We always knew that book of abusive insults we got last Christmas would provide more than just a prop for the dodgy dinner table leg.
Lionhead, ya see, is shouting at its community to help it out with insults in Fable 2, specifically an alternative to the "tired old" Arseface Hero Title from Fable awarded when "you get enough NPCs to hate your guts".
"So", the developer says in its blog, "if any of you chaps and chappettes have some abusive and derisive ideas, now is the time to shout and share it with the team! Or rather post them in the comments of this blog (we are going to regret this aren't we?), and who knows, if it's G o o d [Good] enough the title might make it onto our shortlist!"
It continues, "The insults should be puerile, but not too puerile, sound at least somewhat original, and not cross a certain line (as an example, "gobshite" has been rejected because, while it might sound funny and wacky to American ears, it's still a bit too strong for Fable and British ears)."
"The thing to remember is that it's a way for Fable villagers to call the Hero an arsehole because they hate him/her and obviously needs to work for both genders."
(as an example, "gobs**te" has been rejected because, while it might sound funny and wacky to American ears, it's still a bit too strong for Fable and British ears)."
awwww no fair.
my brother frequently uses the word 'poohat' I have no idea what it means but he calls everyone he doesn't like by that name.
Your mother ? (In the classic Fable accent of course) Chav? That'd be good considering recent youth culture. rose petalsr? Muppet? Numpty? Pillock? Prat? Wally? Tosser?
Or bottomface variants such as Rectumhead, f***yface.
I've already suggested 'ass-hat' on the site. It's my favourite insult at the moment, and it's kinda similar to 'bottomface'. Would be cool if it made it in
