Is the Spire from Fable II still standing in this game?

Preorder canceled.

Yeah, the only reason I ordered from Gamespot is because they had a 20% off coupon that actually worked on preorder of CEs. So rare when that happens. Otherwise it's Amazon most of the time (although I hate that CEs tend not to get preorder credits for some strange reason - so bloody annoying).

Can't wait for this, buying it day one.
I'm going in completely fresh for this game. (haven't watched any videos, or read any previews for it)

Are you getting Fallout New Vegas? Thats kind of the anti-Fable RPG depth wise. Loving that game on hardcore mode.

Already have my villager on standby so it should be there when I start the game.
Have this preordered already, and been playingthe freeFable II in the meantime.
Great thread, by the way.
So...I made my villager but I entered the redemption code before making them. After I finished it just went to the front page...is my village just waiting now until I boot Fable up or what?

Hopefully Gamestop will have some extra collector's editions at launch. The exclusive boxer breed sold me on it.:lol

The thing that really made Fable 2 for me was the sense that you can actually be the good guy. Not necessarily the rogue with the heart of gold (although you could do that), and not the troubled anti-hero (although you could do that too), but just, ya know, the "good guy". The one who faces the terrors of the night and returns triumphant to lift the spirits of the villagers.zenbot said:
I'm not one for Animal Crossing like games, and random civilians in Molyneux games almost always end up enduring my amoral wrath, but for some reason I got a kick out of buying apartments, upgrading them and renting them out at dirt cheap rates. I liked playing the friggin' lute for a bunch of drunken villagers while showing off trophies of heroic deeds.
I spent a good 20 minutes just making my virtual baby laugh in her crib. That was mindblowing for me.
For someone who usually comes down from the stress of work by shooting or blowing up endless hordes or the bad-guy flavor of the month, it was nice to come home to something... well, nice, for once. Maybe I'm just getting old ;P
(although my evil Fable 2 character was the stuff of children's nightmares. Bwahahahahaaaaa!!!)

Might be worth adding in the OP.
Best Buy's ad for next week has Fable 3 listed as one of the select titles for their Buy 2 Get 1 free sale.

WTF?!:lol I seriously hope this is in the game!
Great OP, I've got the Le reserved on Amazon. But not I'm sure if I'll be able to pull myself away from New Vegas...

Thanks for that, very helpful. The bottom window doesn't show anything for me. I'll check it out tomorrow and if nothing happens I'll probably try and contact someone about it. I'm guessing that my code is connected to my account though since it's not asking for it anywhere.

Sooo glad to read that they fixed the co-op camera. I played the co-op once and never went back to it. Truly a horrible experience. Here's to my grades not suffering due to all this greatness being unleashed upon my PC and 360.

just wanted to say that the commercial is full of epic-ness.

I had no idea that they've improved customization for housing to that degree. This actually makes me interested to build up my house/castle. Also the meta game of property ownership, and having to ensure that houses are repaired and stuff seems to be much more involving then the old method of just earning money.
Now all they need to do is allow a person to beat the game without having to actually kill anyone, and allow for civilization style wins with economy/tech.

I don't know whether to be excited for this or not. I really enjoyed Fable 2 and loved exploring its world, but getting a corrupted save file just as I was about to finish up the game really soured the whole experience for me. I may just borrow this from my friend.
Fable II's blurry graphics gave me a serious headache. It was so blurry, there was no good reason for the game to look that bad. I'm not sure if it was terrible motion blur or just really low resolution but that really made it hard to enjoy the game. I made myself beat it anyways but I'd rather not go through that again, so if Fable III still suffers from blurry graphics I'm not interested.

So this game will be more fun in co-op now?!?! I was planning on not spending anymore this year on day one purchases, but I think that changes things for me.

Great OP thanks for making it
DAY F*ING ONE !!!
Loved fable 2 finished it all in 40 hours. And wanted more!
I read the OP but the co-op part is not true (as far as I know), the LOCAL co-op is just one camera and limmited but the online co-op is "REAL" co-op with your own character and camera and dog.
At least that is what I thought.

thats fine with me. It'll be all online for me baby
The Fable series has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, as I enjoyed I and II for what they were worth and then some. But it really feels like they've sent Fable III out to die. The game comes out in a week? Really? What the eff.
I don't think I'll even pick it up on release, due to my stance of never buying a console game I could otherwise get on PC. But even still, I have a feeling that this game is either completely broken or completely shit.
Sorry for being so down on the game, I want to love it. But the fact is I know god damn nothing about this game at all. And delayed PC version makes me sad.

I liked Fable, flawed as it was, and loved Fable II. But everything I've seen and read on Fable III has me thinking I'll skip out. The mechanics in place of a menu sound cumbersome and obnoxous, and the game looked terrible at PAX: poor animation, camera work, AI, explosions, the works. I looked like it needed to cook another six months or more.
It would take a pretty spectacular demo and salvo of reviews to get me on board this one.

I highly enjoyed Fable II for the property owning/renting, the business owning, the family aspects, the atmosphere, etc. The missions were completely secondary to my just running around doing random stuff. As long as Fable III improves those aspects, I'm sure I'll enjoy it again.

Voice cast is great and the King stuff looks interesting, but I didn't really enjoy Fable II and so I'm unlikely to actually purchase this, it looks as dumbed down as it's predecessor.
Probably will just end up renting this.

I enjoyed customizing my hero's look in Fable 2 with different articles of clothing and dyes. Any word on how customizable your character is this time around? It looks like the new inventory room lets you swap between only full outfits. I really hope it's still possible to equip and remove individual garments and change their colors so I can recreate my dreadlocked pirate/highwayman dude from the previous game.
