In a recent interview at Wired, Lionhead founder Peter Molyneux took delight in revealing how he’s going to cut gamers’ faces.
That’s right — Peter Molyneux is going to cut you up.
Specifically, there is going to be a key moment in Fable 2 where you will actually have to prove that you’re a good guy.
