[OFFICIAL] Fable 3 Details & Discussions


Recommended Posts

Dang, you went through the game fast.

Main story is very short. The entire game is short. I'm already at 795GS, I'll have all the books/keys/gnomes (all of have like 10 left and I just started to use the guide) shortly. Still a great game. Loving it!

Only decision I regret making as queen, is the drinking one. Every town has multiply people stumbling the streets and throwing up. It's trashy.

ok where do i get the sword from that comes with the best buy preorder :/

In the 'main' sanctuary room there is a small section where you get gifts from townspeople, friends, etc... You have to walk up to it and open each gift and one of them should say Inquisitor Sword by Lionhead.

nope not there yet

ok how do i view active quest :/ looked in the manual but i see nothing

Loving this game also, but i keep noticing i'm having troubles blocking with my hammer in melee - I'll hold X but instead of blocking it does not seem to register and i just sit there, and there's no quick way to block with the hammer so it's useless unless i anticipate damage - in which case it's usually easier to just zap em quickly with magic or get blows in before they can react.

Gee, Lionhead and their 'no menus' design lol. To view the active quests go to the world map and press Y to view your current active quests =]

Finished the main storyline, last night. Seemed very short. I think, if I played straight through the main story without doing any side quests (of which I did many), it would have taken me maybe 3 1/2 hours and more than a third of that seemed just to be cut scenes. Was this slightly unsatisfying to anyone else?

Fable II seemed a bit more gratifying, and certainly seemed more of an open world, whereas this one seems to focus a little too strongly on just the main story, for my taste. They don't have anything--as far as I've seen--like the Crucible, or the Troll killing quests, or the statue posing quests. Just a lot of "Can you find my buried treasure?", "Can you take this to my friend in another town?" type quests. I also don't like that there's no longer a health or XP bar of any sort. There's no way to tell the virtual time. The world seems incredibly small. There isn't a large variety of characters. There are apparently very few choices in wardrobe and hair (I'm a girl, and I love to shop--give me a break). And something that really tweaked my cookie is that there's apparently no indicator on the map as to where you are, so navigating is a bit of a hassle.

I do, however, love the Sanctuary and the map graphics. Very neat way of doing it. I also like the way they handled the jobs a bit more.

Also, I kept all of my promises which killed almost everyone, and now that the story is over there's basically nothing to do but a handful of side quests. None of the shops are open because there's no one to run them, there are no townsfolk walking around to interact with, absolutely nothing but those side quests which I have to actively search my map for, since they aren't all over the place. On top of that, there wasn't really any sort of real payoff at the end for whatever path you chose to take. It just kind of ended, all of the main characters disappeared, and everyone is gone with apparently no way to repopulate the towns. I can only imagine that they're planning on butt-loads of DC in the near future.

I'm generally not such a critical player (except when it came to Saints Row II) and I really want to love this game as much as I loved Fable II, and maybe once I give the multiplayer mode a go I will. Right now, though, the game seems very unfinished and literally only a fraction of the previous game.

But I'll give it a few more weeks.

Dang....other people on forums are saying it's taking them twice as long as Fable 2, and so much more to explore.

Well hopefully I'm missing something, then. There's maybe one or two towns that I haven't opened up yet, but other than that it seems I'm pretty much complete. And I didn't spend that much time playing.

I'm going to restart tonight, I think, and hopefully find something I've missed.

Has anybody beat the game as a guy? I'm only missing the King's Suit for the "Fashion Victim" achievement and I can't find it anywhere in-game. I'm thinking you only get if your a male and vice versa with females with Queen's Suit.

Just need ya to gift to me, achievement unlocks and I'll gift it back. :)

No clue how you figure it's only 3 hours. My character glitched out (awesome) and is falling through the world, i've been playing my 2nd character for about 5 hours now and skipping most cut scenes and i'm not yet at part 2.

Are you spending any time on side quests, too?

I bought the game on the release date (about 7:30 that evening). I played for maybe a half hour to an hour that night, but didn't get to really dive into it until the next afternoon after work; I finished the main quest line that night. I played for more than 3 1/2 hours, obviously, but I spent a lot of time on side quests, earning money through jobs and exploring for different clothes and hair styles. I detached from the main quest for a few hours, and I played for maybe a total of 8-9 hours before the main quest was complete. So, my estimate is that, taking out the time I spent on side quests and exploring, and if I were doing the bare minimum for the main quests, it'd have taken me about 3 1/2 to 5 hours to complete.

Regardless of the exact time it took, it seemed awfully short to me. I'm not the type of person to like to rush through a game/campaign and I don't get to play all afternoon/evening every day, so it generally takes me at least a week or two to complete one--and that's the way I like it. I finished this one pretty much the first day I owned it, without trying to rush through it, or spend the entire day on it.

That's just my experience with it.

I've started a new character, and will be playing through, again.

Hopefully I'll have people left in my towns, after this one.

And by the way: I do like the game. It's enjoyable. And I would recommend it to other people (including you, Pupik). After Fable II and probably from spending so much time in Oblivion lately, it just seems to have fallen quite a bit short from my expectations.

I have seen upwards of 22 hours, but not all quests completed.

I'm around 30, but i'm also 2 achievements shy of having the full 1k. If I had a guide for all the collectibles from the get-go and didn't search myself, could probably have done everything up to this point in 20 or less easily. It's not a long game to beat. Fun however.

Edit: Fable 3 full GS!

2nd on TA and 18th on MGC.

Amazon haven't sent me my code yet. But apparently it's a bit broken, it doesn't actually keep any of your personalisation and just makes a random person.

Plus I have no idea how to get my kingmaker gold into the game. I link it to my account but it doesn't seem to have worked...

I'm really enjoying the game but that Max Payne style bullet time shooting thing is REALLY annoying as gameplay doesn't seem to stop. :[

Enemies will keep coming at you and attacking you when you can't see any of the action.

Has anybody beat the game as a guy? I'm only missing the King's Suit for the "Fashion Victim" achievement and I can't find it anywhere in-game. I'm thinking you only get if your a male and vice versa with females with Queen's Suit.

You're going to have to trade with someone over Live to get the King's suit or play another game and trade with yourself. I've been working on multiple guides (for multiple games) so my progress in the game is almost to that point to be able to trade it for you (and then back) unless someone else does before I'm there.

Edit: Nevermind, while reading other replies afterwards you said you now have all 1k gamerscore in the game. :)

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
