Well, thats lame.

One thing I noticed is how much better the clothing design in Fable 3 is. Pretty much everything in Fable 2 looked blah. Everything in Fable 3 looks great, even the male costumes look stylish as hell on my femal MC.

Actually, so far the game is better than Fable 2 in pretty much every way, except for the removal of the expressions wheel...

Yeah. Really liked the clothing, though there's not much variety. But the multiple combinations and dying parts of it, make for some cool varieties.

Was playing with male clothes on my evil-female character for a moment and looked nice. The starting white shirt had a nice cleavage. Told that to my firend, and he put that shirt to her character. :lol

Fable III Dye Pack (80 MSP)

Breathe new life into your hair and clothes with this collection of dyes, including the long-awaited black dye. Those preferring lighter colours will make good use of the cream, hot pink and turquoise dyes. These items will be added to your gift queue in the Sanctuary, and will be available when dyes are unlocked in the storyline.

http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/24ifxq3r/DyePack.jpg

WHAT? Are you seriously telling me that if you want to dye your clothes black in Fable III you need to pay for DLC? Can you not just set a standard dye to the darkest hue for black?

If not then that is a really, really dirty trick to pull and sets a new precedence for how low companies are willing to stoop regarding DLC

ALSO, having to select houses one by one to repair is such effing tedium. Or is there a better way that i didnt see?

One of the interviews mentioned that Jasper can take care of all of your properties.

 

[The Chosen One]

Just finished the game...

Spoiler

The ending also snuck up on me. I was being a good king while amassing a huge real estate empire. I was already in the process of filling up the treasury, but I thought there would be at least another two turns. So I was caught short-handed and now everyone is dead.

I don't fault the game too much for killing everyone since there was more than enough warning about the consequences of not filling up the treasury. But having just a single turn that's under 6 months to the deadline is ridiculous. Especially since the first 6 months had about a half dozen turns. Considering your character is basically FUBARed if you miss the deadline, they shouldn't have the final date come up so abrupt.

Also if you miss the treasury deadline and everyone is dead, the main characters at Walter's funeral should have addressed that better. Page was acting all thankful and happy even though the entire city is a ghost town. I think those characters should be more mournful about the dead citizens and scornful at the King (me) for letting this happen.

Finally, while I enjoy the Fable universe, Fable 3 felt like a side-quest to the overall mythology. The main "Evil" being is completely new and has no connection to the previous games and supposedly only appeared 5 years ago before this game took place. And then there's Theresa who was always a mysterious character. I thought they advanced her character nicely from Fable 1 to 2. But in Fable 3, she had zero character progression and had no real effect on any of the other characters.

I would have also liked if they had a few more regions that had "aged areas" from the previous games. For example, I really liked how Oakvale from Fable 1 became the Wraithmarsh in Fable 2. I actually got sad playing through Wraithmarsh realizing that the town my first Hero grew up in 500 years earlier turned into monster/ghost infested swamp. But that's what gave the game a sense of history. I got very few of those moments in Fable 3.

There's the bridge to the gypsy camp and Reaver, but what else of any significance? It would have been nice too if Reaver made a reference to the Shadow Court at least once.

Anyway, I enjoyed the game but I'm forced to start a new character since my current one is now useless. Though I'm probably going to wait until a patch comes out before I start a second playthru. I got hit with the Jasper bug right after I beat the game. :lol

 

[Lostconfused]

I haven't played Fable 3 yet, but everything I've heard makes it seem this series has taken the bizarro route of getting worse with each incarnation. Fable 3 sounds like it staples on more shallow and poorly thought out systems while stripping functionality from the stuff before without actually improving on any of it.

It only seems like it. Fable 3 is exactly like 2 with just a slightly more restricted expression system. Everything else is barely changed between the two games. As I said, if anything all of this already happened in the transition from fable 1 to 2.

 

[Blueblur1]

I married my villager yesterday. I got her pregnant and she gave me an STD. It was lovely. :lol

 

[StarEye]

The biggest difference I've noticed is the interface - or more specifically, the lack of it. Apparently, menus were a no-no for this game, but they're not really gone. He just disguised them as a fancy sanctuary and a metaphoric level-up system. Instead of menus, you are instantly teleported to your sanctuary (thankfully with no loading at all) to access everything you get access to with a normal menu. Instead of a menu with a list of weapons or clothes or achievements and trophies - you have to physically go to the designated room in the sanctuary for these things. It's not that it's particularly slow, just cumbersome. It's a novelty that wears off pretty quickly.

On the plus side, I seem to remember the zones being a lot more restricted in Fable II. There are plenty of room in the zones to stray off the path. Some areas seem like a tiny version of a WoW zone.

Use the D-pad to jump between rooms, it is slightly quicker than running between them.

Also how do you have sex? I have a villager fully in love with me, I dragged her to a bed but no option appeared, is there an expression I need to buy?

 

[StarEye]

Yeah, I know, I do that. But the point still stands. Menus are perhaps boring and unattractive, but they have their purpose in games like these. That said, it doesn't particularly bother me, but if it showed up in every game from now on, I may become slightly more annoyed. Thankfully, it won't, because Fable aren't exactly known for setting new standards.

To be fair to them the menus in Fable 2 were awful, I think this system is an improvement(albeit slight) although a hot key option would have been nice(I think one of the bumpers isn't used)

 

[neorej]

My main gripe with every Fable-sequel to date is that Lionhead improves some parts and destroy parts that were good. The new menu-system is something I don't detest, but it's a chore to simply change your mustache. Finding your wife is near impossible, which is a total bitch if she's complaining about the amount of attention she's getting.
You can do everything with your house from the map: adjust rates, move in, set as home, etc, except redecorating. I can see why I can't decorate it personally, but having Jasper do it for you should be available from the map-screen. Quests are a total disaster, since not every quest available pops up in your questlist.

I understand the route they took, but for the love of christ, they should've given players the "Play with classic menu"-option. I love John Cleese to death, but after 300 times, "welcome to the sanctuary, there's a gift still waiting for you." get's pretty old.

Also, I aplauded Lionhead for giving you experience in the field you used to destroy an enemy. Why the hell they abandoned that, I will never know. Just like it would be nice to see the effects of your actions directly reflected on the game-screen. I don't want to return to the sanctuary every time I do something to see if my morality has shifted slightly.

And while we're on it: what's with the golden keys? I opened just one door, and I was thoroughly dissapointed (got a Highwayman-suit, YAY!). The only purpose it served was additional Hollow Men for my Bonesmasher-improvement, which made it not a complete waste.

It was a good idea to continue on the Gargoyles, except the Gnomes aren't funny at all. Seriously, WTF were the writers using when they were writing the Gnome-lines?

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Also how do you have sex? I have a villager fully in love with me, I dragged her to a bed but no option appeared, is their an expression I need to buy?

Drag him / her to a bed and click on "sleep". From there you'll get the option to have sex, but they might ask for a wedding ring before they agree to it.

 

[U2NUMB]

Well I put in about 3 hours last night before I had to get some sleep and I must say initially I really REALLY like Fable 3 compared to 2 at this point. I just was never sucked into Fable 2 but the set up for this game is so much better and flows so well.

Also got some co-op in with a friend and I love how the games has connections like that.

I am very impressed so far...

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

[JayDubya]

The game doesn't exactly explain it and it doesn't work the same as it did in Fable 2.

For one thing, if you have a legendary that requires an orgy of 4+you, you can only lead one person with "Love" status to a bed... and that person has to have the "Flirty" quality (press RT for info on each villager). Unless I'm missing something, that means the rest are obligate prostitutes.

By the by, for anyone wondering there are 2 prostitutes in Bowerstone Old Quarter and 2 at the mercenary camp - a prostitute will follow you anywhere once hired, as well.

The legendary pistol that I found in a chest demanded I figure all that bullshit out... the damage boost was something like 14 on a pistol that already did mid 40s, so now it's more powerful than all my rifles, too. :lol

 

[Interfectum]

Started playing Fable 3 this weekend...

+ loved the intro
+ the story is great so far
+ the quest system
+ i actually really like the sanctuary
+ battle system

- graphics are not near as good as fable 2, or im just remembering fable 2 wrong
- game seems very unstable / glitchy (as with most games this fall)
- friend system is boring and pointless

Overall I like it a lot better than part 2 so far... but holy fuck could this game have used another 4-5 months of development, testing and polish. Both this and Fallout: New Vegas are an embarrassment in that regard.

BTW, did anyone else turn on global orbs? It kinda feels like an MMO when you see other people floating around town. :lol

[Aquavelvaman]

I really don't understand why the repair system is in the game. It doesn't seem to add anything at all to the property-owning mechanic. I get the feeling that it is a remnant of a more complex house upgrading system that was scrapped and all it does now is waste time.

 

[Hixx]

Oh wow the ending was so incredibly rushed it was unreal. Big spoilers obviously...

[CecilRousso]

I want to play this more, but I´m afraid that the juvenile emotion system will result in me hurling the controler out the window. How am I supposed to take the revolution story seriously, when the options I get when I try to interact with people are farting, pat-a-cake and dancing?

Every single emotion is so damn exaggerated.

The reason this fails is the fact that money you gain after you invest into a few properties becomes trivial. You make so much money so fast, repairing never feels like it will take a real bite out of your pocket book. They should have created a global button that does repairing for all houses at the same time. When I am constantly sitting at half a million dollars with zero effort to get to that point, the rest is just tedious work to repair.

become king, what an awful way to end the game, and i too was caught off guard whit a poor kingdom and lost 5+ millions of habitants lol. I had already bought every piece of real state there was to buy and was making aroung 100k worth of rents and sales, my plan was to keep people happy and use my money to fight the darkness, it's like they ran out of ideas and decided to just skip the last 250 days. Fucking lame, i was so pissed

I have mixed feelings about the game after the ending, such a shame.

 

[FrankT]

BTW, did anyone else turn on global orbs? It kinda feels like an MMO when you see other people floating around town. :lol

That is how it felt in Fable 2 as well. You could do the same. I've had a lot of gifts this way heh. The co-op however is much improved.

This needs to be patched this week. I could name a number of other high priority things that need to be update as well, but this needs to be done this week. Not sure how this one got by with so many expensing it.

This is my crutch weapon as well. :lol Everything else I use in combat just feels sub-par compared to it. Albeit, guns are the only thing I've maxed out, but my magic should be stronger considering it's rank 4. It's exceedingly lame that raising your magic attack only gives you an extra charge option instead of increasing the standard "tap B" attack. At this point, I rarely even use magic unless I'm surrounded by 20 enemies. There is literally no point to attacking anyone with the non-AoE version of the spell.

The world is massive, much, much bigger in scale than Fable 2 and its packed with lots to do. Just thinking of everything ahead of me leaves me dizzy.

One thing i dont understand is how this game got through QA. Its the buggiest high profile game i've played. John Cleese glitch is inexcusable, even more insulting is that Lionhead remain sillent about the issue. It seriously effects the experience, considering how Lionhead made so much noise about their voice cast, its disappointing and disheartening that no attempt has been made to fix this.

Im now uncertain if other bits will hold up due to bugs, and if it doesnt it'll likely remain without a fix. A shame.

Apart from that i like the game so far. More so than Fable 2. What this game has and is proud of is heritage. Theres remnants and nods to previous Fable games, i find myself wandering thinking "Heh... smart Lionhead, well done". A lot of love has been poured into this, i just wish the game didn't let itself down with all the technical issues.

You might want to experiment more, as I've had none of these problems.

I will say this though, not all spell weaving combinations are made equal. I was having a hard time fighting certain foes with Fire+Blades, but once I switched to Fire+Ice I demolished them in no time flat. By the time I finished the game the majority of my kills were from spells by far - I love the changes in Fable 3. The only part I miss from Fable 2 magic was being able to quickly change which spells you have slotted up.

One thing i dont understand is how this game got through QA. Its the buggiest high profile game i've played.

Agreed on this. In my first playthrough I experienced the Mute Butler bug (started just around Brightwall and stayed that way) and whenever I try to save a custom outfit I get trapped in the sanctuary and need to exit to the dashboard. I'd recommend people wait for a patch before buying this one, just to be sure.

 

[JayDubya]

I'm sitting at something like 7 million gold and I just got Page and her resistance on my side...

[Brandon F]

Where is the quest selection menu? I have all of these Villager friend requests, and the game keeps telling me to select which one to track via the 'map' in the sanctuary, but the option doesn't exist at all. I'm REALLY hoping this is more of a matter of poor scripting, that I haven't progressed far enough in the story yet for the game to 'unlock' the ability to look at my current quest log.

Otherwise, I am not yet hooked into this like I was with Fable 2. The whole 'Logan/revolution' angle comes across as WAY too forced, and unnatural. Compared to the origins of Fable 2's childhood growth prelude chapter, this is not resonating that well as a narrative hook. I guess I suspected this game was about properly cultivating your own Fable lineage to the crown from youth; rather than this seemingly rushed tale of usurping it. Again, it all feels very hackneyed so far.

With all the hate surrounding the ending too, I'm starting to regret my purchase a little. I loved Fable 2! Hopefully the quests and world will end up as interesting to explore, even if the narrative doesn't.

It's going to be the whole benevolent dictator thing, because that's all you can do unless there's an option later on to abdicate the throne... That would be aces. (Don't spoil if I can't or can, I'll find out and be disappointed or not later).

Honestly it's going to be Captain Paladin McMoneybags to the rescue handing out resources to solve anything because there is no such thing as scarcity in Albion. Fable 2 and Fable 3 are like playing as the lone guy in the world with a Starfleet replicator.

At some point, I'll probably just turn rent OFF. It's what I did in Fable 2, anyway.

Go to the map and look at the region, hover over a "!" and select it, or you can hit y and it brings up a list of quest and pick it there.

The ending is fine in the game, much better then the 1 hit boss in part 2. Think people are complaining that it hits to soon. If you know day 121 is the last day you can do stuff they you won't have a problem.

You have a choice between draining a lake and mining the resources from the lake bed or leaving its idyllic and pristine natural beauty crafted by the hand of god himself.

whenever I grab her hand I walk at a literal snail's pace. I managed to "fix" it by hitting LT and then sprinting like crazy away from her before she can touch me.
