Basically, in Monster hunter, you get normal quests, but there are also guild quests, which you can choose to do offline or online.

Hmm. I guess. But where would you get all the monsters from?

It'd be interesting if you could marry another player. Although the kid thing would be weird.

Edit: After rewatching the trailer, I get the monster part.

Re: Will Fable 2 have Xbox live

Well Lionhead were advertising for a programmer with "experience in multiplayer gameplay" the job has since been filled so the advert obviously isn't on their site anymore. This is a bit of a hint towards Xbox Live! gameplay, don't you think?
I'm hoping for an Arena style battle, one on ones and maybe a few co-op quests. I don't want anyone wandering around my Albion though, ruining the my towns and villages.

I was trying to find the exact wording that Lionhead used to advertise the job. I'll post it when the other Fable 2 forum comes back online. I'm suprised you guys didn't already know about this. It could be for another game Lionhead have in the works but chances are, it's for Fable 2.

There is a good bit of coding in TLC on online play From COOP heroes that you can find in Fable Explorer(there are four of them) to Live aware in the credits.


PM said that the online feature was VERY important. I think we can bank on there being one but what form it will take is a mystery.

Re: Will Fable 2 have Xbox live

Well if fable 2 is able to play xbox live i hope its like a mmo but with fable"s style. It would be awsome killing npcs with my freinds or killing other players tradeing with them. I hope fable 2 will be able to go on xbox live.

Re: Will Fable 2 have Xbox live

Oh god no! A mmo wouldn't suit Fable. To have that style in a mmo would be quite good. But Fable is all about the game being what you make it, no what a million other people make it. I think that it should be very strict and not allow another player too much freedom in your Albion. Maybe a separate quest line for co-op and the arena thing. IMO, there shouldn't be anymore than that.

I agree, also if it was to be an mmo it would cost additional money to run the servers making people pay monthly. I think the game would be fun with co-op and arena versing other players, or you could team up with players to arena monsters.

Yeah id have to agree Fable being turned in a MMO would be a big no no but wouldnt happen anyway and i have faith in Peter Molyneux, he knows what hes doing. I would like some form of online option or co-op style mode but unsure how they could incorporate it to everyones liking. I would also like downloadable content like they have started to do with more and more games these days.

Re: Will Fable 2 have Xbox live

Found it! I found my original post from when I found the job posting. Unfortunately the link on it doesn't work but it does have the exact wording that Lionhead used.

Do I want online play? Well I don't think it matters because it's gonna be in the game, check this out.
