Official Xbox Magazine has revealed some of the details it is about to publish in its preview of Fable II, one of which is that Stephen Fry will be doing the voice of one of the characters.

The legendary comedian/author/presenter will be lending his considerable vocal talents to an already substantial cast list, playing a 'legendary hero with a villainous streak'.

A 'create-a-henchman' feature has also been revealed, enabling a second player to fashion a sidekick and 'learn how to play within minutes'.

Elsewhere, the good and evil system has been expanded to four traits, with the choices of purity/corruption and kindness/cruelty now available.

Decisions made within the game will change your character's appearance and there are also no cut-scenes or an HUD.
