The game will see you become the ruler of Albion, deciding whether to be a kind king or a tyrant, and whether to keep the promises you made on your way to top. Your decisions and judgements will affect the shape of Albion and its society.

You'll be a hero ruler, and still an adventurer, "like a captain in Star Trek", said Molyneux. The game won't be an RTS, he promised. You'll also be able to travel to lands beyond Albion's borders for the first time.

The game will be out next year, but "don't expect it too early in 2010", said Molyneux.

Well... Pete destroyed my faith in Lionhead with Fable II. Whilst I don't know very much about the game I just feel like the series has gone downhill. Their Good/Evil and Purity/Corruption mechanic is shit and I can honestly see them implementing a poor, dirty little peasant-fuck child-squire in place of the dog... I actually might find that a little intriguing. I don't really care too much for exploring beyond Albion's borders, Albion is such a poorly established piece of crap in the Fable II that I really wish they'd just make it more interesting and focus on telling its story before moving onto stereotypical magical kingdom 2.

To say right now that I'm not going to buy this game would be speaking too quickly, but I guess I'll have PLENTY of time to think about it considering Peter's overly relaxed time management skills (I sense a delay in the near future). I'll wait and see what people think of it before I dish out 60 bucks for a game that I think is only going to perpetuate the decline of a series that I used to love so much .

We don't have 'mail boxes' in Britain you spaz.

Do what Shaun's friend promised to do: shit inside the mail slot on his door.

Lionhead maestro Peter Molyneux revealed that there will be some big Fable 3 news at the X10 event this week. "There's some very, very big things happening in Fable," said Molyneux, "Bigger than you think, and it's going to really upset people." Molyneux added that he is "really scared" about telling people the news, saying, "They're going to get super pissed off, they really are." Still, he concluded that it's "the right thing to do," and confirmed that he will be demonstrating the mystery announcement at X10 in San Francisco.

In Fable III we have taken away the experience system.Experience is a core mechanic of RPG games, and we've removed it. "Why?" Because experience is all about combat. Fable is more than just combat. We're not saying that combat is any less or diminished, we're just saying we needed a mechanic that covered the entirety of the game; experience wasn't it.

People didn't understand what the difference between red experience, blue experience and green experience was -- they just didn't understand it! Over half the people didn't really care about what color the experience system was. It was just wrong. So, when you remove it and replace it with something called "followers" -- you get followers for everything you do in the game; whether you're nice to people out in the street, or nasty to people; who you marry; the family that person comes from makes a difference -- it brings followers to you; you're going to have to have a certain number of followers before you take on the evil tyrant king; you've gotta have a certain number of followers to do something else. That all makes much more sense.

fuck Peter Molyneux and his gay vision, that is all.

Killing an unnamed bug in a forest and then having 3 new fans in some town a mile away doesn't really make sense to me, nor does it seem necessary.
