Lionhead wants your insults
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 16th November 2007
Think you can come up with something better than 'Arseface'? Eh, do you, Itchfiend?
With Fable 2 in the works, Molyneux and company are eager to do things right and, luckily, they know just what it was that made Fable The First so good. It wasn't the alterable appearance of the character or the storyline - oh no, it was the ability for NPCs to call you all manner of rude names if they didn't like you. You could buy yourself a load of custom titles too, ranging from 'Ranger' and 'Protector' to 'Arseface'.
It looks like that’s as much as the Lionhead designers could come up with though on the rude words front. A shame really, I would have loved to have a character in Fable 2 called 'CardJoe The Ringbearer'.
In an effort to correct this, as well as gain the game some rather naughty publicity, Molyneux has called for fans of the game to submit their own idea and cusswords for consideration. Selected ones will then be put in the game as player titles. Don't get too rude though as Lionhead is clear on what they are looking for;
"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)."
Some of the highlights from the list at the moment include; Jerkguts, Phlegmpot and Pintlepuller, but my favourite by far is the fantastic Itchfiend. If you've got a suggestion then drop it in our forums for us all to mull over, but be warned that this thread may be a bit NSFW...

I submit you you, my good sir, that you have the features of a baboon. Indeed!
I guess "I fart in your general direction" will have to suffice, but I think thats copyrighted :p
Fingerslam!
And thus forthcame the insult to end all insults
Young fry of treachery !
Those were both taken from Hamlet by the way, I think they're great.
Also I don't think you can beat 'nonse', it's got a great ring to it, just rolls off the tongue. Maybe it's not right for the game, but in real life.
your mommas so fat that when she sits around the house...SHE SITS AROUND THE HOUSE
your mommas so fat she has her own zip code

You're so Emo, you **** headless bats
How far Peter Molyneux has his head up his own A** :)
After B&W2 Lionhead bores me, its a shame, cos theme hospital is possibly one of the best RTS's ever (i guess it would have to be classified as RTS right?)
Joe might not add any, but having been replaying MI recently, I'll do it...
That's why I always wake up screaming.

You turtlenecked, monkey worshiping, MAC USER!!
Dear sir, your odour is most profound, as is the protusions from your nasal and ocular cavities. Sir if I didnt know any better, I'd say you were genetically engineered for ugly.
You scoundrel, I poop at thee!!!
Sir you mince your words nearly as adeptly as you do your face.
When god made you, he broke the mould. Some mistakes should never be repeated!
You werent so much as born, as slithered out of your testube.
this is fun!
You Postpseudoinverseanti-introactivist, you!

years ago.
i am officially sad.
