I'm playing Fable II because I forgot I had it and I can't find Saints Row 2. Whenever I play games like these, I always try to be on the 'really good' end of the morality wheel, and I started that way with this one.. I like, bought every store (save for the blacksmith and jeweller) in Bowerstone and then reduced the prices 60%.

Then I realized that was really fucking boring, so I went out and murdered about 30 guards, sacrificed my wife to the Shadow Temple, doublecrossed all of my quest-givers, stole lots, spent about 6 hours grinding, and now I'm about 400 XP away from another health upgade.

I absolutely like this one more than the first Fable, likely because I actually 'get' it now. (When I played Fable 1 when I was 14 or 15 I was fucking terrible at it and could not keep myself interested.) Guns are simple, getting specific XP is easy and I'm sure Fable II is better. I just want to take advantage of this game then transfer everything to the next. Woo Lionhead, keep pumpin' this stuff out.

tl;dr Open world games with a moriality systems are best when you don't give a shit
