Fable 3 In Depth Preview.
All the information given here is based off of interviews from the fable creator peter Molyneux, and several magazine readings. This info was taken on the date of March 17?th 2010 and nothing here is written in stone. Alright let?s start out by going over a quick overview of the first 2 fable games. Before we hit the big stuff.
Fable 1 was one of the first rpg?s were they took morals in to a large part of the game. It incorporated some newer elements to gaming that are still around today especially in the fable series, like, the way your character?s body changes depending on what you do with the character, the aging system or starting out as a child and growing until you are very old. But what I feel is the most impressive aspect is the relationships you could make with other ai?s in the game, you could literally have a wife and a house to live in. This was impressive for the time this game came out in. Mainly because the wife or husband was not pre set. It could be about any AI in the game. Then Fable two came a few years later. This game totally redefined Fable 1. It took the core game play and turned it in to an achievement, winning several awards. It had its faults though, but wow did it bring some new elements to the table. This game had a slightly in depth real state system. This consistently made you money even when you weren?t playing. The game also had many weapons and pieces of clothing, along with the said relationship system in the first one; it had jobs like assassination missions and such, and many other new features including a boring co-op system.

Now let?s move on to the soon to come, depending on when you are watching this Fable 3.
Sadly the story from where I?m sitting looks slightly ? bland. It looks like it will be fun and original but when it comes to depth I doubt it will be very strong. Especially since the past two games never really hit that mark of depth. Now as I said it will look fun. From what we know the character you play as, the son or daughter of the fable 2 character you play as. Acts at first as a rebel, then as king. You begin by doing quests and making promises to people to gain followers for your rebalance towards the evil like king, who?s named Logan. After you complete your rebalance the game flips over from being the adventurer to being the dungeon master, or king.
As king you have so much more control over the world around you. You can either lock yourself up in your castle, deciding fates and laws of Albion in the empire you now own. As king you own things like an army, a dungeon, taxes, businesses, and technically everything in the region of Albion. It seems from what the game creator Peter is saying this is going to be very in depth and has a lot to do with Morals. For example you can decide if a city is based on factories and poverty or a city is based on charity, and the care of the people under your control. You can also visit the people in many different forms. You can visit them as a no body or a king along with a few other mentioned ways. You are also expected to uphold a long list of promises that were made prior to your characters kingship. Many people will come to request you to do these promises but if you prefer not to you can reach out grab their neck and throw them in to your dungeon. This leads us to game play.

One piece of new gameplay they are highly hyping is the touch system. The touch system is a tool in the game you can use to interact with the AI more efficiently. What it consists of is instead of pressing A to do something; you can actually control your character arm to reach out and hold another characters hand or perhaps grasp their neck. Then you can move you character around and they will go along with you. But they also tried to make the AI more complex and give them realistic ways. So for example if you walk with a homeless man he may at first get excited thinking you are bringing him to dinner. But if you approach a slave house he will begin to try to escape and start crying. They also say the new Natal device Microsoft is incorporating will be in Fable 3 so if you put two and two together you get this. But that?s just speculations on my behalf. They also said Natal will not be needed by any means.
A very large enhancement that will be taken place is the weapon system. Not only are the weapons much more customizable to your character but they are also sell-able. There will be an online auction house in which you can put your customized weapon on and someone can buy it or trade for it. The reason why this customization function is so new is because the weapons grow with your character and how your character uses them. So there is no ?most powerful weapon? you have to make that weapon by using a weapon for a very long amount of time. And depending on how you use the weapon it will change its looks. You can use it to only kill the innocents and it will become drenched with blood and black and may have a reddish aura or you can go vice versa. This new weapon customization feature is also supposed to be very, very in depth. It?s like painting an empty canvas.
They?ll be other simple changes like the health system has been changed. Instead of having a normal mathematical health, were you can take x amount of damage until you die or heal yourself there will be the new age regeneration health system. There is also a new feature in which you can charge your weapon by holding the attack button I am assuming and it will consistently charge to no end so as peter likes to say if you hold it for half an hour you can make a nuclear explosion. They seem to be making the item selection system a bit dunned down. Instead of choosing things like cloths from a list you simply fined them in the cloths room of your castle and click a button to put them on. Lastly this is just me speculating but there will be a new co-op system but the fable 2?s co-op bowed so I am assuming they?ll really work on this one and get it right so perhaps you can get excited to play with your friends to

There are many things I would like to see from the new fable 3. I would like to see a very in depth multiplayer, a very large world to explore, a mass effect like magic system, a very large amount of abilities and powers which would add to replayabilty, future game changing events based on decisions. But most importantly I would like to see a fun, remember-able story. Something that isn?t just there to get you through the game. I would love to see them take their time with it and really make it entertaining. So now that we are coming to an end I would like to ask you all. What do you want to see in the new Fable 3 game. Also what did you think of my preview?
