    Is it like in Fable 1 where you can kill people then buy their house to rent it out?

    Yep.

    Preacher: you asked me about Fable 2. I like it. I feel like it's been way too easy to become godlike, though. Everybody loves me, no enemies are challenging anymore, I boot up the game after not playing for a day and I've got a quarter-million in rent income straight into my bank. I kind of wish there were a land of super-duper extra-scary badguys to go to just so I can do something with all these spells and abilities I've leveled up.

    Yeah, Fable 2 was really fun for about 6-8 hours, and then it's just like "Well, now what?"

    the story was neat, but the progression wasn't the greatest. You barely got to spend any time with the guys you spent basically the entire game finding.

    Happens to us all fluffy, the opposite sex especially in a hunting ground like a club or basement are just not interested in long term conversations. They are more feeling you out to see if you dosed their drink.

    why spend money on drugs when you can just club one upside the head and drag her off into an alley

    A game with the look of Fable 2 but a dragon fight with mechanics inspired by Shadow of the Colossus would be the awesomest thing.

    Are your criticisms similar to the ones we voiced above (ie, too short, too easy, too little engagement with the friendly NPCs) or do you have other criticisms?

    I was disappointed when Fables promise of "Elder Scrolls with a decent fight system" turn into Gauntlet Legends with homo-sex.

    I was super-disappointed when they release another game without correcting the problem.

    Have you ever used Maptools?

    Never used it for Pathfinder but it is indispensable for other games.

    I actually prefer RPing with Maptools because I can macro all my dice-rolls.
