There is really no need to force glitches, they happen enough on their own. Game is still better than Fable 2 tho, so much more to do...fernoca said:

DA Is the option to see other people(gamerpics) floating around in the game?
Have those stone goblins(?) you shoot made a return?
Thanks!

Are there different types of weapons like there were in the old games (i.e. axes, maces, katanas etc.)
From the the tiny bit of the stream I watched I saw that he chose between a hammer and a sword at the beginning. I also believe that all the pre-order legendary weapons are hammers or swords. Seems like it would be a weird thing to take out the weapon types but you never know.

So Fable III got Troikad/Obsidianed, huh? It's a shame, hopefully they'll manage to patch most of those things up.

I'm sure they will patch a lot of things. Even though the hype is not SUPER HIGH around this one, the game will sell well and they should (they better) patch up things and support it.

They removed bows and arrows because they don't fit the time period. What else was there, axes? I only played the first Fable, and that was a long time ago.

I always assumed it was an issue with image upscaling due to the game not being native 720. Whatever it was I found it quite irritating.

I'm pretty sure I saw a cutlass-looking weapon in some of the videos so they probably just merged longswords, cutlasses and katanas into the swords category (they're all swords, after all). It could be the same for blunt weapons and rifles. Remember that they morph this time around.

I thought those 4 choices was only for your magic morphing weapon or whatever?

If you want to know how early or late he appears, not really a proper spoiler:
You first see him relatively early, before you become King, and he's bloody everywhere since "Reaver is Industry!" as his propaganda posters proudly declare.
Yeah, with something like 88,000 possible morphs, the sword will probably morph to look like these other sword types depending on your play style. Maybe hammers will morph to look more like axes if you regularly swing it swiftly rather than charging a flourish.REMEMBER CITADEL said:

I recently watched a computergames magazine on ps3 called: play'd and they were talking to Molyneux. He once again talked too much but he somehow confused me. He said that we will be able to see our progression with "gameplay chests" where you earn new skills. And in the end of this journey you become king.
I actually thought that we would be become king earlier and then have to show how we perform as a king?
What does he actually mean? Oo

The chests is the leveling up system, a big long room full of chests in your pause hub thing.
Would probably have to see the proper thing he said about the "journey". I figure you just misunderstood somewhat. You do get to be king for the second part of the game.
I just realized how the subtitle of this thread so perfectly matches the general (flawed) opinon of mr. Molyneux himself. King For A Day - during the Amiga years he created Populous and Syndicate. And Fool for a lifetime - he overpromised and under delivered on Fable 1, and talks openly and passionately about games. For some obscure reason, people just won't let the Fable 1 "scandal" go, and being passionate and excited about his own games is somehow wrong.

Yes, the floating orbs are still part of the game and don't seem to be changed at all from Fable II. The Gargoyles are gone, but instead there are Gnomes to hunt down.CitizenCope said:
Yeah, it's either morphed weapons OR legendary weapons that you've seen. According to the achievement there are 50 legendary weapons this time around, so it's fair to assume they are very diverse and cover the missing weapon types.REMEMBER CITADEL said:
The first half of the game has you making progress towards becoming king, this is charted by gathering followers. As you reach set goals of followers the gates on the Road to Rule open up, once all the gates are open you are ready to take on Logan. Essentially it's just a fancy progress bar.voady said:

Are there any clips of the female main character and voice acting?
Azure Phoenix

Not really, however in the 1 hour Fable III video that Gamespot put up a few days ago it does cut to a voiced scene with the female character for a few seconds - the only thing you can hear her say is "Hey, come on boy!", or you can hear her making vague pirate noises when playing with the dog.Wiggum2007 said:
If you want to hear them watch this video at 23:17 to 23:20 for the "Hey, come on boy!" and 28:25 to 28:50 for the dog bit. Set the video to Static streaming so you can skip to the correct points, as there are a lot of spoilers in the video.

There's an interview with Molyneux on Major Nelson's show: http://majornelson.com/archive/2010...ar-wars-the-force-unleashed-ii-fable-iii.aspx
He doesn't say much about the game, to be honest.
He says he'd never made a sports game (but has now), and would like to make an FPS (Perfect Dark 2 confirmed).

im playing as a female. her voice acting is fine. im curious to see how the game plays out from the male perspective as well.Wiggum2007 said:
for those worried about the game being short, im 20 hours in and not even at the halfway point of the story. i am doing a lot of sidequests but very few trivial or repeated ones (fetch courier etc)
1) i havent been online with the game yet so i cant comment; i just assumed the servers and day one DLC wont be up until tuesday. i played some couch coop but didnt like it, the frame-rate seemed to drop a ton.CitizenCope said:
2) not sure what you mean by stone goblins.. there are a ton of talking gnomes to find and shoot - similiar to pigeons from gta4.

Finally put down my pre-order today and am going to the midnight launch tomorrow. I can't wait. I actually like that there has been so little information. I went into Fable 2 blind with zero expectations and walked away enjoying it more for the better.
Quick question, though. Can I assume that we can switch between melee weapons and rifles the same as Fable 2? The only reason I ask is that this whole weapon morphing things seems like a big deal, so I hope they don't restrict you to one type at any given time.

you can switch on the fly like fable 2.GillianSeed79 said:
also was magic over-powered in F2? Because holy shit, it's like the win button in this.

Awesome!! Thanks, that is what I meant.DevelopmentArrested said:

It was overpowered, but not as overpowered as it was in F1. That AOE Fire spell in F1 destroyed everything. What I remember of F2 is that you had to charge up the spell, and when you got to the final stage of that charge, you'd unleash the fist of god. It was especially useful in the arena stages. I'd start charging it at the very start of each match and destroy everything on screen with the most powerful version of the attack. Repeat until nothing is alive.
This release really snuck up on me. I knew it was coming out soon, but had no idea soon ='ed next Tuesday.

who is Emo-Beas?
Havent played Fable 3 yet but i loved the overpowered magic you get in F2 after leveling up. Its not overpowered until you hit level 4-5.

Trying to start creating my villager but the site is not responding to the code I'm redeeming nor just creating it in general. wth.
Edit: Called Microsoft, the Villager Maker experienced a glitch in the system so it won't be up until Fable 3 actually releases. People will still be able to do everything and get the 1000G and such, even though the game will be released that day.
Blah.

This is a quick question for those who are playing, it's not even a spoiler so here goes:
Can you re-read the books you find within the game? I liked in Fable II how you could actually go back through your menu and read about items over again, but there's no freaking UI here and the books are simply read aloud to you like a child and then disappear.
Please tell me they are somewhere in your Sanctuary.

Might have to buy this sooner than I'd originally planned...
to those sitting on the fence with this, go ahead and buy it, seriously. the sheer amount of stuff you can do in this game seems limitless. the combat is extremely fluid and fast paced and the level of character interaction is way up there. hell, managing property/buying and selling homes/business is like a game in itself this time. love seeing a big fatty rent check come in every 5 mins.
the best comparison i can make is to fable F3 is to the Fable series what Reach was to Fable; an extremely polished iteration, taking all the best features throughout the series and adding enough new stuff to keep you excited.

Yeah I am trying to avoid buying it on 360. Hopefully I can rent it at BBV to tide me over until (if ever) there is a pc release.derFeef said:
Yeah but people were pretty excited about Fable 2 as well. And I was kind of upset with it, certainly enjoyed it much less than Fable back in the day.Zeal said:
Everdred said:
If you have a Fable II save, supposedly it will make the gender of the king in the start of III the same as your character in II, but that's it. Nothing else carries over as far as we know.
There could have been some potential there. Imagine booting up Fable II and burying an item, then switching to Fable III and digging up that item at the same spot 50 years later.
Trippy.
