Multiple Heroes per gamertag.

yay the expense is over!

This was an interview between PM and and Game On.

GO: One of the things you can't help but notice right away is that you can save anywhere, but you can't reload from within the game itself. You have to actually quit and restart if you want to reload, which is, clearly it's a design decision to say "We want you to live with the consequences of your actions."

PM: Yes, that's absolutely right, and in fact, I mean it was trivially simple for us to do a multi-slotted save and load system, and this is one of the debates, because a lot of the time, you know, when you're designing games you kind of say "This is what we're going to do," and you stick a flag out there, and hopefully if you're convincing enough, people will follow it. At other times, you put an idea on the table and you discuss it. This was one of those discussion ones, and this debate raged for hours and days and weeks -- whether we should allow or give people lots of slots to play around with to save -- and we spoke about it in terms of "Imagine someone saved a good hero at this point, or an evil hero at this point," and the final decision came down to "How did it make you feel?" How did it make you feel that you had the power to jump forwards and backwards in time? And we realized after a little while that it actually makes you feel less involved in the world.

There was a game that I played a long, long, long time ago called The Bard's Tale, and Bard's Tale had, I think it was more of a technical restriction than a design decision, though I could be wrong there -- when you were down in a dungeon, you couldn't save. And when you were out of a dungeon, you could save, and that system...I remembered that. I remembered how it made me feel at the time. It made me feel a lot more tense. And they did it just right, so the dungeons weren't too big that you felt like you were locked into playing for, you know, 50 hours. And I kind of remembered that, and as we carried on debating, we said "Right, let's just take the whole notion of saving and loading away, and just imagine that you're just playing." And as you said, every choice was a consequence, and you didn't feel like there weren't consequences or choices because you could always reload, and to reload, we would just force you to turn the Xbox off. The fact that you'd have to turn the Xbox off and start it again means that far, far fewer people were going to do that.

So basically what I got from this interview was that you only get one save per character but you can have multiple characters. I hope it is like that.

Well done sir.

I hope you're right.

Good find but I hope you can have multiple characters.

i've been saying it for a long time, and i stick by it, you WILL have multiple characters, end.

this is the typical 'yeti' argument, a rumor is placed, and too little evidence is around to prove it true, there is NO evidence towards a single character, but so many different pieces of information saying otherwise

ULTIMATE PROOF!

Play pub games, go to manage/merge characters, what do you see?

six fable 2 character slots!

that obviously means there are multiple characters per gamertag

thanks again for listening to my reasoning

Good find, I think its a good choice. More tense and you need to think a lil more about the choices that you make.
