Following our last successful edition of 10 Questions featuring Insomniac Games' Ted Price, we are now pleased to introduce our next participant: Peter Molyneux of Lionhead Studios (which joined the Microsoft Game Studios fold in 2006).
Many of you are familiar with Molyneux as one of the true pioneers in the video game industry. He's built so-called "god games" such as Populous and Black & White, and in more recent years he's been focusing on the new RPG franchise Fable. The original Fable sold over two million copies and was the fastest selling title for the platform at the time. Fable 2 is due out this October exclusively for Xbox 360.
Molyneux himself has been inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' (AIAS) Hall of Fame, joining the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto, Sid Meier, John Carmack, Richard Garriott, Will Wright and other luminaries. He also was honored in the U.K. with an OBE.
So with that background, we now turn it over to you. This is your opportunity to ask Peter Molyneux about Fable 2, his career, hobbies, favorite games, state of development or anything else.
Thanks to all who participated! The first part of the Peter Molyneux Q&A can be read here and the second part can be read here.

OK so me and my boyfriend just got the game yesterday and were wondering if it is possible for both of us to have our own hero's or do we have wait for one to finish with their hero and then the other one start theirs? With the first fable we both had our own hero's in a seperate folders but with fable two it didn't even ask to make one but you can continue or start new so can you have two hero's doing their own adventures?
