Fable 2 Is PETA's Game of the Year

[Zallest]

I wonder if they got to the part where the Dog dies and you have a choice to NOT SAVE HIM! (I didn't)

However, they do miss the fact that the programmers weren't trying to make it so being good was the best option. It was only 50% of the options laid out to you. You don't have to listen to society's standards. Oh, and despite punishing your dog, he was pretty much completely loyal. And the player themselves couldn't even kill him, so it wasn't like they allowed you the option of mistreating animals. I don't think Lionhead included the veggie = good slant because they believe that vegetarians are better people than the rest of us, but because society generally views vegetarians as hoighty-toighty (what;s the correct spelling for that?) do-gooders who have increased empathy for the animals we all assume are food.

Yes. My point exactly.

my character never eats food (except for the 5 "crunchy cicks" required for access to the shadow-nutter hq place becuase i needed access to the silver key and gargoyles) i rarely let enimies get in close and even if they do i have a large stockpile of health and rez potions

Dog Fighter 3: Bitedown didn't peak their interest?

 

[Neosage]

Well I am going to go on fable just so I can become pure evil now.

Hitler was neither christian or atheist. He believed in the occult. This is my favorite part: he believed that the "True Aryan" race were descendents of Atlantians who escaped before Atlantis sunk and were living in the Himilayas. He sent many SS troops to search for them, so he could create the ultimate race by breeding Germans with the Atlantians.

You're right history is fun!

I loves me some Nazi Occultism, but this is so very off topic... hmmmmm.

 

[Seydaman]

In my opinion, they have no right to tell us what is right for animals, Lord knows they have enough controversy chasing them around, what with them funding terrorist groups and killing animals in their shelters

what, i knew peta was crazy but. wow they just got more crazy points.
and the food made sense, you eat healthy foods you lose weight(combined with execise but being a hero you get plenty of that) and eating lots of pie and meat ect you gain weight, this wasn't "animal friendly" it was common sense

 

[Keane Ng]

Oh yeah. You can also kick chickens and shoot rabbits. Forgot about that. The Chicken Punter!

i think that is why they had the morality and corruption bar. being corrupt (in my head)means being drunk with power and falling prey to desires(with the exception of sex).

 

[Rajin Cajun]

Hitler was a Vegetarian! I rest my case PETA is Satan Incarnate. I WIN!

 

[Not Lord Atkin]

And yet you can kill innocent bees, bugs, hobbits and different creatures
Well they DO try to ri your skull out of your throat, but they are still animals.
AND YOU KICK CHICKEN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! (or at least in the frst game you do, did they remove the minigame?)

 

[Neosage]

No you get an achievment for it.

 

[Clemenstation]

Oh you still kick chickens. Oh my, yes.

Also, as others have mentioned, the game FIRMLY REQUESTS that you shoot an innocent bunny rabbit in the head at least once.

And eat crunchy chicks.

And kill all manner of innocent buggies. They're part of God's world too!

On the topic of good/evil and vegitarianism... there are a lot of arguements about whether Hitler was a christian or an atheist but one thing is fact...

He was a strict Teatoataler and Vegitarian.

See kids, History is fun!

Holy crap, are you serious? I knew Hitler was crazy, but there's gotta be a limit.

 

[IceStar100]

I really wish the Escapist wouldn't give these guys attention, they don't deserve it.

But there so much fun. It like they wear a target that saids make fun of me. Plus they get Cleb to take off there clothes.

Dog Fighter 3: Bitedown didn't peak their interest?

It's because Michael Vick wasn't included as a player character.

 

[stompy]

Did PETA actually play this game, or just completly give it the barest glance?

I'm assuming the latter, because this is PETA we're talking about.

(WARNING: in extreme cases vegetarianism may result in genocide).

Ah crap... ah well, there's nothing left for me to do except commit genocide.
