A glitch in Fable...No you must be mistaken.
forgive meStarted yesterday. Fun game.. graphics didn't see much improvement as far as I can recall, but I was very impressed with the smoke effects on the fire spell. That was a definite upgrade. I saw a lot of tearing early on but that seems to be less of an issue as I've progressed.
I am not all that happy about the new expression system nor are the fetch quests, etc. all that exciting. It looks like it'll be a lot harder to whore yourself out.

Fable 2 washed out? Fable 2 was so bright and colorful it was almost painful. Sleep in the Sandgoose in Oakfield until 5 am and walk out to see the sunrise. It's a blinding neon orgasm. Fable 2 was many things but washed out wasn't one of them in the least. Fable 3 on the other hand is literally black and white in certain spots. They also completely neutered the lighting in part 3.

It's nice to see they can rush out a patch to fix something that benefits them but seem to be pretty silent on a patch to fix the mountain of other glitches. I'm sure the 80msp dyes will be able to be bought without a hitch as well. They won't let you put your save on a USB stick and pull it out of the system to prevent it autosaving and you getting stuck on one of game ruining glitches.
It's nice that we're supposed to be accountable for our choices ingame but they don't seem to be accountable for releasing this unfinished garbage.
f MS doesn't take Fable away from Lionhead they will kill the franchise. Give them something like Milo and hand it to a more competent and creative developer. End this obsession with moving the series into modern times and take us back to the founding of the Guild or the Old Kingdom.

Uh..yeah, better bail out now cause that'll be a reoccurring thing throughout the game. Follow the golden trail, tedious combat, fast travel, hold button - that about sums it all up.
I'd return it if I were you. I'm gonna finish it over the next couple days since I feel like I have to but I don't plan on playing it again so I'll probably sell it next wait and wait to play it again when Microsoft accidentally puts it up for free on Xbox Live

How does

?
removing the limit on amount of booze sold a day
nightly puke cleanup
Finally finished it. Wanted to hold back my thoughts to give it a chance and see how it changed in the second half.....but unfortunately it never really go much better.
I loved Fable. Fable 2 was kind of disappointing because instead of being a bigger and better Fable it was kind of a step sideways. Better in some ways worse in others. It had some things that Ireally didn't like but overrall I still played through it multiple times and enjoyed it enough to want to buy the third.
This game....I just can't see myself ever touching it again. It just never felt as involving as the other two Fable games and seemed to feel more linear. The part up to becoming a king never really impressed me that much. As soon as I saw what came after I felt a little excited...finally it seemed like the story was gonna go somewhere cool, but then before you know it the game has me sat in a chair making decision after decision...it felt so forced. Throw in a few shitty quests to last for 1 in game year. Finally we got to the good part...the invasion.....oh wait, it was a 3 minute quest with a joke of a boss fight. Man this game never failed to disappoint me once. So many parts felt dumbed down compared to Fable 2.
And lastly, when Molyneux said that a child or whatever could have designed Fable 2 better I thought it was an exagerration. Lionhead are professionals and no way could a child design a better game than them.....however after this game I have to agree with him. I mean the sanctuary stands out as proof of this. Cool the first time, a complete chore every single time after. Changing weapons, clothing, checking items, viewing stats.....all took much longer than they needed to for no good reason at all. What the hell where they smoking when they came up with that? oh and the bugs...well luckily I never got quiet jasper or save problems but the dog and npcs in the game would frequently get completely stuck requiring me to reload the game.
Fable was fun while it lasted but hopefully this was the last one. Best to last the franchise die rather than run it into the ground with even worse sequels.

Ok, so I need to have a fully upgraded legendary weapon to open the Mourningwood demon door. So I get Reaver Industries' pistol and check the requirements decrease morality, spend 10k and have an orgy with four other people. The first two requirements are easy, which leaves the orgy. Apparently there's only four hookers in all of Albion if you don't
, and two of them are in Bowerstone Old Town. Which
. Is there any way to have orgies with, uh, non-hookers? Because if there isn't it looks like I screwed myself out of upgrading several weapons.
build the brothel instead of the school, which I didn't
I opted not to repair

I just beat fable 3 and this is my main complaint. Fable II had lots and lots of stuff, you would constantly be finding new weapons, buying special buildings opening demon doors or exploring new regions. Fable III is just so much smaller. Hopefully we'll get some DLC that gives us more exploration.
My second complaint is that so many poor decisions were made: Shops are confusing as heck now and they are such a pain I don't never bothered with them. It's as if they decided to remove menus even if it meant implementing an inferior shopping experience. The repair property is pointless and annoying, the legendary weapons change only insignificantly and if I could trade them for the wealth of interesting weapons in Fable II I would. Also what exactly is the point of golden keys? I'd rather have more demon doors and not ones that require me to have friends.
At least they attempted to give you an interesting romance partner
although the fact that Elise gave me an STD is severely concerning
I will say though that the improvement in the story was very nice although it's still very short and surprise surprise
the end battle was ridiculously anticlimactic and felt rushed. How did that crawler thing come over to Albion anyway? Did it fly? Did it have a fleet?
So I just got married on a bridge and now I can't move. Can't go to the sanctuary, can't save, can't reload. Am I screwed?
EDIT: If anyone with the game in this thread would be willing to help me out, I'd like to try the possible fix below:
1. Have your friend join your game.
2. Have him go over to a shop and buy a piece of clothing.
3. Hell have two options after this, one of which says go to dressing room.
4. This will automatically take you both to the sanctuary and you are free to fast travel from there.
If you're willing to try to help me out with this, I'd be much obliged. Just send me a friend request if you have the game. Gamertag is K omboloi (no space between the K and o, for some reason the first five letters of my gamertag are banned on Neogaf so if I don't type it that way, you can't see my gamertag at all).

Finished Fable 3 Sunday morning.
It has definitely lost the charm that was Fable 1. I remember Fable 1 being this really grand adventure, armor that mattered, attacking to chain and continue to chain to get more guild seals, leveling up your self in the way that you wanted to play, very unique ways to open doors, alot of time based events where the time of day effected the zone, as well as very awesome environments for it's time. I remember the Sandgoose internet threads that happened with Fable 1, what was it, where was it, can you get to it. Alot of self made mystery that was awesome.
Fable 3 is... well after beating it I felt nothing. Nothing memorable. Nothing different. Everything simple and stupid. It feels like I was playing the movie Idiocracy. I am from a time where the original game was smart, now I am in the newest game where it is just ... dumb. And dumb for the masses it seems.
Really upset. What I am more upset with is the hard part: the money that I wasted to buy the game, the time I put in to see it to the end, or the one that I believe is true - the real death of what was Fable to me.
There was a glint of promise when I was in
That was how the whole game should have been. But it wasn't.
As well, for fucks sakes that motion blur. UGGGUGUGUGUGU I think that was literally the worst thing. My eyes hurt so much. The programming team needs to go back to school on that one. When other 3rd party developers can get the job done right and a 1st Party fails so epically on that, there is something to be said negatively against them. If Papa Mole wants to get his 5 million seller, he might need to actually get a team that codes properly first. I feel this could be harsh but seriously, a game like NIER was 100% better with it's PS2 style graphics because it wasn't a coding mess and had a great team behind it with a vision that they went with and I believe succeeded on it.
FABLE 3 - Disappointing. So terribly disappointing.
EDIT: I played Saturday night with a friend and we were going to run into a new zone, the game warned me that said friend was waiting for me to run into the zone with him, but it was me who was the one trying to initiate the zone transfer to begin with. I was running way past the point of no return when I fell thru the world. And continued to fall. My world was a falling white void. He had to leave and I had to kill my game. Thankfully I came back safe and sound to Mute Cleese.
Ugg and how the hell do you go from coding your dog from FABLE 2 that actually fetches a ball to FABLE 3 where you throw the ball and your dog's brain hemorrhages instead? The dog is mostly a pain in the ass in this game. Trying to lead me to a dig spot, the dog either runs back and forth for no reason, this way and that, slowly goes no where fast, or actually finds the first tree he can and becomes one with it, getting stick inside of a tree! The best is when he finds a treasure chest and points to it... but there is no chest anywhere in sight.
So much rage inside. What a mess.

Finished the game last night. I really enjoyed my time with it. I never did anything with the townspeople; instead I just ran quests, explored, and had fun with the simple, yet enjoyable combat. Also, this game gave me a lot of laugh out loud moments, especially the writing of the achievement unlock descriptions and when you finish quests.
I'm going to start another character and get the books, keys, flowers and gnomes as well as use a hammer and rifle this time round.
It's disappointing to read all the negativity here, but I can understand how and why people feel that way.

I too finished Fable 3 over the weekend. I'd give the game around a 6.5 / 10. It probably would've been lower if
If that caught me off guard and ruined my ending I would've easily docked it a point or two. Toggle that shit morons. "You are about to potentially fuck up 20 hours worth of game time, are you sure you want to continue?"
The game did redeem itself a bit with the Aurora visit and some of the decisions you had to make as king. If they had taken another year with this game and added more depth / length to the king part and fixed most of the idiotic bugs and design mishaps this could've easily been a top tier classic RPG.
As it stands it's a disjointed rushed product... a status symbol showing the world where Microsoft's gaming attention is going. Seriously, is Lionhead running on a skeleton crew or was most of the staff busy fucking around with Milo?
I didn't know I needed to have my kingdom prepared by the time I start my daily agendas on day 121.

My friend was playing the game yesterday morning and out of the blue the game ended he said. He then traded it in for Fallout LV out of frustration.
I didnt know what to say (haven't beat it yet).
Again, what were Lionhead thinking?? During development you have meetings after meetings with top creative heads about every single facet of the game, given Molynuexs experience and the rest of the highly talented people at the studio, what compelled them to think such an ending would be ok???
This game is all over the place, something major must have happened, im thinking Kinnect implementation screwed up deadlines and they hastily scraped together what they had. I keep asking myself "How did this get green lighted?".
The entire product seems premature - alpha almost (half arsed ideas). I was worried when i saw how much time they were spending on Sanctuary, id rather that budget be funneled into tightening the combat and gameplay. Ultimately, an interactive menu doesnt add anything to the game, its still just a menu.

To anyone reading this who hasn't beat it yet (not a big spoiler if you are King):
DO NOT do the daily agenda on day 121 until you have the correct amount of money in the treasury. You might also want to leave some extra money over the said amount to account for whatever agenda items might be on day 121. (I believe 500,000 will cover it if you are going good.)

The worst part about the ending is that you have to do the last two quests in a row with no pause.
When you make the first day 121 decision it leads right into the second one, with no break in between. I actually had to restart because I was like 11,000 short in the kingdom fund even though I had like another 300k in personal money.
So I beat this last night. I could have spent more time to stop and smell the roses but I kinda wanted to just get it over with before I get anything new. It had a few moments, but overall the negative outweighed the positive for me. It was definitely a disappointment, but I guess life goes on.
the ending sequence was lousy, it was just a bunch of crappy fights and it felt like my time as a king didn't really matter

Argg, so I started my second play-through with my evil character and I got over 500 melee kills yet I didn't get the achievement!? I'm basically just playing through it again to pickup a few stray achievements I didn't get the first go-round, so it's extremely annoying to have yet another game glitch cause me to miss out on 20 gamer points. Ugh....
Btw, once I start a new character, is there any way to load my original character from the same hard drive? The load screen doesn't give me any options to select a specific file.

I loved Fable 2 and still thought this game was rotten, in far too many ways already explained in previous pages.Aquavelvaman said:
But I want to know WHY anybody thought it was a good idea to ditch the expression wheel and varied villager personalities. That one decision ripped the very soul out of the game. Everything else is details.

Same here. I'll play Fable II again when I have nothing else going on so I can properly compare the two, but when I played it a couple years ago I had a great time with it despite the flaws. I was already reading GAF back then and I remember being surprised by all the negative reactions since I enjoyed it so much.
Still, I agree with the sentiment that if you didn't like II that you won't like III.

after giving it a good amount of time I've come down to my biggest complaint of fable 3.
Why were so many things removed from fable 2 which didn't need to be removed, never have I seen a sequel where so many things were removed which didn't need to be removed.
enemies:
trolls, bugs, wraiths, etc.
area's/cities:
oakfield, westcliff, bloodstone.
Worldly things, quests:
moving statues, jobs(wood cutting and bar tending), pub games, traveling traders.
And the removal of what I'd call other key locations from fable 2, like the mage tower, and the decreased amount of daemon doors.
I understand that stuff changes, and lots of stuff was added, but i feel that none of the things I listed needed to be removed, some things could be copy and pasted from one game to the next, you don't need to remake absolutely everything.

Well, I remember Peter saying one of the things that inspired Fable III was when he learned how little of Fable II most players bothered with. So... guess he didn't bother putting most of it in Fable III, problem solved!
But yeah, really baffling that the third game in a series has so much less content than either of the two previous games.
I missed some of the stuff lost in transition from I to II (like the fight club circuit), but II added a bunch of new stuff. III adds almost nothing new (weapon morphs, king judgement/treasury, the co-op originally promised for II) and removes so much more.
I still enjoyed playing it, but it felt like a game that should have came out between Fable I and II not after it. Only part that seemed like an honest improvement was the sanctuary over the messy laggy Fable II menus.

It hasn't been mentioned much in this thread, but the enemies in Fable III are smaller in number and there wasn't a single HUGE enemy. In the first two Fables, you had giant trolls and other big bosses.
Heck, The Creeper in Fable III just ends up being Walter when it comes to the actual battle... There were a couple of sentinels dragon things, but they were just as easy to beat as the big bandit magic guys.
It really does feel Lionhead was distracted during the development of Fable III and it needed another 8-12 months to be fully fleshed out.
I"m guessing they probably had some Kinect feature in mind for the Expression system. That's the only explanation I can figure out for why the took it out.
The whole 121 day point of no return thing also feels like they just hit a development deadline, instead of it being an actual design decision.
for some reason I can see Peter being locked away with Milo, obsessed with treating him like a real boy, as the rest of the team keeps pressuring him to get back on development of Fable III ("Peter, get a grip, he's not a real boy!") but he was in too deep and they couldn't pull him out so they released whatever they could by the deadline

One other thing I think fable suffers from is that the start of the game is really really strong in it's game design, then it trails off quickly after that.
the 3 first major quests of the main storyline, to get the approval of sabine, are almost perfect in length and variety.
1. earn enough support in brightwall (minor questing, and hand shaking)
2. the relequary as a dungeon was good, could use some puzzles though.
3. the bandits was the really the only boss fight i can remember.
Quests for Page and the Aroran lady should've been similar in design.
1. win the people of the area over with minor quests and exploration.
2. a mini dungeon, with some puzzles.
3. a quest ending in a boss battle of some kind.
3 or 4 instead of 1 would've added a lot more depth to the overall game while flushing out the world.
The other problem is that they really lowered the amount of depth in the rpg mechanics without providing enough compensation. If you're going to make it an action adventure rpg, why not through in more puzzles. With the exception of some of the later areas, like the sunshine house, the game lacks any real challenge on the intellectual side.

Quests for Page and the Aroran lady should've been similar in design.
1. win the people of the area over with minor quests and exploration.
2. a mini dungeon, with some puzzles.
3. a quest ending in a boss battle of some kind.
3 or 4 instead of 1 would've added a lot more depth to the overall game while flushing out the world.
The other problem is that they really lowered the amount of depth in the rpg mechanics without providing enough compensation. If you're going to make it an action adventure rpg, why not through in more puzzles. With the exception of some of the later areas, like the sunshine house, the game lacks any real challenge on the intellectual side.
