Maybe someone can describe it to me, I have never played Fable 1 (and don't intend to do so). The reviews seem to be mostly postive, while player reviews vary from "it lacks depth" to "meh" to "it's totally awsum!"
I'm not a big fan of Molyneux since the Black & White debacle, but I'm willing to give that one a chance.
From the reviews, it doesn't seem to have complex character interactions (emoticons?), neither does it have a great story, yet it seems to have a ton of fans thanks to an atmosphereic gameworld and some humorous takes on characters, so maybe there's something to it. Are the characters likeable, or is everyone a silly circus clown? I also read the combat system is quite fun, despite being too easy. I don't know, something still tells me it's a reeking pile of shyt, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Edit: Oh damn, I just posted that into the wrong forum. Mods please move it into Computer & Console, thanks.
