how can he be lying? if you play the game while on live they can see everything you doing...so i dont see would he could be lying

I don't like making decisions for the benefit of "being good" or "being bad". I just make the decisions I'd make, and let the game tell me what it thinks.

It's actually much more dynamic that way. It's interesting to see where I end up at the end of the game. Generally it's on the good side, like Peter Molyneux said, but it's not necessarily on purpose.

Incedentely everyone I know who played Fable was evil...

With trophies everyone will play through both though, just like in Fallout 3.

I like to either play the gray area or be a d**k when playing these games of choice. The second time around i usually play as a good guy. I don't know why i usually play in the gray area or as a evil guy. I just kind of like to see what's permitted and what isn't. Like denying a starving sick kid a chocolate bar in Deus Ex even though you have one and don't need it. Then killing him. I had no idea you could actually do that but i was shocked when it actually let me do such a thing.

Well for me personally, if I'm given the choice to be either good or evil in a game, 80% of the time I do good deeds and I may sprinkle a little evilness in here and there, and that's exactly how I played Fallout 3 for the first time. The majority of the time I would do things to get my Karma up in Fallout 3, but when I was low on Food or Supplies I would Steal supplies from someone else in the game world.

When it comes to making decisions in a game, pretty much I make the decision that I would make in real life if I was in the same situation.

During my first playthrough of InFamous, It'll be identical to my first Fallout 3 playthrough, but for my second playthrough, I'll be Evil and see how it affects the game.

besides being super glitchy with the dog flying everywhere on the screen,where was the dynamic weather system?where was the season change?It rains in one place the entire game.the family system has no deapth.my kid walked into a field and because of a glitch just stayed there motionless.My other kid dissapeared,the whole cot dissapeared.I had to restart the game when the 'A' button got stuck on screen,and they released a patch for it only just now.we were lied to with 'decisive' words from Peter about online multiplayer THAT WAS such a terrible lie,I mean. .he never said we couldnt take our own character online? He kept saying , 'take your hero online' ,when he didnt tell us there were ugly PRE MADE heros! This whole Fable 2 feels like it needed another 6 months more dev time. And,to top it off,the story is half assed and it ends to abruptly.He had a great concept,This Peter. .always proving,he has way more ambition in speaking,than the talent he was given to fullfill any expectation.

You should play through the game with good karma first sense it'll be harder. Second playthroughs are generally just for fun so thats the time to go bad karma.

I usually try playing Evil, then i will start feeling sad for the characters, and try go good.

but in this case, the red lightning is too cool to pass up.

This guy is a bundle of sticks.

I guess Molineux checked every player that played Fable 2. I have to admit that i was in the good side too tho, too bad that the game is hugely boring and i've lost the interest in it after 1 week and traded it for something else, much better (if Infamous was out, i would be happy to trade F2 for it for example).

To be fair when I play an RPG i find the good path offers way more benefits, so I usually go good.

This is a sad truth indeed. I really love playing evil in games but almost everyone I know always goes for the good path. Heck, none of the gamers I play with have tried the evil path in original Fable (One did try it in Fable 2 though).
Evil path in games FTW! Hopefully InFamous' evil character can be really evil and fun.

Fable 2 MP sounds crappy, infamous from the latest vids is looking like its gonna be pretty great, I like the idea of more xp from an evil character resuscitating someone.

too nice in real life so i have to compensate :-)

I always choose evil but it's kinda true . Look at any mmo usually , when you look at cold hard stats , people mostly pick the good/ or deemed good side .

the problem with the whole good/evil arguement is that its very rare for there to be any real incentive to be evil. Usually you have the choice of being good or "Grr me thug, you give money".

The fallout series imo has always had a great take on it. Being evil is easier and gives you rewards, wheras actually doing the right thing is more difficult. Take F3 one quest involved going round to various parts of the map and was pretty long. However you could lie to the questgiver and get exactly the same rewards for zero effort.

If you want me to be evil give me a real choice. Hell while i didnt like ME as it was far too easy the story was great. Sone of the options did make you think a bit, and the ending option was awesome. I also liked the ability to choose the ending, regardless of your previous choices.

POint im trying tomake is the evil path is never well done enough for me to enjoy it. Writers get off your asses and write a deent path rather than tacing it on as an after thought. So often being evil hardly has any change on the story. Why bother being evil if you still end up saving the world. IM F***ing EVIL. I dont want to kill the bad guy, i want to take him down and then use his power to start my own reign of terror

The article was how Fleming at first didn't believe Molyneux was saying about playing the good guy.

But after play-testing the game they found that gamers either went all good or all bad. With more players playing good and then afterwards playing the game again as evil.

I err on the side of 'good'. Back in JEDI KNIGHT, I spared the civilians and went over to the light side. I always like to play medics and feel good healing people, and for INFAMOUS I reckon I'll be continuing my benign trend.

for that time. Fable 2 did not succeed on that it was god-aweful. Not being able to die, poor magic system (also no new magic spells), Infinite ammo?, EXTREMELY short campaign, lame side quests, not on par to today's standard of graphics, and just an overall lame experience. Fable 2 was one of the reasons I bought a 360, sadly it turned out it was not what I was hoping for at all.

Now Infamous is a different story, every ps3 exclusive I've played, I've enjoyed very much, aside from Haze which I have not played. I KNOW I'll love this new franchise too.

When a game offer several choices, i always play the game several times.
I've started Flabe 2 being an evil woman, then found a sex changing potion so i became a man but my save messed up, so i redone the game being an angelic man.

In Bioshock, i started by killing the sisters, then i redone it by saving them. With Mass Effect i started a soldier career, then a semi-tech, semi-power, semi-soldier career and a power-only career. In Hitman series, i started making the game as i wished then i redone the game without killig anybody and without getting caught any time. Same for Metal Gear Solid series, etc...

I think people tend to choose the easier way to finish a game, and when you have the choice to be evil or good, you tend to prefer being evil, because it's much more fun to kill, extort, fear people, than doing nothing but giving presents and lowering prices.

Whereas i was a rich evil in Fable 2 because i bought every house and rose the price at +100%, it became harder being nice, because you have to lower prices, give presents, etc... But i still consider Fable 2 incomplete, there is much things missing.

I find it hard to be a good guy in those types of games,

Fable 2-couldn't be nice
Fallout 3-always ended up needed to kill everything that moved
Mass Effect- much funner being bad
KOTOR- def better evil
Oblivion- way funner to massacre the towns

I dunno, the way there made doing good seems tedious, whereas being evil is instant gratification lol. So "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" :)

I personnaly prefer to play as a good guy... it's weird, but being evil makes me feel uncomfortable, even in a game (in another way, it's awesome that a game can make me feel such things). For example, I was just unable to kill the Little Sisters in Bioshock.

Anyway, I think it's great when games allow the player to be good, evil or anything else he wants to be ! Unfotunately, games designed to really let the player chose if he wants to act like a good samaritan or a true bastard, are quite unusual

I would create Prototype 3 before this great gem of a game
but yes love to see it continue !

A new Infamous being produced in this current agenda stricken videogame climate would probably just be a disaster.
