was reading through the other comments and came back up to the top when the thought hit me.
So what if my girlfriend *wants* to have a virtual baby? You're killing me, Molyneux.

So because of this feature, you wont be able to play Fable 3. You need to reserve the ability to say, sorry, I don't have the game to your girlfriend.

Actually, you know what? No. Now you listen up real good there, Heather. The one and only reason I find this mechanic just so very enticing is that it will keep me from having to read comments like yours as I can only assume that when the release day comes you'll be entirely too busy attempting to fulfill the kind of over-the-top, male-centric, medieval fantasies that have eluded you for so long. Got it?

I wonder if this is the Natal support that Molly was alluding to. Guess I'm going to have to find some ladies to add to my friends list.

Oops. I meant for couch/floor/kitchen table co-op, not live.

Currently searching for one verifiable female willing to take my virtual baby batter unto herself and produce me a virtual heir. Candidate must have a sexy voice, a respect for the works of Marvin Gaye, and the willingness never to speak of this again to anyone afterward.
Interested? Call me on my bat-phone.

Ignoring the outright creepiness of this idea, it does raise some potentially great news about Fable 2 coop. If you can have a child with your coop partner, there's probably a good chance it'll be a lot deeper than Fable 2's template generated partner crap. I wonder though if it is persistent, will the child be visible in both players individual realities outside of coop?

Cool. Now I can have dysfunctional relations with my friends in the real world about our digital baby.

Baby replaces the role of dog, co-op will be cut out of the game pre-launch and added in as a patch later.
