Property and Economy

Property and economy article from Developer Direct and press coverage
You can buy residential and business properties across Albion. Every house in the game is enterable, and many are purchasable. Once you own a property, you become its landlord.
As a landlord, you can:
Rent out properties for income
Evict tenants
Hire and fire NPCs
Accumulate wealth and property across the whole map
Buying everything is technically possible. If you want to own every mansion in Albion, the game does not stop you. NPCs react to your wealth. One example shown during coverage had an NPC calling a rich player a "rich twat."
Blacksmithing is confirmed as a playable job. Earlier Fable games had several minigame-style jobs (blacksmithing, bartending, woodcutting) and this entry continues that tradition, though the full list of available jobs has not been published.
Player actions affect the local economy. The most concrete example: killing Dave the giant leaves his corpse in the world, which permanently lowers house prices in that area. Nobody wants to buy property next to a dead giant.
The system ties into the reputation framework. Being known as wealthy changes how NPCs interact with you. Owning all the property in a town makes you a different kind of local figure than someone who keeps a low profile.
Marriage is part of the economic picture too. You can marry any of the 1,000+ NPCs, have children, and get divorced. How this interacts with property ownership (shared assets, alimony) has not been detailed yet.
