ITS FINALLY HERE!!!!

okay so Fable 2 is now amongst us, who has played it? What do you think about it? Let's get some feedback of the game. My copy came in but I won't even be able to play it for another couple of weeks or so, this outage is a pain in my arse this time around and has been consuming a lot of my time lately.....So, anyone that has had the pleasure of playing this game...please leave some thoughts.....likes, dislikes, things that didn't make it into the game as promised, and things you would have liked to have seen.
Thanks Guys! And Happy Gaming!!

I played it for about 3 hours last night err... this morning, whatever. I must say that I am really impressed. First off the graphics are amazing, you start off in a town in the middle of the winter and it just feels like your inside of a storybook. The controls are the same as the last Fable, which means it is easy to pick up and play.
The best thing about the game for me so far though is your dog. They really did an amazing job with the dog in this game. He does tricks, plays fetch, acts as your own personal GPS, growls when enemies are near, barks when he finds treasure, I could go on. Needless to say I grew very attached to my dog, which I named McKenzie after my real life dog.
One thing that bugs me though is that EVERYTHING is a moral decision in the game, which I guess can be a good thing, but its to the point where its a moral decision to decide what type of pose you do for a picture... Or someone will randomly come in the middle of a quest and say don't do what the original quest giver tells you, do what I tell you. Again this can be seen as a good thing, I just feel like its a little forced sometimes.
The game is amazing, even if your not really interested in RPGs you should check this one out.

The first of three issues I have with the game, is that your main character seems to almost skate everywhere, the movement is rather chunky especially when youre running. Personally I think it was a step down from the original.
The second would be that seeing as how my HD TV is still on its way back to the states, Im forced to play on a smaller, standard TV , and while it isnt the smallest TV in the world ,some of the words get cut off at the top when youre being briefed, which gets especially annoying when you first start off and well, its still rather annoying.I dont know if its just my TV or if other STANDARD TVs are having the same issues.
Lastly is sort of a combination. Sometimes the game can get rather slow, especially when youre going through your inventory, also you need to double tap A to read signs and be positioned almost perfectly in front of them, lol.
As for pros, I like how you start with a wider range of emotes and that its ridiculously easy to get people to like you right off the bat. I also like the ability to marry the same gender, woot and Ive spent nearly all my time making money by working as a black smith. Oh and the new slider part of the game that controls emotes as well as other mini games is actually fun to do. In my own opinion so far its a definite buy regardless of any issues.

Our preorder wasn't in the system last night so Game Stop wouldn't let us buy it from the midnight launch- so we ended up not sleeping all night to make sure we wouldn't oversleep, and we sat in the car in front of gamestop until they opened at 10.
Laguna played first and I wasn't super impressed, there are graphical issues besides the crappy TV we're forced to use.... like the top of the characters head disappearing in some cut scenes... then I passed out, but I'm awake now, and he's asleep, so I'm going to find out how it is firsthand! I'm just glad I could afford it AND Fallout 3...

Maybe it does have a lot to do with the TV, but I am playing it on a 50" HDTV and the game looks amazing.

great, I been hearing good things about it...Right now I am still in the Hotel (been here since August 11th, ha-ha) and looking at the end of the outage coming to an end and I will be coming home and geeking out to FABLE 2...If everything works out good I will be coming to Florida to work (hopefully will be there for AT LEAST a year so I'll get PLENTY of play time with this one.
Thanks for the Input Guys!
