From the reading the post in some of these thread you don't seem to be the only one.

He says that it was changed from a mini game to just losing the experience orbs.

midnyht:
I hope your female characters can have a big butt in fable 2, another hypermatter morph, lol, I guess Peter doesnt like a phatty
Maybe it's an English thing lol
midnyht:
Anywho, I thought the death mechanic b4 was pretty , but I am sort of happy that they changed it to a mini game instead of having to sacrifice exp/renown/gold, or perhaps, another way to make it 'harder' to be a hero would be for the game to make you pay sacrifice something when you die() or just play a mini game() based on your alignment,
Maybe you should watch that video again I think you got the change a little mixed up there.

listen to around 20:35 on the video link you posted, they changed what happens when you die, at E3, PM said that you have to sacrifice renown/exp/gold to not get scared, now in this interview he says its a mini game.

I know they changed some other stuff with you loosing exp if you fall to the ground after being beaten, im just talking about what is sacrificed to prevent scaring

With the amount of mature content in this game I am sure they have plenty of them. Hopefully they don't end with the words "we have to drop this feature".

Awwww...... I loved the idea of scardeath.... Takes away XP which you can easily re-earn or you get a nasty scar which effects the world. Instead of the HORRIBLY tedious system of going back and doing everything over again (I hate that). I heard that you got up in a really cool way, just mentioning.

Portarock:
Also it is sooo obvious the Peter is a breast man Also I have heard that he actually called a meeting to discuss the size of the female character's butt. According to Peter it was too big lol

You're joking.... right?

There was alot of problems with the old death mechanic as pointed out by many forum members and the fact that it had to be changed. Hopefully the new system will not have all those problems.

One of the things in the video I found really interesting was how PM shot one of the Hobbes during a cut scene. This is a feature that the makers of Too human have been touting. It could really add alot to the story telling by being able to react in real time to the things happening during a "cutscene".

I really love how much the game seems to be so simulation based. The environment, the cities, the economy, your avatar, NPC reactions/dialogue, and even the story change based on the actions by the player. This is what is really going to make Fable so unique and should result in alots of "emergent gameplay" stories.

Come to think of it would the old death mechanic really work anyway? I mean you get knocked on your bum and the bandits or whomever you were fighting start kicking and beating on you for gold right? So if you pay your gold/experience/renown what happens then? Do the enemies just let you back up and let you continue fighting them? And what happens to the dog? Something's missing here.

I agree scmredrum. Hopefully they distubute moraltly points much better this time.

So the new death mechanic is not being able to collect exp orbs. I wonder how we get scars now? Why isn't there more duscussion of this? lol

On the co-op feature, PM said in that video "you've seen 50% of co-op and thats couch co-op" so the other 50% of co-op HAS to be online...

midnyht:
That was a great interview, especially the new stuff on the alignment scales, it looks to be interesting

I found this, nothing new on it, but interesting to watch

Great video midnyht. One thing I noticed was the flashing lookout trigger wasn't in this version, it looked much nicer without it.

Edit: Also nice video Porta
