Alot of people complain about the ending for the game, the ending actually touched me. I felt that there was no need for lucien to be a final boss as he was a elderly man at the end of the game to begin with, even if he was a final boss. He wouldn't be much of a fight to begin with.
However, if someone wants some brain candy about fable 2, espically if you beaten it. I'll tell you who I think the true villian of the story is. Highlight the next area to read.
The true villian of Fable 2 is not Lucien, he is merely a puppet. Theresa was the one pulling the strings from the very beginning. She was the one who convinced you to buy the music box in the first place. Most likely with the knowledge that lucien was looking for the three from the beginning (Lucien's Diary, Page 17). A curious question one must ask is how did Lucien discover you bought the music box? The merchant nor, anyone in the audience did not have knowledge of the music box's magical abilities, and lucien picked up on the knowledge that not only you bought the box. But it was magical.
Why did your wish at the beginning of the game never happened? If rose wished to live in the castle, then obviously such a wish would have occured and you nor rose would have been shot by lucien. Lucien summoned you to the castle outside of the wish.
My theory behind these events is that theresa informed lucien that you had bought the music box in a effort to pitt the 4th hero, you. Who is destined to stop lucien agaist him, thus starting the chain of events.
The second villianous act that theresa performs occurs when you find hammer. When theresa learns of hammer's pacifistic vows. She mentions that you must find a way to get hammer to join the fight, very shortly after. Spire gaurds attacks and kill's hammer's father. Coindence?
Several more occurances like this occur though the game, but the biggest and most omnious occurance happens after the game. "You may leave... but the spire, is mine." What exactly does that mean? For that matter, why does the spire exist after granting your "wish". Theresa said from the very beginning that once a wish is made, the spire disappears. The first wish wiped out the entire world, so how come your wish was no where near as powerful?
My theory on this is that your wish was never made using the spire, but instead the music box. Since the music box is explained more in the book "The Relic" its very possible that theresa tricked you into using the music box wish instead of the spire wish. So that she may take over the spire.
So who is theresa? This is obviously not the theresa we know from fable 1. But I know one thing for sure. She has villianous intentions.
Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?
