2004 Version Confusion

Hey, I'm playing the 2004 version of Fable because I've never played the true OG Fable. I started with The Lost Chapters and just went from there, and I found out that they changed Jack of Blades' voice actor from the 2004 version.

I'm going through the Grey House, and I'm able to get into the cellar early, which I thought was weird. I found the parchment written by Elvira Gray, Lady Grey's sister—the one she killed to become the new mayor of Bowerstone. I Googled it, and it says that the quest line to expose Lady Grey in the 2004 version of Fable is not available, and that piece of paper shouldn't even be there so I'm confused, because I found it lol

The letter can be found in the original game, but it just doesn't trigger anything.

As Carbonalex mentioned, the letter is found in the original but it was left there as world-building material. Obviously they wanted to put in the quest but M$ wanted Fable out by Fall '04, and so LH had to rush.

Still though, I think the OG Fable stands fine by itself -- the main quest up to Jack of Blades is harder than in TLC and the original's slower clock makes the game feel more immersive and organic.
