5 reasons real life should be like Fable II...

And a 50 mile sprint wouldn't even put a dent in that extra flab. All baked goods would have to come bundled with additional celery as part of a government health guideline.


No matter who you were chatting up, everyone in the vicinity would think you were talking to them

Safe sex would start even before the initial conversation. Extreme discretion would be vital in avoiding unwanted grim-faces, so much so that clubs and bars would come fitted with special one-to-one romancing rooms for the safety and spared feelings of their patrons.
