Fable 3

[STDiva]

I'll admit it. I loved the first two. And I am super pumped for this. I just heard about it tonight and got a raging boner.

Brief synopsis.

Fable III is set 40-50 years after the events of Fable II. The continent of Albion, where the Fable series is set, is going through an industrial revolution, and is under the control of a tyrant king named Logan. The player's character is forced into a quest to become a revolutionary leader to defeat the king after an "injustice" happens to their parent, believed to be at the hands of the tyrant. Over the course of the first half of the game, the Hero will overthrow the tyrant and become ruler of Albion themselves. During the second half of the game, in which the player is reigning king or queen, a foreign nation will threaten Albion and the player has to decide how to react to it. Players will also have the chance to visit the new continent of Aurora. Albion will be able to befriend, or make enemies with these new regions.

Players can migrate their savegames from Fable II to Fable III. This allows the player's actions from Fable II to impact on the world of Fable III as their parent in the third game is their Hero from the second game. This was hinted at in the Fable II downloadable content See the Future.[2]
While the player is attempting to overthrow the current king of Albion, they need to gather support from the people. However, depending on the amount of control the tyrant exerts over a region, initial support can be hard to gather. To encourage citizens to join the revolution, the player must make promises to improve their lives when they have the throne. These promises can affect anything from a single individual's life to affecting the entire population or a class group within it. After the player has gained control of the crown, they have the opportunity to carry out or ignore the promises they made that allowed them to achieve their position.

John Cleese will be doing voice work as well

Lionhead has a release date for late October 2010, but that'll probably end up being spring/summer 2011. Either way...I'm pumped.

So basically, I get to Lenin it up?

Bitchin'!

It looks awesome. I for one will be partaking in it.

I particularly enjoy the concept of the touch system he has. If you have to go collect your daughter you can either with touch sensitive button: scold your daughter and she walks shamelessly back home or you can hold her hand and walk her home... and if you so choose to leave her outside the pub while you get drunk and her disapproval.

Plus, any game with beautiful scenery and a musical score Fable always had, I'm in!

Damn, I already traded Fable 2 in and I deleted my game save since I won't be going back to it. Oh well, I might end up skipping Fable 3 anyway since I never went back to Fable and Fable 2.

No way! I love Fable!

Finally saw the demo for this Monday and I loved it.

I'm more than excited for this game. Can't wait.

Though I am rather sad they are leaving RPG elements. Is it a RPG if they strip just about every RPG element out of the game?

That's the million dollar question. My bet is that they end up restoring some of it.

I liked Fable 1 & 2, so I'll probably end up picking this one up. I actually haven't been following the development of this game at all, and I think that might be for the best.
Peter Molyneux has a terrible habit of over-hyping his games, so I have a hard time trusting anything that comes from him. I think he's a smart, talented guy, but he just needs to calm his ass down once and a while.

I loved the first one. Stoked that this one is coming to the pc.

I sure as hell this one comes out without the huge amount of bugs that Fable 2 had. A lot of them were game-breaking, and most of the rest were pretty bad.
