Rumor: We really hope these are the Fable 2 achievements
But, troublingly, neither of the displayed Gamertags show up when searched, so we're a little bit nervous about the whole ordeal. However, we're still holding out hope that we'll one day be rewarded for kicking a chicken "a respectable distance."

[Update: Is it possible to hint at a confirmation? If so, Lionhead just did it. Looks like this is pretty much legit. Thanks to HeartbreakRidge for the heads-up.]

Good ol' chicken-kicken.Shit like this was the reason why I loved Fable so much.

"We really hope these are the Fable 2 achievements"
Either that or the Fable MMORPG class list. Imagine leveling up "The persuader" or "The Archeologist". And you just know that "the hero of strength" will be OPed...

The Goth -5g
Dye your hair black, wear an outfit made entirely out of black clothes, and wear some black makeup.
LOL!

I hate you. You go to hell.You go to hell and you die :(
Jonah Falcon @ Aug 11th 2008 12:10PM
I'm quick, so what? :p

"Goth -5g

Now this is so full of win!

YumYumDonuts is probably a debug kit username.
Jonah Falcon @ Aug 11th 2008 12:12PM
Wait, no one picked YumYumDonuts on Xbox Live? Oh, it's probably gone now. (sigh)
Duke @ Aug 11th 2008 12:09PM
I agree, the list looks a bit off to me too.
Jonah Falcon @ Aug 11th 2008 12:11PM
No, it looks on target. The thing is, the poster typed them out himself, so that explains the occasional lack of a capital letter.
This is just like the time they posted the (proven) GTA4 achievements.
Duke @ Aug 11th 2008 1:27PM
OK, why does it look on target then?
I just am surprised that they put so much emphasis in the sex/marriage side of things when that will be advertised in the achievements lists of people's profiles. Seems a little less than fitting for children to be reading through. (The caps and missing words wasn't what I had an issue with)
Jonah Falcon @ Aug 11th 2008 12:11PM
The Sacrifice -25g
Choose "The needs of the many"
The Family -25g
Choose "The needs of the few"
The Egomaniac -25g
Choose "The needs of the one"
We have Star Trek II references off the port bow.
I'm also betting this is the choice you make at the end.

My excitement for this game is growing, and I haven't even finished the first Fable yet. Damn game keeps hard locking my system.
These achievements seem to be dead on with the humor found in other Lionhead titles. If they're fake, someone did a damn good job of coming up with believable ones.
tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 11th 2008 12:18PM
It looks a little off to you guys because it's an awesome and creative achievement list which is something we're not used to in our 360 games.
I was a little pissed when I found out the lame achievements a game as open and huge as Oblivion had. Thankfully this looks like it'll make up for it.

YumYumDonuts?! This guy signs on everyday with this name? He sits at his friends house for upwards of 10 minutes recovering his profile for YumYumDonuts...
Better yet.... Played halo with a "BillCosBone" last night. Now that's a name
Boffo the Sock @ Aug 11th 2008 12:55PM
Maybe he keeps his profile stored on a MU.
ChooChooCharlie @ Aug 11th 2008 1:39PM
BillCosBone ... lol
I see some of the funniest gamertags in Halo matchmaking lobbies.
Dirty @ Aug 11th 2008 12:30PM
Something smells fishy.... Im guessing that its coming from the orgy.
StrangeBum @ Aug 11th 2008 1:13PM
That's what the blind man said when he walked into the lesbian bar!!!
=)
juju187 @ Aug 11th 2008 2:13PM
can u make a female character?
Jonah Falcon @ Aug 11th 2008 2:50PM
Yes. And your female hero can get pregnant, too.
juju187 @ Aug 11th 2008 5:20PM
get pregnant in a orgy u say....
Dirty @ Aug 11th 2008 5:21PM
Sounds like a job for Maury Povich!
Mr.ESC @ Aug 11th 2008 10:30PM
I lol'd.
Good Job.
Acidpoptart @ Aug 11th 2008 12:44PM
Developers have access to an internal live network used for testing. That could explain why the gamertags dont show up.
ice~ @ Aug 11th 2008 12:48PM
Oh man, I get gamerscore for having an orgi.... man being an achievement whore is getting a lot better!! :P
ScallionN @ Aug 11th 2008 1:04PM
The Rouge looks like the Comedian...
Snowblind @ Aug 11th 2008 1:23PM
Only three actual main story achievements (which seem to corrospond to the big choice you're forced to make..) and the rest of them are more of the amusing different character choices you can make.
This is more like what I was expecting from Oblivion, instead of simply getting them for playing through each of the guilds.
Jonah Falcon @ Aug 11th 2008 2:51PM
I disagree. You can play your character any way you like, and I've played Fable several ways experimenting with play styles.

they confirm that they cannot deny (or confirm) these achievements are real.
Red Leader @ Aug 11th 2008 3:01PM
"The Black Knight -10g
Shoot the weapons from a hollow man's hands, blow off his head and then kill him for good!"
Is that a Monty Python reference?
Wombat @ Aug 11th 2008 4:00PM
You won't find those names online because they're likely on the test/debug Xbox live.
Andrea A @ Aug 14th 2008 10:18PM
I can confirm the name from the picture is, in fact, an Xbox 360 Development Kit gamertag, and that user is VERY active 'behind the scenes'.
Joystiq, boot yours up and add them, then when you have your friend req. pending, just 'view XXXXX's friends', there 'ya go, the development team!
