Fable Interview

ComputerAndVideoGames.com was able to track down Lionhead Studios’ Peter Molyneux for a quick interview about the upcoming Xbox RPG, Fable. An excerpt to follow:

Q: Xbox Live gives you the ability to add additional content into Fable. Is that something you’ve looked at?

A: We would really consider doing that, and actually we’ve already started planning about some of the things we could add. Whether that’s a reality or not, I’m not sure.

I mean Fable is Live-aware and there’s a feature which I’m not sure if it made it in actually. Up to three weeks ago it was in, but if you’re Xbox connected, the names of the people in the towns were the names of your buddies.

And if you killed or married or insulted those people in the game, they’d be sent a message saying for example “You’ve been killed in Fable”. It was a nice little gimmick, but it’s one of those features when you get to the end, you’ve got to sacrifice a few little things like that.
