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.

What are you guys talking about? I picked up my copy of Fable 2 when it was released, 9 YEARS AGO. Release Date 11/30/1999 Great game, and then everyone dies. The end.
how long will the story line take to complete?? oh and by the way the date on my screen says 11/30/1999...i cant wait for the game!!
Im just on here to i have a 7 k computer i built from the ground up and dont want a 360 microsoft sucks and i bought a ps3 for oblivion because theres more options but i dont like sony either i guess im screwed my question is any chance for a pc version of FABLE 2 i really hope so and peter man your my hero ive created a game or two but i suck im getting the first map of albion on my back well later
Q4. i think in fable 3 that the bandits wont attack u if ur evil u should be able to join up with them and go in to a city a go on a rampage because the thing i didnt like in fable is that if there evil and ur evil u should be friends and join up with them so that all i need to say cant wait for fable 2
hey in fable2 i heard that the way u play ur character like good and evil it starts to show the effect of it wen ur aolt older in the game and i hope that the story is aswome i love fable and fable 2 cant wait but.Q2 if ur good and u find ur wife in bowerstone (witch looks awsome by the way) does it effect ur family like wen ur son is older an he be a hero to or does he grow up good not evil or if u go to the evil town i forget the name but if u marry there a evil women can ur kid grow up evil and caruppted like u.Q3 in fable 2 can u play on after the story line like in fable but im glad that fable 2 is finished and its coming out in october.
Hi, my question is why is it only on Xbox 360 ?, im a pc gamer and loved falbe 1 on pc. i did not even know it was on Xbox till fable 2 was all over youtube =P, but anyways im going to buy a 360 just for fable hope i can find other games i like on it haha
what is peter Molyneux gamertag for xbox live?
fable 2 loooks awsome oh and what is your gamertag? ill addd you to play fable 2
what kikoriso said + a small fact to notice would be that lionhead is owned by microsoft... so is xbox... omg what a surprise!
blitzcannon... Your comment is completely wrong.. Just so ya know =] While people are starting to buy ps3s, it's still nothing compared to how many people own a 360. Not only that, but blu-ray and all that really isn't that amazing. The game already looks beautiful, and from all the games I've seen, there's little difference between the 360 and the ps3 graphics-wise. Releasing on the 360 only is actually a really smart idea. They're not screwing the company over at all. So Congratulations to Lionhead and everyone else who helped make such an amazing game =]
