Fable 2 Development

   

Snow, the team and what's next

Published Friday, February 06, 2009 2:30 PM by Sam

It's currently snowing again down in Surrey, Guildford. People speak of the worst snow that's fallen in around twenty years. I wouldn't know, I've only been in this country for five years. On Monday the studio was pretty much closed, everything is still white and with today's snow I anticipate no one will be able to leave and we'll all have to sleep in the office overnight. The team often starts a snowball fight (great fun) and the number of snowmen and -women outside the office must be setting a new record.

The Fable team is still working. On what, I cannot say but it's bound to be announced at some stage in the future. You might also have noticed we're hiring like crazy at Lionhead so if you know someone with the right skills who's looking for a job, please refer them. You could end up with a friend who's working on the next big thing to come out of our studio!

Peter especially has been very busy, we're now focusing on two things at the time - add to that the general managing of the studio and you can see why it's a right pain to try and get a hold of him.

If you're hungry for some interesting reading on Fable II then I would like to suggest this article on Brainy Gamer (The world according to Molyneux) and even Follow the Golden Path : Man Bytes Blog. Both articles are well written and while you might not agree with (all) points made, it most certainly is a mature conversation about videogames (and more specifically Fable II) giving the reader serious food for thought.

Especially the first point made on The Brainy Gamer "A world that stimulates my imagination" struck a few cords with me. I'm currently well into Fallout 3 (which I started playing on Sunday) and the number of Ghouls I met in my sleep is starting to get worrying. Michael goes on: "Molyneux's Albion is a sumptuous and stylized visual feast that somehow manages to make sense of all its parts. It makes no effort to logically explain why traveling bards, rifles, and magical energy swords all belong in this world, but they do. Albion is a fun (and often funny) place to be, but it also contains a dark side that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. I've had two dreams set in Albion since I started playing Fable 2, so I guess I can safely say: imagination stimulated."

It's this point that leads me to my question of the day: "What is the weirdest dream you ever had about Fable or Fable II?" By answering (post in the comments), you could be winning a code to download the Knothole Island DLC for Fable II PLUS another code for the Premium Knothole Island NXE theme! Be sure your comment is posted before Sunday 8th February 2008 12:00 hours GMT and you could be one of ten lucky winners.

If you can't wait until Sunday then here are 10 codes for the theme already.

The weirdest dream I ever had pertaining to fable, was shortly after purchasing Fable 1, a few years back. After playing through the first few hours of the game and getting some shut eye, I recall dreaming that I was stuck in some kind of odd fun house version of the Heroes Guild! I was working many long hours during that time in my life, so many of the people in the guild, were distorted versions of co workers, appearing as if they were part human, part animated. I remember one of the guild inhabitants kept tugging at my shirt yelling at me to give him all his money, haha =P An insane dream for sure, but anyone who has ever had any sort of crazy dream, can vouch that there's no limit to how truly bizarre the dream world can be!

What are all these codes and how do you use them?  I always see Sam putting them, and people taking them, and others complaining that they've missed them.  How does one actually use them and what do they do?  Thanks.

Nice articles Smily [:)] But I demand some pictures of the snow and the snowmen / women. Big Smile [:D]

My weirdest Fable dream... I'd say it has to be the one where I dreamed that I was a child (along side the main hero, when he was trying to get his gold coins to buy the b-day present for his sister). I was, I'd say, his nemesis... I tried to get him to commit E v i l [Evil] deeds at every turn, kind of like the kid that tried to get him to break the crates when you had to guard them while the owner was off answering the call of nature. Wink [;)] Except I was with him the entire time, and that little boy from the game was mysteriously missing, like I was taking his place... Anyway, back to the dream... I saw him walking behind the house, near his own, where the cheating husband was... I tried to get him to accept the bribe, and to use that money to buy a slingshot to terrorize the locals (yeah, not sure where the slingshot came from, but it was there o.O), but he refused to accept it and turned him in instead... The next event he went to was the "call of nature" one, he took his spot between the crates and stood completely still, guarding them intensely.. I was determined to get him to destroy something, so I sneaked up and jabbed him in the back with a stick as hard as I could (of course I am a kid in my dream, so as you can imagine it wasn't very hard...), he spun around quickly and snatched the stick from my hands before I could react.. I was ready to be beaten to a pulp, but he simply laughed at me and told me how immature I was being... I ran away, as quickly as I could and hit by the pub. I picked a spot where I could still see him and he could not see me... After the man returned to his crates, the boy headed out to his next deed... He headed up towards the little girl who lost Rosie... He talked with her a bit and headed off to search for the lost bear. He took the path up the hill and found that ugly bully beating on that helpless little boy. He, of course, beat the living daylight out of the bully and got the bear back. The bully ran away and that's when I made my move, I ran in and made my move, determined to foil at least one of his G o o d [Good] deeds... I grabbed Rosie from his hands and made a beeline for the coast. When I got there, I quickly began my work on the bear, ripping its arms and legs off, then moving to the head... I tore it to shreds and threw its remains in the ocean, kicking the water to make it float away before he could get there and  retrieve the pieces. The remains of the bear were about 10 feet out when I heard his footsteps behind me, I turned around just in-time to see his fist about 2 inches from my face. My dream went black and I woke up.....

That was a rather weird dream, especially since I only played a G o o d [Good] guy in Fable... o_O

All of the codes are taken... again.  The odds have to give me something at some point here.

I can't say I've ever had a dream directly or indirectly relating to the Fable games.  At least I don't remember having one.

Fergywan said:

I think the weirdest dream would just be dreaming I was still playing the game. Or just seeing flashes of the game as I closed my eyes. And be like, man I should just go in and finish that part. It should only take me a few minutes. Four hours later, well what can you do.

It wasn't a directly-related dream, but after spending an entire day playing Fable 2 and creating an American football team's worth of children, I went to sleep and dreamt that I had a slew of children.  And they followed me around everywhere like some zombified flock of sheep.  The next few times I played Fable, I abandoned Family #2 and the whiny brats in favor of a new wife- Jenna the cute barmaid in Bowerstone.   Glasses [8)]

,,0,The weirdest dream I had about Fable 2 was caused by that cullis gate in Brightwood tower. I'd been thinking that Garth could probably program it to go to any still existing cullis gate from the old game if he had the knowledge of such a gate. I went to sleep soon after that.

I dreamed that I was my hero stepping through the gate on a quest to protect a Light monk as he spreads the word to a newly discovered area. The area was Hook Coast, but it hadn't changed at all since the old days. The people seemed strange, talking in gurgling voices. At the tavern that night I was awoken by a scream and rushed into the next room to find the monk dead and a Shadow monk standing over him. I killed the monk even as he protested his innocence and went back to bed.

In the morning the cullis gate wasn't working and I was trapped in the town. Talking to people I learned of the time the heroes died and Hook Coast was left to fend for itself. Hints of a new religion that had formed in the area led me to the disused church but I turned up no evidence. That night a mist rolled up onto the town and strange lights could be seen out to sea. I watched in horror as the people all waded out into the water, seemingly drowning. The mist started to choke me and I collapsed.

The next morning everything was as it had been before, people wandering around the town as normal. No-one would confirm what I thought I'd seen that night. I decided to investigate myself, swimming out a little until I found a dive spot and diving under. I found myself face to "face" with a gigantic eye, bigger than me.

As I swam for shore, it rose from the depths. A gigantic sea troll, taking up the entire "screen" of my dream. The mist came from it again, shrouding the town. I ran as far as I could from it, finding myself in the disused church again. There, the ghosts of both monks directed me underground to a chamber where I discovered the Fireheart. Using it as an augmentation in my gun I took on the troll from the heights of the lighthouse, finally killing it and sending a tidal wave over the town.

Freed from the rule of their god, the people of hook coast became much more friendly. The town had the old gambling games from the first game, a fishing job and rods to sell to use in any water, and constant missionaries from the two temples who each had their own little missions to hand out occasionally. It was a great but weirdly vivid dream.,Submit

Weirdest dream I've had about Fable was me, has the hero fighting a giant chicken along with smaller minion chickens who'd fly across the screen much like how they did in Zelda whenever you'd hit them. You'd think that a chicken, even if it were 10 stories tall, wouldn't be as threatening as let's say a Dragon, but this one had a look in its eyes. Revenge that has probably been built up due a history of abuse I've put them through in games like Fable, Fable 2, Zelda and all the Harvest Moon Games. Of course fighting this Giant chicken was hard enough but my brain thought it would be pretty clever if i was naked and moved in slow motion like every other dream I have before the beginning of every school year during High School.

I'd say my weirdest dream was about the Crucible. I had just reached the Hollow Men stage, and instead of them attacking in waves, they all rushed to me together. I tried to fend them off with inferno but they overwhelmed me. I fell to the ground and blocked their blows as best as I could, but eventually I blacked out. Next thing I see is the roof of the Bowerstone Market Inn as my dog awakens me. Determined to get my revenge on the Hollow Men, I head towards the carriage house to get to Westcliff as fast as possible. While walking, I mutter under my breath how I was going to destroy them this time; to my surprise my dog looks at me and says how he hopes that is true, "because getting you out of there was frigging hard". After that the dream kind of drifted away from the Fable II universe (read: I began dreaming about the finals. Not a G o o d [Good] thing).

Woops, codes go fast! Stick out tongue [:P]

So dreams, many dreams offcourse, wierd ones, funny ones, creepy ones too.

But, i cant quit remember, when i first meet Fable (original xbox), the fact that i kicked a chicken lol; y'know, i try my best (in real life) to protect animals, so even worse i cant imagine harming one.

So it makes me curious, when for the first time the game gives me the chance to kick one of that little feather coated animals. Stick out tongue [:P]

Ive dream many times kicking chickens, sometimes it makes me smile, but most of the time makes me feel kinda guilty.

My weirdest fable dream would have to be the one where I am the hero trying to save the world while trying to be G o o d [Good] but no matter what I do people hate me for it. No matter how many G o o d [Good] deeds I preform, people like me less and less, and begin to cheer my downfall. So I become tempted to follow what the people want and not be G o o d [Good] but in the end my conscience is too strong and I realize that the world doesn't need someone who is liked by everyone. It needs someone who will do whats right. It needs a hero.
I have to say it was a pretty strange dream unlike any I've had before.

Hey I'd like to see the picks of the snowman army too!!

Ok so my dream, well it was awhile ago so I can't remember it very well. It was when I did nothing every night but play TLC. I remember my friends and I walking down the street just talking about everyday things and everything was normal. Then all of the sudden the calm summer day was filled with screams of towns people and the sounds of Hobbes and the howls of Balvarine, then all of the sudden when I turn to look at my friends we are all dressed like heros with swords or bows in our hands or lightning sparking from our finder tips ready to save the town from E v i l [Evil]. Then there was a big battle and everyone cheered the heros, then just as quick we were all walking down the street in our normal clothes like nothing happened. Also had a few others like hearing the Fable music and walking through the woods coming accross traveling traders. I think I used to have many Fable dreams while playing TLC.

i have a dream. Yes a fable dream.  I played and finish  fable 1 like 4 or 5 times i loved the game , so when fable 2 was released i in piss my freaking pants,every thing in the game was ok  until i discover one of the most annoying achievements ( at  least to   me ) of  the achievements history in the world :
" T H E   S  H  A   R  P     S   O   O    T    H   E    R "
it was a traumatic journey trying to  get this one.
i read in blogs , forums ,every thing  that i can read .
i try to shoot 3 enemies with every weapon , and i follow all the recommendations :
narrow ways , hollow men , blunderbuss .... and nothing.
i was so angry .
one night i go to bed and start to dream with the  bleep bloop sound
of the achievement , the tomb in the basement of the farm and i was with a pistol.
i woke up .
the time was 4 in the morning.
i turn on the 360 .
i travel to the farm and so
and  i  get the achievement .
i was so unexpected but at the same time so predictable and satisfing ...
fable 2 was the "ability" of give several emotions .

Thanks for the update Sam. I was just wondering yesterday if and what is coming next for the world of Albion.

As far as Fable dreams go, I once dreamed about bartending at Ye Sandgoose. I was working along pouring beers when the hero walked in with his dog. The weird thing was that everyone else in the bar were moving and talking as they would in the real world but the hero his dog, it was the male hero, moved like they do in the game. He got stuck in the doorway for a moment or two and then turned rapidly left and right in efforts to free himself from the corner of the doorway. I ran up to the bar semi-floating over the ground. I asked him what he wanted to drink and he gave me the thumbs up sign. He then proceeded to go through a series of expressions until he started to do the vulgar thrust when the bouncer through him out of the bar.

This was after a particularly long bout of earning money at bartending.

I once had a dream (more like a nightmare!) that I my Fable 2 disk was gone and I couldn't find it.  It was quite odd.  Not much of a Fable 2 dream I know, but it is true!

GuruUnlimited said:

Somewhat of a spoiler but I'll remain vague for the sake of those who haven't reached that part in the game!

The section where you shoot bottles, kill beetles, and kick chickens into the pen -- I had a dream of almost exactly the same scene.  More particularly about the certain other someone accompanying with you in that part.

Also had a dream about the regular slummish-life of lil Sparrow and Rose, before the game would actually take place.  I think that would be an excellent area to see expanded on, although it may not be the utmost exciting.

my dream:

it was about me, litterally in my own heroes' eyes (dont know if this is fable 1 or 2, this was when I found out about fable 2, and I had the first one already)
and I found Jack of Blades, crying like a baby (yet it wasn't his usuall voice for some reason...) so I went up to him and kicked him, and then he just randomly changed into my lil brother, and once after that, he popped like a balloon (my lil brother is kinda fat) and then I just woke up.

yea I know, the dream had no point to it but it seemed really funny when I thought about it a few minutes later

The weirdiest dream I had was in Albion, I was inside my game avatar, but something was different... I was E v i l [Evil] and I didnt change into G o o d [Good] person by giving gold to beggar... also when I destroy Bowerstone, it was still destroyed next time I return there... I was really desperate, because I wasnt able to fix my wrong decisions or to change my playstyle without affecting world just for fun... what a crazy dream

The weirdest dream I had in Fable was that the Bronze Gate would open and unleash all of E v i l [Evil] stored in it. Including Jack of Blades, even though Oakvale her threw his mask into the lava already. The E v i l [Evil] consisting of all the creatures that he killed but when he confronts all of the E v i l [Evil]. They run back inside the Gate.

My subconscious is just about the worst storyteller in the history of the world, stringing together bits of random, irrelevant information relating to my life.

My weirdest Fable-related dream happened just last night...

It was a windy, rainy day and I remember vaguely being in Albion, probably in the pastures of Oakfield. I was nonchalantly carrying a sword, hacking away at beetles, when a voice rang out from behind me. I turned around to see it was my mum, calling me in to bed. Naturally I resist, running off with sword in hand to see what other hobbes or balverines I could get my hands on.

After running alone in the rain for a G o o d [Good] few minutes, I dropped my sword and tripped over a rock, and from the road ahead a traveller came and picked me up. I looked up to get a glimpse of who the G o o d [Good] Samaritan that came to my rescue was, and it appeared to be one of my best mates at school.

He took me to his home a few miles away in a carriage of his, and had me rest in his bed. After a few hours of boredom, curiosity needling away at my flesh, I snuck out of the bed while my mate was off chopping wood and headed towards the beautiful pasture of a garden that belonged to his property.

As I advanced towards the garden, I heard faint voices talking. Alarmed, I snuck behind a large oak tree and peered over in curiosity to find the source of the voices. Lo and behold, Hal, the warrior of legend (although in a much more technologically-minded garb akin to the Spartan MJOLNIR armour from Halo 3), sat beneath a tree talking to what seemed like a boy donning a gas mask, a drill for an arm, and spiky, red hair. Their voices faint and indistinct, the conversation could not be made out clearly.

And as the hour approached, my friend's home, the pasture, Hal and the boy, all of it vanished as my mind found itself in another home - my bedroom, the hour before school was to start.

Shame! I would've loved to have heard the details of Hal's conversation...

I almost S**T myself, but it was fun to fell like I was actually fighting but there was a sense of Deja Vu as the battle was exactly like my first time in Fable TLC (I won by the way).

What is the weirdest dream I ever had about Fable or Fable II?

I was in Bowerstone Oldtown killing off people while wearing the chicken suit and decided I was done. I went to a hidden place so I could take off the suit so no one would know it was me, but I couldn't take it off.

Lol reading some of those "dreams" sounds so stupid, people making up obvious BS because they want some free DLC, pretty pathetic, and obviously fake.

I never had a fable 2 dream.
but once i had a fable one dream. It was so long ago I can't really remember it. I think it was just about walking in the bridge of Greatwood lake and I saw bandits and a treasure chest chest. It was very weird...

P.S. If you choose me Sam, my e-mail is jragawin_12@hotmail.com (I changed recently) and could I have Pub game code please? I need the last expression T_T

A dream that I have had about Fable took place in Fable 2 before I bought the game! For some odd reason I knew what to expect and  everything in my dream. I had the clothes pictured in my dream and had the weapon (a cutlass for some reason) that glitered off the sun. It was like I lived it before playing it.
        I was in Bowerstone following someone I thought I knew and then all I could see was the Crowd cheering me on to find the person I was following. I do not remember if their was a name involved or not but, she had a hood. I know I wasn't thinking of Theresa because I hadn't seen her before I played the game. She went into the woods, so I follow with my trusty companion (who was dark brown in my dream) but as soon as I reached the entrance to the woods everything went dark like when you approach Skorms Temple in Fable 1, which is probly how I thought of that part. Anyway I look into the woods and see her staring at me, she doesn't move and doesn't say anything. My companion races toward her not as if he was going to attack but like when you get home and your dog is standing at the front door waiting type run, and as soon as my dog reaches the lady he falls over. I dont think he died but just got knocked out. I move in toward her, she steps back, so I tried again, and she moved backed. Every move toward her was a worthless attempt. Without thought I ran towards her as fast as I could but she didnt move so I stopped confused. I start to walk and she still doesnt move so I thought now it was time to find out who this person was and as soon as I approached her she kept her head down. I reach to take off her dirty red hood to find Scarlet Robe as old as could be. She looks at me and says something in a soft voice, I can't remember what exactly she said but if was something about living life. Anyway, 2 seconds later she as I reach out to hold her she turns into Dust blowing away in the dark abandoned woods. As I watch the dust stuff fly away I thought I saw a Figure of Jack of Blades between some trees (that part is a little hazy).
         As soon as I see Jack my alarm goes off and I get the nerdiest feeling in the whole world! I have told a couple people of this dream but its the same LOL reaction everytime. I dont care, at the time it seemed stupid but now it makes me think I have somewhat of an imagination. Got To Love Dreams!!!

Sam thanks for all the work you and the lionhead team has done and is still doing!

my weirdest dream i had about fable:

i was in fable, and i was  running around, kicking chickens and what not. then i started to run through the forest (not sure which. i didn't see any signs in the dream) and i found this ugly bum, he started talking to me, but i couldn't understand what he was saying. then he pointed towerds a big red tree, i went to it an written onn it was a code, it consisted a combination of letters and numbers, to forum a 25 character code, it looked alot like this SGHK2-JKDS7-DSFSA-88AJN-NW79S .. then a guy walked up to me saying what the code was for, he said if i used it at some type of redeeming station, it would give me something special, but before i could redeem the code, i woke up.... Sad [:(]

the end... it was weird..

Weirdest Fable dream was quite simple:  I dreamed I used the "Come back to my place" expression on my wife.  My real wife.  No words - just that hand gesture and the associated mumbling.  I realized it was a dream and woke up when I got a canned "I'd never say no to you, darling" response and it worked!!

weirdest fable dream ... hm, oh, yeah, I actually had one:
I was in foreign place visiting some friends, but for some reasons they were mad at me. So I started dancing an whistleing around until they cheered for me and liked me again.
Not that spectacular, but it was quite funny doin' the "Russian-Dance" for applause.

I dreamed I was in the center of Bowerstone market.  A man approached and said, "I'll give you a code that will reserve you a seat aboard the next schooner to Knothole Island, /and/ I'll throw in some Pub Games if you dance naked in the center of town."

After weighing the pros and cons, my desperation for downloadable content led me to agree.  Quickly the Hero stripped off his robe, tantalizingly did he drop his noble trousers.  And soon I stood shivering in the center of town, down to his heart-checkered boxers, the citizenry groaning in pain as they saw my naked fat.  And I did the Cossack dance, not too fast or rough - just perfect.

But then, a guard in the distance heard the screams of the citizenry and started running!  I managed to get off one last vulgar thrust, unlocking an achievement before being dragged to jail!  Suddenly, my fame skyrocketed!  The nation was stunned at the Hero's seeming decent into madness!  Some loyal fans though attributed it to great courage and a public protest against some form of corruption or another.  So they paid off the indecency charge and I got away buck free.

There was a huge crowd the day of my release.  I walked out into the streets, self-conscious of the way my boxers wrinkled against my thighs as the people mumbled and pointed.  A young lass stepped out of the crowd and handed me my gear.  Like a true hero, I sexily dressed to great applause.  Upon seeing this reaction, the guards tried to quell the uproarious crowd.  Being unable to, they had no choice but to kick me out of town.

And so, I spent the rest of my days dancing half-naked for rabbit and troll alike.  I never did get my codes from that man.

I dreamed I could be the red demon on the cover... if I sacrificed everyone in the marketplace but I just made the town barren and... lifeless but with a single barman to serve me drinks for a job well done... but would luck have it...he kept running away from me. I lost five three wives that day Sad [:(] . My fable 2 life was empty and only with Thag's head on the wall to greet me but soon the whole town repopulated and life was G o o d [Good] again. I never found that barman...

I dreamed that I was the competiting with my in game character, to do G o o d [Good] deeds but I had enought of him so I provocated him to a duel, from there we performed some crazy moves I got cut many times so did he, I kind of won the fight as we were covered in blood and I took his sword of his hand, he then was still trying to attack but I countered but realise how brave he was so I locked him on the floor said I will leave so he has to be the greatest.
pretty weird but that a dream.

I once dreamed that I sat down one evening and had a drink with a particular character in Fable2.  After a few beers, the character opened up and said he was sick of waiting for people to actually notice him and thanked me for a taking him on what was his first excursion since he had been in Albion.  He said, "Thank ye you furry monkey."  I asked him why people didn't notice him and his reply was that he was like a fly on a wall......he was, a Gargoyle.

Weirdest dream would have to be back in the Fable 1 days. That giant bee/wasp like creature literally haunted my dreams one night. It wasn't so much a fable orientated dream but that creature was following me and attacking me throughout my entire dream. I remember it chasing me into my highschool and just blasting open the doors. No matter how fast I ran I could not out run it. I really wish I got to finish the dream but my alarm went off for school and woke me up.

My dream...... Hmmmm its not the best or most interesting but i was wondering around bowerstone market looking for the greatest sword i could find (due to my lust for power) when i came across the first few of villagers they were drunk. So i moved on came across the second set of villagers, they were also drunk. So i thought this was strange, i searched around for the source of this drunkenness. And came across another hero giving out beer to everyone. I asked him "Why do you give beer to everyone and make them so drunk" he responded "Im a party animal".

Enjoy and fingers crossed a code will be mine

Little_Sparrow said:

Okay, I had an amazingly strange dream during my epic wait for the game. The dream started like many dream's do past the beginning with no middle. If that makes sense. Anyway, in my dream I saw the main character as a child in a strange colourful modern town, holding a lance and accompanied by a friend. I walked around and shortly found a bumper car, I began a large speed chase across the town bumping into my comrade, the dream ended shortly after. When I awoke i was like "Wtf, I need therapy o.o"

GerethBR said:

Funny you should ask. I stopped playing fable 2 for a while after the dreams I started having.

My first character was played with no G o o d [Good] or E v i l [Evil] choices in mind, I just did what I felt was right using in the game the values which had been tought to me by my parents. I'm happy to say I was a G o o d [Good] character in the end.

Wanting to unlock achievements and to experience the game in it's entirety I started a second character, deciding to do the very opposite choices from my previous one. Afterplaying a day or two I started feeling profoundly disturbed by my characters deeds. I even had nightmares about the game, where  in them I could see the character's actions in game and would dissaprove of them and try to make amends after he had left.

Suffice to say I deleted that character shortly after.... being E v i l [Evil] just doesn't sound right to me after all.

I had a dream I was at a gaming convention back before Fable 2 was released, and I got to meet Sam and Peter and I got their autographs, and then I got to play some Fable 2 afterward. I woke up and told my girlfriend about it and she laughed and called me the biggest nerd ever. I then started playing Fable 1 again, to tide me over.

Hey Sam,
Not sure if it counts as a dream, but I was spending one of my first nights playing Fable II, choppin' some wood and trying to score a five-star rating and earn some cash.  I went to sleep that night and had that wood chopping meter appear everytime I closed my eyes.

I will tell you my dream, but stop deleting my comments admin.....I have used little profanity, and have not insulted enyone(except of course you; for ignoring me and deleting my comments, even though people still comment on them, and they have to be answered, know that I will call, and you like microsoft and Bungie will answer to the TECH), and I would like to state that, "enyone can win a battle, but it takes some special to win a war".




I had a dream, it was a strange dream, I was playing a version of Fable much better then the one at present, I found iteams and characters from a land afar. Unlocking achievements for battles and lands seen, when I was attacked with uproar of men in ancient armour and malous to match. I took all I had to finish the battle, but in the aftermath of the battle I found a woman, who had seemed awd by my skill, and tried to ask for my help in deeds left undone, when a man in leather apraoched me and asked me what I was, I lied and told him I was a jester from a land afar, ment to spred humor to this land of dark. He did not believe me, but took me by honor.....and that is is the end of my dream, though it was short, I awoke with a stir, at 3 in the morning....
