^that. Id play that version of Fable over 2. Unless they make that LIKE 2 then id just go play in traffic for 3 hoursJoshFTL said:
It almost feels pointless to ask for Fable 3 to go in a certain direction. Peter Molyneux already showed that he's not going to change the formula much with Fable 2. I find them enjoyable, if mediocre games, but it does make him a huge jackass to promise the moon every time and deliver only superficial improvement.
City management, with advisors ala Civilization that handle the taxing, maintenance, law enforcement, etc or you can manually have a hand.
Buildings can be erected yourself, with gardens, locations and focal points all playing a part in its worth.
Jobs that differ between one another and actually offer something higher up. Eg. Tailor would be a jigsaw type class and the highest skilled could make high class clothes. Calligraphy classes invloving tracing a word, then high levels enabling you to "sign" your items. This increases the worth dependant on your renown, and when traded people know who originated it.
Wars to come into play, with your own equipped army (from blacksmithing, gunsmithing and fletching) army facing off against others for the conquest of further land, and subsequently further income (taxing being this games rent, and thus hopefully unabusable).
I have many other ideas would should happen, but I'm probably being a bit too hopeful. I'm still one of the rare ones that thought Fable II was good.
If you're involved with politics long enough you know that what an individual states is far from what you'll get.
EDIT: Having read back through a couple of posts of mine and seeing that a complaint is "the boss was defeated by a jewelry box" I can only sit astounded.
Peter tries something new, a boss of symbolism and possibly of greater substance than your generic three stage "mega-boss" and you all basically seal the reason that games collectively are being dumbed down. Because the market is becoming more stupid and can't handle "intelligence".

I can see where you're coming from. But even I, a self-confessed Fable fan, agree that the final boss could've been improved. Why not have a standard fight first, then have him transform into a huge unstoppable monstrocity? Then you use the music box, and save Albion. Both challenging and symbolic.Textbook Bobcat said:
Ok.. Tries something uncommon. I think you knew perfectly what I meant, especially since there was comments after.GestaltEsper said:
That would defeat the point. I remember the first time I played through I shot at him straight away. If I recall, that is the only "consequence" in the game now - shoot first, ask questions later and you miss a minute of monologue.DrDeath3191 said:
Granted, it is a little bit of an anti climax, and I would have liked a boss fight. But, that would detract from the point. Lucien was only human, etc. I still pray that there's an underlying secret under the plot; otherwise I'll have to agree, it would be poor indeed.
Make a carbon copy of a succesful game, people will hate you.Boxpopper said:
Take a venture and try something new, people will hate you.
Again my point: Lucien wasn't meant to be some demi-God. Christ, why does everything have to focus on how many explosions, gallons of blood and Dragon Ball Z fights?

Well, Petes going steampunk with the Fable 3, but i think it needs to go to the 'old kingdom' and be more than 4 fucking hours long!
On the subject of Fable 3, i've learnt that half the game you spend fighting and underminning the evil king, the second half you spend as the new king. if it's less than a 20 hour game i'm not even going to rent it.

A place where the story is actually good. In the words of Yahtzee: "You think a game called 'Fable' would be all about the story."
