Prostitutes walk the streets, Evil temples have poker nights, and Transvestites are killed for the good of Albion, the world is full of sheer minute details which enrich the experience greatly. However, the way it is strung together, and the little touches give it a unique personality and style, with characters having so much more depth to them (Theresa has a lot of hidden depth that is not explored, many hints that leave us, the audience, to work out things for ourselves) and the whole world being a very clever, dark, twist on the normal fantasy world. The plot itself is suitably epic, but overall it is not very interesting, and extremely predictable. Under the guide of Theresa, you set out to gather the other heroes, and stop the evil threatening Albion. At the end of the childhood phase, things don't go too well, and as one of the four Heroes in the world, you set out to get revenge. The two main characters that you get to know in the games intro are Theresa and Lucien, the former being a blind seeress who leads you through the game, and the Latter another mysterious being who is in mourning of his family. The starting missions introduce you to the moral choices you'll have to make in the game, the combat mechanics, and the interesting cast of unique and wacky characters that the game has. In this, as in the Childhood sequence from the original Fable, you need to do odd jobs to get some gold. The Game begins with you choosing to be either a Male or Female orphan and you are thrown straight into a brief exposition/tutorial sequence. However, when you get a little closer, as with any grand construction, the cracks begin to show. Its scope is rather enormous, and with a quick glance, Fable II looks like a grand palace of a video game.
