Okay, let's start at the beginning with Fable 1's pro's and con's.
Pro's-it's a very good game...
Fable is a great RPG, a creatively designed and well-made game, a gripping and lively experience with a wonderful story-line, and a superb addition to the Xbox's library.
While I must admit the gameplay is mostly just hack n' slash action, after you've become stronger, buy yourself a couple tatoos, and get the hairstyle of your choice, you can't help but be somewhat proud of the character you've created (good or evil) once you finish the game.
Making Fable more than live up to it's name, unfortunatly in more ways than one.
Con's-...now let's bash it
The unfortunate way in which Fable live's up to it's name is that prior to its release we where told "stories" about certain aspects of the the gameplay that never even made it in the game, and once released it didn't live up to peoples origanal expectations at all. If I could compare it to something I'd say it was like having a wealthy friend take you to the fanciest restaurant in town, then deside to buy you a sandwitch.
The point is that, anyone that played this game expecting one of the best gaming experiences of all time was most likely disapointed with Fable.
My opinion-mine...my own...my precious opinion
Personaly I enjoyed Fable very much, and got a good 58-60 hrs. out of it. And although I admit it isn't your traditional RPG, and that it was overly hyped, I think many people can agree that it was still a great game none-the-less. And one that would only get better.
There's more-a lot more
Fable:The Lost Chapters was an amazing improvement over the original. Not only did it have more quests, areas, weapons, and armor, but it also improved many aspects of the gameplay. For instance, Demon Doors show up the color purple on the mini map so they aren't confused with enemys. Picking up items automaticaly is a huge improvement over walking over to them and doing it manualy, like in the original. many other things have also been improved in small ways like bartering and using flourish. And all these improvements make getting The Lost Chapters worth every penny.
The next chapter-the moment you've been waiting for...or not
And now Fable 2 is coming to the Xbox 360, and even though I know better, I can't help but be excited. However, I must admitt I am sceptical, espeacialy after seeing the teaser.

The real thing that got me excited about Fable 2 was simply the Idea. So many people complaned about all the stuff that wasn't in Fable, but with Fable 2 on the 360 they might be able to add many amazing things the Xbox couldn't handle, including a much bigger world to explore.
Now I'm not going to get to caught up in the hype, but I will keep a lookout for this one.
Well, this is a discussion thread so let's talk about...
Guns - a cool idea, but one that could ruin a game like this, if not done right.
The teaser - it was alright, but I can't wait to see the game in action
Heros best friend - this is something that comes straight from PM himself, so I don't know if it's real either, but apparantly when you start out as a kid you'll have a puppy that will follow you around. The catch is, the dogs morality changes along with yours. Play good and you'll have a lovely fluffy poodle for company, play the badboy and...well you certainly won't have a fluffy poodle, if you know what I mean.
Your own ideas - simply, what you think should be put in the game
PS. Please don't quote all this, for obvious space saving reasons. <-- I knew someone would quote the whole thing, thanks for listening vman
