Fable 2 dialogue: 370,000 words recorded - That's around 38 hours of spoken word

Impressive. And Peter Molyneux has kept his mouth shut, so I am expecting this to be awesome.

Oblivion had over 50 hours of recorded dialogue so its not unheard of. Anyways looking forward to seeing the game in action more and hopefully they can pull it off with every intention they set out to do this time!

And yet it all sounded the same. Yahtzee's opinion of Oblivion's characters is quite right imho, where you have the same voice actor talking to himself over and over again saying nothing more than 2-3 canned lines.

Fun part with fable is that you'll end up not hearing most of it without several play throughs with the way the world is dynamic to your actions. Not to mention it'll have a lot of character.

the only thing that was bad about oblivion was it seemed as though they had 10 different voice actors for 60 different npcs.

impressive, but I bet fallout 3 will have more. I wish Fable was coming PS3! pretty much the only game I want on the 360.

The lack of variety of voices in Oblivion was ok. One of the things that really annoyed me was that the lines that for the most part the voice work in Oblivion sounded very un-exciting although that was probably the result of having 2 voice actors reading lines for 5 weeks without sleep.

@hazeblaze - someone seems grumpy because they named themselves after a lackluster game. ;)

This game will obviously have different endings, it's not like you will be listening to all 38 hours of dialogue in one playthrough.

these words might be redundant...and where does MGS fit in here? You still hurt from Cliffy b's blown out of portportion and out of context statement?

Besides the characters you speak to and is in your party. Through out rpg's, there is a lot of dialog that is written for almost everything breathing thing on the screen. Sometimes...it's a sigh:::, it doesn't matter, in most RPG's almost everyone has something to say.

Speaking to the right person can get you some good info on secrets, money/gold, and side quests..

Isaac - "Xbox fanboys that lashed on Metal Gear Solid for being "passive entertainment" should be dissing fable 2 too."

How you compare Fable to MGS4? you kidding me? WTF does MGS come into this? Things in MGS do not age over time.. and I think Cliffy B's statement was right on point, not many EPIC tales being made anymore. Today there is a lot of fast cash games coming out.

Fable 2 only has a few minutes of cutscenes.

Everything else is completely interactive. You can talk back, swear, make rude gestures, ignore them or chop their head off.

A truly next-gen way of progressing the story without hindering gameplay.

Kojima should pucker up and kiss Peter Molyneux's ass.

Do you have an Xbox360? If so, great, you will probably get to play Fable 2 and answer your own questions. If not, what are you doing here?

think about it like this.

billy west does the voice of:
futurama - fry, zoidberg, farnsworth, nixon, zapp brannigan. (additional characters)
Nickelodeon - both ren, stimpy(additional characters)
warner bros - daffy duck, bugs bunny, elmer fud. (additional characters)
the oblongs - george klimer, anita bidet. (additional characters)
commercials - honeynut cheerio bee, the red M&m, Babe ruth/bruce lee (nestly ice tea).

thats only one voice actor and thats not even everything he does. On the howerd stern show he does 34 different voice and impersinations of celebrities. So those 200 speking roles can sound completely different every time if you want.

I didn't own the original xbox, so I didn't play it either. It got an 85% review average, so I'd say that's pretty good. I might pick up the sequel, other than mass effect its been a while since a good rpg has come out.

yeah i know... but people complained about the dialogue in MGS4 too

not that i think this is necessarily a bad thing... just that this dwarfs MGS4 dialogue count

Instead of just clicking "disagree", why not actually tell me where I'm wrong?

The game promised to be open.
But it turned out linear.
The game promised to be long.
But it turned out short.
The game promised to be epic.
But it turned out ordinary.
The game promised to be full of choices.
But it turned out to have few.

Look, "FABLE" was charming, fun, entertaining and little different, I'm not saying otherwise, but anyone who's honest with themselves would have to admit that the game didn't turn out to be what was promised.

That doesn't make it "bad", but it does keep me from being 100% convinced this time around.

You're dead on. Fallout 3 will crush this game. Fable 2 need an edge. It would help if its a mature game because all the features that this game sport is no longer unique and it's world is too generic fantasty.

You're not a hardcore fan. But this isn't an JRPG(not that I'm saying MGS4 is either). We will here the dialogue while actually playing the game, not cinematics that go on forever.
