Re: Roman Theme picking up after Fable III!
Albion was the name bestowed upon the most favoured son of Posaidon who coveted the Land of the Engles. Albion is mainland britain, england, and many of us reffer to our country as Albion still. Albion, in this context, is the Fable universe equivilent of Britain, that much is undenyable.

Re: Roman Theme picking up after Fable III!
It was actually called Albion at the time of the Romans, too, was it not?
What in the hell are you talking about, man? Were you trying to say "Poseidon?" If so, I know of no relevant myth. "Albion," as I remember, came from a Celtic predecessor language and passed through Latin and Greek. It was used, by different people contemporaneous with Brittaniae or whatever.
Yes, Albion is a poetic name for England, mostly. Yes, Fable-Albion is a British analog. You can tell from the funny accents they've all got going on there*.
No, I don't think it's particularly relevant. No, I have no interest in going to a Rome-analog, because Italy/Rome at the time analogous to Fable's tech level was a fractured mess of independent nations. Large portions of it may still have been ruled by Spain. Boring ****, beyond possibilty for nasty little wars and intrigue. Which flavor of Rome did you expect? Imperial Rome? The Pope's stomping gronds? What?
Though, I would love to see the dessert assassin someone mentioned. Scratch that, I would love to BE the dessert assassin. I could murder a slice of apple pie right about now.
*Considering the occupants of this thread, I feel the need to specify that this was a sarcastic joke, an understatement of the obvious, and a deliberate jibe at my Brit-fellow-forumgoers, all meant in the best of good-humored intentions.

Re: Roman Theme picking up after Fable III!
Albion and Britain are INTER****INGCHANGEABLE.
Albion is a name for Britain. Albion people speak with Somerset accents, ie a county in BRITAIN. Apart from saying Albion is Albion, and Britain is Britain. What I don't want is some poxy red neck coming on here and spouting **** like 'Dude, Albion's not Britain, man, Aurora isn't in the world, Fable 3 won't stay in Britain.'
I know. I know Albion is a ficticious country. HOWEVER WE CAN RELATE IT TO BRITAIN AS IT IS PRETTY MUCH ****ING BRITAIN. If it moves anywhere out of focus from BRITAIN (if you still think Fable is not based around Britain, either read the above material, or get some reading lessons) I'm gone.
Fcks me off.
Nuff said.

Yup, most the roman gods are ripped of and renamed from Greek gods.

Re: Roman Theme picking up after Fable III!
Well, the game IS leaving Albion/Britain, somewhat, anyway. The "new continent" Aurora is presumably going to be visited.
And hell, I'm pretty sure we've already left Albion. Knothole Island, Hook Coast, all off the island of Albion.

witchwood is presumable a nod to Ireland, and yes, I know Posoidon and Neptune are one and the same, but the name Albion was that of the Fourth son of Neptune specifically.

Re: Roman Theme picking up after Fable III!
I don't mind it going to Hook Coast, or even Snowspire. You could consider them to be the Irish/Scottish counterparts to England and Wales. And as long as Aurora doesn't interfere with the main country of Fable, ie Albion, which is based on Britain, I don't mind it being in the game at all.
