Fable 2 Development

   

"My perfect man" says Imogen (+codes)

Published Monday, July 13, 2009 3:15 PM by Woody
 Once in a while our Webmaster kicks into action and goes through the mountain of emails she received from the public. The odd one gets forwarded to the rest of the company either because it's just too funny, too stupid or too interesting not to. The last one we received was more a request and one that I'd like to address publicly.

But first; I know some of you solely read the Lionhead Blog in order to get some freebies (see below)! I believe it is Sam who started this tradition actually. So once you spot that a blog-entry has some XBLA codes in it most of you won't even bother to read the thing!  Well I want to give this entry a bit of a one of twist for the people who do read it. In the codes I've swapped every 'Q' with an 'L', so you'll have to do the opposite in order to make 'em work!

Now then; for most people one of the most intriguing characters in Fable II is Reaver. Not surprising as he is very flamboyant, mysterious and generally a cheeky fella which is something people find either charming or interesting. But for Imogen B., who send us the email that sparked all this, it is apparently <quote> my perfect man </quote>!

from: Imogen B.
Sent to: Lionhead Webmaster

Hello Lionhead! Thank you for creating Fable. Anyway, i was wondering. I heard somewhere that the character of Reaver didn't originally look like the end product in the game. Not that i am complaining, i think you created my perfect man. Could you please post, if you still have it, the Reaver concept art? I have been DYING to see it. Thank you!! xxxxx

And without further adue  here it is, especially for Imogen and of course for all of you! Created by one of our very talented concept artist Mike McCarthy, never seen before; the Reaver concept drawings! <crowd cheers>





And then the codes for See the Future game add-on for Fable II that were promised:

<all codes have been used, better luck next time.>


Apart from this I have no breaking news to report unfortunately. But we'll be back with some revelations very soon!

All codes gone. Blimey, that was quick!

All codes invalid, rather than already been used. They haven't been activated?

You gotta read the blog in order to make the codes work, fools!

Thurar said:

Got it! But I do not know what code ... Smily [:)]

Great post, especially the last sentence. I can't wait to see what's new!
July 13, 2009 11:59 AM
 

ElTipejoLoco said:

Actually, it didn't work on the 360 despite the change, Shisou, hence my reaction at still getting an "invalid" instead of "already used". Maybe I made a typo.

Ah well. G o o d [Good] show.

I have this Add-On..hm, bab luck he? More luck for the others here. Smily [:)]

AaronGrinnell said:

i don't get it... i read the blog but can't seem to understand how to get the codes to work.
July 13, 2009 12:24 PM
 

ElTipejoLoco said:

Paragraph 2 is the key.

That aside, it's possible at least one of the codes may not work despite the use of said key, as was in my experience.
July 13, 2009 12:33 PM
 

AaronGrinnell said:

yeah i did what it says but it still said invalid key entered. there has to be something missing.
July 13, 2009 12:37 PM
 

AaronGrinnell said:

the reaver to the bottom right of the 1 that says don't be absurb is pretty cool.
July 13, 2009 12:47 PM
 

AaronGrinnell said:

could someone help me find a code? I come on the blogs all the time usually around 6pm so i'm always too late lol this is the first time i'm actually on at the right time so it would be nice to actually get a code.

G o o d [Good] strat to make people read the post.  All codes seem to be gone thou.

EvilOlaf said:

Argh, thwarted once more.  I'll get you DLC.  I'm keeping an eye out for you.  

Some very Bowie looking Reavers there.

If the revelations are anything to do with shoving the DLC, online only items and patches on a disc for those of us who still can't get a web connection, then count me in. Hell, even if they're not about that, promise you'll consider it? I'd pay £15-£25 for the Limited Edition downloads (still holding on to my codes just in case), the two big DLC packs, Pub Games, the items for the chest in the Chamber of Fate, a video of the painful death of whoever decided the game would only be complete for people with web access, plus the current patches of course. Hell, I'd buy the game again at £40 if you guys packaged it with all that.
It's G o o d [Good] enough for Bethesda to do with every game they've ever dragged out of their game engines so why not G o o d [Good] old Lionhead with the much more fun Fable 2? /rant style mumblings

RadicalDylan said:

Sweet, i finally made it in time for once (JXLTY-TTD26-ML26P-TLRVJ-PR48B), even though i'm posting extremely late...
I was so excited when i got it working, that i dropped everything and played the DLC for 3 hours straight... currently working on the dye achievement...
But now I came back and posted, you all rule!

Now if only i could get the first DLC, and the pub games one, i missed them when they were blogged... Sad [:(]

Reaver wearing a powdered wig, so hilariously stupid.

RonnieIsLegend said:

I usually just buy the DLC so when I come to see the new blogs I want new DLC lol!
I can't wait to hear what new revelations you guys have.

I love it! I hope you can release more concept art. Us artists like to see what we're competing against to get that swanky LH job =]

Reaver's such a stud muffin <3
July 13, 2009 11:17 PM
 

majorfalcon said:

God, Reaver might be a chauvinistic punk, but hes got a G o o d [Good] sense of self-confidence and self-worth. Thats why I love him...even though he beat me to Lucien on my first playthrough.

Also...May I please have a code? <insert very sad face here> hehe.
July 14, 2009 12:12 AM
 

ErodeTheSoul said:

Gah! I'm never going to get to play StF Sad [:(] Stupid job market....


Anyway, the Reaver in the upper right corner is made of pure win. Had he been the character model, I might not have had such an intense urge to shoot him in the face

Naahw! Missed out on a code again (and again ... and again)! Nice drawings there. I also wonder, what the "revelation" will be about.
July 14, 2009 3:54 AM
 

Woody said:

All the codes are gone now, sorry for all of you who didn't get one, better luck (and be a bit faster) next time! ;-)

ErodeTheSoul said:

@kingtiger287: $8 is a lot of money these days, especially for those of us who have recently been laid off. Gotta make due with what you have, and that doesn't leave a lot of room for buying game things. So, it's either free or nothing for some of us Wink [;)]
July 15, 2009 12:41 PM
 

kingtiger287 said:

@ErodeTheSoul:
well if you've been laid off, why are you playing games? 0_o

but i see what you're saying Stick out tongue [:P]
July 16, 2009 1:25 PM
 

ErodeTheSoul said:

@kingtiger287
Heh, well....I actually have time to play now that I don't have to work Stick out tongue [:P]
The job search is on, but it's slow going. All I can do is submit resumes and hope for the best. I see no problem with playing games while hope-ing Wink [;)]

All I want is the Hal armor I wait and wait for it, but I can never get it Sad [:(] It would be nice if I could get the code for it, that would make my day.

CASHERN said:

i think you definitely need to reward the loyal fan who pre-ordered & purchased ur fable 2 LCE with free content & stuff ... I feel violated that your giving free stuff to first come first serve when i paid G o o d [Good] money for fable 2 LCE with no hobbe or cool cards or tin box & both the add ons...         Does my loyalty mean nothing           ... PRE-OWNED IS THE WAY FORWARDS ... Don’t get me wrong i love fable 2 but you dont earn money for pre-owned sales
July 20, 2009 9:27 PM
 

CASHERN said:

ps can i have a 1600 microsoft points refund please & wasn’t the LCE content meant to be for owners of the LCE fable 2 ie not the normal copies of fable 2 ------- please write back to me
July 20, 2009 10:01 PM
 

Archaon666 said:

i didn't like reaver as a character, because i couldn't beleive him for one very G o o d [Good] reason: I was Hearing Stephen Fry's voice, and i couldn't get over that.  every time he talks, i just hear stephen fry reading lines.

it's quite annoying actually, it ruins one of the best parts of the game
July 25, 2009 4:42 AM
 

Jon2806 said:

can i have a code please? =P
July 25, 2009 2:22 PM
 

fablerockshard said:

where is the news?
July 25, 2009 11:34 PM
 

ash356 said:

@Cashern
Can you please stop begging and whinging, loads of people brought the LE and they're not whinging. I don't even see what your point is as they're not giving out LE codes so your argument is henceforth void.
As for 1600 points refund, well, thats pathetic... do you want them to give everyone a refund for DLC? Do math as well, it doesn't even come to 1600 MS points anyway
Back to topic; Reaver was actually the characther i hated, i hate anyone like that who cons and betrays you like that, and after he stole *Spoiler* well, you know*SPoiler* from me, i felt like killing him 5 times over. Stephen Fry is a legend thoughStick out tongue [:P]
July 27, 2009 7:09 AM
 

Doglover7 said:

I both liked and disliked Reaver. I liked him *the character* because I thought that along with Lord Lucien played the perfect role of being the antithesis of everything that I as a "G o o d [Good]" main character am. He's the kind of person who when you first meet him is somewhat charming, but in a very slimy kind of way (in other words like most con men). Then, as the story progresses and you learn more and more about him, the more and more you are repulsed by him and are often wondering why you even need someone as disgusting as him and when it's over you're glad that he's left and you hope to never see him again.
As a "bad" main character you somewhat are impressed by how crafty and conniving he is and in some ways look up to him as a role model. Then he goes and does something that totally makes you want to kill him a thousand times over and wish the story could go on without him...

alexisrose said:

You know what would be fun? I count down clock for what ever "revelation" is coming.
August 1, 2009 7:12 PM

i agree with alexisrose a count down would be awesome

DLC! DLC! DLC! DLC! DLC!!!

Give us the Northern Wastes, Samarkand, Hook Coast, Aurora, ANYTHING!!!! New weapons (Flail, Hammer, Club, Knife, Halberd), new augments (Rocketeer!!! Rocketeer!!! Check the forums), and a very, very, very, very hard dungeon you only can get in through a Demon Door that requires you to have 5000+ kills with one weapon, then if you manage to reach the end you get a chance to a: rename your now Legendary weapon, and b: Choose a skin for it (Bereaver, Harbinger, Avo's Tear, Swords of Aeons, Solus Greatsword, Rammer, Enforcer, Perforator, Custom ones for the new weapontypes, etc) and customise the trimcolor.

it would be cool if the 'revelation' thing could be a DLC that actually takes more than 20 minutes to beat
