Fable III

Post » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:29 am

Still waiting for mine, the mail should be here soon, but how long dose it take to finish ?

My friend rushed through and got it in 11 hours.I am currently 9 or 10 and about 3/4 of the way through.

Over all I am pleasantly surprised with it.Plenty og good and evil decisions to keep it interesting and the story is solid.

Going to get mine at midnight. :D I really loved Fable 2 and yet didn't like the first one at all. So am hoping that if the series is just increasing in AWESOME for me that I should be set for the weekend. :)

according to the reviews the mainquest is a bit too short, but if you play it with all the sidequests and whatnot then the length extends a lot. They say that Lionhead put an incredible amount of effort into the sidequests so to only do the mainquest is kind of an insult to the development team. From what I guage there I think the mainquest is probably ten hours with the sidequests added it probably extends to 25-30, maybe forty, not sure haven't played it yet

I gave up on reviewers completely when I saw one that complained about fallout NV having an ending, obsidian told them, and it just seemed petty. So reviews dont bother me.

Thats a good time imo, better than most.

Mine didnt arrive today, shame game usually delivers pre orders early, so I should get mine tomorrow :(
I am kinda disspointed though, rading produc details gave away the first choice in the game, I have a feeling about how it will end too, what the twist is. On the LH forums a guy had a good theory, I just hope its wrong, it was an interesting one, but I want it to be wrong so im suprised.

No. They're replaced with things called "guild seals" that are used to unlock abilities linearily. You don't level up certain skills, per say, like in previous Fables.

Damn. Oh well, I'm still going to get this but Xp orbs were one of my favorite parts of fable.

I went to the midnight release at my local Game and um...annoyed....a number of people in the queue. ;) I was near the end of a queue about 20 people and just standing, chatting to one of the staff cuz I've been in there a bit recently, then the manager came and handed me a collectors edition of the guide and said 'I thought id give you this because there's only 3 and they'll probably be gone by the time you get to the desk'. Cue MANY dirty looks from people waiting....um. Ooops. :) Pays to get to know the staff. :D

Can't say I was planning on getting another fable game.... Nothing from the last 2 have even tried to convince me that I should do so.

I beat it last night, and damn, what a good game. Comparatively good to Fable 1, I must say. It has redeemed the series for me. (I was disappointed in Fable II after how awesome Fable 1 was, and I wasn't sure what to expect for Fable III. I was VERY pleasantly surprised)

I haven't played Fable 3 yet, but I've got to totally disagree. I was absolutely disappointed with the first Fable, but was pleasantly surprised with the second (although I never bought it. A friend gave his copy to my brother).

I played F:TLC and loved it. I don't have an Xbox so I missed out on Fable II but am looking forward to getting my hands on Fable III.

I get my copy tomorrow, and I'm babysitting me lil sis as well - hoping to introduce her to RPGs (she's 12, so not too far out of the age range) - I think the Fable games are a good "starter" RPG, not deep or particularly complex in any way, but I don't expect them to be :)

you have renewed my interest. i liked fable 2 (not having played fable 1 till later) so im sure ill love fable 3. funny thing is, i take what molyneux says with a grain of salt and dont expect much from what he says. will more than likely wait till christmas or maybe ill decide to buy Gothic 4 instead.

You already beat it?

Does that mean the game is short, or that you did a very long marathon session?

hmmm, I'm on the fence with this one. I have read the main quest is only about 10hours long (shockingly short) but side quests will push the game to 20-30hrs (better)
Ive also read it's rather shallow but the presentation is good. A case of style over substance perhaps?
I'll wait for the customer reviews on gamespot.com for the pc version before committing.

Nope. I have Fable TLC and it was so bad I have no intention of ever getting another Fable game.

Okay, Im confused because Im getting mixed responses. Fable II allowed you to continue playing after finishing the main questline, is this so in Fable III? Are you allowed to play on after finishing it?

I've been led to believe you aren't, and I would appreciate if someone cleared it up. :)

Granted I've only played it a couple of hours but I really love it. It's retained a lot of the stuff I really enjoyed about Fable 2 (ie combat style, gorgeous graphics etc). It's pretty much a winner in my book. It's probably not perfect but it's definitely going to give me a lot of enjoyment.

The only thing I'm not sure about (not really a spoiler but you might want to look away if you're precious about it) is that during the loading screens it's got my stats, but also that of another XBox Live player as well? No one that's on my friends list so I'm not sure how it chooses someone? Is it random each time you play? Maybe looks for someone playing at the same time or something...

Two long marathon sessions. :D

You can keep playing after the end.

Agreed. I was very pleased with the story, but I didnt like the ending. End spoilers in tag
Spoiler
I felt as though they kinda ran out of steam, I dont know the intentions, or origins of the crawler. I still think its the court of blades, but I just wish it didnt end like it did. I liked Logain too, mainly because he wasnt a bad guy for the sake of being bad, and I also became quite like him, the choices were bad, but I flet they needed to be done. What do you think the crawler is ? I was always expecting a referance to the court, especially jack, the minions only furthered my suspicions.

That out of the way the game is fun, and pretty long, I didnt like the weapon morphs, and will restart and hope my weapon dosent end up as ugly as last time, I am also mixed about combat, I cant gain new moves, I dont know if counter attacks are back, I dont know how I do those cool cinimatic moves and thats about it. I like the new regions though also this game can be funny, unlike fable 2.

Ha! Lucky you ;D

I'll ask to get it for Christmas probably but I'm still going through NV and I'd like to do at least 2 playthroughs of that before I pick up anything else.

I'm not sure what the Crawler is. I doubt it is another member of the Court of Blades, though. All the members of the Court, except for Jack, had their soul destroyed by William Black. The minions do make me wonder, however.

Spoiler
True, but the crawler said about "no more deals" or something along those lines, and im sure the court made deals to the people of albion, well demands, but that part had my attention and so did the part about blinding people, since Jack blinded theresa, most likely im clutching at straws, but still. Also did you expect at the ending theresa to have an evil grin on her face. After he was on about how people stay blind, and it all went dark I was like "knew she was evil" but then she said some things and it all went back to normal... I was just paranoid at that part I think.
