Sam, THANK YOU! It was worth the 18 month (?!) wait since I initially asked for it! Very informative, especially the part about the transitions between Ambient Layers.

But the Slovak Symphony? Were they cheaper than our own?

Hey Sam, in the video diaries i've seen some cool posters hanging around, advertisement posters for the world of fable. Like the silence your woman poster, and the oic of the guy with a chicken on his head...they look great! Is there any way you might be able to release those pics online so I can print them up?

I just had to Create an account after watching this diary to ask.... is that Ron Glass from firefly right at the end doing voice acting?

Because if it is, wow 1up for Lionhead for being so awesome

I could be behind the times on this and everyone probably knows whether or not it is but yeah it lessened the blow about the LE a bit

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

stu_fargher — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:43:28 GMT

So.. I've been aware for a while that Stephen Fry and Zoe Wanamaker are providing voices for the game.... but getting to see them in action is just..! oh, it makes me really giddy. Especially seeing Stephen Fry who's voice I am using as the basis for the British accent I am using for a production of Jekyll & Hyde (The Musical) that I am working on. Really, it's just lovely to see that man in work. Thank you Lionhead!

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

Hobsik — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:44:59 GMT

I've just finished watching it. Amazing, I think it's the best one so far, the music is magical and the voices are lovely.
Thanx once again

Sam, great vid

Of topic: Hobsik, were did you get that image?

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

moonfever — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:58:02 GMT

Thank you, well worth the wait. It was so wonderful to watch the Orchestra, and discuss over 9,000 sound effects. And the Actors were fun to watch.
The best one yet.

It honestly gave me goosebumps. I'm so excited for this game.

I can't wait for Fable 2 thanks for the new Diary about time to and thanks for it and this blog!

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

sebring8259 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:50:01 GMT

@Stu20 That's a great idea. I'd love to have a collection of every advertisement made for Fable 2 be available for download. Cheers!

Sgt_George125 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:14:59 GMT

Well done Lionhead, Stephen Fry is an Amazing Person, Actor, Writer, Comedian and director. Great Job ;-)

I'm pretty sure the cards that appears on that guy's screen for a second are fate card placeholders.

These would be the same fate cards we would have received in the limited edition. Basically, when you create a character, you can choose to answer questions that determine what kind of character you are.

This is very similar to Ultima iX which had a similar question system and also had a collector's edition that came with the cards as well.

amirite?

That was a great diary Sam, I especially liked the bit with the voice actors at the end.

Thanks for the new video, Sam I have been waiting to long for it. ^.^

Raiyell — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:47:17 GMT

Thanks a bunch! I love watching voice recording sessions. Also, can you tell us if the music in the video is all in the game? I loved that last piece that seemed almost Irish (sorry if this is just my american-ness coming through. I mean no offense if it is actually English).

nice video i very much enjoyed tha last bit in the studio room

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

countdowntoxmas — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:24:50 GMT

I loved it !
although it seemed pretty short to me.... but that is probably because I loved it so much..... I would've liked to see an interview with peter about the sound though.

thanks sam!

Mumpert9 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:53:15 GMT

thanks samuel anyone know the actress who plays theresa.. i have seen her before

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

mkw515 — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:20:20 GMT

"How many sound clips are in Fable II?"
"There's OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!"
"What 9000!?!"

Throwing8smokes — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:45:04 GMT

Beautifully done. The music brought tears to my eyes!

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

stu_fargher — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 01:25:42 GMT

Mumpert9- The actress voicing Theresa is Zoe Wanamaker. She hasn't worked on anything that would make her name a household item, but she's been in a few things. She played Madame Hooch in the Harry Potter films (those movies have a lot of great British actors who tend to be unknown to the North American audiences), she was also in the Stephen Fry film about Oscar Wilde which was titled "Wilde". And if you ever had the chance to see the 1999 BBC adaptation of David Copperfield, she played Jane Murdstone. She's a great actress but as I said, not a common household name.

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

SfK-Pyro — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 05:03:52 GMT

really an oscar wilde movie? ineresting.

but Im kinda wondering if Sam will be able to muster out another video diary before fable 2's release...

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

thejake1233 — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 05:41:11 GMT

Music sounds pretty cool. the regal one kinda reminds me of castlevania, but i guess that makes sense being that most of castlevania takes place in a castle.

i know you guys put up with a lot of whining to get that diary out (and i know i whined a lot to get it out) but it is really cool that you listen to your fans and what they are looking forward to. Thanks for going through the trouble to create, edit, and distribute. You guys rock!

re: Lionhead Video Diary 7

wivvix — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:56:08 GMT

Awesome. That was so interesting and informative. I'm surprised to learn most of the sound effects were created by human voices. Surely it can't be that expensive to source actual weapons?

Did anyone else jump and get creeped out when they heard the new Balverine howl....I sure did and I didn't even have the T.V. turned up. Also it was daylight out.....
