Fable II’s Original Ending Unearthed

NowGamer has posted the results of a conversation between 360 Magazine and Lionhead’s Dene Carter, in which we learn what the team’s plans were for Fable II’s ending earlier in development.

“Originally Fable II’s ending involved a whole Guild of Heroes,” Carter said in an interview with our sister publication 360 magazine. Apparently these heroes rode out together with the player in order to “defeat an army of enormous crystalline foes controlled by Lucien,” before getting to fight the evil magician himself.

Carter revealed the original ending while lamenting over the unfulfilled promises that became synonmous with the original Fable, and how that affected the promotion of Fable II.

“The thing about Fable 1 was that we let people in on the whole development process, right from the beginning,” he said. “We were more niave than anything else and hoped that our organic, blue-sky way of creating games would garner interest from the public.”
