As most of you probably know by now, Peter Molyneux has already started building up Fable 3 as the "BEST GAME EVAR!!!!!!!!!" Now, even though we all know that Mister Molyneux is a filthy liar of the highest caliber, let's just suspended our disbelief for a moment and come up with a wish list.
But first, what we know;
-The game is set around 60 years after Fable 2 and the player takes on the role of the previous hero's offspring.
-The world of Albion has entered the industrial revolution, complete with child labor and factories.
-The main quest is about becoming (first half) and then being (second half) king of Albion.
-Many of the game's more traditional RPG elements have been discarded, no HUD, next to no leveling, very little inventory (If I recall correctly).
-"Empathic" weapons will be included, weapons that change in size and appearance depending on the players actions, how much they use them, and their alignment.
-The dog will be returning, through no doubt in a new incarnation.
So that's what we know so far, as long as this thread is active I'll try to update this post as new information becomes available.
Now, assuming that you could directly influence the development of this game and perhaps prevent it from being the massive letdown that we all see coming a mile away, what would you put in the game?
Personally, I would add;
-More persistent maps, I really disliked all the little areas and load times.
-Larger towns, all the towns in the original seemed really small and boring, I want bigger and better.
-A greater magical presence in the would; more magic users, more creatures (seriously, all you fought in the last game were bandits and those stupid goblins.)
-Steampunk anything, the industrial revolution as a setting? Come on, it's a necessity.
-Better endgame, the last game had no real endboss the the ending was just a massive pissoff. One wish for me and then the old lady gets to keep the Tower of Power? Bullshit!
-Armor and better clothing, really, in the last game all the clothes made you look like an idiot.
-More choices in the storyline. Self-flagellatingly good or kitten-eatingly evil, Fable 2 still gave you the same story.
EDIT -Ooh, I've got another one, a more serious tone. Not like, super gritty and serious, but less silliness, it ruined the mood in the game sometimes. END EDIT
That's all I can think of for now.
Two more things:
1- Try to limit the "It doesn't matter, this game will suck anyway." posts. We all know Peter Molyneux's reputation and this thread is about how you would made the game better.
2- Just a complaint from me: So in the sixty years that passed between games, Albion has gone from maybe the equivalent of the 16th century to the late 18th-early 19th century? Stupid. And of course even though by the end of Fable 2 the player was invariably filthy rich, their kid will likely start the game dirt poor and clawing their way to the top? That makes no sense.
