Fable 2 Co-op (Can's and can'ts)

I have been hearing alot of things going around about the Fable 2 Co-op. before i rush into I want to know what people who have played it know. Can you make a guy/girl on a diffrent Gamertag and play them instead of the pre-generated henchman??? And what can the hero do that the henchman can't? plz helpFable 2 Co-op (Can's and can'ts)
You have to use a pre-generated henchman.If you're playing co-op over xbox live and you join a friends world, then you choose a henchman to be, guy or girl.All of your abilities, expressions, etc can still be used. You dont bring any of your items or weapons though.The person who's world it is chooses how to split the gold and XP. You get to keep any gold or XP you get, or any abilities you upgrade.Fable 2 Co-op (Can's and can'ts)
i played co op for like 20min u have to use the ones that they pre made. the host who ever u joined u have to watch them do the jobs. its just like san andreas multiplayer how there r 2 people on the screen have to fight over which way to go.
