I'm looking forward to buying this one a lot. It looks much more promising than Fable 2.

Okay, I'll be honest, it's because of John Cleese doing some voice acting bits

But I know a lot of people around here liked Fable 2. Any you guys have the game?

Im getting it, Fable II wasn't bad but it didn't top my expectations. Lets hope this one does. But i still think it wont beat the nostalgia of Fable 1.

I'm not 100% sure I want it - I think they are moving away from the feel of Fable 1. All the thought, and ideas went into Fable 1's actual gameplay, the plot was engaging and the player got to experience the plot, rather than sit idly watching it. In Fable2, the good / evil thing was practically removed, it just didn't feel like I could be this, or that type of character, instead the plot dragged the player over obvious choices. Personally I prefer the way it works in Fallout:NV, you can make enemies or friends depending on how you act, and what choices you make. I like the idea of being hated by one faction and worshipped by another - makes the character seem more rounded. I guess what I'm most worried about is that the whole theme of Fable is changing... I mean, I have no desire to play as a king - I was happy being a nobody, making a name for myself in the Ankh-Morpork style city. In fact I wish they'd get someone like Pratchett to write the plot, gag Molyneux for a few weeks and let the player experience a game that is not designated for us, but designed for us.
It's like there's this progression that Lionhead have been aiming for, start with Fable and it's quirky sense of humour and amazing plot, let people be good or bad, let people have fun. Then Fable 2, it let people have a kid, and a little band of adventurers. Then with Fable3, let them rule the whole kingdom - seems to me that there's a big jump there, wondering if there should have been a different Fable3 before this one, maybe to conclude it - I think I'd rather see Fable3 as more of a sandbox game, lots of side quests and characters - if there was ever a time for Molyneux to NOT get lofty about a game, it was Fable3.

I got it on Friday and I'm absolutely loving it. So much better than the second one.

I would say if you enjoyed Fable 1 and thought Fable 2 wasn't so great but still enjoyed it a little, you will really like Fable 3.
Its sort of regained a little bit of its silliness in a way and some of the missions are fantastic, not the usual go here and kill this.

I would say definitely rent it out if you are unsure. Pretty much every aspect of the game has improved.

I don't like the way the menu is handled. If you want to do anything, like update any of the settings you have to hit Start, which teleports you to this room. You then have to run over to the setting that you want to adjust. Why couldn't they have mapped it to a menu like every other game in existance?

I agree.

And then sometimes you pause and it goes to a regular pause menu. What's that all about? It seems a bit like something that was a last minute decision.

The developers have a grudge with GUI's. Every interview i've seen has someone mentioning how 'crap' they are. Getting it for 360 nevertheless as I am a long time fable fan.

Nope, it only does that in cut scenes and in places with major plot points in the quest, and because of that the regular pause menu is needed, as to go from some epic speech from one of the rebels although how awesome John Cleese is, you don't want to hear him make some crack about your clothing, it just breaks the atmosphere. But I like seeing my gold in a physical state, it just makes me want to fill it all up.lol

Haven't played it yet, huge Fable 1 fan myself, I just like to point out I love the trailer. Every time it plays on TV I turn the volume up.
