Fable 2 (Page 2 of 2)

Sex and Ramifications

Having sex with your mate can result in pregnancy, including the main character, or even a sexually transmitted disease. Another key feature has been added to Fable 2: sex. As before, players can find mates (and yes, same-sex marriages are still firmly in the game). But in a new twist, players can choose to have sex with a mate...and more interestingly, can choose to engage in protected or unprotected sex.

The latter option can result in a pregnancy, even for the main character (females are a new option for hero characters) or even a sexually transmitted disease. Once born, your offspring will bear a physical resemblance to your hero, and will celebrate your victories when you come by the homestead to visit the family.

What won't be in Fable 2? Miscarriages (Fable 2 "isn't a pregnancy simulation," Molyneux added), high-maintenance teammates (the dog "musn't p*ss players off"), and the mini-map from the first game (which Molyneux bemoaned as stealing all the attention from the graphics).

Molyneux shot down theories that Fable 2 would appear in 2007, though, meaning that 2008 is the most likely launch date for the game.

Overall, the graphics in the ultra-early build looked impressive but clearly unfinished. The dog was the most graphically detailed object on display, and featured advanced fur simulation, interpolated animation (which made for highly realistic movements), and massive outdoor environments.

Spooky, huh?
