9/10 for Fable 2 but 7/10 for Fallout 3? Fable 2 is just as buggy as Fallout 3, in fact there is a bug in Fable 2 that stops you from progressing with the story requiring you to create a new game. I think that's a bigger flaw than a couple of NPCs not killing each other. I enjoy both games and they both have their benefits and flaws, but from this review and with other reviews, such as Edge's 7/10 score of Mass Effect, if company wants their RPG to receive 9/10 rating from Edge, you best have your traditional swords and magic in play. None of this silly contemporary aged warfare.
