Seeing all the good comments on Fable II I am going to borrow it from somewhere (Anywhere! Argh!) today and try it out. Can anyone compare it too a game? What sort of gameplay is it like? I only just got a 360 after years of PC so I don't know these console games.
Reading online non-professional reviews is always a good idea before buying a game blindly. Case in point: Far Cry 2.

Think of Fable II as a third-person Oblivion where the dog is the only developed character in the game, your first companion is an American woman who loves drinking and hitting people (who doesn't?), the only black guy in the entire game is imprisoned, and the best thing about the game is wenching and murdering while slowly becoming more and more like Scrooge McDuck in your quest to build a real-estate empire.
