Fable III confirmed

[Drakul]

I'm a little bored right now so I thought I'd update on Fable III
8 minute interview


Some compiled info:

SPOILER: show

◦Fable III will be out in 2010 (supposedly November 1st)
◦In Fable III you start out as the son or daughter of the Fable II hero
◦Fable III will read your save file of II
◦The Dog will be returning in Fable III
◦There are extreme morphs such as Demon and Angel wings that will come out when you hit the expression
◦In Co-op you can bring your own hero and even your dog. you have separate screens and are not tied together but you have to stay in the same region.
◦Three Regions will be returning from Fable II (Bowerlake, Bowerstone & Fairfax Gardens)
◦Your weapon will morph with you depending how you use it, if you kill innocents it drips blood if you only kill enemies it will glow. It may curve depending on how you use it. Texture and colour depends on what creatures you kill.
◦Aurora has been confirmed as another continent
◦The touch system will allow you to hold hands drag people and throw your child up into the air amongst other things. It is context sensitive so when you meet someone you'll shake hands but when you get to know them better it will become a hug etc.
◦There will be more gore when you kill something if you are evil.
◦Many finishing moves have been added into the combat system
◦Fable III will have no HUD
◦Natal will be used in Fable III but it is completely optional.
◦You start out at the age of 18
◦There is no longer experience it is replaced by the number of followers you have.
◦Expressions make a return on the directional pad along with touch.
◦Your weapons will be unique to your Gamertag.
◦ Your Gamerscore effects your weapon, mostly visually.
◦ You can trade your customised weapon online and it will be named after your Gamertag. E.G. *Gamertag*s Hammer of Hobb-Killing.
◦ In Co-Op you can marry the other player.
◦ Magic has no cap and will just keep charging as long as you hold the button. You could charge your magic for hours and unleash a "Thermonuclear" like attack.
◦ Magic isn't set like it is in Fable II. In Fable III, your magic is set to items you wear (the example Peter Molynuex gave was rings). You wear the small items and each one has a magic attack.
◦ Magic can be weaved togethor. For example, weaving a fire attack and a wind attack togethor.
◦The name of the tyrant king is Logan

Fable III tie-in:

Can gamers expect a tie-in product similar to Fable II: Pub Games for Lionhead's upcoming Fable III? Microsoft's Peter Molyneux told attendees at X10 that something was in the works. Molyneux wouldn't detail the tie-in, only teasing that the product is "a really cute, very very cute 'outside of Fable III' experience that I'm not talking about." Molyneux, who felt a need to reiterate how adorable the "experience" will be, proclaimed: "It's really, really cute. It's not Pub Games." Sadly, whether the "really cute" experience would be a Xbox Live Arcade release wasn't confirmed. What is confirmed, however, is that this thing should be pretty ugly. No. Wait, forgive us. We're pretty sure he said cute.

Source. Since that article was posted, I'm sure it has been confirmed as an XBLA thing.

Some intersting stuff. Marrying the other player is going to be something I'm sure a lot of gaming couples will do. If we can marry another player, do you think we can have kids with them? Sounds like it could be used as a 2-player fantasy based life sim.
I'm liking the whole weapon morph, magic weave thing to. Hope it's extensive.
