Default Can't sleep because of Fable 2

Whew long post...

I don't think i've ever been this hyped for a game. Watched every single video/interview there is... Read every single article about the game I could find... I still can't stop thinking about it.

Theres just so much to this game... Marriage, children, able to buy any house in the game. The world is 10x larger than fable 1 and has no loading screens. It is a fully open world. On top of that after you buy a house you can customize everything inside of it, upgrade it, rent it out, or even turn it into a shop and sell things for profit. You can even buy castles which unlock side quests where you can find secret doors for legendary items.

The fact you can get married and have children, and teach them good or bad things is pretty awesome, they even grow (Capped at age 17). Your free to be as evil or good to them as you want. Your wife can even leave you, or cheat on you.. taking half of your belongs (or you can just kill her )

Another good thing, unlike fable 1, the major towns in this game can be fully massacred.. Theres no "put your weapons away" crap. Your are completely free to be as good or evil as you want!

Did I mention you can even get STDs in the game by having unprotected sex, or get a girl pregnant forcing you to marry her.... or you can go the evil route and just kill her. (if you play as a women you can get pregnant and be stuck with a kid). Theres condoms and everything. Its add a whole new thing to RPGs. While some players might not like all this extra "non-killing" stuff.. I think its pretty awesome, it seems really fun and it'd be nice to just be able to go do random stuff and kill time.

This game will truely let you be evil... and I mean really really evil. I don't have a taste for most of that stuff, i'll most likely be going a type of "neutral good". After I beat the game i'll do some of the more evil stuff.

This is the game of 2008 for me. I can't wait! 17 days...

Anyone else as hyped as me?

I am just hoping that Peter Molyneux delivers on all the promises he's made on this one (unlike Fable 1).

He would lose my respect if he did that again. He still has the whole "I want to make the best RPG ever" attitude.

The whole "plant a seed and a tree will grow over the years" and "write your name in a tree and you can come back 40 years later to find the tree dead but your name still in the tree".

I think he promised that stuff before the game was gold. Peter is promising all this stuff, and fable 2 has been completed for a few weeks now. So if he's saying all this stuff, he's 100% sure whats in the game and what isn't in the game.

RL has real consequences.. A game doesn't it.

It's not so much having babies, as it is making them.
