"This is a very exciting time for us," said Peter Molyneux, managing director of Lionhead Studios. "Ten years in this industry is no small feat. We have a great team that is committed to pushing the limits of what we can do with today's technology—ten years and counting."

With the release of Episode Two, listen to Molyneux and the rest of the Lionhead team tell comical anecdotes about their "real-life" combat encounters and meet an eclectic "sword" master whom the studio hired to demonstrate how "real sword fighting is done." Strangely enough, several members of the Lionhead team own life-size metal weapons, which allowed for daily parking lot meetings and additional comedic relief. To round out their focus on combat, fellow UK developers Lionhead and Rare played an intense, yet good-natured game of football (soccer), where there was no shortage of fun and/or combat.

Behind the Scenes
With more episodes to come, look for continued behind the scenes tours of Fable 2 with a sneak peek inside the game, as well as the people behind the action. Being a hero or heroine, fighting, questing, and adventuring are central to the Fable experience. With the upcoming release of Fable 2, you will be one step closer to fulfilling your dreams of being good or evil, getting married or remaining single, and finding out what it means to experience unconditional love.

Every choice continually defines who the character becomes in Fable 2, allowing you to truly live the life you choose.
