Fable 2 Afterthoughts

I never beat the first Fable. Played it. Didn't get far. Beat the hell out of Fable 2. Watched the credits and then kept playing. Bought the ten dollar DLC even. Yet, I don't love the game. Like it a lot. Feel frustrated by a lot. Even hate some. Think it's a good game, but one with problems. It's a game that makes me want to power my way through it. I'm driven when playing it. I follow that bread crumb trail until the quest is done and I barely veer off course. I like that it's an easy RPG, something more like Zelda than Final Fantasy, but man is that combat a bit too button mashy. It's like Dynasty Warriors with levels. And so very British, the spelling, the humor. It's not the revelation Molyneux would want. And while I liked the dog a lot I didn't really want to spend my time having babies and wooing people. I wanted to fight and that's what I did. It's not the deep game it wants to be. It's just fun.
