 And I should put out a bias warning straight away. I loved the original Fable, even if the complexity of the game imploded the experience such that a decision at a crucial moment ended any chance of progression. I thought the setting, freedom, presentation and game-play where outstanding at the time. So with a few years of even further experience under the collective belts of designer Peter Molyneux and his Lionhead Studio team, anticipation and expectation for the sequel were very high.
