@@kierralee8357 I believe that was Fable 2. They were in the heroes guild when she said that. I think it was Hammer who questioned her about it, I don't remember
Hammer: 'You can read that? But your eyes are...you know.' Theresa: 'I can see other worlds than this one.' Hammer: 'And in other worlds you can see? I don't understand.'
I remember being hit with the realization that Theresa ended-up being a well-intentioned version of Jack of Blades for the Hero of Bowerstone. Both wear a red hood, both wear something on their face (Jack his mask, Theresa her bandage), both are ancient and come from a time that is decades past, and both caused the destruction of the family of the Hero of Oakvale (Jack killed Brom, kidnapped/killed Scarlet Robe, and blinded Theresa, while Theresa inadvertently killed Rose through Lucian, the former a descendant of her little brother). Theresa, though well-intentioned, became what caused her pain and grief in the first place :(
The fact Theresa set her brother's own descendants, Rose in particular, up for sacrifice, almost mirroring her own trauma in them. The irony is palpable.
This is the only good thing to come from Legends. Theresa's backstory. This blew my mind. I first played Fable III, then I, then II, then playing I again then looked this up cause I was curious. DAMN
The journey was my first fable, then 3, then 2 and then 1. Recently I played them again in order and I enjoyed every minute, every reference to the other games...
She didn't plot it, it just happened. Theresa wanted Lucien only to rebuild the Spire, but she ended up giving valuable information to a dangerous fanatic that lost his way and had a family history of mental illness. Thus she blamed herself for almost destroying Albion through her actions. Fortunately for her the Hero of Bowerstone was out on his own personal crusade against Lucien for the murder of Rose.
I cant believe how little views there are for all the fable videos. I know theres fans. And damn i wish we had a different game then the kinect one. Fable 3 wasnt bad. Just short.
Yeah there is a lot of fans but with any fan base only a percentage is going to watch these videos and even less or going to watch more than a video or two about it. And fables fan base isn’t as big as it used to. With 3, Kinect, scraping legends the series has taking a hit. Fable 4 tho has a huge chance to revive the series. Even if the game isn’t the best it will still have some fan base but if they were to scrap guns and go back in time it make a new age (have 2 old kingdoms now) if there were guns in the new age it would have to be rare, expensive and not the best equipment in the game
Given the full context of what we know Theresa did, I find it highly likely that she also had a hand in killing Lucien's wife and child. She admits to manipulating his grief to make him build the tower for her ends, and throughout Fable 2, we see how she repeatedly sets up events to create tragedies to force people to do what she wants (like manipulating Sparrow and Rose into buying the music box, to get them invited by Lucien, and Rose murdered, or sending Sparrow with Hammer to the wellspring, so Hammer's father would be murdered, spurring her to action). And through everything, Theresa had no remorse for any of the horrors she had a hand in creating when she took the spire for her own. Her tears were nothing more than the realization that she wasn't going to get what she wanted. And even giving Sparrow a wish, she framed it in an asinine way. One option was to bring everyone back who died in the building of the spire... EXCEPT Sparrow's loved ones (who died as a result of Lucien's obsession with the Spire, meaning they should have been included in that number. She put it on him to undue her crimes, at additional sacrifice for himself, when there was no reason to cause that pain. It takes another century after that for her to step up and pay for her crimes, yet the games don't frame it that way, because they ignore the magnitude of her responsibility through all of it. She completely whitewashes her actions, painting them as miscalculations, rather than actual horrible crimes.
Lilbirdnelson She was blinded (no pun intended) by her vengeful crusade. She sacrificed too much to get to where she got, only to find it was for nothing anyway. The ends don't always justify the means.
Maybe it's nostalgia but I really think the first Hero was the most accomplished, little chicken chaser. I would've loved to see a more gradual progression in the timeline for games so we could've said goodbye over time as opposed to BOOM fable 2 here's guns and the Albion you once knew and acted in changed so far flung into the future that the choices you made meant nothing.
I respectfully disagree. I think the Second hero 'Sparrow" is the most accomplished Hero. He/she was a kid living homeless on the streets of Bowerstone and eventually became a very powerful Hero who not only saved Albion from destruction, but also united Albion to become its first King/Queen since the Old Kingdom days of Albion all those centuries ago.
@@docyeezy23 = But the second Hero also accomplished a feat unheard of since the Old Kingdom, and that was unifying a divided Albion into a strong Monarchy. And this was a kid living on the streets that managed to accomplish this. Defeating a tyrant like Lucien was just sugar on top. But there might be no right or wrong answer here, this is just why i think he's more accomplished than the Hero of Oakvale.
Lesson for developers: Do not put important series lore in a game directly tied an unproven console gimmick (in this case Kinect). Fable the Journey can eat shit.
I hope fable 4 goes back in time or a new age happens and it goes back to the original game roots no guns be sick especially since we have better technology now
@@tigga2300 Never really played the first past a certain point but I loved fable 2 and 3 is a direct sequel to that, eventually I need to play the full series again because I genuinely don’t remember 3 being that bad
So she teleports Jack of Blades body to a hill with his broken mask still on? Does that mean the lost chapters isn't canon, because the hero takes his mask after he dies in the game even without the DLC.
Idk what was up with the storyboarding behind this. Would've been a lot cooler to show off his dragon form dying. As for the mask, I think the canon version is the one where the hero throws it to the lava.
I want to believe for the next fable coming up that the hero of oakvale puts on the mask because in the E-Book that takes place after jack is still alive. Most of the fable fan base is begging for him to be in the next game anyways. This stupid scene retcons the entirety of the lost chapters because Jack's body is teleported back into the void with the sword and the hero takes the mask even without the DLC.
@@LukeFordthatguyyouknowhimright yeah. They mention the king (hero of brightwall) in passing and how he's gone missing (this happens in one of the books)
After. The Hero of Brightwall gets married (I think to an Auroran) and Garth shows up talking about how the Darkness had manifested in Samarkand. They journey there, and are betrayed by the ruler who reveals herself to be in league with the Corruption. I'm not sure how, but the Hero and his backup are captured and imprisoned. In a vision (I think Theresa) tells the Hero that not all Heroes are gone from Albion, and it supposedly ends with him smiling, his hope renewed. Massive cliffhanger. The Hero referred to is obviously Gabriel in this game, and all this happens while the Hero of Brightwall is away.
I'd like to point out how ridiculous it is that she never cried since the raid on Oakvale. Her dad was killed. Her mother was tortured. Her eyes were cut out. Everyone else she ever knew or cared about was slaughtered and the whole town was burned. Her brother went missing and was later found, and then her mother was found and then lost for good. The one time she cried super hard over a loss since she was a girl, and we are talking centuries later, is over a descendant a few generations down? So in all that time, she never shed one tear for herself or her close family since the day it all happened. Very doubtful. That's not even getting into how it makes her involvement in Fable 2 even worse. Theresa found her descendant and manipulated her young mind into believing in fairy tale logic so that she'd jump at the idea of going to live with her co-collaborator on the Spire project, who then shot the kid when it turns out that they could interfere with his plans. I already didn't like Theresa in Fable 2, but I seriously doubt that this back-filler was a twinkle in the eyes of the writing team(s) before they finished Fable 2.
I imagine it was a side effect of her trauma. It changed and hardened her, but she had something to focus on. Avenging her family, which later evolved into making sure no one suffered like she had again. At any cost. But she did not realize that cost until she stood at the top of the Spire, at the pinnacle of her goal. People cope differently with tragedy, and it doesn't always take the form of tears.
She was a lot harder, even before the Hero of Oakvale found her at Twinblade's camp. She ceased to be a little girl when she came to terms with had happened. Revenge, anger. She swapped her suffering for all of that. It's what kept her going, and it's what made her the inconsiderate, ends-justify-the-means asshole we know now.
YEAH! It's got a wonderful story, and since the series is essentially dead, it is a very very nice ending. It elaborates on how the hero bloodlines are all but gone, growing less potent. And has a nice meaning that heroes don't need to be born, but made; through Gabriel's arc. The kinect is Journey's greatest downfall, the only thing holding it back. It was difficult to access and difficult to control. But far too many people downplay the actual quality of the game.
I'm just going to pretend I never read this. As someone who played the very first Fable on the original XBox, this comment personally offends me. This isn't what any TRUE fans wanted. Infact, I refuse to believe I even played this game. 😂
@@aleksattebery awesome! True fan isn't really a thing that can be measured. But Journey you can easily say is "not a true fable game" and it just isn't. You don't get any choices in it and it is just a straight path game that you go through level by level. And of course kinect was, kinect. But that doesn't mean there isn't substance in the story. It's a prolog that functions as an ending. It gives Theresa some amount of motive and a direction and it shows her sitting on the monument of her sins. And Gabriel isn't horribly insufferable, he changes throughout the game. It wasn't a "fable game". But it is not a bad game at it's core
Unless the rumors of a Fable 4 for the new console of Xbox are true, Journey is the last Fable game*** we are gonna get. Of course you don't need to like it, it isn't good. But it isn't /Horrible/. If there is something on the horizon, I can only hope it is better than 3.
Honestly it was really fun! And an awesome fable game, fantastic voice acting, music and scenery. It's only two dollars on amazon, not a horrible loss if you have a kinect even if you decide it is bad for yourself. I enjoyed the entire thing and the only real "con" was the generally wonky kinect controls. But even that wasn't a major problem besides some frustration, and was quite fun to interact with your 'hands' in the environment, throw enemies around and charge up spears. I adored the way it tied up a few loose ends, described the downfall of the hero bloodline, mentioned what happens to the hero of brightwall (There is actually a book the expands this! Haven't read it yet), provides a nice little explanation for what is going down, I believe the nightcrawler back into this games antagonist theme. And of course, all of Theresa's backstory and experiences that are expanded upon. The protagonist goes through a nice gradual change before stepping up to his title in the very end in a satisfying way, despite being reluctant and rather whiny in the beginning. Again, it's a shame that a ton of people hate on it for what seems to be just the fact that it is a kinect game. Performing as a nice fable story it is just fantastic and an experience to behold.
You know something... I think deep down, death is what Theresa wanted since the day she found her younger brother. She wanted him to kill her, as being alive would only mean to feel strong emotions towards others and not only hurt herself but also hurt others, and to be forced to find a place where she and her powers could fit and improve society, essentially becoming nothing more but a tool for everything and everyone, plus keeping them from being able to live the present in peace. She would rather die and be veiled by quietude and peace forever, than live in this messy, chaotic and extremely unbalanced world.
His mortal body died, I don't think Jack can die really, his soul was tied to his mask In the mortal realm, but since he was made from the void or at least comes from there originally, I think that is where his soul returns too when his mask is destroyed at the end of the lost chapters of fable 1. Since he has no body to use without the mask to claim one for him. Hopefully we'll see him again in the future.
I lost a lot of respect for her when I found all this out. I loved her character before, knowing what she'd lost, but that she never let it change her. Turns out, I was wrong.
@@vequitas1972 when it comes to trauma, we don't realize how it changes us until all our choices blow up in our faces. CPTSD is a very unnoticeable manipulator, people often accidentally get misdiagnosed for other conditions because CPTSD shares a lot of symptoms with them. At best she's a character meant to be pitied, Lucian's actions made her see what she had done wrong and how she had behaved which is why she cries, she became something that was unintentionally causing more trauma.
@@ThatKid22101 Then she could've said something, instead of adopting this messiah persona, and acting like she knows everything. Maybe trauma made her unknowingly do what she did, but that still makes her a liability. There's no guarantee that she won't do something like that again. So many people died and suffered for her mistake, and no one, not even the Hero of Brightwall, will ever know that it was her doing. Walter died for that. The entirety of Albion suffered under Logan's thumb because of his fear of what she unleashed. He was too weak-willed to carry out her plans, so she just replaced him. I understand trauma to be a manipulator, but clearly, she is one too. I just find it silly to think that this collected, wise and noble seer is actually scrambling like a kid trying to hide porn behind the scenes the whole time, like "damn it, that didn't work, what now!?".

She wanted him to kill her, as being alive would only mean to feel strong emotions towards others and not only hurt herself but also hurt others, and to be forced to find a place where she and her powers could fit and improve society, essentially becoming nothing more but a tool for everything and everyone, plus keeping them from being able to live the present in peace. She would rather die and be veiled by quietude and peace forever, than live in this messy, chaotic and extremely unbalanced world.
Jack of Blades didn't die, though. He just got defeated and lost in the void.
His mortal body died, I don't think Jack can die really, his soul was tied to his mask In the mortal realm, but since he was made from the void or at least comes from there originally, I think that is where his soul returns too when his mask is destroyed at the end of the lost chapters of fable 1. Since he has no body to use without the mask to claim one for him. Hopefully we'll see him again in the future.
She's worse than the emperor
Lol Theresa be like to little Sparrow "We will watch your career in great interest"
I lost a lot of respect for her when I found all this out. I loved her character before, knowing what she'd lost, but that she never let it change her. Turns out, I was wrong.
@@vequitas1972 when it comes to trauma, we don't realize how it changes us until all our choices blow up in our faces.
CPTSD is a very unnoticeable manipulator, people often accidentally get misdiagnosed for other conditions because CPTSD shares a lot of symptoms with them.
At best she's a character meant to be pitied, Lucian's actions made her see what she had done wrong and how she had behaved which is why she cries, she became something that was unintentionally causing more trauma.
@@ThatKid22101 Then she could've said something, instead of adopting this messiah persona, and acting like she knows everything. Maybe trauma made her unknowingly do what she did, but that still makes her a liability. There's no guarantee that she won't do something like that again. So many people died and suffered for her mistake, and no one, not even the Hero of Brightwall, will ever know that it was her doing. Walter died for that. The entirety of Albion suffered under Logan's thumb because of his fear of what she unleashed. He was too weak-willed to carry out her plans, so she just replaced him. I understand trauma to be a manipulator, but clearly, she is one too. I just find it silly to think that this collected, wise and noble seer is actually scrambling like a kid trying to hide porn behind the scenes the whole time, like "damn it, that didn't work, what now!?".
