So it is still called Lady Grey's Castle? But she died 500 years ago... So why would it be named after her? I got the impression from Fable 1 that she was not particularily liked...

In Florence there is a place called the Pitti Palace, the Pitti family was kicked out of Florence after a failed highwaymen style take over of the number one family in Florence. And about 500 years later it is still called the Pitti Palace, (I know this story because my wife’s grandmother was a Pitti.) So a guess wealth is more importent then being liked.

I'm just curious of what you mean by 'under'. Do you mean underneath, as in physically below, or underneath as in Bowerstone is on a bit of an incline and the rest of the world is 'under' it according to the science of altitude?

does it have to be a town from F1? maybe it was just an example of how things changed over time from small cottages to crowded streets. i mean, it just looks like a little farm house on the side of a road. maybe it will be in F2, but that doesnt mean that it was in F1. i mean we have so much more space in F2 that we were restricted from in F1. it could have been there in F1, but that doesnt mean that it was an accessable area. there were other places, i'm sure, with other people, but we just never got to them and they didnt play any part in the F1 story or even gameplay.

I suppose it could be like orchard farm or something, but again, I dont think we saw this area in F1.

he mentioned it for us to talk about it hopefully not for laughs but so we can reach a conclusion on our own.

I think it cants be orchard farms for it wasnt a wooded area.

also Ive come to the conclusion Brightwood is simply a city in greatwood.

Also I read a article on the teaser and it showed pictures of how the type of lamp changed over time and the evolution of this town. It clearly was around during Fable 1 maybe or maybe not we where able to be there. it could be Windmill hill only area I could think of... Maybe windmill hill is Bright wood

3. There are no explorable sewers...what lies beneath Bowerstone is much more interesting than poop chutes.

lost catacombs? or is that too cliche for lionhead?

To clear a few things up...

1. In the original F2 trailer...that is not Oakvale.

2. Lady Grey's Castle is not the castle in F2.

3. There are no explorable sewers...what lies beneath Bowerstone is much more interesting than poop chutes.

Thanks for clearing things up.

Anyhow personally I knew it was not lady greys castle since you killed her only relatives to get mayorship of Bowerstone.

If its not Oakvale then DUN DUN DUN DUN.... Anyhow its glad to know its not Oakvale leave room for speculation.

And for 3 very interesting.

back to bloodstone I dont think twinblades camp turned into it for many reason 1st of Being even though its on that southern peninsula its not near the water 2 after Twinblade died you see traders merchants and mercenaries come into the camp and a tavern opens up. So it seems it would turn into some sort of town. The now leaderless and dis organized drunken bandits will become its citizens.

Bloodstone should be on the island of the Hooke Coast or one of those Western islands. Somewhere new since it is a new area and city. No doubt twinblades camp will become a city just not that city.

Now we can begin to speculate on what town it is if its not Oakvale...

could someone give me some info reguarding BLoodstone never heard of it for some reason

Bloodstone, from what we know thus far, is a coastal city for pirates, bandits, and other miscreants. I think that's about all we know.

I was under the impression that the Twinblade's camp area had become bloodstone city?

Intersting question, that could be the area where Bloodstone is. Who knows???

But where have the bandits got all the expirence in building houses and all that? Perhaps it's off people who was once living in a city and became one with the clan.

Extromaniac — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 21:36:21 GMT

Really? Would that mean that the area around the camp would be expanded outwards and open up some of that free, open area around the camp, or would that not make sense?

I guess nobody knows if the bandits fell or rose since the 500 years, but pirates could be a new threat to towns by attacking the docks.

I would be happy to see Bowerstone to have bigger houses too. This has an effect on how big the city is because you could just walk in and explore an house in about 15 seconds on the original. I'm sure they've increased in size as well has the city. (I have to watch another video of Bowerstone to refresh my memory.

those bad boys are lookin quite a bit bigger
