Fable 2 main quest only 12 hours long

News - Do it in that time though and miss half the fun

Those of you who race through games ignoring side quests and never exploring more than you need may find the upcoming Fable 2 a little on the short side according to Lionhead. Speaking to Joystiq during an E3 presentation of the game Lionhead staff revealed that the main quest in Fable 2 will only take around 12 hours to complete. Apparently Fable 2 relies heavily on it's side quests and encouraging the player to explore the world which is part of the reason for your in game canine companion. It seems Molyneux has designed your trusty dog to help guide the player towards these areas of the game. That main quest time also ignores all the hours of fun you can have buying almost every building in the game and having families etc so there's defiantly much more fun to be had if you take your time and don't rush through everything.

Fable II is and Xbox 360 exclusive and due out this October.
