Fable III Introduces Co-op…With Benefits

As you’ve no doubt heard, Lionhead’s upcoming Fable III plans to expand on the series’ focus on player emotions with a new touch system. It allows adventurers to interact with AI characters by touching them lovingly or roughly through context-sensitive button-pressing. According to a feature in the new issue of Official Xbox Magazine, that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

As OXM puts it, "You'll be able to enjoy, ahem, intimate moments with your co-op friend and eventually produce offspring together." If you do plan on playing the game with a co-op buddy, you might want to have an in-depth talk first, lest things get weird. Or weirder.
