[edit] Pirates

Pirates? Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. Pirates... Pirates. Fable with pirates = win.

Garrgh, I agree. Thanks for spamming the talk page instead of the article.Stu42 22:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Firearms

The article states that firearms are presumed to be in the game. I remember seeing a demonstration video of Fable 2 somewhere (mainly featuring the dog mechanics) and noticed that when the demonstrator talked about how your dog acts differently depending on what weapon you choose, he pulled out a firearm and shot an enemy with it. I'm unable to find the video to cite, but if anyone can find it, they should be able to changed that from 'presumed' to 'confirmed'. Unless, that is, they mysteriously stop using firearms in the game. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TriggerOfHel (talk • contribs) 23:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Release Date

Play.com puts the release date as 27/10/2007. http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/1012390/Fable_2/Product.html Michaelritchie200 09:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I saw that somewhere else too. It seems pretty practical but we can't put it for the official release date. DarthJango42 18:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Best Buy puts the date as 10/15/2007 [1] Predated 21:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Peter molyneux said 2008 at GDC. If were going to put a releasedate, I think this one's more reliableStu42 22:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consoles

Is this being released only for the XBox 360? Not the PC? Michaelritchie200 20:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
At the moment it has only been announced for the 360. DarthJango42 18:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confirmed facts

Some of the confirmed facts seem unclear or as they're stated should not be considered confirmed.

• "The game may be set on another continent than Albion.": If it "may be", it isn't confirmed. Also, with other items stated, it seems that the game will be set in Albion. Or is this talking about that other continents may be involved including Albion?
• "Property can now be properly invested in...": How is it going to be different from the first Fable?
• "The designer wants to reproduce a theme of unconditional love in your children.": What exactly does this mean?
• "The player can plant an acorn into the ground and watch it grow into an oak tree." Only oak trees are available to plant or is this just an example that vegetation can be planted?
• "Images found online taken from X06 show a new area called Bloodstone which appears to be a coastal dock-style area for ships." & "Other images from X06 also hint heavily at pirates making an appearance and indicate that the "whores" of Albion, as named in the image, will also reappear in Fable 2.": Is it possible to have stated images posted, as there is no link (that I've found) to said images, so reference to them is almost pointless.

PureSoldier 04:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

• this game is also avalable for windows & mac.

-Oh, just browse those links down the bottom (the gamespot one). I found the articles (though I don't have time to find them for you now). It's all true if you take Peter M's word for it. Not sure about the other than Albion thing though. I didn't read all of it.

-- Will do. PureSoldier 06:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

i wonder if scythe will make an appearance, i believe he will..

Does somebody knows the official release date? Because everyone is saying a diferent one. (DenisseClark 04:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC))

-- Okay, regarding your questions about the confirmed facts:

• The unconditional love thing means that your characters kids will respect you no matter what kind of horrible things you .
• I'm pretty sure that only oak trees have acorns. I could be wrong, though.

As for the other questions... *falls over and dies* --Averross 14:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reconfirm facts

If someone has some time on their hands, can they reconfirm the items listed? While a lot of the vandalism seems to be gone, others seem possible vandalism. PureSoldier 20:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This is DarthJango42, I'm posting the list of facts and I'll say which ones I've definitely heard of and post links if I can find them. Only the September ones because the July ones seem mostly plausible. Also, I'm new at this so I'm not sure how to shorten to links so if someone wants to do that to this list, they can.

NOTE: For the http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html source, take special note of paragraph 7 which states that not all of these features may make the cut. Also the last paragraph says we may see Fable 2 in action at March although this could definitely change. Here's a page with the whore, pirates, and bloodstone images. And some other stuff too. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/fable2concept.php

On September 29, 2006 Lionhead's Peter Moleyneux gave a preview of Fable 2 at X06:

• The Hero starts as a street urchin. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
• The player will be able to choose his or her character's gender. Their bodies will mature accordingly as they age or level up in experience. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
• Property can now be properly invested in, and you will also be able to buy things like castles or even catacombs. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
• It is now possible to have children, whether you are playing as a female or a male. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
• The designer wants to reproduce a theme of unconditional love in your children. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
• The player may now choose from protected sex to unprotected sex. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
• The player can plant an acorn into the ground and watch it grow into an oak tree. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
• The player can affect the future of a camp by choosing to finance it or slay everyone inside. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
• The Hero's child is affected by the Hero's actions. This means that if the Hero is evil, his child will be too. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
• Images found online taken from X06 show a new area called Bloodstone which appears to be a coastal dock-style area for ships. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/photos/2.jpg
• Other images from X06 also hint heavily at pirates making an appearance and indicate that the "whores" of Albion, as named in the image, will also reappear in Fable 2. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/photos/4.jpg http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/photos/8.jpg
• The improved combat system will mean that the way the hero swings his sword changes according to proximity of walls, allies, and enemies. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
• The game will have a multiplayer portion. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=148656?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-General-RSS NOTE: He did not confirm multiplayer, he has only confirmed a spectator mode so far where people can watch each other play. http://www.answers.com/topic/fable-2 (It says Molyneux hints at a multiplayer portion in some G4 interview which I haven't been able to find.)
• You will now be able to take jobs as such as barman, a farmer, or even a prostitute. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62
• Your character will age, as the game takes place over 50 years http://alterego.vault.ign.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62
• The Hero will be able to have a companion, most likely a dog. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=128840 However, considering that this is a year old and absolutely nothing has been said about it since (except for rumors), I wouldn't really count on this one...
• There will be an online element with a team mechanic. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62
• If you die, you can not return so you have to restart/load the game.

In the http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes source, they say the main bad guy is named Lucien who will try to harm your family if have one. So far anyways, the only rumor I haven't been able to find anything about is the die comeback one (the last one) which I don't even really get anyway, so there. Everyone else can decide what to do with this stuff. DarthJango42 02:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yo Momma

The latest person to edit the page, yo momma (I'm just calling him that since there is no name in the history of the page and the comment he left was yo momma), left a vulgar comment at the end of the list of confirmed facts. Some of the confirmed facts don't make sense, like there will be "uncool" twists and you can have a companion that is a rapist. Are there any citations that can confirm the confirmations? Otherwise I will have to assume that yo momma messed with the page.

Rhymingisfun 02:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In response to Yo Momma

The person you call Yo Momma was vandalizing the page,This is confirmed because you can not have a rapist as your companion from known evidence and they also added to fact below that and I quote "Why are you reading this Bitch?"That is what he put after that and I think this vadalization should be fixed as soon as possible. --Grabnar 04:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Molyneux at GDC 2007

Should we put in that Peter Molyneux is going to have an 80-minute session at GDC in March just about Fable 2 and reveal a new "unexpected" feature of the game? In this session, he will also likely reveal tons of other new info on the game as well. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/753/753870p1.html So should we put this in the article? DarthJango42 03:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC) —Definately. I'd add it but I'm not sure where to put it.Stu42 21:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Stu42

I'll add it. Incidentally, does anyone have a source on the talk Molyneux had with G4? fel64 08:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Theres a video about it on G4's website. You can find it easy if you do a search for "Molyneux." Not sure how to cite it though. --Ryudo 06:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Searched for Molyneux, got a whole bunch of results. I watched the most likelies but none of them mentioned online play (I'm interested because it's listed as a source for the 'known facts'). Unfortunately their system is incredibly inconvenient for linking - maybe you can describe exactly how to get to that video? In any case, I would cite by giving the quotation, the timespan and the video location. fel64 16:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewriting page

I think it would be good to rewrite this page - it's just a huge mess now, especially that list of facts. I've put what I'm working on as one of my user pages here. Basically I will be rewriting the introduction and the confirmed facts thing mainly for a different page structure. One of my reasons is WP:LAUNDRY. Comments/criticisms/vetoes? fel64 16:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good, just remember to include everything. And put cites so we can get rid of that "does not cite its sources" thing. DarthJango42 04:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

My main problem is that quoting videos in terribly inconvenient. Once something is sorted out about that it'll be finished, possibly earlier anyway. fel64 17:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I just replaced the page. Please make any changes necessary or even revert (with discussion first though please). I am involved with Loinhead, and I have linked to it - but that was in cases where I thought it was genuinely the best/only source for the information. fel64 17:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Right, next person to post made up stuff in it will be chased by a banana. Hi fel. Grymsqueaker 10:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Tell me if I'm wrong, but does Fable 2 have random generated worlds? I've never heard anything about this, and I'm a member of the lionhead forums, found here: http:allboards.lionhead.com

Yo Kal!

Anonymous: You're wrong. Probably. There hasn't been anything at all to suggest that. Please sign comments by the way. :) fel64 17:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that was me, I forgot to sign it. It was one of the things that was in the article, that's all. Grymsqueaker 08:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

There is something at the end of the storyline section of questionable truth. But I'm not removing anything yet. 124.177.183.208 07:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

That was just crazy. I reverted it. Thanks. fel64 09:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can a Fable I account be transfered to Fable 2

I have a finished hero (finished game with max stats) on my XBox 360 and I was wondering if anybody knew if there was going to be a transfer feature. It would be fun if you could do that because I have spent days perfecting my character. If anybody knows tell me on my talk page. --Eiyuu Kou
