fable 2 story... - Page 2

I've heard so much stuff about fable 2 taking place 500 years after fable 1, so here's what it could be...

after a legendary hero defeated jack of blades and brought peace to albion, there has been little need for heroes...therefore, the heroe's guild has been forgotten, abandoned, and useless. When a young man (a trader) is on his way from Bowerstone to set out into the greatwood forest, he notices an overgrown path...He decides to explore.

What he finds is the remains of a great building, he starts searching the building inside and out. He finds books about the guild and about the monsters in the forrest. Then, he finds the hero directory, a list of heroes that started out in the guild, next you meet scythe in the guild (ya, he's still alive), he explains everything to you, then asks you your name....let's give a random name "Matthew Rose"...scythe says it was your destiny to come to this place, not to become a trader, and that you are of the same bloodline as one of the most heroic heroines of all time...(look at your guys name, yup, briar rose)...and the game continues from there...

===that's just something that would be fun to see, i want the game to have a hero directory then u can read up on all the heroes, and i hope they'll have rival heroes and friend heroes....cause in fable 1 here's the thing....i loved scythe, briar rose, theresa....i hated thunder and whisper....but my all time favourite hero...was twinblade.

i think they should've had more heroes, and expanded on the story about the heroes...

By the way, where did you hear that Scythe was immortal?

I might have forgotten about it but can anyone explain to me in which part of Fable: The Lost Chapters was it mentioned?

If you go to maze's room in the part where you are a kid you get to see him talking to scythe and he mentions that he has lived longer than everyone else. Can't remember if he says he is immortal but I think he does say that he cheated death.

I don't recall ever hearing him being immortal and as you've said, he mentioned that he cheated death. After the chat with Scythe, Maze went on to explain it was the result of an accident or a battle that left him charred beyond recognition. The fact that he cheated death doesn't mean he is immortal, in my opinion. Sure, to survive an accident or battle that could have nearly killed him does make him some sort of a very powerful person but I did not think of him as immortal.

I found it at Wikipedia .com and this is what it said''Scythe - An ancient Hero, Scythe is one of the oldest beings in Albion; only Jack of Blades has seen and done more. Obsessed with cheating death and kept alive only through supernatural means, Scythe is a withered shell of a man, resembling a tall, mummified corpse. At the beginning of the game, he leaves for the distant Northern Wastes to guard the Oracle of Snowspire. In Fable: The Lost Chapters, Scythe returns after the defeat of Jack of Blades to seek the Guild's help in battling a new threat to the Northern Wastes. He is the only Hero in the game the player is never given the option of killing'' I guess it doesn't really say he's immortal , but it sure sounds that way.

That could be because he is the only hero in the game that is a lot more powerful than the player rather than because he can't be killed

I must admit, it does sound like he could be immortal, or pretty close to being immortal.

Anyway, this is kinda getting off topic now as any discussion about Scythe should probably be in the Fable:TLC forum

My bets are he is going to play major role in Fable 2 and this time
you might get the chance to end that cheating death streak.

Are you referring to Scythe?

I am not sure if his comeback will be a good idea for Fable 2.

yes I mean him and I think it would if he is immortal it should work like KOTOR 2 where he asks you questions and how ever you answer effects his reply.

1. Scythe is immortal, in the game if you look deep enough youll see he cheated death and is as old as the guild itself.
2.Avo and skorm dont exist in the game. I was talkin to the oracle in fable describing how Avo and skorm are false gods and it was all a pyramid schem for this one guy who is a greedy son of gun. It then turns into a full fledge religion.

It could be an entirely different storyline, the video on google doesn't give away much, I think the most probable thing is (from the video) the narrotor is the strange girl with the card, and maybe the guild master. From the video you can get guns as well, maybe you can't as in how you can'y get whispers spear...

But according to an article in Wikipedia, it stated that he used supernatural means to cheat death. Here's the description from that article:

Quote:

Wikipedia's Fable article

Scythe - An ancient Hero, Scythe is one of the oldest beings in Albion; only Jack of Blades has seen and done more. Obsessed with cheating death and kept alive only through supernatural means, Scythe is a withered shell of a man, resembling a tall, mummified corpse. At the beginning of the game, he leaves for the distant Northern Wastes to guard the Oracle of Snowspire. He returns after the defeat of Jack of Blades to seek the Guild's help in battling a new threat to the Northern Wastes. He is the only Hero in the game the player is never given the option of killing.

Look at the sentence I underlined. Now, if someone is an immortal, would he/she go to such lengths to cheat death? Assuming that the said person is immortal, I don't think the individual will need to do so since he/she is already an immortal. On the other hand, since Scythe uses supernatural means to cheat death, one would clearly point out that he is, in fact, a mortal. Not immortal. He may be as old as the guild itself but that does not translate to immortality. The fact that he uses supernatural means to cheat death gives the impression that he is, and I say again, is a mortal that strives to live long even if it means using supernatural methods to do so.

I think further discussions about Scythe should go into the Discussion: Is Scythe immortal? thread at the Fable forum since this thread was meant to discuss Fable 2's story, not whether if Scythe's immortal or not.

As said, let's get back on track here.

EDIT:

I have to agree that the Fable 2 teaser video shown a while back didn't provide much information regarding Fable 2 but I remember reading some articles and interviews of Peter Molyneux by a number of gaming sites, most notably, Gamespot, and he did confirm that guns will be in the game. If you don't believe me, head over to Gamespot and do a search on Fable 2. You'll be bound to find news and interviews related to Fable 2.

As mentioned by DesR85, there is a thread discussing Scythe's immortality in the Fable and Fable:TLC forum. As this thread is in the Fable 2 forum and is focussed on possible storylines, any further posts discussing Scythe's immortality will be treated as off-topic posts (unless they are tied into a story idea) and will be deleted.
