Saw this came out the other day, and I really enjoyed the first two.

Anyone been able to tear themselves away from Minecraft and New Vegas long enough to try it out?

I bought it, but i it's sitting on a shelf until I finish New Vegas. If I don't have a chance to finish Fallout by the time Assassin's Creed comes out it'll get pushed back until I finish that. I probably should have held off and just bought it used a few months from now.

Unless I win that Wowhead contest or it comes out for PC eventually, I'll sadly miss out on this title. Smiley: frown

Picked this up last night and played a bit of it. I like it so far. Sort of a Fable II Redux as far as gameplay goes. You don't start as a street rat this time, so that's something.

I think this game has a lot of the same zones that Fable 2 had such as Bowerstone market for example although it takes place 50 years later so a few changes.

I am starting to find the house repairs to be kind of annoying. I am to the point I own several houses and seems like every other day I have to go through looking at them to see which of them has decayed the most. I guess they are trying to add realism to renting but seems like maybe they could have automaticed this abit more. Is there perhaps something later on in the game that just auto repairs houses if you have the money? The cost isn't a big deal just a pain having to browse through every town to see what houses are yours and having to check each and every one of them.

A feature I'm excited about is co-op play. Instead of creating a generic character, you can actually port your character to someone elses game, dog and all, and play with them. You can even marry each other and have babies.

I realize this last isn't exciting to anyone else, but I'm a girl.

I enjoyed Fable II until I completed it, then I was SOOOOO disgusted, that I traded it in straight away. I'm not going to buy this, I might Lovefilm (Netflix for us island types) it, or if my brother gets it I'll just play his copy.

I don't have but maybe 5 hours gameplay into it and I swear I feel like I have beaten the game. Ok I am going to offically flag this response as spoilers so be warned..












So I took the throne and I am king of the land. I have been playing the game as the "Good Guy". I did however execute Logan as I couldn't just pardon him. IF I would have had a choice to throw him in jail (which would have been a good in-between choice), Id have done that. I choose to lower taxes, build a school, help the sand people, and not restore old bowerstone. Now I am at the point where I gotta quest for a diamond. Im not sure if at this point the whole game is on a timer, or if the days till the invasion don't count down until doing the royal duties. I am hoping its the later as I have started going back and doing quests, making money, etc. I own prob 90% of the houses in the game so I am getting decent income while playing.

Anybody gotten farther than I have that can give me a hint of what I should do without spoilers? Basically how does the timer work. Guess thats all I really need to know.

That's pretty awesome. Too bad it's not for PS3. Smiley: frown

You could gay marry in the other games, so I assume so. And you can adopt in Fable III, so I assume you can have gay babies. Not sure how that works yet.

No, sir, you cannot. Once my husband tears himself away from his EverQuest 1999 Emulator, I'm going to force him to make a character so I can marry him. I'm not sure how it'll work when you have babies, though. Maybe I can hire a nanny?

Has anyone had any problems with this game yet? I'm supposed to fight my way to the docks with Simon Pegg Ben Finn, but I can't engage in battle. Smiley: frown

Just beat the game last night, this game is WAY to short. I guess they want to you spend alot of time on side quests. I did a pretty good chunk of side quests and still beat it within 7 to 8 hours. What gameplay it did have was good though. I did notice there is an area I wasn't able to open up down by the ocean. Not sure if its reserved for add-on content, or if I have to complete a certain quest to unlock it. Can't get the achievement for buying all the houses in the game over the stupid gnomes. Guess you can't buy that guys house until you find all the gnomes which I have very little desire to do.

As did I. I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to continuing on and finishing up some quests, stuff like that. I love trying to open the demon doors, but I've only found about three and I can't open any of them yet. I'm hoping I can open the one near Aurora now that I've finished the game, but I don't know.

How did you solve your problem of not being able to engage the enemy you posted about last night?

I surfed Allakhazam while Ben Finn did most of the killing. Then, at one point, I was able to press the A button and pet my dog randomly while he was shooting the guards. After that, I was able to attack.

It was very odd, but I was glad I could engage. Ben Finn takes forever to kill people. Smiley: frown

I played through the game as a really good guy, and as a really bad guy. Ending was pretty much about the same both ways. When I played through as good I saved enough money to save most of the people. When I was evil I kept all the money for myself and had 0 dollars in the bank. I would have really expected a different ending like all the people died or something like that.

Anyways anybody know what to do with sunset home? I went in there after dark and i can move statues but don't know what I am supposed to do with them. Also it looks like there should be another area I can go to along the beach south of silverpine but I can't figure out how to get there. Looks like there is a blocked door or something in silverpine but I don't see anyway to open it. Looked the game up on gamefaq's but not alot of info up other than a straight walk through.

I played through twice as a good guy. The first time, I didn't have any money at all, and everyone died. Now, when I go to a town, it's incredibly depressing. There are only guards around. Second time, I had enough invested in property I saved every last person. I was sort of proud of myself.

I wanted to start a bad guy, but damn it, I'm not sure I can do it.

Sunset house: Whatever position the statues are in during the day, you have to put them in that same position at night. Then you can go in the house and "play" a game with Chesty. (Don't get excited, this isn't some chick with big boobs.) That's about all I've done so far, and I haven't been back. I keep meaning to but...

South of Silverpine: I don't know about the door. But I read somewhere that there's a quest to restore a bridge and you can get to the area on the beach to the south. I know near Mourningwood, there's an area you can get to if you are evil and you kill some guy in Mourningwood as a quest that someone gives you. But I haven't done it. You can't pass through the burning door unless you are "evil in your heart" or something like that.

Anyway, I had the quest to restore the bridge to the gypsy camp place, but nothing else yet. I'm thinking maybe I got that part wrong somewhere, but I'm not sure where yet.

Edited to add spoilers, JIC.

Finally got a chance to start this game, and I'm wondering how you guys have if finished so quickly. I've got seven hours in and I'm not even king yet. Did you not bother with any side quests and just run straight through the story?

I skipped a lot of side quests my first time through. Something about that golden trail, I don't know. I feel pressure to follow it. Smiley: lol My second time through, I did almost all the side quests before I became queen.

I can't believe what they've done to the series...Fable 3 feels like a couple steps back from Fable 2 :( I'm really disappointed with the simplified upgrade system; I mean, really, I go around opening chests? Gauntlets instead of a wide variety of spells to choose from? They should've just improved upon the menu system IMO.

Also, I hate that I can't fail at emotions now, and there's no difference between male and female heroes. I don't know what they were thinking.

I finally got around to playing this again. I'm not sure how you could manage not save everyone unless you didn't bother to buy any real estate. By the end of the game I had so much gold I not only kept all of my promises and saved everyone, but had millions left over.
