The official Lionhead forums have exploded into an Internet drama with unhappy fans of Fable II's co-op mode shouting in rage at staff. To make matters worse, a Lionhead staff member posted a picture of handbags which further enraged the community.
The main issue players have with Fable II is how poorly executed the co-op is. As it stands, you can't use your own created character and you can't take any earned items back into your single player game.
Inclusive and often thought-provoking, this is a daring portrait of a game-world with all the failure cut out, and it's hard not to love a game that loves you so much in return. Fable II will charm you, thrill you, and leave you very, very happy.
Lionhead announced today that the Fable 2 online co-op patch is locked and loaded on its end for day one of release -- now the developer just needs to get through Microsoft certification. This means when gamers try to enter Albion for the first time in their respective regions (beginning with North America October 21st), there should be a patch happily waiting to be downloaded.
