Your Dog – Fable 2
As the sequel to the hugely popular RPG known as Fable, Fable 2 had a lot riding on it, especially given that it’s Designer, Peter Molyneux just can’t seem to help himself when it comes to bragging about how great his latest game is. Luckily, Fable 2 turned out to be a great RPG full of classic British humor, a charming world to explore, and great voice actors such as Stephen Fry.
Fable 2 featured many new additions and improvements over the original game, including the gameplay feature which gave your hero a dog to accompany you on your adventures. Players were free to interact with their pooch as much as they liked and the stronger your bond became, the more you could do.
The first thing you did was name your trusty companion and of course he or she would bravely fight alongside you. The fun didn’t end here however, players could perform interactions with their dog that could effect how NPC’s perceived you. Having your dog play dead would delight those around you, whilst having him pee on their leg would make them pretty annoyed. As an RPG, Fable is known for having an excellent sense of humor and adding a canine to the mix was a great way to add a new element of comedy in a Shaggy and Scooby sort of way.
Over the course of your epic adventure, you may have found yourself getting very attached to your four legged friend and at the end you were forced to make a very difficult choice. Lets just say I knew who to save every time.
