Everyone's favorite subject

Howdy All,

I've been thinking, Now that I explained a little bit about the nuances within Fable 3, I wanted to talk about how not every decision is a world changing one, and I felt it appropriate to start with one of the more semi-comedic aspects of Fable 3. How relationships work in Fable. To begin with, the game reacts appropriately to the sex of the Hero, with either sex having a slightly different opening storyline, now at the beginning of the game, the main character has a love interest who is the opposite sex, but don't let that tinge your view on the game's image of relationships and marriage. This is only one of your options within this game.

The game itself leaves the sexual orientation of your character up to the player, so it doesn't matter if your character is straight, gay, or somewhere inbetween. Fable 3 itself makes relationships within the game comedic and cute at the same time and allows the players a closer tie to the game itself. Marriage is the same way, there's even an achievement for doing certain things within marriage. One of which is called Henry VIII, in where you marry six times and kill two of your wives.
Now this is kind of a history joke, it deals with King Henry VIII of England who outside of starting the Church of England had also married six times and killed two of his wives for adultery. Not a friendly fellow, I'd have to say.
