Then I got into the real estate business and became filthy rich, and in being the sort of person who isn't that fond of wealth for the sake of caviar I turned all my properties down a measly 20 percent in discounting. I was playing through at a good pace, being a sort of disgustingly neutral person who neither kicked puppies nor fed them particularly well. Where you crack open JUST ONE innocent girl's skull and feast on the goo inside and all of a sudden you are an evil person (how unrealistic) Still I don't consider Fable 2 as a medium for a person to express their own morality as much as it is a medium for the creators to express theirs, allow me to run through my own choices to explain my personal experience and make my point. I didn't say the game was bad and when I say binary I don't mean as cut and dry as bioshock. This is how these games presume people should play them after all I thought, otherwise you would just pick 'good path' or 'evil path' in the start up menu like selecting a difficulty.ĭon't get your knickers too much in a twist. I try to role play…in these role playing games (imagine that) rather then making the morality choice the game is built around before I even start I let the game's attempts to influence my emotions and judgement and my reactions to them decide my choices.
I never be a jerk just for the sake of being a jerk and I never be good just for the sake of being good. I follow a set of rules I set out for myself to keep things honest. When I play games with some kind of morality component in them (and boy are they becoming a genre of their own these days). This is because noone read it on 1up and also to raise awareness in the hopes that Lionhead studios never puts me through this again.
With the announcement of Fable 3 I feel like reposting my old 1up rant about how Fable 2's morality system soured my experience with an otherwise decent game. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff. This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff.
