Please please please leave really broad British acsents in like the Yorkshire lads or the gordies. It'll be a nice change from the same American voice in every other game in the world.

Secondly you've got toough compatition when it come to celebraties, Oblivion did have Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean in. Big British names with Sharp and that guy from Star Trek. But hey Fable 1 was better than Oblivion if you ask me so Fable 2 will be soooooo much better.

Nooo! Take me with you! or at least film enough of it to use in that music/audio-centric diary I know is coming at some point...

I really wanna know about game audio techniques, as surely they must differ from cartoons or film VA! Make a note of what mics the used, how many, what format it was recorded to........I'll shut up now...

I just hope they ask us to give some ideas to put in the game cause I have a few ideas like when you have a kid you can also choose to leave him at an orthanage or sell him on the streets which would give you alignment.

Thanks for the update. I am really looking forward to finding out who these actors are.35,000 lines is Pretty impressive, I'll be looking forward to hearing them. This game is becoming more and more like a huge christmas present, and I feel more and more like a kid who is awaiting ever so anxiously to open it and see what's inside.

I hope we'll see(or hear) the return of Simon Greenall in Fable2, if so, make him do the Geordie accent from 'I'm Alan Partridge', that would be both fantastic and great.

Hard life eh Sam?

While you are swanning about in London meeting our voice actors for the sole purpose of videoing it, we are slogging away at work doing late nights to get the game ready for Peter to play :-(

Still, at least i was in charge of choosing the Hero Titles and how they unlock :-)

Is that a hint of the use of capes?

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

esseffem — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 08:47:25 GMT

That's exciting news! I'm hoping madly that there's an actor and actress for a possible hero voice set--that is, actual lines, as opposed to the maybe 8 words or so he utters in Fable.

Will there be similar treatment for the soundtrack? A big name, I mean--I think just about everyone loved the theme by Danny Elfman in the original. Not to downplay Russell Shaw's work--he expanded and made some great music from the theme, but of course Danny's piece was pretty vital as a basic framework.

mcpaddyb — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 22:18:33 GMT

I like the mystery of you characters voice. Same applies to Oblivion and Saint's Row. If your character has a set voice then you kind lose you attachment to him/her because then its not you in the game its some random guy you've never met. Saying that i was stupidly attached to my Morrowind character and though he was my child or something ridiculous, but i did ot really feel that in oblivion which was a shame because to me thats what makes an RPG. with out attachment you might as well play a format level game or a shoot em up.

Sorry about the extended sentences and rambling but them again you'll probably just see the length of this and not both reading it.

P.S I felt the attachment in Fable 1 and i also felt obliged to protect the NPC's, how odd.

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

esseffem — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 22:55:23 GMT

You make an excellent point.

I would agree to no voice at all provided one thing--character customization! The thing in Fable was that your character generally looked the same facially, forgetting the hair, beard, and physical build qualities which were more like Mr. Potato Head accessories to apply to one dummy as disguise rather than identity. That's why I desired a more clear cut voice--I liked my hero, no doubt, but I wasn't super connected anyway, he was someone I knew rather than me so wanted a voice in that case.

If I were able to customize my character more extensively in Fable 2, then a voice wouldn't be necessary in my mind.

JasonRdz — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 23:46:29 GMT

yea that sounds cool but STAVES would be cooler for will users sorry if im mentioning STAVES too much but i jsut want them in the game so badly! and um they making women Hero's ? (awsome)

Chemical O — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:47:00 GMT

Awesome picture, and great news about titles. I love that you have to unlock the better ones through quest and not just pay for them.

You should get Ian McKellen to do voice work. Screw Professor X(Patrick Stewart), I want Magneto.

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

mcpaddyb — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:15:59 GMT

Ian Mckellen and Paddy Stewart are both cool. The dude who plays Snape would be cool as well. I cant remeber the name but you know who i mean. and yeh Sean Connery would be mint!

P.S JavaJive, is the Xiahuo Dun of Dynasty Warriors? Coz he cool, but he aint got nout on Dan wei and Gan yu

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

SurgeryDocDavid — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:02:48 GMT

He only said 20 Hero titles available. There were 19 in fable 1, shouldn't it of been 200 in fable 2, and not 20?

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

mcpaddyb — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:31:45 GMT

200, i think, would be far too hard and arduous to trall through them all to find the one you want, i thought chickenchaer and arseface were fine.

while im here i might as well say that i think your face shape should change due to your skills/attributes, alignment, and even perhaps experiences eg if you marry or get killed to many times. but of course htis will have come in far to late as Peter Molyneux is testing over the christmas hols which is now.

NO AMERICAN ACCENTS. AT ALL. PLZ.

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

SfK-Pyro — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:28:53 GMT

Fealiks, what's worng with american accents?! whatever, just put some australian in there to cover up the enormous amount of British...

and only 20 titles!? seriously?! why not just take a new thread and say "we are looking for 40 new titles, and you can make em!"

seriously I can think of 50 great titles as I am sure plenty of other people can, you could have 100+ titles on your hands, although it would be hard to work into the game unless you use the old buy a title system- which didn't make that much sense

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

humanite — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:52:53 GMT

they said there was going more than 20 titles so people wouldn't know exactly how much

keyblademaster07 — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:35:39 GMT

1 tital people could earn would be stalker you would earn it following the same NPC for a certain time

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

keyblademaster07 — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:43:38 GMT

I'v got the BEST idea EVER!!!!!! when your Pure you should get angel wings and when your pure you should get those Demon wings the ones that look like redish black dragon wings with holes in them you would not even have to be able to fly because it would still look cool

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

wolfmaster — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 19:07:37 GMT

i think this is quite nonsense..

hero titles in fable 1 were cool. but i think that the best idea could be don't be able to choose yours..
i Think statistics could let the people choose your title, or special mission like beat every enemy in the arena..or by killing hundred of balverines and go around showing their head, or paying a bard to sing some special stories..i think the idea of the town crier is great.

sorry for my english

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

Makey2007 — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 19:29:48 GMT

make a variety of titles and specific

what i mean is even though fable1 titles had no revelance

stalkers , ckicken chaser worked

also if you enjoy killing a certain animal

i always wanted to be called the balverine-slayer Because of thier importance it was fun to have that reputation

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

Makey2007 — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:16:22 GMT

hey just thought add a feature of admirers
it would work seriously
Also different types of lovers:
gold-diggers
i'll-be-there-4-u-when-ur-down
childhood sweathearts
stalkers

Think about its better than pink hrt red hrt gold hrt and ring

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

Makey2007 — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 12:25:17 GMT

love that you can have children

always wanted it
can you put a feature that we can interact with chairs and stuff

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

Fealiks — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:53:00 GMT

SfK-Pyro, I loved all of the english accents in fable, they made it special. That's my view. And I'm a selfish ***. But I do agree that we should DO A COMMUNITY CALL FOR TITLES

Also, I agree with wolfmaster that titles should be decided by statistics, not the player (unless it's both; as in it's based on statistics but you can buy too...).

COMMUNITY CALL FOR HERO TITLES

COMMUNITY CALL FOR HERO TITLES

COMMUNITY CALL FOR HERO TITLES

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES MAKE ME COOL

COMMUNITY CALL FOR HERO TITLES

COMMUNITY CALL FOR HERO TITLES

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

Sam — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:55:24 GMT

Ehm Fealiks you do know that we've already done two community calls for hero titles and that we can't add anymore at this stage, really! It's not so much how many there are (we can all think of a 1001 titles) but more about making sure we have something that fits the game perfectly. And think about how many lines of dialogue need to be recorded....

re: On the topic of Hero Titles

SfK-Pyro — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:31:00 GMT

just get those freeloadin testers to do the diaolauge for names, haha...

and the insult the hero was for only one title, as was the other community call (lionheart)

why not just have a top twenty, and everything that is submittited has a chance to be voted for! And then you guys could choose about 5 or 10 of them and we are happy!

I really think 20+ titles isn't that much, even though that is generall, putting plus to something means not that much after it, so like 21-27? or I hope you are being very secretive and are just saying that so we won't know how much titles there are and we are to be kept in the dark

and are you guys using the old, buy a title, system? or are you going to do it like the Paladin hero title, and make us have to unlock it?

I realy liked the titles of Fable 1.
And am sure you'll have great titles for Fable 2, I just cant wait.

Can't wait!

My 2 cents about titles...
Use the Microsoft pronunciator robot! You can type in your phonetic name and have it be whatever you want! Just in a robot voice.

"Oh my gods, you saved my life! I am forever in your debt and will never forget you, [robotvoice] Taco Paul the Delicious [/robotvoice]! Will you allow me to name my first born after you?!"

ScorpionT7 — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 23:02:31 GMT

sam's right, having a lot of titles would call for a ridiculous amount of lines, just for people saying your title. if there were more than 100, i would think that title dialogues would take up about 10% or more of all dialogue.
