Hello All,

Okay yesterday I just got done playing from
noon to 2 am, the game Fable 3. Keep in mind I completed about half of the side quests and didn't spend much time on things that would made the game longer like working to make some gold.
Popular: Right now if you go to gamestop.com, you will see Fable 3 at the top on their list of
Best Sellers, beating out Warcraft expansion pack, call of duty and the force unleashed 2.
For the time being. So before I start let me say my post contains some spoilers so you have been warned
Moral Choices in Fable 3Okay, this is what is really
interesting. You spend the first half of the game trying to build up support to people to take the crown and you all promise them something different. However once your King the game doesn't stop.
There is a new threat on your land. And you need gold.
Your placed on the Kings throne while two seperate people try to persuade you to their cause. The choices are hard because I believe one choice was to turn an orpange into a "sex for money" place. You would gain a huge bonus in gold or turn it into a place fo people without a home.
This is exactly what I have been wanting.
What can we sit on Throne in Bioware expansion pack and made choices effected others etc. Some moral choices aren't as clear as day for example. A group of people are protesting outside the Kingdom. While your brother is still the king he bring's about four of them inside
He asks you to make a choice save the four workers or save your childhood love of your life. If you don't have an answer he will kill them all. Your childhood friend is saying
Pick me to save the factory workers. Really one person is going get killed. I saved her and they ended up killing the factory workers.
Some choices really are a grey line. It seems there is no right or wrong. For example at the end of the game you have to build up a certain amount of gold for an incoming attack. You can be loved by your kingdom and give them everything they ask for, but the entire kingdom doesn't have money to fund the attack. Or you can be hated and protect the Kingdom
The most
interesting choices are at the end. Where you sit in the throne and two people make a plea for something they want. Naturally I was good by nature but by every good moral investment I made in the Kingdom, the gold would lower untill I would be in the red.
You are supposed to be place on the throne by your group of supporters as a way to throw over your brothers rule. Now the promises you have been making for the first half of the game, might have to break a few in order to save your kingdom
Game Play
While playing instead of having four different spells you can cast at one time. You only had a single one. Mine for example was lighting. I found it more interesting then hack and slash while hack and slash pressing one button over and over was never appealing.
It seems a little clumsy in this game. Like he is swinging a weapon too large for his body tipping his balance to the side when he swings. Though it wasn't so unappealing that is ruined the game play for me. I used my magic spells most of the time. Making a circle around me of lighting.
I'm trying to figure out something I didn't like about the controls. But honestly maybe I would say the combat style is limited. You can swing the weapon two seperate ways or just tap one button and the lighting cast you could either cast it on one foe or several foes
In fable 1 and 2 compared to those games. I.e. in fable 1 you just hit "x" over and over repeatedly while fighting a foe. The bosses in fable 1 had a near insane amount of health and it took me maybe half an hour straight to kill one boss. In fable 3 the boss fights last around 12 minutes but doesn't mean they are not interesting
StorylineYou are the King's brother and you see what he is doing to your kingdom. As you escape the castle with two supporters. You enter into your first town where you meet a man bitter with the way your brother handled things. Saying his people need shelter and food and tax prices are too high. He says in order to prove you are a
real hero you must complete three tasks.
Then once you complete his mission. You still gather support going to another place looking at first hand what your brother is doing. For example Kids are forced to work in the street. Taxs are too high and people are hungry. Striking an emotional cord with you.
Each of the people you have to help out are not at all the same. For one an example they are out in the middle of the desert. Before you meet them you wander into a dark cave. And dark creatures start whispering to you
"You couldn't save them, they trusted you" in a deep demonic tone. Making you feel guility for past situations
While you meet another supporter in an underground place. The first half of the game is doing these quests and also you can take
job quests. Everyone of them is unique at times a bit funny. For one job quest you had to find chickens while wearing a huge chicken outfit so they would follow you back in your pin.
For another quest you are asked to romance a woman, so that her husband will get her to divorce him( a plot lined by him) and then once you complete that mission. You are faced with
moral choice, she says you can kill her husband and she will gain all the benfits of the money. Either kill him or leave
Other quests are too complex and quite funny to be able to post a detailed example of them because they are so unique. Not all quests or job quests make you battle insanse amount of foes for some they are quite funny
Now let's move to when you take control of the Throne. You have choice to either spare your brothers life or not. Once that is done you are placed in a throne room with dozens of other people while two seperate people make an arugment on what they need. The other person will dispute their claim and giving you the choice.
I think on the first day you had a total of four things you had to decide. Then the following day was three things, but the adventures are not over quite yet. You get a refreshing break by being able to still do one quest. For example one of the things were to capture a foe who had been making trouble. Allowing you to leave the throne room and go out for a while
I did not mind at all being able to sit in the throne room and make choices. It's interesting when two people place two seperate arugments up and expect you to be the person of reason. Not every choice is clear cut and if you stay good morally, then Kingdom could pay when the attack comes on.
In the final battle you face several foes of
darkness. The ones who were whipsering taunting things to you back in the desert. Have returned to your kingdom and your final battle is with them. You can still play the game after it's complete. Some people will like you while others will dislike you for what choices you made and you can see the impact of your choices.
GraphicsI know this running a bit long so I wiil try to be brief. The graphics are pretty good. Better I believe then the first Fable 1 or 2 game. You no longer have to walk "town to town". You are can just pop in anytime you want at any city with the leg work but that's game play.
The graphics engine seem to be on the level of Fable 2, if not better then that. You can see they have done everything they can to make it as detailed as they could. For example ghost figures you can see right through them. When the people whisper you in the middle of the desert. An image of an old friend who died appears and he starts shouting while the darkness whispers in your head

I would say the graphics are great.
To wrap up this post. You no longer have to travel town to town on foot. They changed that. The game is interesting and fun. Not every quest is a hardcore boss fight but some are pretty funny and silly even. They did the quests thanfullley they did not take a serious tone with everything they did.
Some quests are heated but the game is pretty much laid back. The game just came out yesterday or on monday night for those of you who have been playing the game almost non stop. My next playthrough I will play a bit of a bad king and see what happens.
Though I can't take it upon myself to kill the childhood friend no matter how many times I will replay this. (Who would want kill their childhood friend over a bunch of unknown factor workers) Those will not agree with my post about the game. Some might even say it sucks.
That's fine but please don't be vauge. Detail what about the game that sucks. Or post what you did like about the game. Favorite quest, best moral choice, or boss fight. Anything you found interesting or unique. Not everyone will like
everything about the game. However considering it's on gamestop's best seller list and the reviews on gamefly have bee so far good. I would say it's worth your money
I personally have been waiting almost a year since I know this game was coming out to play it and now it's here
edited: I try to find best screen shots I could. Remember this it's not out on PC yet. Just xbox360 just a bit harder to screen shot whats going on
