I saw that somewhere else too. It seems pretty practical but we can't put it for the official release date. DarthJango42 18:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Consoles
Is this being released only for the XBox 360? Not the PC? Michaelritchie200 20:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
At the moment it has only been announced for the 360. DarthJango42 18:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
General
The easter egg for the multiplayer needs to be removed, it has been confirmed that there will be multiplayer.
Oh dear, this was nicely unconfirmed. All of it! 83.243.24.105 08:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to rewrite a lot of this, taking out a lot of the rumours. 81.233.42.51 18:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Can we actually get some citation on all the "hype" elements? Because, seriosly, speculation doesn't belong in a wiki article. If these are unconfirmed and just "net rumours" then let's just remove it and leave it with what we know. "Fable 2 is a planned release."

This article is abound with speculation (which doesn't belong on wiki) and horrible spelling/grammatical errors. Needs a serious rewrite.
All the rumours are gone now. Yay, now stop putting them back in.The Him 16:43, 8 September 2006 (PST)
Can we please remember to sign our comments? Thank you! Grymsqueaker 13:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry for not following protocol, not knowing them, but this article has a weird header in it. Is 'not having cut scenes' being left on the cutting room floor? Or are cut scenes being left on the cutting room floor? (reader)
-Here is a quote from Peter: "When we sat down and started designing Fable 2, I said, "Right, we're not going to have any cutscenes at all." " So, no cutscenes.
Hey, people, when you add things under that fact list from now on, could you please try to cite the source you got it from? Someone just added something about the guilds and I don't know where it is from. DarthJango42 00:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Can somebody please delete "and if you die you suck ass" please?
Should we put in that Peter Molyneux is going to have an 80-minute session at GDC in March just about Fable 2 and reveal a new "unexpected" feature of the game? In this session, he will also likely reveal tons of other new info on the game as well. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/753/753870p1.html So should we put this in the article?

Confirmed facts
Some of the confirmed facts seem unclear or as they're stated should not be considered confirmed.
- "The game may be set on another continent than Albion.": If it "may be", it isn't confirmed. Also, with other items stated, it seems that the game will be set in Albion. Or is this talking about that other continents may be involved including Albion?
- "Property can now be properly invested in...": How is it going to be different from the first Fable?
- "The designer wants to reproduce a theme of unconditional love in your children.": What exactly does this mean?
- "The player can plant an acorn into the ground and watch it grow into an oak tree." Only oak trees are available to plant or is this just an example that vegetation can be planted?
- "Images found online taken from X06 show a new area called Bloodstone which appears to be a coastal dock-style area for ships." & "Other images from X06 also hint heavily at pirates making an appearance and indicate that the "whores" of Albion, as named in the image, will also reappear in Fable 2.": Is it possible to have stated images posted, as there is no link (that I've found) to said images, so reference to them is almost pointless.

- this game is also avalable for windows & mac.
-Oh, just browse those links down the bottom (the gamespot one). I found the articles (though I don't have time to find them for you now). It's all true if you take Peter M's word for it. Not sure about the other than Albion thing though. I didn't read all of it.
-- Will do. PureSoldier 06:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
i wonder if scythe will make an appearance, i believe he will..
Does somebody knows the official release date? Because everyone is saying a diferent one. (DenisseClark 04:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC))
Reconfirm facts
If someone has some time on their hands, can they reconfirm the items listed? While a lot of the vandalism seems to be gone, others seem possible vandalism.
PureSoldier 20:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
This is DarthJango42, I'm posting the list of facts and I'll say which ones I've definitely heard of and post links if I can find them. Only the September ones because the July ones seem mostly plausible. Also, I'm new at this so I'm not sure how to shorten to links so if someone wants to do that to this list, they can.
NOTE: For the http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html source, take special note of paragraph 7 which states that not all of these features may make the cut. Also the last paragraph says we may see Fable 2 in action at March although this could definitely change. Here's a page with the whore, pirates, and bloodstone images. And some other stuff too. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/fable2concept.php
On September 29, 2006 Lionhead's Peter Moleyneux gave a preview of Fable 2 at X06:
- The Hero starts as a street urchin. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
- The player will be able to choose his or her character's gender. Their bodies will mature accordingly as they age or level up in experience. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
- Property can now be properly invested in, and you will also be able to buy things like castles or even catacombs. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
- It is now possible to have children, whether you are playing as a female or a male. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
- The designer wants to reproduce a theme of unconditional love in your children. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
- The player may now choose from protected sex to unprotected sex. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
- The player can plant an acorn into the ground and watch it grow into an oak tree. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
- The player can affect the future of a camp by choosing to finance it or slay everyone inside. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html and http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes
- The Hero's child is affected by the Hero's actions. This means that if the Hero is evil, his child will be too. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
- Images found online taken from X06 show a new area called Bloodstone which appears to be a coastal dock-style area for ships. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/photos/2.jpg
- Other images from X06 also hint heavily at pirates making an appearance and indicate that the "whores" of Albion, as named in the image, will also reappear in Fable 2. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/photos/4.jpg http://alterego.vault.ign.com/files/extras/photos/8.jpg
- The improved combat system will mean that the way the hero swings his sword changes according to proximity of walls, allies, and enemies. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/x360/previews/fable-2-cd600a.html
- The game will have a multiplayer portion. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=148656?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-General-RSS NOTE: He did not confirm multiplayer, he has only confirmed a spectator mode so far where people can watch each other play. http://www.answers.com/topic/fable-2 (It says Molyneux hints at a multiplayer portion in some G4 interview which I haven't been able to find.)
- You will now be able to take jobs as such as barman, a farmer, or even a prostitute. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62
- Your character will age, as the game takes place over 50 years http://alterego.vault.ign.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62
- The Hero will be able to have a companion, most likely a dog. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=128840 However, considering that this is a year old and absolutely nothing has been said about it since (except for rumors), I wouldn't really count on this one...
- There will be an online element with a team mechanic. http://alterego.vault.ign.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62
- If you die, you can not return so you have to restart/load the game.
In the http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146894&skip=yes source, they say the main bad guy is named Lucien who will try to harm your family if have one. So far anyways, the only rumor I haven't been able to find anything about is the die comeback one (the last one) which I don't even really get anyway, so there. Everyone else can decide what to do with this stuff. DarthJango42 02:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Yo Momma
The latest person to edit the page, yo momma (I'm just calling him that since there is no name in the history of the page and the comment he left was yo momma), left a vulgar comment at the end of the list of confirmed facts. Some of the confirmed facts don't make sense, like there will be "uncool" twists and you can have a companion that is a rapist. Are there any citations that can confirm the confirmations? Otherwise I will have to assume that yo momma messed with the page.
