Say one thing for Lionhead. Say it likes to keep us on a short leash with its teases. Not exactly giving us much to work with, the Microsoft thrall has released a single screenshot of upcoming life-changer Fable III.
There's really not a lot else we can say, but we thought you might be interested. For what it's worth, Fable III is looking like it might be good, but it's hard to judge that from just one screen. Let us be having some video, or at least more than a single picture at a time, please!
The game, designed with Project Natal in mind, is due out for release near the end of this year. Who is picking it up?

Seriously, you could be the minimum "fatness" in that game and it would still look like your character had participated in a competitive eating contest every day of his life.
press kit trickle aside, I'm picking this game up based on really enjoying the other two, and from the info that came out during X10: doesn't quite sound broken...yet. I could honestly see Fable III getting real RTS real quick.
I want to see some gameplay on when you become the King/Queen and how difficult and involving that is. That could be quite fun. I want tough choices that make me pause and think about the intended and unintended consequences of my actions. So few games really do that beyond save/kill this person. I want something like the choice before the final battle in Dragon Age that made me really consider the pros and cons of that decision. If you trap that essence into an entire game that would be something worth buying.
As it is I don't need a another watered down RPG that appeals to the masses. I need more of that dying breed of RPG that sucks you in for 100 hours and actually has a story that doesn't seem to come for a children book.
Not true. I loved Oblivion, but complex the combat was not. In Fable 2 You had melee combos, spells, and ranged attacks that could be combined effortlesly in battle. The fact that you decided to spam one particular kind of attack to beat the game is your problem, not the game's. Most games can be spammed once you work out how. If you want to play it that way fine, but don't use it as ammunition to attack the game with - it's lazy gameplaying that made you do it, not the instruction manual.
Also why would they set the game in the times of early industrilization that is a lame period of history!

10/10 for constructive points there!
This.
Ah yes I see how that is a problem with the game. ^_^
