It's Good to Play Together
Fable II's co-op play comes in a couple of flavours - couch co-op and online co-op. In couch co-op, a friend can pick up the second controller and hop straight into the game at any time for any length of time. You'll share the screen and go adventuring together. Online co-op is slightly different. As you move throughout the world, you'll see purple orbs that represent other players (from your friend list and possibly based on other criteria such as location) also playing the game. Want one to join you? Simply walk up to it and you can invite them in as a henchman (or give them a gift if you're not in the mood). On the invite screen you're able to determine the terms of the co-op - how much gold and experience points will you share? The other player can - again - play cooperatively for as much or as little time as he likes, then take the spoils back to his own game.
Importantly, the actions of a henchman are persistent, so if you invite a friend in, who then goes and kills all your children, there's no way to bring them back. You can see how the choice to share your world can have a tangible impact upon it.
Co-op is a chance for other players to check out your character and your world, and thanks to the dynamic nature of the game, you'll likely see some big differences from your own. Of course, you don't have to rely on simply stumbling across a friend's orb in the game world - you can also find out where friends are and what they're doing from the map screen and then jump right to them. | |

They just want to make sure Online Co-op works the way the intended it to. At least they didn't rush the feature to make it on the disk. | |

Join Date: May 2008 Age: 37 | I'm pretty much only getting it for the co-op. I hope it works, even if it's a week down the line. Any more delay than that and something fishy was going on with the co-op based marketing campaign.
As for Fallout, I'm going to wait and get that used or free (Goozex). It seriously does look like Oblivion: Apocalypse and I don't have a good solo RPG track record. But the premise is far more interesting than elves and trolls (Fantasy). | |

| I am actually leaning towards holding off on buying this until after I finish up Fallout 3. I don't need more than 1 "Arr Pee Gee" at a time. | |

Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Hill Valley, 2015 Age: 25 | I think I will. No co-op out of the gate is a breaking point. Couch co-op is no longer a viable option for most. Saying that it will have local co-op isn't good enough, not after Live co-op was hyped up so much. There is no excuse for that. I can't believe the shit that the developers tell us, only not to deliver. I can't stand it when people stick up for them, too. They get my hard earned money, I should get what they initially promised me. Simple as that.
I loved the original Fable, but the game was full of broken promises.

I am glad that I have a friend that I can play this with but I still need to find a way to pay for Fallout 3 and left 4 dead so I may end up trading it in if the online coop isnt released by the time I beat it once or twice. | |

Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Tazewell TN Age: 30 | im more interested in this than fallout 3. But fall out 3 does look like a good game too. I just thought the first fable had a almost .....ummmmmm for lack of a better word "childlike" feel, which I liked. It wasnt so dark and gloomy which is refreshing IMO. But I'll also say Riddick for the original xbox was really dark and really good. | |
