Peter Molyneux on Fable II: “I’d rate it a 9 out of 10″
Lionhead mastermind Peter Molyneux has stated that Fable II is “the best, most complete game I’ve ever worked on,” just as the RPG is about to go gold.
Molyneux states that “the same mistakes I made in the past,” with the second Fable game.
“Black & White, The Movies, Dungeon Keeper, pretty much every game I’ve ever done has had interesting features thrown in to the pot without worrying what the flavour was like,” he said.
“I’d rate it a 9 out of 10,” Molyneux added, when asked if he’d fulfilled his original vision with Fable II.
“It’s the best, most complete game I’ve ever worked on. The look is perfect, the interface is fantastic. It’s a role-playing game, but where are all the f***ing icons? Aren’t you supposed to be cluttering the screen up with mini-maps and the like? Not us.
“RPGs are one of the most complex game types there are,” added Molyneux. “But for me, the idea of being who I want to be and my character being different to yours, well, I think is one of the coolest genres of game.”
So is it a nine out of ten? We hope so and will see if it is when Fable II releases October 24th, 2008.
