There’s a guy in Gamespot’s Fable 2 forums claiming that he works in the House of Fraser in Guildford and served a rather nice American chap. Chatting a bit with him, it apparently turns out he worked on Fable and is now working on Fable 2. Naturally he asked him when it’s going to be out: the reply was, “before the next major holiday”. Bowerstone, he said, will also be the biggest town and he apologised about “how many things were cut from Fable”. The developer introduced the woman with him in the store as Fable 2’s executive producer [which checks out - it could be Louise Copley, one of the producers of Fable], and then they chatted for a bit about Fable 2 and the fighting system, but no details of that were recounted in this story. Read it after the jump.

There is a bit of discussion in the thread, naturally, and no-one can see why this would definitely be untrue - but it seems a bit of a long shot, at least talking about completely unreleased details like a release date or the fighting. An amateur sleuth has even posted a screenshot showing how House of Fraser actually is close enough for some LH folk to go there.

I work in House of Fraser in Guildford, and i was dealing with an american customer who was very nice and polite, during the time spent talking at the till, i asked him how long he was in england for, he replied he would be here for a few weeks as he visits regulary, when i asked him what he did for a living he said he created computer games, i asked which and he said he helped create Fable and is currently working on Fable 2, i was amazed and shook his hand, and told him that i was a huge fan.

He said it would be Released before the next Major Holiday

Fable was one of my favourite games and so i asked him if he could tell me anything about fable 2, He said it would be Released before the next Major Holiday, Also that Bowerstone will be the largest and main town, he apologised about how many things were cut from Fable. He also told me about Peter Monolyuex and that the woman he was with was The Executive Producer of Fable, after chatting to them both for a while about Fable 2 and the fighting sytem, He said he would tell the People at Lionhead Studios (Which is about Twelve minutes from where i work) what i had said as they get a kick when fans tell them about how much they love their games. He was a really nice guy, as he left i shouted Fable 2 is gunna rock! AND IT WILL!Wolfboy123
