The coolest RPG I've seen previews for looks to be Fable (aka Project Ego) for the XBox. It seems like a truly innovative game, except for not having a female main character. But an open ended rpg with full character customization depending on your actions and environment, that could be a whole new direction right there. Snap! I have no XBox. And probably still won't when the freakin thing finally comes out.</div>

Well I meant that was the only bad point, and that the game was innovative. if you spend all night sneakin around pickin flowers you might turn into a gothic lookin pale fucker that squints in the sun and cant hold a sword up right. if you become a big buff warrior, that does all these nice things for people kids will run around the street dressed like you and all that. or if your this bad ass evil character, the bandit crowd will accept you and you can take over a gang, ect.. but it wont be like baldurs gate or icewind dale, coz those games basically linear plots, normal rpg, except for customizing your party it doesnt really change much... yeah... it might be more like the fallout series now that i think about it...

shit its gotta be better than baldurs gate for the ps2, that game was a waste, as if they tried to rush through the damn thing makin it, however i kept playing it coz i was addicted to the sound of the weapons cuttin into the monsters... this extremely satisfying "KRUNK"y "PLOP" kinda noise... mmmm...</div>

<div style='font: bold 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>...all the bells and whistles (read: graphics, sound, concept) seem awesome, but it will all come down to how it plays. I love customization and making a character my own, and combining that with a completely non-linear game is a great idea. It could also be horrible if the meat of it, the combat and exploration, is sub-par. I've been looking forward to this one for awhile now and I have faith that if anyone can pull it off its Peter Molyneux, but we'll see.</div>

<div style='font: bold 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Not really...it's not team based...almost more of a life-sim where you take a single character from childhood to death...everything in-between is up to you...good or bad, hero, anti-hero, or family man/farmer, supposed to be extremely open ended...</div>
