I get the feeling I'm the only one who's looking forward to the next Fable game.

I played the 2nd Fable game, and I thought it was good, great even, it had a smooth combat system, well-told story, interesting quests, and the ability to earn money through real-estate. You probubly find Peter Molyneux's games are over-hyped, but I thought that game delivered almost exactly as Peter promised.

Which is probubly why I got high hopes for Fable 3, from what I was able to gather, you're still going as a Hero, but you get the cool by-product of overthrowing a tyrant and becoming Albion's new king/queen, and deciding how you would run the kingdom as one.

the only thing so far that has me worried is that supposing there's no health bar, or experience system, I wonder how Fable 3 is gonna manage combat without those things?

Also, there's a feature where your Hero will be able to touch other people, which I found strange that it didn't appear in previous Fable games, will you want to give your Fable 3 suitor a good french kiss? pick up your in-game child and give him a tour around Fable 3's new Bowserstone? or grab some beggar and sell him into slavery? I don't know exactly if all this things will be touch options in this game, but come on, I'm trying to make a point.

I'd like to see another interesting storyline for this game's quests, a more deep relationship system (the marriage system in Fable 2 was abit shallow, which was one of the game's few, even if still noticable flaws), and perhaps for Reaver to make another charming appearance somewhere (he is immortal after all, so it's likely he might.)

I'm exited, but I'm not going to get my hopes up, or listen to Peter Moleneux and what he promises.

I didn't listen to any of the hype for Fable 1 and 2, and I really enjoyed them.

So I'll do the same thing for the third one. Not listen to anything anyone says about it, and be very happy with it.

Hopefully others will do the same. After all, if you fall for his hype a third time, well then you deserve to be dissapointed.

I've been generally optimistic about the fable games. I've learned that it's a terrible idea to read any news articles or releases about this particular series, as there's been some major let-downs. I play Fable and I enjoy it until I get bored of playing it (generally about half way through the third or fourth play-through).

I am very much looking forward to Fable 3. Here is my guide to enjoying Peter Molyneux releases:

Do not listen to hype. Play the game with no preconceived notions. You will find it is very good.

If you ignore what is promised and look at the Fable games by themselves, they are both good games. So yes, I'm looking forward to Fable 3. I'm just not going to look up info on it beforehand.

I'm not excited per say, but I'm looking forward to it. I just hope it's not as hold-your-hand easy as Fable 2.

you got a point, I shouldn't take the hype by too much.

but it's little bit hard for me....

I never looked into either of the Fable games before release so I wasn't affected by the hype. I didn't even buy them. My sister lent them to me. I finished both and I have to say the games were pretty terrible; I can't imagine how much I would have hated the games if had listened to the hype.

As for Fable 3, I'm not looking forward to it based on my experiences on the other two games. If my sister ends up getting it and lends it to me I'll play it through to the end, though.

I had zero expectation of Fable, bought it and loved it.

I read every article and watched every video about Fable 2- was disappointed

I'm trying to avoid knowing anything about Fable 3 but its release date.

I have it pre ordered from Amazon, so I guess, yes, I am looking forward to it :) I just don't read anything Molyneux says about the game and it's all good from there.

Well, while gameplay wise Fable 2 was very fun, I loved the sidequests and everything, I was disappointed in the game's very short, railroaded, NPC-Centric, overall stupid story, which is one of the first thing I look at in a videogame. I'm going to buy the next one only if they rectify that fact, otherwise I'm going to wait for an used copy. Not even low price, an used copy.

I am loooking forward to the game but trying to not get excited by it.

I learnt recently that all the games I get excited about and look forward to never quite live up to what I hope. :(

I'm excited too. I just hope that it can reach the quality of the first one. I loved Fable II, but I think Fable I is still the better game.

I hope they don't take the dog out, was one of my favourite features.

I would be, if they ever have the second game come out on PC, the first one worked fine on it so why cant I get the second one?
