Playground Games/Xbox Game Studios Xbox has shared a lengthy gameplay video for Fable, which shows off what the developers at Playground Games are calling the Living Population system. This concerns the more than 1,000 non-playable, fully voiced characters in the action RPG, and how your interactions with them (and your actions in the broader world) affect how they perceive and react to you.
Playground says these NPCs each have their own personalities and day-to-day lives, all of which the studio designed by hand. Your character (who others refer to simply as Hero) can interact with all of the NPCs, including by making friends with them, hiring them as employees, romancing them and turning them into enemies.
