Fable 2 "content complete" by week's end

By Robert Purchese Published 14 May, 2008

Molyneux adamant it's out this year.

Peter Molyneux has said Fable 2 will be "content complete" by the end of this week, and assured us that any rumours it will slip to next year are "unfounded".

He was talking to IGN at the Microsoft event in San Francisco, and said it was just bug-testing and tweaking left to be done on the title.

Molyneux also offered a more in-depth look at the Xbox 360-exclusive and "holiday"-bound title, detailing the opening sequences you spend as a child with your sister, Rose, as well as the five augmentation slots for weapons and the customisable rings, earrings, and necklaces.

He's still banging his morality drum, too, with one example of a difficult choice given as choosing if you or a lovely girl passing by is to have their face horribly and permanently disfigured. Remember, the world will behave differently to you decide to bear the burden.

Many of the other features Molyneux told us about back in February at the Game Developers Conference.

Expect more information on the title as the event unfolds.

Until then, pop over to our Fable 2 gallery for the freshly released and rather impressive screenshots.

    Remember, the world will behave differently to you decide to bear the burden.

    Is that sentence meant to make sense?

    @Jowiddaflo - Remember, the world will behave differently to WHO you decide to bear the burden.

    That still doesn't make sense :S

  • penhalion #7 4 years ago

    " Remember, the world will behave differently to you decide to bear the burden."

    Er english - junior school level would dictate the sentence as :

    Remember, the world will behave differently to you if you decide to bear the burden.

    Edit: I guess you could also change it to

    Remember, the world will behave differently to you who decide to bear the burden.

    If you wanted to aim it at an audience in a theatrical manner.

    Is it meant to be "Remember, the world will behave differently depending on how you decide to bear the burden"?

  • bengray66 #9 4 years ago

    Remember, the world will behave differently to WHO you decide to bear the burden.

    Idiot....

    Remember, the world will behave differently to you, IF you decide to bear the burden....

    @ Pen :

    Think that should be :

    Remember, the world will behave differently to who you decide should bear the burden...

    @penhalion

    That also makes sense :)

    @bengray66:

    Nah, what pen's got is good - it is theatrical like he says :) In a kind of a "To you who stand before us" type of way ;)

    World behaviours change acording to the burdens placed upon those who choose it?

  • Azazel #12 4 years ago

    Your burden changes worlds through the carrying!

    Somebody set up us the bomb!

    You are on the way to destruction!

    MAKE YOUR TIME

  • Machiavel #15 4 years ago

    the world will behave differently to you decide to bear the burden

    Isn't that the Japanese translation of the new James Bond film?

  • Dafridge #16 4 years ago

    Remember, the world will behave differently to he who decided to burden us with poor sentence structure.

  • Azazel #17 4 years ago

    A Eurogamer comments thread is much like 'Murder on the Orient Express'.

    Everyone steps forward to stab the corpse of a poorly constructed sentence.

  • Stoatboy #18 4 years ago

    Remember to behave, and burden a different bear with the world?

    Remember the world differently, and behave like a burdened bear?

    Remember your beehive, and bear a different world with a bird on?

  • penhalion #19 4 years ago

    * drops knife *

    /leaves room while others are looking at the corpse ;)

    Edit: In all fairness, this thread is probably more interesting than the actual articles that have been appearing on EG lately.

    Arbiter being negative in a Fable 2 comments section, what ever next?
    Remember the burden you choose will bear the burden of choice, differently in the world of burden......Choice.

  • jiveguy #21 4 years ago

    I think this article is meant to be a tribute to Molyneuxs dyslexia.

    Also how can you say something is content complete by weeks end? Will there be someone going "...and this last explodey barrel goes...here! DONE!"
