| | | that would be cool if there was ship travel. I mean teloportation in the 16th-18th century? I dont think so.

I dont think so. | I was under the impression that the cullis gates in Fable were similar to teleporters?  Anyway, I think they'll most likely make a comeback in Fable 2 and I won't be surprised if they do. They could restrict the cullis gates to main cities and some important points in the map but it will be more of a hassel if you want to travel from place to place especially small towns and villages.
P.S. 1000 posts!!  Man. I'm so happy I've made it this far.  Time to celebrate and sing, "Celebrate good times, come on!" (section of song taken from 'Celebrate good times' by Village People).

| | congrats on 1000 posts . But I was under the impression that this was still albion, just like 500 years later. if that is true, then i guess the cullis gates might still be active, but I dont think that it would fit in with the whole more modern albion...but since it is more modern, their would be more cities, therefore more need of a fast transport system (cullis gates, boat, ect). I think that their will be more water to accomodate the pirates, so I think they should put the cullis gates in the begining and have them fade out or something...that would be ok. But I dont think that guns and teloporters go well together.

That would, in my opinion, make use of sea travel should you travel to a different land or country.
About guns, since its the 17th or 18th century, it would make sense for guns to exist by then. In fact, it will suit Fable's setting if Lionhead managed to make them blend in or design them to fit the game. Since its too early to tell how guns will perform in the game, its best to just wait for a gameplay demonstration to see how it all fits.

| So do you mean to the place wisper comes from? In TLC **spoilers** she goes to her own country, but the ship is attacked by pirates so lionhead might make you able to go there or something? That would be awsome. Perhaps they might put in cononies like Britan had at that period in history, America, India, Pacific islands, ect. Then that would be one cool game, but it might mess with fable a lot, because Albion was so big in the first 2, but in TLC snowspire was a colony thing, wasn't it? So why couldent they expand on that?
@superbob263 we were just compareing ways of fast travel

The only way I can see pirates being useful in the game without boat travel is maybe by having a pirate port somewhere in Albion that is part of a quest etc.

| | | Or mabey become a pirate and do quests for them, like the guild in TLC, because I dont think the guild will still be around, so they should let you chose a factions or something....but then that might ruin the game.

There is no reason why a pirate could not be a hero too though as they do say in Fable that they do not discriminate based on your ethical values

| | | A pirate afraid of water? I guess that is possible, but not likely. I aree that people might stereiotype pirates a bit too much. I guess Mr_sir is right, that the guild should be there, but should not be the only spot to level up your skills, they should let you do that at a bandit camp thing and a pirate area too...
