In the previous interview by Lionhead.net, a fan interviewed Peter D and asked him:
The September 23rd source. Can you narrow it down a little bit? You said that’s where you got your inspiration from? No.
Okay. Too bad. The clue’s there.
Thank you.
(Bold-Fan,Normal-Peter M.)
Now I know you all are wondering,WTF? September 23rd? Well, atleast I was. This gave me no information at first. But alas, I remembered google existed.
This is my first scource:23rd September - This day in history
"The
Paris Opéra unveils a stunning new ceiling painted as a gift by Belorussian-born artist
Marc Chagall, who spent much of his life in
France. Chagall's
Russian soul and Jewish heritage stirred his
love for
folklore and biblical themes. Before the advent of
surrealism, h
e painted fantastical paintings that were among the first expressions of psychic reality in modern art. Among his most famous works are paintings such as I and the Village (1911); his series of 12 stained-glass windows symbolizing the tribes of
Israel (1960-61); the two vast murals he painted for New York's Metropolitan Opera House (1966); and the sets and costumes he designed for various operas and ballets. He continued to work vigorously until his death in 1985 at the age of 97."
Look at the part I underlined:Expressions. What is the system Peter M. was so proud of and stated innovative? That's right dudes and dudets: Expressions. A clue? Possible. Let's continue the investigation!
Here's another scource:September 23rd in History

Peter M. always talks about how Fable 2 will be one of those games that will be remembered in video game history, lionhead games in general actually. (As he said in the interview)
Look at these events (Some of them, more important than others)
They are rich history, history alot of us know of. Peter might of looked at the 23rd of september as a time of innovation, change, art!
Here's another clue!September 23rd - This Day In European History

Just like the last clue, folks. Look at these events. What do they all have in common? Take awhile to look.
Painters, writers, composers...what do these titles have in common?They are all a form of art! Peter M. wanted to show the innovation, artistic side, and viewpoint in Fable 2. What do I mean? Like any artist, writer, composer, etc...they all want to be different and make people be amazed. There are even some battles and historical landmarks provided, all in ancient ages...all that are remembered to some as some of the most important partsin history.
Anything else? Sure.September 23 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I can't paste that in here, but you can check it out.
I might just have cracked the code. Peters message? September 23rd was a day in many years, of innovation. Art. Change. And that's everything Peter M. wanted in fable 2 and all of his other creations. Think about it.
So, what are your opinions in this? If you find other scources concerning september 23rd, provide them on this thread. I believe Mr.M. just gave us the first glimpse of what fable 2 will contain, just with a date...and a clue.
