This one is with Peter Molyneux

Plus here is the guys site with a lits of "facts" also posted below

Will weather conditions change randomly and autonomously throughout gameplay?
- Yes, as well as time. For example, during night time and as days pass, you will notice progression in the different lunar stages.
<LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Will Fable 2 storyline be completely independent from the first one?
- Yes, but there are traces of the original story. For example, while passing through a village, camp, or city you may bump into groups of children who reenact the original Fable story.
<LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Other interesting facts?
- To find your way around, in the original Fable you had a small 2-Dimensional minimap in the upper right corner. Peter didn’t like this because the player might have an idea of the upcoming location's layout. Therefore, they completely removed the minimap in Fable 2. Now you have more screen to yourself and the idea of finding your way around has been replaced by the “breadcrumb trail”.
What is the “breadcrumb trail”?
- The “breadcrumb trail”, which you can see in the following screenshot, indicates the way to the next main storyline quest. Therefore, you (the player) are free to roam, explore, take part in side-quests, and whatever else you may feel like doing without worrying about getting lost. All you must do, once you feel like continuing the story, is follow the “breadcrumb trail”

Other interesting facts?
- <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">The sparrow, a bird in Fable 2’s opening scene, plays an important role in the game... <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">During gameplay or quests you will frequently have a companion. At the beginning of the game your companion is your sister Rose who dreams about living in the Castle... <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Albion is 10 to 20 times bigger than in the original Fable. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">You can interact during cut scenes; for example by chuckling, doing a thumbs up or thumbs down, etc. This way you can change what’s happening and feel part of the scene. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">You can press and hold A to skip talking. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">The player and the dog can both swim; so you can dive into rivers to cross them. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Fishing no longer exists in Fable 2. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Anytime during gameplay you can hold the LT and the screen will lock onto something amazing. These amazing things can be the sunset, a castle, a beautiful view, and so on. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">The Hero starts as a Bowerstone street boy/girl at the age of ten. Once he/she reaches the age of 18, approximately 40 minutes into game, they pass into adulthood and are free to explore the world. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">The choices you make as a child will affect the game later on. For example helping the guards will transform the city into a market district, but helping the crooks will transform it into a high-crime area. As for childhood, even in adulthood every choice you make in the game has consequences in the future. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">They tried reducing loadings to a minimum, but since the world is so big and the game is filled with caves and under-regions to explore, some loadings are still present. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Each controller button (X,Y,B) masters respectively Swords, Firearms, Magic. By holding the button and by using the “stack functionality” you can specialize and customize your attacks and special moves. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Two Fable 2 achievements are: “Kick a chicken” (10G); “The blood brothers” (25G). <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">They spent a lot of time perfecting details such as the sunlight effect through clouds, the shading of leaves, the moon’s glow, and much more to reproduce real-life effects. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">Each item, including vegetation, trees, flowers, leaves, etc. was uniquely drawn for Fable 2. <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 270.0pt">There are different types of prostitutes, each one has a different price range.
- The dog reflects the Hero’s behavior. Thus there are good and evil looking dogs.
- Completing quests does not earn you money. You may even be able to finish the game but still be poor.
