Fable 2 launch trailer asks: Who will you become?

Hot on the heels of the live action destiny trailer, Lionhead has released the official Fable 2 launch trailer. The trailer focuses on the same central theme as the destiny trailer, only this one is composed entirely of gameplay footage. With central question being "Who will you become?" we're treated to a very wide variety of different characters from burly pirates to lithe assassins. We also get a peak at some impressive landscapes. Since the trailer puts for it's question so bluntly, we might as well ask: what do you plan to do when you pick up Fable 2 (assuming you plan to). Oh, and those of you wanting to see the trailer in HD, it's currently available on Xbox Live Marketplace.

I'm going to try to make reasonable choices that I would if I were really in those situations.. In that case, probably mostly good with a little shady mixed in.

I always seemed to become a Spellcaster Knight, or w/e. Funny thing i noticed. The first Fable's tagline was "Who will you be?" now its "Who will you become?" lol kinda hard to create taglines for the game i guess lol

For my first go around, I intend to focus less on being wholly good or completely evil and more on the ambiguous grey areas they allow with this expanded moral system. I'd really like to be a surly loner, a gunslinger with a strong sense of duty but a willingness to do what it takes to get the job done. I'll avoid showmanship, forgoing any publicity stunts or social interaction, instead keeping to myself and avoiding the limelight though I'll still do the right thing when I know it has to be done. People will see me as a hero but will not exactly want to get to know me. This morally ambiguous anti-hero is an archetype that exists in many games, books and movies but has never quit been possible in a game that focuses on Good of Evil choices. So I intend to push that as hard as possible.

My character's name?

Well... Roland, of course.

I am worried that the dog will die as part of the main plot.

Molyneux said in an interview that that's what he thought everyone would think; however, he said it's not that obvious. Which still leaves the door open for it to happen, but indicates that it will not be a ham handed event.

Kamal said...

Yeah, my fear is that I will become attached to the dog and have it die or worse, have to kill it myself.

I intend to play the game as myself and see where that takes me. I say this because if you play the game with the intention of being wholly good, bad, neutral or whatever it ceases to be a reflection of your character (as in your real life character). This is after all how Molyneux says he hopes people will play.

Really can't wait for this game. I was kind of mixed on the first one, even before release... but this just looks fun.

I find playing as good characters more fullfilling and enjoyable than playing evil (or even gray) characters. Killing and destroying for the sake of killing and destroying eventually wears on me, and besides its too easy to be bad. Playing good takes more discipline and ends up being more fullfilling in the end.

I will play as the good hero.

Fable II - $60
GOW2 - $60
Left 4 Dead - $60
COD5 - $60
Fallout 3 - $60
DeadSpace -$60

= $360

I smell a Xbox conspiracy. And an empty bank account.

First play through- good
Second- evil
thrid- totally neutral (gray if you will)
