Simon Says... #2

[Albion Knight]

Warning, this is a spoiler!

lot of emails are being sent around on a daily basis, some about specifics in regards to the game and then there are also some more quirky ones. Several weeks ago we started a new feature on the Fable 2 development blog called "Simon Says..." where we share some of the emails to the whole team with our community!
From our weekly Fable 2 Dev Report, an email that gets sent around internally on a weekly basis where all the departments involved in Fable 2 tell each other what they've been up to. This is directly from the latest email, John McCormack (you saw him in Video Diary 4) had the following to say:

Art Report

The old man winces as he turns a new page in the Book.. he blows of the dust and tries to make out what is read therein..

Morn 733:... nd the ancient order .f the wacom warriors are bei. .. held bac.. .. .runching wheels .f the Faybell Edwa ..d his Engine of eternal darknes.. ... .. ust fight on, too muc.. .t stake! Th.. lightin.. s..nbearable.. ..e maps are unre.dable.. ... od help us...he horror.. t... orror! Why mu.. .t end like thi..

Morn 784: We entere. th. ..illage. The horror had sprea... or the love of avo and al.. .t...s holy! What have they done to the villagers! Th.. arely have faces... o legs... ome have eyes hoveri.. tside their skulls! We fled..

Morn 865: Theres some...ng wrong with t.e trees here, I swear. When we approach them they se.. .o ..himmer in an orange ugly light an. ..e.. orld seems to slow down to a crawl around us.

Morn 900: In the morn, we make tracks for Great Deer Cross.. ast we heard it had changed bey..d all recog...on... i hope to god we make it...

The old man closes the book and waits another circle till he can stomach its contents again...

We'll end with these two images of a Hobbe.

[Tsuyu]

Just look.... he is wearing a boot for a hat! Boot for a hat! Awww...

[Solus]

Too close, I say!

[ashinator]

they look like alienated cersions of stich

[Man]

yea that is really similar. can you say "ripoff"? they look cool though

[Jasontated]

i really don't think that the ppl at lionhead where trying to make the Hobbs look like stitch but yea thay do have similar characteristics and there pretty cute with his little mase of doom it just makes me want to kick him through a field goal and take hit wep and then beet some random old lady idk mixed reactions

[Tsuyu]

If anything, they look like baby trolls. Remember those trolls in the LotR movies?

'Moma is here, darling!'

Those trolls....

They don't look like anything like the hobbes from the first fable. They dont even have the same ears
