Create-a-Henchman in Fable 2

Really want to play some Fable 2 co-op but don't have a character to import? No problem! Revealed in an upcoming OXM UK article, Peter Molyneux has made it known that second players will be able to create and customize their own henchmen in a flash. Plugging in a second controller brings up a menu which then allows the second player to create a new henchman and carry on playing. Sounds like just the ticket for some casual gaming friends who don't want to bother creating their own full character. The full Fable 2 preview will be in the next issue of the UK's Official Xbox Magazine, which goes on sale tomorrow. We expect details of that article will hit the net shortly thereafter, so stay tuned.

I didn't think online co-op had been confirmed for Fable 2, just rumoured to be maybe happening, perhaps, possibly?

I haven't heard or read anything about online co-op, just couch co-op. I will be disappointed if it isn't online co-op.

Definitely looking forward to playing with my wife. She played a bit of Fable a while back and really liked it. It's really cool to see an RPG approach co-op like this.
