Joan of Arc graces the Lionhead Studios Web page photo

Joan of Arc apparently made the Lionhead cut when it comes to revolutionaries. An image of the famous woman is the ew image on the studios’ splash page. As with the other front page mentions -- Che Guevara, Maximilien Robespierra, Abraham Lincoln and Aristole -- Arc’s image has a quote directly underneath it. It reads, “I’m not afraid … I was born to do this.” The typical ‘thumbs up’ and ‘thumbs’ down links accompany the text and the numeral one rests on the side of the page.

What does this stuff mean? We still haven’t the slightest, although, we’d be tickled absolutely pink if this tied into gamescom somehow ... Oh, right.

We’ll let you know when we do, no doubt.

I wouldn't like to be near Molyneux's ego right now (that is about the same size of the UK)

It will save on your computer and somehow tie into a game, with those choices being the morality compass of your character !

Oh, quit picking on him. Just take it for a grain of salt. Peter Molyneux is somewhat like the Industries' carnival barker, who works up the crowd with absurd statements. Fable 1 & 2, while wildly over promised, were fun games. Same with Black & White.

I like that he has this bold, boisterous self promotion. As long as this isn't related to Milo, I'm at least interested in what this leads to. Hopefully a new property or a 3rd Black & White, but it's probably related to the next Fable, as the last DLC alluded to being a ruler..

What's an "ew image," Brad? :)
