Fable Chat Log

It appears that a fan of the game has posted an itemized log of the recent chat with Big Blue Box and Lionhead about their upcoming Xbox RPG, Fable. An excerpt about NPCs:

NPC Characters

<[BBB]Dene> Being a hero is a an honour in Albion, and requires a lot of training. As a result, they guard their glory fairly jealously and don’t tend to join others on quests. However, there are plenty of hired swords in the world who will join you if you have the cash, and they think you are ‘like minded’

<[BBB]Dene> We’ve a cast of ‘main heroes’ you’ll come across again and again. Peter – how much can we tell them about story stuff? Will Cathy kill us?

<[LH]AdamR> Villager personalities : yes yes YES! – there are a multitude of different villager personalities. Some get scared easy, others start offf finding you ugly but perhaps are easy to chat up, and so on and on. The most extreme example is the bandits, who have a very different moral interpretation of your hero deeds, and who require a very different set of behaviours if you wish to win favour with them.
