In a recent interview with GameTrailers, a solemn Molyneux apologizes for all of his “atrocious mistakes” with the original Fable, then goes on to say that Lionhead has plans for Fable 3, 4, and 5. He also mentions a mystery project that the UK developer has in the works. Aside from the bittersweet irony of the face-to-face, Molyneux divulges nothing about the planned sequels or the unannounced project.
We’ve got plans for Fable 3, 4, and 5 actually. It’s a big story arc. You can see – if you play Fable 2, you’ll recognize things from Fable 1. So, that’s pretty exciting. But there is another project at Lionhead that we’ve been working on a long time. It’s kind of the result of an experiment that went incredibly well and we thought, 'this has got to be a game.’ We can’t say anything about it at all.
If there’s one thing that I can really count on, it’s Molyneux’s raw enthusiasm for what he does. Sure, the man may not have delivered on the promises of the original Fable, but you can easily see that he wants to make great games. What do you think the new project is? In a previous interview we ran, Molyneux seemed pretty revved about the possibility of a MMO.

@king3vbo - Yeah, I get the same vibe. The guy has a passion, and I like to see that from developers.
I honestly don't understand why people got so mad, yes there were things that didn't make it into the final version but I have a great deal more respect, time and money for developers who aim for the stars and fall short, but have passion, than those who churn out the same old shit year after year with a new skin.
That said, I'm always disappointed when people start talking about getting into the MMO market, I don't see them ever delivering such an immersive experience as games on a smaller scale.

Looks fun
-Changing faction via quests and actions
-Leveling without a real class system
-Aging based on play time and Will usage
-Having (or not) families and assets that play into quests as necessary to give them personal context
An MMO that doesn't have levels and class, but rather skill points (aside from EVE, I guess) could end up being very fresh
That game is everything I want to play. The setting, the mechanics, the sizeable portals, I love it all... mostly the setting though.
The only thing Lionhead has to do is give it a good plot and goal and it will be a awesome game!
Definitely has something to do with this.
