It's just my opinion but i think Molyneux should stop worrying about making a game that lets you do anything and create a game that gives you something useful to do instead!
His games are boring and never deliver on the claims of complete player freedom. Fable was a very average game. B&W was a total crok.
I find it quite easy to 'think up' an idea that allows total player freedom. Here's one: 'Its a game that lets you play as a boy or girl in a town or country location at any point in time and do anything you want to achieve any goal you set'. AWESOME!

Agreed. I mean, we already have a ultra-high definition incredibly detailed, real-time, massively multi-user environment that lets you do ANYTHING you want (climb a mountain, pilot a rocket, have sex with a movie star, invent a cure for cancer), as long as you amass the skills and funds to enable your objectives, and you play the game with sufficient skill to enable you to achieve them before someone else does.
It's called life, and most of us are trying to get out of it by playing computer games.
awe its okay petey! Just keep making those games. We already know when you say something that sounds to good to be true, its is. So in knowing that I find my middle ground. I liked Fable...what can I say? *shrugs shoulders*
I think it an awesome idea, I'd like to have a game that lets me do absolutely anything, and when I say anything, I don’t mean, carjack somebody and run around doing nothing. I mean anything. Like, go to sleep, wake up in the morning, go apply for a job, ditch work, go inside somebody’s house at night when they are sleeping, steal their car keys, drive into a mall, have a shoot out with the cops, and go on a road trip to California and go surfing. Absolutely anything. It would be cool if you'd be able to converse with NPC’s via microphone and have acknowledgement of what you've said and respond realistically. I think a game like this with very realistic nex gen technology would be amazing, or not.
