Fable 2 paints a portrait

We still haven't seen any in-game wondrous sights from Fable 2, the upcoming Xbox 360 RPG sequel, but these new pieces of concept art show the slightly more m🔯ature look it's going for.

Set centuries after the original game, the whole world has moved on into a more swashbuckling, blunderbuss-wielding era. But having learned his lesson from hyping up the original Fable 's amazing list of features, designer Peter ꧑Molyneux is keeping his lips almost firmly sealed on🌱 the sequel.

One confirmed improvement is that you'll be able to play a female character, unlike🏅 the first game. Well, you could wear a frilly dress but it just wasn't the same.

And check out the pirate-looking type in the pic above - we'll join Molyneux in resisting the urge to shout about sailing in Fable 2.
