Sword and bow controls will be assigned to your right hand and spell control to your left. This means that you can hack a couple of times, then immediately loose off a fireball or put up a magical shield. You can also expect to see lots in the way of what Lionhead calls fun' content: stuff that doesn't really affect the plot, but simply makes Fable more enjoyable to play.
You can import images to tattoo upon your character's body, make a photo journal that can be displayed online and prance around like a flamenco dancer. Lionhead is currently polishing the game like mad, and the version we saw looked tantalisingly close to completion. We'll soon know if Molyneux's mob can deliver the definitive Fable it's been promising all along.
I'm Stood In the middle of the local town, looking for something to do. On a curious whim, I remove all of my clothes. I'm sporting a set of Union Jack Y-fronts. Spying a nearby crate, I smash it open. A sudden holler goes up from behind me: "I saw that!
That's naughty! As I turn around, a small brat is running full-pelt for the nearest guard. An unlucky chicken feels my annoyance as I boot it across the square. Still nearly naked as the guards near, I flip the finger at them and make a mad dash for the other end of town with my entourage in tow. Imaginary Benny Hill music plays in my head. The guards finally catch me, take all my money in fines and dump me outside of town in nothing but my patriotic kecks. A nearby guard calls me "arseface.
I fart and laugh to myself. Welcome, ladies and gentleman to the world of Fable. A world in which the traditional trappings of a fantasy RPG swords, spells, stats - check collide head-on with the phenomenon of cause and effect meaning that pretty much every action you take will have some result in game, from your choice of haircut to whose blood you decide to spill. It's a simple concept, but one that's carried off with great aplomb, allowing you to play either the godly hero who gains power and respect through helping out the locals, or the dastardly anti-hero who steals everything that's not nailed down, beats up small children and throws a 'kiss my arse' gesture to anyone pot afraid to look.
Lionhead has always been one to try something a bit new and Fable's no different, starting you off as a wee nipper and taking you all the way through your character's life, right through to the pension and Just For Men' at the end.
Over time, your actions will start to impact upon your character's appearance. Enjoy picking fights and stealing stuff? Then watch as your character's skin turns pale, horns start to protrude from your forehead and flies gather around your napper. Prefer helping out the locals? Then your skin will start to glow, you'll get a halo and faint butterflies will encircle you. While the story progresses through the completion of the main missions, there's tons of extra content to be found too: fist-fighting, grave-digging, property development, card games and getting drunk to name a few.
Of course, you could just get pissed down your local, come home, throw up and badger your partner for sex. Just like real life really. Everything looks pretty tasty too running through the upgraded graphics engine and Lionhead's seen right to not only give the graphics a swift boot up the arse, but also extend the improvements to new spells, expressions, missions, regions and more. These aren't just crappy tacked-on extras either - an in-game brothel where you can choose to man-whore yourself out for extra moolah and a massive extra section based after the end of the original are just some of the fantastic extensions to the tale.
One of Fable's most refreshing facets is its attempt to tell an RPG tale in a lighter and more humorous style than normal. Its use of strong British accents, bizarre side quests magic mushrooms anybody? Having so far sung its praises, we should mention the drawbacks too. If you play games just for the challenge, you'll be disappointed - Fable's not set to tax either your grey matter or your fingertips although the 'lost chapters' at the end definitely provides much more of a task.
Also, despite having the extra third, it's still a tad on the short side for an RPG. Morrowind's endless expanses this definitely is not. Fable may not have reached the lofty heights of Molyneux's original vision, but the result is still a hugely amusing and entertaining waylo fritter away the hours. If you're looking for a highly polished RPG in which to exorcise your inner demons and kick defenceless farmyard animals , Fable tells the right story.
It's Always a pleasure to chat with Lionhead, so this month we were delighted to get together with Guildford's finest development house to hear the tall tale behind Fable: The Lost Chapters, one of the studio's most hilarious and bumpkin creations. We put on our robes and wizard hats to take council with brothers Dene Carter designer, left and Simon Carter lead coder, right , the minds behind all the brothels, phallic hedges and chicken football of Albion Sign up Log in.

The main factor in the game is good and evil. Good deeds bring you reputation, personal peace of mind, a halo over your head. The bad ones - wife violence, beating children, helping demons - will make your look evil, and people will bypass you..
