Molyneux pointed out a key feature about Fable 2's interface: there's no longer any mini-map to guide your around. This has been replaced by what's being referred to as a "breadcrumb trail," a glowing line on the ground which guides you to the next important scene. This trail brought us to a police officer who offered to give us a little work to help make his job easier. Since you and your sister begin the game as impoverished street urchins, you'll probably find this offer to be an intriguing one. The officer handed us five warrants for criminals being sought for arrest. From here, we had the option to find the fugitives and bring them back to the police for a little extra scratch, or earn even more money by simply selling the warrants to the criminal fraternity, which essentially grants those thugs their freedom.
And a taste from IGN's article:
On top of powering up your combat skills, you can also augment your weapons. Weapons can have up to five augmentation slots that enable you to add bonuses such as fire, lightning and regeneration. You can also create custom necklaces, earrings and rings. If you have the cash, you can pretty much turn yourself into a superhero.
Speaking of money, it will cost about $100 million to buy everything in Albion. You can get a leg up on this by playing the Fable Pub XBLA game. The money earned in this game will carry over into Fable 2. In fact, once you are of age in the game, a mysterious stranger comes up to you and hands you a load of cash. So yes, you can start Fable 2 with a ridiculous amount of funds.
