Gender: Female Location: The Land Beyond what Time can Touch
Holy crap O_O I played Fable: The Lost Chapters the other day on the PC and my eyes have been opened! I now see so many things different and truths behind it!
First Truth
There are kids in the alleyways of Bowerstone and one of them yells "I'm Jack of Blades!" I never got that, now I realize it's a reference to the Hero of Heroes, the Antagonist of Fable.
Second Truth
I also now realized that there were multiple Heroes in general, hundreds of them! But then they disappeared. (Lol they got owned by guns). Yet only the Archon bloodline survived (The Son after 500 Years of the Hero of Oakvale.)
Third Truth
I know know more about who Theresa is. Before I just thought she was a blind seerer, she's actually the sister of the Hero of Oakvale, which makes her a Hero as well! (no she really is)
Fourth Truth
Because of this I also realized... Fable 3 is the only game where they talk that's worth it XD Fable 2, sparrow doesn't really say anything. Fable, the most that the Hero says is "Follow" or "Stop". Also that the father of the Hero was a wuss XD
Fifth Truth
Nothing is True, Everything is Per-- wait thats Assassin's Creed, same concept though LMAO
I can't remember exactly but I think Archon was before the Hero of Oakvale. Archon's sons became the heroes of Albion.
the Hero of Oakvale's and Theresa's mum was a Hero herself: Scarlet Robe. She was a champion of the Crucible. So the family legacy of the Hero of Bowerstone goes further back then the Hero of Oakvale.
well yeah, there was only so much could be done as far as the game went. they - as far as i can tell - sacrificed character vocalization for character manipulation. obviously with advances in computer technology they could achieve more with F3

lol yes. Archon was actually a distance of time before. The Archon Bloodline is one of the rare family bloodlines which can master all three Hero abilities: Strength, Skill, and Will. These play a key in all Fable games but express themselves more in 1 and 2. It is VERY rare for there to be a Hero who can use all 3 abilities.
lol this I know. You learn about his mother as Scarlet Robe (The Slayer of Balverines) after you defeat the Arena. The Hero of Oakvales father however was just a poor kid, though I do wonder how it is that they managed to capture you're mother. Oh yeah.. cuz a' Jack. XD
I was kind of disappointed when I learned that Sparrow did not talk in Fable 2 v.v though it's okay. It's also the Fable game that introduces being able to be female.
This is not quite true, in fact it is never really stated at all. The ability to master all three bloodlines is not limited to the bloodline of the Archon, for instance Briar Rose showed skill in strength, skill, and Will. The descendants of William Black, the first Archon, and now called Scythe, are merely more powerful than what is achieveable for other Heroes. William Black in fact was known only to use Strength and Will in battles, wielding the Sword of Aeons after stealing it from Jack of Blades, and possessing the ability to warp reality with his power of Will, which was amplified by the Spire.
Scarlet Robe was also majorly out of practice, keep in mind being a Hero back then was not nearly as unheard of, though Robe was noted to be exceptional even among some other Heroes.

I didn't say that it was limited to the Archon. I said that it was very rare in general and that they were one of the few bloodlines that could. It does state it even in the PC version at least that the ability to use all 3 was very rare even among Heroes. Lol, though a lot of the stuff in the game itself is kind of funny considering that...
If nobody noticed... There is a story of the Hero of Oakvale using the Sword of Aeons against Jack of Blades (the first fight) which would have been impossible considering that at the time, Jack of Blades was the one who wielded the Sword of Aeons. Now of course, this is all information that I gathered from both in-game and outside sources... Except for the first paragraph.. yeah that's all true.
Well yeah, the Heroes Guild wasn't exactly deserted lol. Well.. at least not during the first game. (The second game... not so much)
Still though, for someone who was so renowned you would have expected a much better fight =\
In-game historical mistake, the Hero of Oakvale, like the heroes of old, is shrouded in legend, as such the tale has become murky.
A better fight against bandits? Certainly. Against Jack of Blades? Renowned as Scarlet Robe was, she was nothing before Jack of Blades, who was universally acknowledged as THE strongest Hero.
Yeah, it was meant to represent the factual loss of information over centuries but IMO it was a strange move for Lionhead considering the game doesn't allow an ending in correlation with the legend.
Also, wasn't Jack of Blades an extra dimensional being trapped in a mask that can only use his full power when the mask is attached to someones face. So surely it would automatically take a hero of great strength to take on a being that could only be defeated by William Black's immense hero abilities and the Sword of Aeons.
Is probably the point, no matter what you did, history tells the tale differently.
He was a pseudo-demonic entity who hailed from the Void, along with the Queen and Knight of Blades, who conquered Albon with their immense powers. It is my opinion that when using his full might along with the Sword of Aeons, he was not only the most powerful member of the Court, but he was to date the most powerful being in the Fable mythos. William Black needed the Sword of Aeons to fight the members of the Court, Jack included, so Jack should have been even more powerful with it. But yeah, most Heroes are as nothing to Jack of Blades.

Jack of Blades was known as the Hero of Heroes, the Strongest Hero to Date. You have to wonder how Sparrow or the Hero of Brightwall would have fared against him >.>
Hero of Brightwall: Stand down
Jack of Blades: **** no! *obliterates all of Albion beneath his feet*
Lionhead Studios: ... yeah, we could have made a lot more animation for this part. But we figured.. eh, screw it. Wait! I have an idea!
Lady Gray: *has several Blades of light run through her, then roars like a Balverine*
