We want to give a sense of that, so as you're building up your forces, as you're being a rebel, you will find this opportunity to promise things to get more power. Whenever politicians, rebels or juntas are climbing to power they make promises, and very often these promises are not delivered on. The really strange thing about leadership is that there's a common thread that has existed for centuries in all cultures. After the player has gained control of the crown, they have the opportunity to carry out or ignore the promises they made that allowed them to achieve their position.Īs Peter Molyneux, Lionhead's Creative Director, explains: These promises can affect anything from a single individual's life to affecting the entire population or a class group within it. To encourage citizens to join the revolution, the player must amass 'Guild Seals" by completing quests, interacting with the people or performing good deeds to gain support and make promises to improve people's lives when the Hero has the throne. However, depending on the amount of control the tyrant exerts over a region, initial support can be hard to gather.


While the player is attempting to overthrow the current king of Albion, they need to gather support from the people. During the second half of the game, a strange force from Aurora, called the Darkness will threaten Albion and the player has to decide how to react to it. Over the course of the first half of the game, the Hero will overthrow Logan and become ruler of Albion themselves. The player's character, the "Hero", is forced into a quest to become a revolutionary leader to defeat Logan after he reveals his true personality to the Hero. Set 50 years after the events of Fable II, the continent of Albion (where the Fable series is set) is under the control of Logan, a tyrant king and the Hero's older brother.
