Methadone for Warcrack

I'm playing a pretty cool single-player RPG right now called "Fable: The Lost Chapters", on my Xbox. It's also available on PC, but the PC price is $49.99, while the Xbox price is $19.99, mainly b/c the watered down version was out on Xbox only last year. I have to say that this game has 90 percent of the cool attributes that World of Warcraft (Warcrack) had, with the exception of the person to person interaction and guild stuff, etc. The plus is not having to deal with major lagging and the hassle of not being able to just play for 30 min. or so. Warcrack was a 2 hour plus committment if you wanted to accomplish anything... The game play is pretty involved, with everything from fighting, questing, developing your character, etc. There are some interesting choices of things to do, including paying barbers and tattoo artists to change your look, buy and selling (or renting) real estate, boasting about deeds, etc.

What makes this game truly interesting, and perhaps separates it a bit from other RPG's is that EVERY action you take has a direct effect on your surroundings. And the more good you are, the more "pure" your character will look. The more evil you are, the "darker" your character will become. The game tempts you to the dark side frequently, offering slightly better rewards for committing evil deeds, in comparison to the good opposite deed, and promising a much quicker path to wealth and power. However, I'm banking on the possibility that being pure will pay off in the end. At any rate, you can play the game 10 times and have 10 completely different experiences, based on the fact that every action will alter your character, as well as the rest of the game. I'm just beginning to get into the real action (after a training period), but it seems like this is going to be a pretty cool ride.
