I was reading a journo's blog post about this - saying how spooky and cool it was.She found much about Milo compelling - but of course he wasn't able to answer all questions fluently, and there's a lot of smoke-and-mirrors about keeping him plausible.

Milo was staggering. Will he always look like that? I seem to remember early Dimitri images showing a caricature old man. Will he grow up? Look different for each player? Is he your 'player character' or a coop NPC? Are you cast as a psychiatrist? Is your role to guide his personality as he grows up? People's incinations to hurt or kill Milo ...

The decision to let you accrue cash even while not playing is cunning - even if you put it down for a few days, your reward for coming back just goes up.

Anyone clarify how to get the timing right, by, eg, watching the sunlight traverse across the room?I thought it'd end up shining straight onto the ring in the centre of the room, but I've never seen that happen.

Add inevitable DLC to that, and although there's a load of time-consuming gaming coming out all at once (Fable deserves a Spring/summer release, I think, but economics disgarees), I certainly hope I'll go ...

Hm, nice idea, but you know you can show your gamertag in that little box on the left? If anyone didn't know, there's a tickbox in your email & private settings tab on your profile page which allows you to choose to show it or conceal it. You can click through to view the user's gamercard, and from there add a friend directly. Not saying ...

No, and Yes, in that order.The STD thing is just a stat really... unless you're really bothered about 100% purity, in which case: why are you shagging whores?  It's one of those cool, minor, permanent things the game does.  Despite my character being a beauty (and a bit of a wild one, as you can tell since I can answer these questions), ...
