Looks like review copies of Fable II have been shipped out and in them was a letter from Peter Molyneux to the reviewer that read like this:
I have a favour to ask you — we build this game not only to appeal to gamers like yourself, but to appeal to anybody. So please, please, please, please, pleae find somebody who doesn’t play games, watch them play it and see how their world turns out, because I think it’s only when you see those differences that the unique experiences comes through.
A bit of a strange request but an interesting, almost a challenge to see just how mainstream Fable can be even for those people that are non-gamers. His statement about the game changing their world is a bit over the top, but just shows his level of commitment to his games and craft. Fable does ship a bit incomplete as the online co-op mode is not included and will come later as a downloadable update for the update.
I have yet to get my copy so Peter if your reading this please feel free to send one my way and I and a non-gamer will review it.

@ EHT - lol, nice try
It was worth a try, oh well. It’s good to know that the developers are making the game more open to any game other than just one. That will bring in a broad demographic = win.
edit: i meant to say, “more open to any gamer*…”
He was more referring to the GAME world “watch them play it and see how their world turns out, because I think it’s only when you see those differences that the unique experiences comes through.”
No he wasn’t referring to the game world he was referring to their game world. Their as in the game world of non-gamers.
btw is that “pleae” a typo from the quote or did they really email them with a typo? lol.
