Fable 2 Video Feature: Welcome to Albion
UK, September 26, 2008 - If you're not excited about Fable 2 by now, then you don't deserve your Xbox 360. That's right, hand it over, and the door's that a-way. Everyone else, those of you with immaculate taste and a thirst for adventure, should start stocking up on supplies ready for the game's release on October 24 in the UK.
By all accounts, it's the game everyone was expecting first time around, with Fable 2 taking the original's already beautiful world, moral dilemmas and sheer, heroic swashbuckling then stretching and refining them into something quite spectacular.
As the extremely talented chaps and ladies down at Lionhead put the finishing touches to Fable 2, IGN was lucky enough to be given the chance to go speak to the team about the game's development, from creating the world of Albion to why playing as a lady hero can be quite the disturbing experience for gentleman gamers.
You can watch the first part of our 'Making of' video feature today and discover how the design team shaped Albion one hundred years on from its appearance in the original Fable, as well as taking a look at some of the more ferocious beasts you'll encounter on your quest to become the ultimate hero.
We'll have even more over the coming weeks, so check back every Fable Friday for more exclusive insights into the creation of Fable 2. Next time, we'll be speaking to Lionhead about a hero's life in Albion beyond the sword-swinging and spell-casting.
