Last Friday at the Game Developers´ Conference in London, game designer Peter Molyneux talked about the new improvements on the upcoming Fable 2. Molyneux tried to avoid unnecessary hype by merely listing the features that will definitely be included in the sequel.
According to Molyneux you will now have a choice between male or female character, and you can raise your own children, who will be nice or naughty according to your own persuasion. You can also change the world around you with your actions. For example the outcome of a quest may affect the future of a town, or planted acorns might later grow into a tree. The fighting system will be improved so that the player must take into account the weight of the weapon, number of opponents and the surrounding environment.
