Didn't John Cleese already do some voice acting in a video game? I could have sworn that he voiced Q in Everything or Nothing....

Oh dear god, no. Not for a Fable game. British wit and accent is the general era.Christemo said:
Put Patrick Stewart, Stephen Fry, Jeremy Irons, and Claudia Black in it. That is the greatest cast ever made. (Or replace Irons with Morgan Freeman)
No, I think that's makes two of us...!SteelStallion said:Am I the only one that really enjoyed Fable 2?
Sure, it has it's flaws, but what game doesn't? I found it a lot more original and entertaining than nearly every other game I've tried (and I've tried many, before someone asks!). I did wonder whether the British sense of humour that the game has may hold it back. I know many people round the world appreciate our fairly unique ways but we tend to be in a minority (take Monty Python, for example). In my Englishman's opinion though, that was one of the big things that I liked about it.
Well, if it involves Cleese and Fry, they actually speak in very good British accents, so you need not worry!Christemo said:
Oh, and you mean "they're"...
Stephen Fry? John Cleese? Johnathan Ross? This is turning into Captain McBritish's Awesomely British Adventure in Britain-land.
BTW, I would pay handsomely to a play the above game

I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to add here. He's said the same thing with every damned game he's ever made, I wouldn't doubt that the man spends more time and money on advertising the game than the actual creation of the game itself.
Like I said before, I can't say that his games are bad, I did enjoy Fable 2, but he promises what he could "PROBABLY" make, but in the end too much is skimped on, and this ends up contradicting and promising values that the game might have had, for example Fable 2 had a very light reference to life simulation, making it feel as though it was a real world, although the lack of real movement, borders constant invisible walls, straight, narrow, linear, irritating paths made this mean nothing.
Many will disagree with this statement, but I feel it needs to be said; these big names are going to be a BIG PROBLEM for the game, now, such a claim requires an explanation, though one would think that it'd be obvious: MONEY. Money, the shit that is needed to make the games, these voice actors are amazing and do great jobs and are therefor a gigantic draw, something that Peter is already quite good at, BUT with such skill they're able to charge out the arse, and considering Fable 2 had some cut corners due to budget issues, despite it's quite menial workforce, what will happen here? It'll probably happen again, only it'll be more obvious and even more rampant due to the large amount that was poured into grabbing the big named talents.
I'll state my point clearly for anyone who somehow couldn't grasp the message and because I love the sound of my fingers slamming down on my keyboard; The voice actors are just a gigantic money-sink for advertising (ie. Peter's attention-whoring), money that would have been better spent on the actual games production.
Close, but he's just a little worse than that. He's not immortal, he'll still have to continue sacrificing people to maintain his youth and he'll undoubtedly continue to do so. Your character just lets him walk away, even with this knowledge. He doesn't seem to care though, he shot the big bad antagonist in the head with a gun, so everyone else can go fuck themselves for all little Sparrow cares.
Fry's been doing a lot of games these past few years so he's not such a celeb s the rest (he's still freaking awesome!) but John Cleese is a legend and even though I never played a fable games before I am now just because he is in it.
fuck man i actually burst out laughing when i read that. the arse is truely sensational but only really filthy depraved stuff does for me.Baron_BJ said:Only if you took your pants down to your ankles whilst looking at it.aaronmcc said:is it wrong i looked at that picture for a good 30 seconds?MR T3D said:
Stephen Fry didn't work for me as Reaver in Fable2, his voice was too familiar and my brain kept looking for him whenever Reaver was on screen...
HE ALWAYS DOES THIS! Some of the stuff he promised for Fable 2 was crazy. I was so goddam excited. Still. John Cleese will be cool. Pity it isn't on PC...
