Fable 2 is playable! ... sorta
Word from Lionhead is that Fable 2 has reached the "FP" milestone -- that's dev-speak for "first playable." Don't get too excited, this just means that Microsoft has been sent a few functional areas of the game, so the publisher can be confident its money isn't only being blown on "office refurbishment" and pizza parties.The FP build also included a never-to-be-released quest, which, according to Lionhead's most recent community update, featured, "a magical potion, some pretty messed-up, dandy-dressed, wizard-types and most importantly such a dramatic outcome of a twisted nature, that it would make Joe Average Jr. freak out." We don't even wanna know ...

You're crazy! I'm right! You're wrong!
blah blah blah, L33T, blah blah blah profanity
My opinion matters most!
What, too early for that yet?

I totally disagree.

What the heck does this game even look like?
Lekko @ Oct 5th 2006 4:31PM
wow, Peter Molyneux over-hyping his game too early again? I'm sorry, I just don't trust him anymore. Not after everything that was supposed to be the first Fable. Good game, but every part of it that I was excited about never made it into the final build.

That's alright, the quest will end up making it into Fable 2: The Lost Chapters.

In fairness to Molyneux, he didn't write the update. And in fairness to Lionhead, the update doesn't really hype the game at all.*
*He does note that artists have created beautiful environment drawrings for the game. Duh.

4. Unfortunatley I agree with post 4. Although I liked fable and played threw it 3 times (I barley play threw games once), He flat out lied about what was going to be in fable, the movies, and black and white 2.. So I have learned to just wait and see with peters games.

Our household has been interested in hearing more on this game. This game is not being publicized at all. Give us more information on the game: specs, screen shots, and info on plot would be great!

Yeah I "threw" Fable too. Against a wall.
Nah, I liked it.
