Fable II Walkthrough and Guide
Fable 2 Guide - Childhood
At the start of the game you are presented with a choice. Either pick to be a male hero, or a female one. Both selections will give you the nickname Sparrow, the only real change to gameplay is that if you are a female character you have to become pregnant and give birth (which happens pretty much instantaneously after sex and doesn't affect your fighting ability!). Both male and female heroes can have sex with male and female NPCs as they see fit.
The game starts in Bowerstone Old Town, a location that you will become very much accustomed to over the next few hours. Here you are introduced to the Left Trigger zoom, which allows you to scope in on specific elements during cut scenes, entirely optionally, such as Fairfax Castle in this case.
