Fable 2 Development

   

Tales of Albion 3 and something else

Published Wednesday, October 15, 2008 5:57 PM by Sam

We know a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting the next part in the Tales of Albion and here it is. The third installment – Travels in Today’s Albion – is a nine part series talking about the Albion in Fable II. We'll be revealing more of the map as the weeks go on to make sure we don't spoil the story for people playing the game. Visit Tales of Albion: Travels in Today’s Albion. There is of course a slight spoiler element, but that's why most of the map is covered in fog.

On another note, a lot of people have been asking me if the TV Advert is the same thing I was talking about a couple of weeks ago. You'll be happy to know it is not, expect the SENSATIONAL thing I've been working on, this Friday 17th October.

 Tales of Albion now requires you to install Silverlight 2.0. In case you haven't already, please follow the instructions.

Can this SENSATION be another video diary by any chance? Sources tell me such.

Thanks to all at LH. You guys have done a tremendous job. The pub games, tales of albion & the web games have been great preludes & all have gotten me more excited for the game. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

Wow, thanks Sam, I love this part of it. It's giving me a feeling of what it'll be like. I'm so excited, can't wait to play this wonderful game. I believe it'll be the best you've ever made, and the games after will only be better.
Can't wait till Friday.

Ahh yes... this does a G o o d [Good] job answering the question about the parts... hmm... silverlight won't work on my computer... my old cpu... I'll just have to wait for screen caps...

I have no school tomorrow or friday... so the wait for the sensational thing on friday will suck... then again... if FABLE II came out this week instead... oh well...

Sam? I don't mean to ruin anyones day here but, I discovered a guy on youtube that had already got his Fable 2 copy... How's that possible? It might be mean of me to tell on him, but we have all waited so long for this game, and it's really frustrating that someone get it way before everyone else! It's unfair!!!

Sam said:

LOL I did say Alboin!!! That's funny. Will edit it. Wink [;)]

Oh and plus it's me calling it sensational. I'm an excitable guy.

I can't wait for the 24th, I get mid-term holidays that day!!
I suppose I should be studying for Xmas exams though....but how can I say no to a few hours (days Smily [:)] ) of playing the best game of the year?!
Thanks for the update Sam, and to the other guys who worked so hard to finish Tales of Albion, Travels in Today’s Albion. Big Smile [:D]

Wow! Thanks for working really hard to please us! It was great! You guys never disappoint!

Throwing8smokes said:

Also, I just installed Silverlight from the homepage, because it wouldn't work off the site. But, Tales of Albion says I still need to download Siverlight 2.0.
October 15, 2008 4:23 PM
 

Throwing8smokes said:

Never mind! I just got it to work! I can't wait to read it, it looks spectacular!

stu_fargher said:

Ah. Damn you Wikipedia and your knowledge of all things (despite what University profs may say (they're just jealous)). Thanks for the update Sam. Travels in Albion was pretty interesting; it was nice to get an idea of whats happened to the "ol' stompin' grounds". Looking forward to seeing it updated though. Cheers.

Thanks Sam! The new Tales of Albion are ace. Can't wait for the new 'SENSATIONAL thing' this Friday.

Also loving the amount of news we're getting! Almost everyday speed dial looks different when the Lionhead site has some more G o o d [Good]ies!! You're a credit to the team. Thanks!

Are you suggesting that we should lower our expectations if we aren't excitable people?

stu_fargher said:

Hey people with the silverlight 2 problems. I'm sure you've probably tried this... but I thought I might venture this idea anyway... once you've installed the program, try restarting your computer. Fixing your problem may be as simple as that... worked for me at least.

clark1250 said:

What is Sam talking about? Oh well I am excited but I want to know why are the guides not even in stores yet? I am happy that it comes out next week and can't take much more waiting by the way great blog hope the next one has a video or something real fancy attached can't hardly wait!

Reluctant said:

So I can read Tales of Abion parts 1 and 2, but part 3 is "greyed" out for me. I installed Silverlight 2.0 (mac) and I still can't access part 3.

Is anyone else having this problem with not being able access part 3?

Kraut_Robber said:

I'd guess the Flash Games ain't the sensational thing since they are already online. But maybe the sensation is Chicken Kickin und Hero's Tale less buggy Wink [;)]

On October 19, 2008, episode eight "Story of the Hero" will be released.
During the week commencing 13th October IGN will be running a week of Fable related videos relating to the Sword, Guns, Will, Choices and the Story of the Hero.

I had to do it, the dude up there made me wiki-search it so, blame HIM!

kingtiger287 said:

Well the Tales of Albion worked for me before, but once i downloaded the silverlight 2.0 it didn't. now its just a blank screen. i left it alone all day and nothing loaded either. i guess i won't be able to read the third Tales
October 16, 2008 6:39 PM
 

kingtiger287 said:

Over50Squirrels has the same problem as me. i tried it again, and the loading came up but once it got to 100% it went blank again
October 16, 2008 6:40 PM
 

mangamathias said:

well I too had the "silverLight-problem" and so i went to bed. next day, "drumroll, drumroll, drumroll" it worked. must because the computer got restarted.
October 16, 2008 6:51 PM
 

kingtiger287 said:

cool i just found a way to get the Tales of Albion to work for me. I guess the version of Firefox i have is not capable of using silverlight 2.0, so i used internet explorer (took me awhile to find) and for some reason it worked.
