It's so cold in Knothole Island

Published Wednesday, December 03, 2008 11:45 AM by Sam

It's so cold here in Guildford, my mum thought it would be a G o o d [Good] idea to call me at 7 in the morning to tell me it was going to be really cold today. Great! When asked why she phoned me at 7 in the morning, she replied "I didn't have anything else to do..." That's just great! I'm going to suggest she gets an Xbox360, link her up with LIPS or Fable II and at least that way I can get my sleep. Mothers.... Wink [;)]

The lake in the Research Park is frozen today, which reminds me of that little thing called PDLC we have on the horizon: Knothole Island. Of course we're going to have a new Video Diary about it (already told you) and also a new addition to Tales of Albion. But a blog entry wouldn't be a blog entry without pretty pictures, so... here we go, 3 new screenshots of Knothole Island!

There used to be a time when the most frequently asked question I got was "When is game X coming out?" Those days are behind us (at least for now), in recent times it seems "Can I has code plz" is the question... Sure, here's twenty.

  • All codes have been used

This promotion of Fable II (now £19.57) might be G o o d [Good] news if you're living in the UK.

Tell your mom thanks for me, the early morning helped me get a code Smily [:)]
T39XV-GYDJC-XGKRD-RBPHT-7BBXT is now gone.


Knot Hole looks pretty cool, if the patch fixes all my other issues (still can't obtain my DLC for the LE) I would be up for this.

EagleGuardian said:

Wow, getting a code seems almost impossible...

zombie187 said:

I totally love the idea of giving away free codes for extra stuff like pub games and now Knothole Island. It's a nice way for you guys to show your fans that you care Wink [;)] It sux a bit though because either I always miss the freebies by a mile or, when I do get to read a fresh post early enough I'm at work and can't redeem a code Sad [:(]

Keep up the G o o d [Good] work guys Smily [:)]
December 3, 2008 8:07 AM
 

Azazael13 said:

Zombie you know you can redeem a code via xbox.com right?


You can thank me later Smily [:)]

The one time I get out of uni early and the codes are already gone! Noticed they'd turned on the fountain at Surry Uni to stop it icing over. So much frost everywhere as well.

Oh, and Can I has code plz?

"I see a red glove and I want to dye it black... No colors anymore, I want them to turn black... I see my dog go by, dressed in his summer coat... I have to turn my head untill I see a goat..."

Big Smile [:D]

LittleBello said:

Love the costume in the first picture, it would be awesome if you can use the guitar as a weapon. Big Smile [:D]

Missed out on a code. Sad [:(] At least as time goes on, there's more chances to find a working one.

BlueHelmet667 said:

too slow again Sad [:(] but you're right, codes make the world go round. nobody would, however, really care if you didn't NEED those expressions from the pub games in order to get achievements ...

Actually, the two frequent questions made here are "Where is the patch" and "Can I have a code", made even by people who have minor glitches that have work-arounds/i.e.- can be avoided or don't prevent players from 'completing the game' (which, sadly, doesn't mean their game doesn't need repairing from a developer/debugger's point of view) and by people who already HAVE Pub Games, who simply want to give it away/auction it off/make a profit off it that you, the developers, aren't making.

Not criticizing, but just saying that "When is X game coming out" is a question usually made when a game is still being hyped and hasn't been released- and the question hasn't already been answered. The Fable community follows LionHead as closely as LionHead follows the community- they both know when the next DLC is coming out because the information was shared as soon as it was available. The questions is still asked, though.

Just not here. In other communities where LionHead developers don't frequent. So those questions are either answered by community members who frequent both and-

Man, why am I ranting? I sound so boring when I rant.

"Code plz kthx lol."

Ow, my intellect.

sick stuff.  that snow looks sexy as hell!  i really enjoyed the snow areas added to the first fable, and i'll prolly love this addition too.  i'm gonna fire up lost chapters and refresh my memory on where knothole glade is, and hopefully give myself an idea of where knothole island would be located.  can't wait, keep up the excellent work.

LOL...I'm still laughing over "CAN I HAS C0DE PLZ?".

I cannot wait for this DLC.  Although I will not have my xbox back before it's release, it will still be a white christmas (in my mind, of course)

Psyver said:

Elvis outfit looks sweet. New spell too? OK, I have a request even though I know you probably don't have direct influence. Bandit & Tart gloves and boots: can we please have them for purchase in an actual shop in Knothole? The chances are so slim getting them as a gift that I'd rather pay at this point. Oh, and I'll bite, I'm sure this has been touched upon in forums but the Assassins complete gear? If it's leading to something in future DLC then fine. Otherwise, please don't make it too hard to get. The stress of incomplete clothing sets is killing me. *stress* lol  Thanks.

Sam said:

Sorry it's not a new spell, it's a hero dressed in armour casting a will spell. So "knight + spell".

chucknorriz said:

Would we be able to get that armor when the DLC comes out? I think you guys should do Hooks Coast next for a DLC.

Macster said:

got a question for ya while not trying to spoil things for anyone not done with Fable II yet.  are there many dig sites at the new map?  just trying to plan ahead and see if i need to hurry up and beat the game with a new character so i can choose differently at the end to make the dig sites attainable.  catch my drift?

I don't think that's a new emote..I think at the end of victory arm pump (the extended) you throw up a peace sign..I could be mistaken though..

OOOOOhhhh.
Awesome.
I like the guy with the metaknight mask on, the middle picture.
But I want to see that picture in a more detailed way, maybe when he's not doing some magic stuff.
It seems that there is a bat wing on the side, I don't know, maybe it's just my imagination....

Hey, Can I just say excellent job on Fable 2. Its an Awesome game! No question. And that you're bringing out yet another DLC for Fable. Obviously Knothole Island Smily [:)] However, Im just wondering if you could possibly bring out a game add on for Fable. I'd love some more legendary weapons, new spells, quests and armour/clothing of sorts.And Im sure that many more people'd love the same thing as me. This add on could ultimately provide more fun and customisation in Fable 2, so that Its more of a fantisy and less of a reality game. Im just desperately missing the wide variety or legendary weapons and Armours previously employed in the first game, Which is considerably less than in this game. I'm sure Im not the Only one thats been wanting an update/add-on such as this. Honestly, I'd pay £20+ just for Legendary weapons and Armour and maybe the occasional quest that defines another main storyline. I want to end this Comment on a positive note. Fable 2 Rocks Stick out tongue [:P]

Thanks,
