While having a kid in Fable II sounds neat, the dog ultimately proves to be a more lovable companion.
I never ended up playing the first Fable, but having now completed Fable II, I have to say that the series does deserve its fan following. Fable II is an adventure-RPG game that plays like an offline World of Warcraft style game while also including Sims-like character statistics and management. The game is quite enjoyable for the most part, with its main problem being that it suffers from not being able to deliver on some gameplay aspects it flirted with.
Good
- The dog companion is quite innovative and enjoyable
- Charming presentation
- Intuitive and engaging combat system
Bad
- Limitations on many of the grander aspects of the game
- Poor co-op
- Several bugs combined with no save slot management system
