11:29 am PT -- He's showing us Fable 2. "No surprises," says Molyneux. Two new features are up for discussion and a live demo is to be shown. "It's very scary."

11:30 am PT -- In Fable 2, money is very important. You get money for doing jobs and... well, gambling. Walk into a pub and play a game -- this one's called Keystone.

11:31 am PT -- A bit of a cross between Roulette and Craps, says Peter. He bets on 17, rolls the dice and ... wins? We think he's cheating. It was a trick! It's actually an XBLA game.. the money won can be used in Fable 2.

11:32 am PT -- The game will be released a few weeks before Fable 2 -- "You'll be rich before you start playing the game." Peter points out that he's a woman. In the game. His Fable 2 character stands in a lush forest, the trusty Fable dog a few steps behind.

11:33 am PT -- The next feature requires an assistant. "What I really want is dynamic co-op," declares Peter. At any time during the game, another character can join you.

11:34 am PT -- Peter's friend teleports into the scene -- any experience and money he earns here can be taken back to his own single-player game.

11:35 am PT -- It seems the friend can't bring his dog -- aww. The two characters stand at a fork in the road. They're off to pick a fight. " Combat is a big thing, " says Peter. It has to be accessible and deep enough for everyone -- "It's gonna be amazing."

11:36 am PT -- Some monsters are slain, with Peter's character wielding a gun and his friend swinging a sword. It seems a little abrupt. Peter heads off to his home -- he's been pregnant, you know. His son runs up, "I never thought you'd ever come back!"

11:37 am PT -- "It's complete simulation." Peter's husband doesn't seem pleased -- in fact, he seems like a douchebag. Peter's friend shoots the husband! That seemed harsh. Peter warns us to be careful about who you invite into your game and marches off.

1. There will be an XBLA game released a few weeks before Fable. The money won works between both games.
2. There is co-op, another player can join you from their own campaign
3. You can get pregnant (if you're a woman)... and apparently your spouse can die lol

Thoughts.

Guns seem cool. Liked the first game but never finished it.

Damn, I need to get the first Fable before I think about this one. This one looks great and all, but I need to get a used copy of the first one.

Sounds good though.

This game will be set the new benchmark in RPG's.

Fable 1 was great fun, so I can't wait for Fable 2
