Fable 2: Electric Boogaloo
I have a horrible confession to make, friends. Gather round and try to disguise your disgust as I lay bare my indiscretions. You see when Fable was originally released there was nothing on heaven or earth that could have dissuaded my disgustingly infantile fanboyism. The game was to be a reckoning on par with the resurrection of Christ… and then such horrible disappointment followed. I played through to the last boss in about 4 hours and disgustedly threw down my controller, like many of my fellow game loving zealots I felt I had been duped. Where was my epic tale requiring days of my time glued to the couch? Why could I finish this game in 4 hours? I simply refused to finish the game, a silent protest garnering only my own aggravation.
With more and more news of Fable 2 coming it was with some trepidation I began re-greasing the wheels of my anticipation machine. A canine companion for our hero (or villain if you're anything like me)? It could work, although I will undoubtedly end raising the thing as a vicious snarling beast. But today the release of some new character art has rekindled my Fable flame of excitement.
Hit das jump for fantastic female character art.
This first is easily my favorite, the hefty, corset clad, wall-eyed prostitute reminds me of my days swilling red wine in dim clubs full of my spooky compatriots.
Ahh the milkmaid, de-flowerer of innocent farm boys and embodiment of a coyly innocent mask only subtly betraying the nymphet hidden beneath.
The water bearing gypsy, while not as lovingly rendered as either the milkmaid or dominatrix, holds a special coin-belt jingling place in my heart.
