Fable 2 Has Some Lovely Prostitutes Up For a Bit of Fun

During the GDC in February, Peter Molyneux divulged some more info regarding Fable 2 about jobs, gold and how online co-op can quickly turn a bit mad. He demonstrated this in a demo for the game, which you can view here, but it has been a while since we heard any real details on the game, so here is a list of a few of the more mentionable gameplay elements in Fable 2. Call it a bit of a refresher course if you will.
- Co-op can be joined or left at any time
- Gold is pretty hard to earn
- You can get a job as a paid henchman through co-op
- Other lines of work include work as an assassin, barman, or blacksmith
- Online gambling will come into play
- Wives, husbands, and children will get sullen with you for certain actions and can also die; your children can be sent off to an orphanage
- Swordplay will range from simplistic button mashing to full-out flashy moves
- The prostitutes are not too pretty
Some of us were highly disappointed with the first Fable, but is sounds like this one will be more fun than you can shake a sack of gold at. What I found quite amusing today, was the new bit of concept art released for the prostitutes in the game. They look a bit suspect if you ask me, and I am wondering what sort of virtual precautions our character will have to undertake when purchasing the wares that these chippies are hawking. No matter how hideous that third lady of the evening is, it might be fun to take pity on her considering the fact that she probably doesn’t make as much as the others- although they could all use a good scrubbing from the looks of things.
Being a female you would think I would be offended by such an idea, but personally I think it is quite hilarious and I can’t wait to see what sorts of “trouble” my character can get into. Fable 2 is suppose to be released really late in the year, which makes one assume it will be here just in time for the holiday shopping extravaganza. Stay tuned for more info folks.

I was thinking the same thing, but with that line-up, you know there is something with that first one saying "Too good to be true".

So, are all of the xbots buying into the hype that trees will grow in front of you just like the first one?
Seriously, Fable sucked, the only reason they are making a 2nd one is because MS knows they've lost the war and they went crying to them to make another game.

@ Doctor Obvious
I love people like you, who cares about console wars anymore. Your like the fat kid in grade school that got the first pokeman card and when the kids stopped playing it you couldn't let it go. No one like a fat piece of shit that still can't grow up.

You may love them, but I find them to be a blight on society. I suppose that the halo series, the GTA series coming over, and Assassain's Creed did nothing for MS? Fat kid indeed. Go play with your pokemon cards.

Strange, I don't know what Fable did to earn such hatred. I thought it was a pretty decent fantasy RPG that tried to do some innovative things. Not having an Xbox, I'm glad they ported it to PC, as I enjoyed it a lot.

Molyneux claimed that Fable 1 was going to be the best game ever. It was also incredibly hyped. It was supposed to revolutionize the industry. It didn't live up to expectations. So while yes, a good game, people hated it for promising to deliver something it didn't. Personally, I thought it was a great game. The only RPG I played twice through.
