Fable III co-op lets you get your friends pregnant! photo

You've fragged, decapitated and teabagged all your buddies in countless online games over the years, but something's always been missing. You can't quite put your finger on it, but there's one thing you always felt you've never done to your best friend. You've never gotten him pregnant. Thank f*ck for Fable III!

The news comes via Official Xbox Magazine, with a revelation that reads: "The team seems committed to ensuring the [co-op] experience is in no way compromised. You’ll be able to enjoy, ahem, intimate moments with your co-op friend and eventually produce offspring together."

That's right, folks. Lionhead's upcoming Xbox 360 RPG will allow you to take your co-op fun one step further than it perhaps should ever go, as players get to consummate their online liaisons and actually have a baby together. Never before have you been able to inseminate your friend's digital womb via Xbox Live, but Molyneux and friends are about to make your sordid dreams come true. 

For many of us, this will represent the closest we'll ever get to becoming pregnant ourselves. I literally cannot wait to gestate a child inside of me, and I do believe that thanks to Fable III, I am finally going to feel like a whole person. The way I should have been born. God bless you, Lionhead Studios. God bless you all.

Fable III: You can 'get intimate' with co-op partner [OXM]

Fun fact, sordid is dirty in Latin. Also I will now get my girlfriend pregnant via Xbox live like God intended!

This is, presumably, preceded by a drunken night regarded as a mistake by both parties and is followed by a life of regret. Well done Molyneux, you glorious lunatic.

It occurred to me that glorious lunatic could be taken in a derogatory fashion. I want to stress that this is not the case. I want to see this in every game. The preround lobby should become a venue for foreplay.

Can I stock up on virtual roofies, bang my XBL friends while they're passed out, and wait for them to start wondering why their characters are gaining weight and throwing up in the morning?

If so, best game ever.

The thought of having in-game sex with pretty much any person on my friends lists gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I think it would be interesting if they forced all players who just bought the game to adopt the identity of someone's virtual child. It would never work, but it would be fun idea, no? Kind of like, you can choose your spouse, but not your kids or parents.

Besides wondering exactly how this was pitched to the development team and what their reaction was, I think I find this whole idea a lot less hilarious/disturbing/awesome than most people here. I mean, I don't know why they thought this was the next logical step for their co-op, but I have a feeling the novelty of fucking your friends and creating an in game child with them might wear off quickly.

Though I can only hope someone in the news circuit picks up on this and is incredibly offended.

It doesnt matter if the coop is still as shitty as in fable2. The coop was nearly unplayable. Alone the fact that you have to stay on the same screen even in online coop, couldnt move while your buddy is in the inventury, cant equip your buddy killed that whole xp for me.

This just screams for motion controller support.

If Project Natal can't help you inseminate your friends, then it doesn't deserve the name.

Wasn't there a lineage thing of sorts brought up back during Fable 1? Could this be the continuation of that? It would add immense replay value if you could create progeny, and pass down a weapon or something to them for a New Game+...
