Now, you people may be wondering why I'm insulting what could be the best game ever...In fact, I'm not, I'm damned surprised that a game company has gone to innovate the gaming indrusty to allow for a bit of equality. This may be the last biggest thing since finding out that Samus had boobies and not a winky.

"RUMOR #5: Fable's story line will allow for gay marriage.

Source: A brief mention in the Lionhead Times, the official newsletter of the Xbox RPG's developer.

The official story: "Gay marriage hasn't been dropped."--LHT article.

What we heard: Besides saying the mammoth RPG will have four different endings, include 22,000 lines of dialogue, and sport soccer games with severed heads, the LHT article mentions the gay-marriage option has been retained. That's right, gay marriage. A quick explanation: Since Fable follows a character from cradle to the grave, marriage has always been one aspect of the epic RPG. Apparently Peter Molyneux and the rest of the Lionhead crew thought it would add depth to allow for same-sex coupling--although it's unclear how, er, explicit martial relations will be depicted in the M-rated game. There's also a chance that it might not make it into the final version. "In these final stages the team has to make difficult decisions about certain features and if certain bits are left in as they are or completely cancelled," said the LHT article.

Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus--unless the Lionhead guys are having a laugh with an election-year, hot-potato issue. "

Haha, I can't tell my homophobic friend who has just been dying to play this game.

Anyway, I think it's cool that they're taking a risk such as this. Hell, this game is going to own no matter what they do at this point.

And? That's have been possible in the sims for year.

Well, ok not marriage...

And it's just a choice people make, none forces the player to marry a male. (well I can think that Legion forces his homophobic friend...)

I'd say "Not bogus until the ESRB threatens slapping an AO rating on Fable - then it becomes bogus."

Should be interesting... hopefully the wackos don't come out of the woodwork on this one.

Well, they can't drop the AO bomb on it just for marrige. If it's already M, then why would getting engaged put it over the edge?

Thats actually a good idea...

Some chisitian group will make it a huge controversey, so people in support of Gay Marriage will buy it to show support, even if they weerent thinking of buying the game before...

Damn, this game is going to be sweet. Such freedom and openendedness in a game... and it's going to come out just in time to totally fuck over my schoolwork.

Oh well.

And me without an Xbox, I remember hearing about this game when it was called Project Ego, a friend of mine was obsessing over it.

Hope Lionhead does the right thing and makes a PC version, if they already announced one and I'm desperately out of the loop gaming news wise, can someone please clear that up? I'd love to try it out, it'd be like Morrowind, only, you know, with a reason to exist.

I totally don't mind the fact they're implementing this, it actually adds to the reality factor a lot, wich I like.

It says that it allows you interact with your 'wife' and such...In many ways.

I'm going to be an abusive husband, then leave my wife for a man, then beat the crap out of him. I wonder if I can do that...

Having Gay marriage in Fable is a really bad idea.

Think about this intellectually.
Chances are, many younger kids are gonna be playing this game, and alot of little kids don't think of dating and that stuff, so their not gonna be all flirty with the girls in the game, but instead might talk with the guys more and be friendly with them in the game. Now that could result in the kids character becoming gay and getting married to a guy, and that kid may see things he shouldn't see, and that may have an impact on the way the kid views relationships later in life, possibly resulting in the poor kid to become gay.

Now whether you find being gay fascinating or not, you should understand what I mean.
