Fable 2 Has The Best Tree Monster Ever
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 10:40 AM on June 14, 2008
Lionhead hasn't made much noise about the tree beasts that inhabit the world of Fable 2—at least not that we've noticed—as the developers seem to be focusing more on choices and consequences, pets and acorns. Epic stories and working family structures are great bullet points, but give us a nasty tree golem or benign but menacing looking treant and we're pretty much satisfied.
A smattering of new Fable 2 media joins that woodsy monster pic.

Epic open-ended hero-fantasy or short linear action RPG with some trimmings? Not even nicely rendered tree monsters can save this game from its inevitable fate.

I thought Evil Dead had the best monster tree ever, actually.

I never got into the first Fable. It didn't wet my whistle any.
Maybe this one will be different, let's hope.

Interesting... Haven't been to hyped yet for Fable 2, but enjoyed the first one.

You know, I really cant wait for this to come out. One of the few RPG-ish games my wife really got into with me was fable 1.
