Fable 2

[Cyros]

Pretty sure at this point I'm going to use money from my scholarship change check to buy this game. Fable 2 is my can't miss game of the fall (sorry Gears 2, but I'll have to parlay with the relatives come christmas time).

[goh]

I hope there's some decent ammount of control over it. Random characters never end up well. I hate playing with characters that aren't,I'll say,stylish. I also don't want to have to restart the game 20 times untill I get a character I like cause I ate a pie wrong or didn't do enough dances or something like that.

Speaking of stuff I don't like,any info on the dog? Like are you forced to have it? Can you just not have it? I know if you have it it can't die,even if it's beaten up it'll follow you so you can't get rid of it if you have it but I don't want it.

Yes you are forced to have it. And through the power of storytelling you will grow to love your dog. If by the mid-point of the game, you still don't love your dog, than you are incapable of love

It's a story of love, and probably ...wait for it... loss.

Well in that case hopefully the loss part comes quick. I'm sure I won't love the dog. I've rather hated other videogame dogs.

As much as I've tried to overlook it, and as absurd as it may seem, being forced to have the dog travel around with me has totally crushed my enthusiasm for this game.

What other games have had dogs that help you?

[goh]

None technically
Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose tried,didn't really go so well.

Gamesradar just did a thing on dog assistants actually (neither of those games mentioned): http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-top-...82817449647065

I don't see how anybody could not like the inclusion of the dog, let alone be worried that it may be some kind of hindrance in anyway. Lionhead knows AI. The AI for the players creature in Black & White is brilliant, and everything learned from that is being applied to the dog in Fable 2, and it clearly shows in videos.
