Fable II expands on the first game in pretty much every way and the game oozes simplistic fun. Granted this sequel is not leaps and bounds better than the first, but it is better and I recommend it to any action RPG fan.
Still it's not all gravy and Mike has some valid complaints. The inventory system is annoying for the reason Mike mentioned plus it always hangs for a split second or two when moving between sub-menus.
About the renown issues, I've never run into a point where I had to "flex and fart" to get enough renown for a quest. I always had side quests open I could do.
The golden line can't be turned off that I know of, but it can be focused on a different quest so it's not pointing toward your target 24-7. Likewise the dog is there till the end too (PM wanted the dog to be a main focus after all). There are other minor glitches in the game that Lionhead knows about and is working on a patch for. Still with all the little issues the game has, I enjoyed the game enough to say I'm happy I bought it instead of renting.
I've completed the main storyline once and I do plan to do it again as evil. However, Fallout III is Tuesday so I think my second run will be postponed for a while.
