PM confirmed that if you buy a castle it will come with side quests and one of them is an attack. so you have to defend your castle/home from enemys, i think this is a great idea. but can any one think of any more ideas to go with houses/caravans/tents/dungeons/strange manor houses and so on?

I didn't say it was your fault...
I said..
I was going to blame you!

Who can you buy a dungeon from? Like who do you buy it off of? Wouldn't you just move in as you please? Like you get the quest to clear out the dungeon of bandits and monsters and you get to keep it or something.

Losers.......die? B.O.T. If you own a castle and you're evil then the townsfolk should try to throw you out, kill them.

I know they won't be just one castle so how are you going to defend them all? Anyway, I'm getting more goosebumps now! *explodes*

I'd rather put cauldrons of boiling oil on top of the door, so when the revolting fools barge them open... mmm. Extra-crispy.

I wonder if the castle will be equipped with your own guards. If so, that would be great. Or maybe you can recruite............... This game is too much......If I hear anymore good news, I'll explode.

Yeah sure, then they'll sell the dragons anti dragon systems(water guns). Then they'll give the ogres anti orge club shields.

http://www.games.net/video/bts/109620/fable-2-interview/ this idea is confirmed. You'll have to defend your castle.

if you can be a lesbian i dont know what i will do. (that is meant in a good way).

I hope if I play through a second time, the castle invasion isn't exactly like it was during my first character... That's one of the things that really bothers me about games, once you play through the game, the second time around has scripted events that you know are coming...The shock value decreases immensly, which I why I hoped the world changes more gradually instead of by the player himself... I don't want everytime I buy a castle to have the same invasion mechanic...Just like I don't want to help a small settlement out and everytime I do, the exact same buildings are developed and the same town with the same people are spawned... What about thieves and bandits trying to invade your house?? Why does it only have to pertain to a castle?? I'm hoping not every scripted quest is the same for every character, I'd like to see more options each time you play...

If you're good then the first thing you can do when you buy the castle is to release everyone from the dungeons and if you're bad than you can take new prisoners and torture them until they give you all their stuff.

it doesnt really matter he said you can buy EVERYTHING

thats a fair point, and its got me a wee bit worried..hopefully dymanic means itll be different every time rather than being a different predefined outcome depending on your choice.

Buying property in Fable 2 works like this; the player is able to buy any recognisable structure from a hut to a castle. Owning each type of structure brings certain benefits, for example a house can be rented out or you can move your family or friends in there - shops can supply extra revenue for you as you’ll get cut of their profits, owning civic buildings such as churches and cathedrals will increase your renown and if you own a dungeon you can harvest items from them. In addition to this any structure can have small scripts and stories attached to it. So, and this is only an example and not a current in game storyline, if you owned a shop you might be able to sell the heads of Hobbes that you have killed. These scripts and stories potentially could be about anything but will be limited by what you normally do in game so you’ll you won’t find a script or story attached to a building that suddenly transforms Fable 2 into an RTS but you might find that you have to escort an Abbott from the cathedral to a pub (once again an example rather than a confirmed script) Also ownership changes who you are in the world the more property you acquire, the more of a nobleman you become and if you were able to own enough property (which will be a lot) you end up as the evil emperor of Albion and have domination over all (just to give you an example)

From the horses mouth people! Thanks Peter...

Very intresting. However, when yo talked about changing ownership you talked about owning all of albion. I'm hoping you were just setting a simple example. I don't think that when you buy out all of albion that makes you evil. What if I am a good guy and i decide to buy albion and make a very low rent rate for the people so they can live freely. Also a quick question on Mayorship. If you are the mayor or better yet ruler of Albion do you get to imply taxes on people and or order gaurds to arrest and/or murder someone because you said he stole something. Heads up on that one i think its gonna be a good idea.
