So we all know what Fable is (unnecessary sentence). But what do we WANT Fable to be? How do we want to enjoy this game? It seems Fable I came up, but was destroyed by Hype; Fable II arrived, destroyed by Hype and the numerous things taken out. Now Fable III arrived, and on the very release day people are complaining. "Weapon Morphing sucks", "The story was to short", "Being King sucks", etc. You know, but then again all Fable games end up like this.

So let US design Fable IV, let US decide how it is done. Suggestions you have?

Fishing
Yeah, fishing sucked in Fable I, but I loved the idea. I wish LH and PM would build onto this.

Quick Select
In Fable I you could assign a specific item to a D-Pad slot. I assign beer to the right slot, and press right to drink beer. Simple, easy, convenient.

Fable I's Aging System
In Fable I, as you upgraded, you aged as well. You actually GREW through the game, as time passed, it was noticeable. Fable II, you never aged unless you were selfless in the Shadow Court... which could then be reversed. I also see why most people hate it. But I LOVED how I aged with my Hero in Fable I, maybe put it back into the game one day, but at the end have a bed which makes you young again?

Leveling
PM and LH tried doing something really nice, taking out RPG Mechanics. One was leveling, and though it DOES make it more accessible, the Diehard Fable fans hate it. I liked having the different styles, increasing damage, and increasing life/speed. I loved those and what they did. I think Will should have a Styles to (unlocking level 2 spells, level 3 spells, etc etc), and a 'Focus' that increases Damage, and a 'Will' meter to increase Mana (which ought to be included). Swords and guns can be bought from stores, so I think Gauntlets should to. That'd even out all three areas.

Fairytale Feeling
In Fable I, the game was 'divided' (in a way) into many different segments, small ones. At the end of a 'segment' you watched a short scene of pictures, with a guy (Guild Master) talking in the background. This made Fable feel like Fable, and the sequels seemed Un-Fable-Like to me without this. Maybe it is just me.



Anymore?

drop the sanctuary and go back to menus, game needs to be twice as long, and the pace of the story needs to slowed down

Sanctuary wasn't good? Hm.

I agree the game should be longer, but I think most of all that time they COULD spend on it is spent on other features... such as weapon morphing (which seems cool) and all.

The Sanctuary was ok but I got annoyed having to go back to it and it was hard to keep track of your items

I figured it'd be a nice addition.

If only they'd add to it?

I wish they'd make a complex Fable, one only Fable fans could understand.

On the contrary, I believe we are all fans of the fable known as the fable games. We are all fans of the fable games that we have been promised, not the ones that have been given to us.

I somewhat liked the sanctuary, but I think they over simplified the items. Unless it was weapons or clothes, I didn't even know what I had until I went to the pawn shop.

I enjoyed the weapon morphing and the spellweaving, but wish there was still a wide selection of weapons and magic.

The real estate portion is always fun, but I just bought all the stores and stalls since I didn't want to mess with the upkeep of houses.

I personally liked the aging process that goes on as the story progresses and I definitely agreed that the game needs to be longer and the story needs more time to develop.

Sadly, all this talk makes me want to play Fable 2 in order to cleanse my palate of 3....
