Fable III confirmed - Page 5

**Drakul** · 08-17-2010, 10:52 AM

Two of the new jobs you can have in the game are pie baker and lute player. They work like rhythm action games.

**Drakul** · 09-20-2010, 11:37 AM

The achievement list has been revealed. No real spoilers but it does spoil some quests, minor characters, collectable items and mini-games. One is related to the end of the game so I've set that as a seperate spoiler. It's not the actual achievement that's a spoiler, it's more to do with the image that comes with it.
Minor spoilers ahoy:

SPOILER: show

Edit: A Lionhead dev has confirmed the game will have Avatar Awards but he wont say what they are or how we get them.

I hope there is gratuitous cartoon nudity because it makes me smile.

I'm sure the PC version will have a sex mod before the end of the first week.

Then no cartoon nakedness for you. Unless you dye a female heroes clothes flesh coloured. That's as close as you'll get.

**BigDaddyCool** · 08-18-2010, 12:04 PM

Is it too much to ask for nudity in games that are already designed for adults? I mean not like hardcore sex or anything, but the occasional tit. I kinda miss that in media. Remember in Lethal Weapon that there was nudity for the sake of nudity but it wasn't obscene or in your face about it. I want to see that in video games. And Fable might as well being they you can have sex in the game.

**Drakul** · 08-18-2010, 12:08 PM

There is no nudity because anytime anyone shows off any piece of flesh that isn't a face or a hand, the media go into a frenzy about the "corrupting effects" of games on little children, ignoring the fact that any game with nudity is for adults anyway and that gaming is mostly undertaken by adults these days.
It's still viewed as a childrens toy by most forms of media.

**BigDaddyCool** · 08-18-2010, 12:09 PM

Fuck the media, they need to balls up and make a game then ride the wave of free ads.

**Drakul** · 08-19-2010, 12:52 AM

If they put in sex, it's almost a guaranteed Adult Only rating in the US which means no store will sell it. So they'd likely lose a lot of money.

This video from Gamescom isn't on YouTube yet but you can watch it here. Peter Molynuex talking about Fable III for 10 or so minutes. Nothing new unless you count the gameplay behind him but he does mention how we can shape the game to play the way we want.
By unlocking chests, we can make the game more about combat or business or family etc.

**BigDaddyCool** · 08-19-2010, 09:56 AM

That is so much crap. We can sell R rated movies anywhere, but not r-rated games. That makes me mad.

**Funky Fly** · 08-19-2010, 03:43 PM

Games are for toddlers, nigger. I don't want to see any fucking while I'm busy stealing cars and killing hookers.

**BigDaddyCool** · 08-19-2010, 03:57 PM

Nigger? That is our word!

**Drakul** · 08-20-2010, 03:26 AM

I pre ordered the LE of Fable III a few weeks ago. For �52 I was getting the stuff I listed when the LE was announce but GAME have added 3 more items for preordering.

So, now, I'm getting the LE stuff:
The game (obviously) with special boxart.
An extra quest that takes place in a haunted forest called Silverpines.
An extra sword called the Wolfsbane which is powerful against wolves and balverines.
An extra region that is "Ideal for settling down with the family and finding new treasures"
A realworld set of Fable III playing cards with characters on them.
A realworld guild seal coin to flip when I get a tough choice.
An extra dog breed (boxer) "Known for its loyalty"
An extra outfit from Aurora.
All in a fancy looking "large leather-bound book" style case.

Plus I'm getting the pre order bonuses they just added yesterday:

The Dragon Breath tattoo set.
The Absolver, Hammers weapon from Fable II.
A code to use the villager maker which means a new quest.

Not bad for the extra �12, I'd say. I've also pre ordered the Fable III controller which is supposed to come with a tattoo set but GAME doesn't mention it so maybe they just used it for the Pre order of the game. I need a new controller anyway. The very next day they bumped up the price of the controller but I still get to pay the cheaper price.

What I want to know is, if I set up home with my Fable III family in this extra region, how can I take someone to see them online if they don't have the LE? Will the region be on the disc but just be locked away?

**Drakul** · 09-03-2010, 01:35 AM

A little explination on the chest system. It's a system where you open chests as you progress to, supposedly, shape the way you want the game to play.

And they've update the villager make so you can now make black villagers.

There are other videos of walkthroughs but that's going into spoilers and we don't really learn anything new about the game besides story and quests.

**Kalyx triaD** · 09-03-2010, 01:49 AM

I have no idea how to feel about this, or even why they'd do that.

**Drakul** · 09-03-2010, 01:57 AM

A part of me thinks it's a way for them to see what they should do with Fable IV.
Through out the development of Fable III, they've spoken about stats and figures from Fable II (60% didn't change clothes, XX% didn't change weapons etc) so I could see them gathering numbers from this to see how many opened all the chests or how many only opened combat chests and so on.
From that, they could decide what to focus IV on and what features are wasting space.

**Funky Fly** · 09-03-2010, 02:05 AM

If they're tracking that (ad you know they are), then Drak's right on the money. But it also does control the pace a lot better and make sure that you never play the game the same way twice. There was a bit of that in Fable 2, but not on this level.

**Kalyx triaD** · 09-03-2010, 02:12 AM

It's a compelling design choice that I'd like to see widespread reaction to.

**Drakul** · 09-03-2010, 06:17 AM

New screens. Screens 1 and 3 show two looks the Hero can have. Screen 2 is another character (Called Ben Finn, I think) and I don't know what screen 4 is about.

Someone at the Lionhead Forums compiled a list of all the Co-op info we have to date.

Quote:

General Information
1) When you enter someone else's game, you will arrive as your own Hero and bring your own dog with you.
2) The players aren't tied together anymore and can traverse the region seperately when online.
3) When playing co-op offline the players will still be tied together like they were in Fable II, although the camera has been improved a little since then.
4) Orbs appear on the 3D map in the Sanctuary as well as in the regions themselves.
5) Any gold, items or followers found in someone else's world can be brought back to your own.
Relationships
1) A.I. characters have relationships with the visiting player and will remember these relationships.
2) If you don't visit the same world often your relationship with characters there will suffer.
3) You can attempt to steal your host's spouse if you wish.

Families
1) Heroes can use Touch expressions on each other and have sex if they wish.
2) Two Heroes can marry one another.
3) Children stay in the world they were born in.
4) If the visiting player doesn't visit and interact with their child often enough then the relationship will suffer.
5) A Hero can have multiple A.I. and co-op spouses in their game.
6) Married players have a joint bank account that any of them can access for purchases.
7) Married players will be recognised as Kings and Queens if they've passed the coronation point in the game.
8) Married players share a home in that world and can decorate it as they please, overwriting each other's decisions if needs be.
9) A message in your world will inform you of any developments (divorces for example) in other worlds you have family in, when you go online.
10) Children go to orphanages or workhouses if two married players divorce.

Business Partnerships
1) Players can choose to pool their money and become business partners by paying for property together.
2) While the largest decisions about ruling will be left up to the host player, visiting players will be able to make some minor judgements too.
3) A message in your world will inform you of any business developments or give you profits from other worlds when you go online.

Combat
1) While there are no canned co-op attacks, the game's combat is tailored towards co-op.
2) Co-op doesn't increase the amount of enemies or how tough they are.
3) The game can recognise when two players have combined their abilities in an impressive way, and will reward extra followers for doing so.
4) Despite the emphasis on single player spell-weaving, two players casting single spells can weave those effects if cast at the same time and place.

**Kalyx triaD** · 09-03-2010, 12:04 PM

Answers some questions. Very nice.

**BigDaddyCool** · 09-03-2010, 12:30 PM

Will we be able to see the sex or will it all just be a cock tease. I mean I'm not playing games to see sex or tits or anything like that. But if they are going to hint at it, they might as well go the full monty.

**Funky Fly** · 09-03-2010, 03:52 PM

Probably just hint like before.

**BigDaddyCool** · 09-03-2010, 04:06 PM

I know, it is just a coke tease.

**Funky Fly** · 09-03-2010, 04:13 PM

Hell, you called people to have sex with you with the hot coffee expression. They know better than to do full on digital humping. They would if Jack Thompson would just fuck off tho.

**BigDaddyCool** · 09-03-2010, 04:16 PM

**Funky Fly** · 09-04-2010, 01:10 AM

I'll be right over for some sex.

**Drakul** · 09-09-2010, 10:23 AM

Interview from PAX. There are a couple of minor spoilers though. I go into more spoiler detail in the blacked out text in the brackets.
A new expression is seen at 2:18 assigned to the X button (Rodeo). We also see a decision being made early in the game at 2:48 which seems very very minor but I think it will change how that spefic thing will unfold (I'm betting a hug makes it a friendship and a kiss makes it a romance and her part in the story changes based on that because she has been talked about by devs in the past. A childhood friend/sweetheart.). We also get told one of the bigger decisions we'll have to make as ruler at 5:15. I'm hoping all the big decions are that interesting. (Draining the lake could mean that we could get other decisions that will alter the landscape. Can't wait to see how I can change the actual world.)

**Kalyx triaD** · 09-09-2010, 02:42 PM

I've seen enough. Going dark until I play this baby.

**whiteyford** · 09-09-2010, 03:19 PM

I have such high hopes for this i preordered the Limited edition.

**Drakul** · 09-16-2010, 12:57 PM

Fable III LE unboxing:

New screens of our Hero/Heroine. Looks to be Co-op mostly:

Loving the morphed hammer.

Probably not the Hero, just a guard:

G · 09-16-2010, 01:20 PM

I wanted to get the LE, but the reg version comes with a $20 credit. So I'd be missing out on $40. Not cool man

**Funky Fly** · 09-16-2010, 02:27 PM

Haha, I got my LE preordered from the most out of the way gamestop ever. No lines on the 26th for me.

**whiteyford** · 09-16-2010, 02:57 PM

I want this so badly it hurts!

G · 09-16-2010, 03:37 PM

I should just get it anyways since it's a "birthday" present to myself and I really want it.

**Drakul** · 09-17-2010, 03:14 AM

Interview:

A minute of co-op combat:

At the end of the co-op video, it looks like they were trying a double team move but one player performed it to early. Looked like they were going to sandwhich the enemies head between their hammers. Seems likely considering PM was trying to get them to do a flourish at the same time to the same enemy.

**Kalyx triaD** · 09-20-2010, 02:54 PM

By the way, who will I be adventuring with?

**Funky Fly** · 09-20-2010, 04:10 PM

Possibly me. But if you like it then you better put a ring on it.

**Kalyx triaD** · 09-20-2010, 06:45 PM

I'd be a married man before our first quest.
