I kind of hope to rend this game (along with TFU2) next week. But there is something about this series that will probably make me buy the game if I can't. Its a rather disturbing and depressing thought.

Saw a commercial tonight for the first time. I was either watching the ball game or Jersey shore.:D
The commercial was a good 30-45 seconds.

I've only seen one commercial, I think it was one of that retarded gamestop ones with the voice overs. I need to watch more TV I guess.

are you referring to this one?
OMG THE BLACK ANGELS MY FUCKIN FAVORITE BAND, this goes in the OP

Can anyone comment on the seasons present in the game? Fable II concluded with Fall, but I yearned for a winter.

No details as far as I know, but between the revolution first half and your time as a king in the 2nd half, I'm assuming that a significant amount of time will pass and we'll see various seasons. I loved the winter intro in Fable II, what a great setting.

How can Peter ever hope this game will sell 5 million when Microsoft isn't advertising it as hard as Fable 2?

I expect it to sell a little under Fable 2.

And, as a monarch, you will want to make sure that the reins of the nation stay in your family. To this end, you will be able to marry or impregnate a co-op character. And if your opinions about who should be let into your bedroom run against the biological measures of acquiring an heir, there is also an option to adopt a child to inherit your power when the time comes.

Yeah.
A dedicated thread for that would be cool. Something like those dating sites, with people posting pictures of their characters, what are they looking for (marriage, children, business) and description of their characters, along with their sexual interests, money, etc. :p

If you asked me a week ago what I thought of Fable 3, I wouldnt have said much good about it through lack of interest. But then I saw that chicken freedom trailer :lol

I think Fable is one of those series with a style and aesthetic that really makes it hard to hate, even if like me you wind up disappointed in the games so far. Needless to say Ive ordered it for day 1 and hopefully this one clicks with me.

I have a sneaking suspicion I have been 'playing it wrong' up til now. Third time lucky I hope.

Since we know that fable 3 will make use of data from fable 2, is there any chance the king has left behind his favorite weapon(s) for his heir?

I think it'd be a very nice little split if one son got the crown, the other got the weapons.

Molyneux made one of my favorite games of all time and I got the chance to tell him, while shaking his hand. I told him, "Populous is just as good as making babies." He laughed, thanked me and then went about his business. Most definitely in my Top 3.

Love the man.

Ya that was my most hated thing about the game, even more than the super laggy menus.
Click to expand...
I thought I was the only one with that problem, looking at reviews and others gush over Fable 2. I thought it was blurry and it really irritated me. And the menus are super slow.

I'm currently trying to beat the game before next week in the hopes Gamefly sends me III. I've tried to play II so many times and I've bought/traded it many times as well. The blurry thing always turned me off. It's like vaseline on the screen. But the Microsoft gaffe from this weekend where they put F2 up for free on XBL (even though I own it on disc too), well...now that it's on my 360 I feel compelled to beat it. I'm actually enjoying myself a bit more now, even though the problems still bug me quite a bit.

I hope F3 can rectify so many of the problems 2 had. I hope the graphics are crisp and clean, for starters. I don't know WTF they were thinking with the last game.

Don't quote me on this but I THINK that was mentioned somewhere quite a while ago, and basically there aren't going to be seasons or changing weather, but areas will have distinct climates. For example there is a snowy village in the mountains early in the game and Aurora is obviously a land in the desert.

The guy (from the Team Xbox link) seems quite impressed with the game overall. With tons of new options an stuff to do and a bigger world and experience.

Darn, still a few days to go.

The voice acting, and the actors TIMING is so much better. It also doesn't look floaty anymore.

I think I'm in.

Whoa, the loading is pretty quick.

Alright, I've seen enough. Unless there's a huge issue that comes up in the reviews, I'm in.

Goddamn gonna stop watching, this is looking really good so far. Maybe it was good I skipped Fable 2. I LOVE the voice acting.

Stream of the game is very impressive so far. The voice acting just seems on another level compared to other games but I guess that was to be expected with the cast they assembled. The graphics look good and the loading and menus are much quicker.

Cant wait to get some hands on time.

I think I can live with it not being a huge graphical upgrade seeing as the load screens and menu loading seem much improved.
