Fable Goodness

Lately, my game of choice has been Fable 2. It is a very well done game and it has so much replay value! In fact I'm playing it through for the third time around because it's so cool.

Your character has the option of being Good or Evil, Corrupt or Pure, Funny or Serious, Straight or Gay/Lesbian, you name it! There's so much to do. You can have multiple families, or no families and your kids eventually grow up as well. Each of your choices changes the appearance of your character. You can buy and remodel your homes as well, and there's all sorts of different clothes you can buy and even dye for your character.

The combat system is way fun too. You can be good at melee, ranged, or magic, or even all three!

The best part though is the storyline and the world they have created. I never played Fable 1, but this one takes place 500 years after that and includes many of the characters being referenced from the first game. There are lots of emotionally charged scenes and the voice acting is great as well. I simply could listen to Zoe Wanamaker's voice forever.

Zoe Wanamaker is so awesome! She voiced a Villainous Transsexual CGI flap of skin named Cassandra (it's a long story) from one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who! Later she came back and played Cassandra as a human in flashback where we learned she wasn't so bad after all. Awesome voice and an awesome game! I need to dump Resident Evil 5 and get me some of that Fable action!!!
