Ok, a TON of info, I know. However, for those of us with Fable, it is very interesting!

In particular, on the Xbox forums, there's a post by someone calling himself The Better Bard. Based on his post history, it's pretty obvious that he's a member of staff related to the game. So far, he's posted a fairly lengthy poem, which has some interesting implications.

I've included a link to the post titled One week later, a treat for faithful players as well as the poem below:

Alright, I was trying to gather all the riddles and stuff, but I think this does a better job than I could.

Interesting, huh? Let's try to keep all updates in this thread.

in the xbox forum at around page 160 or so he admits to being a fraud. an entertaining fraud (I followed this from page thirty onwards) but a fraud nonetheless.

I think you need some reading lessons. I said I didn't expect it to go past the first page.

I let it go because people were having fun. Fun, you know, that neat thing that you can enjoy when you're not busy being such a fool. <img src="/skins/default/images/emotions/emotion-1.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" /> You should give it a try sometime.

Aw, that sucks. It was very interesting though, and I give him props for coming up with that stuff.

Sorry. Didn't seem all that small to me. Anyway, don't worry about it. I guess it was all a hoax.

While it was all a hoax, some interesting things did come out of playing with the statue at lookout point. When it points towards Bowerstone the Tavrn Cellar will unlock. When it points towards greatwood at noon a chest will appear in the first greatwood area to the south, with a nifty sharpening augmentation.
