So I've got 2 hours (IRL) to kill until the guys at Brightwall forgive me, so I'll do this now.

Today I got my copy of Fable III, and even thought I haven't advanced that much into the story, I'll be happy to resolve your doubts (mainly gameplay, no spoilers here).

QUICK FACTS:
LCE
Controller Tattos
Shardbone Sword
Day 1 (-2) DLC

Ask away!

Can you buy "blank" weapons or are you stuck with the ones they gave you at the begining?

Well I'm just wondering how the framerate is (on the account of rumors that it sucks during cutscenes).

Just a random question -- did it FEEL different with how to control your weapons, magic, etc?

Each region is about the size of Bower Lake, from FII

No ATM, but I doubt that'll be an option. Pistols are invisible once again BTW.

Meh. There's the real awesome cutscenes that are perfect and there's the "gameplayesque" ones that are, well, the gameplay graphiced.

Pistols and Rifles feel more like FI to me now, probably because you aim with LT again. Melee is a bit slow, but that might just be that it's early in the game. Magic is exactly the same...

Does the Shardborne sword have some good bonuses? and what do you mean by the pistols being invisible?

Have you enjoyed your experience thus far? How would you say the introductory section of Fable 3 compares to Fable 2's Sparrow childhood sequence? Better? Worse? :)

Now finally a decent thread to look over. Tell me, does the spell system really work like this; The spell gauntlet you most use upgrade as you use it, and, there is no charging for spells, based on its level, its automatically displayed at maximum area of effect, with highest damage?

While I don't know about the Shardborne, I know the he means pistols are invisible as in they cannot be seen on your person when they aren't drawn

I love you.

Anyway, I have a few questions.

I LOVE Skill, LOVE Guns, LOVE Ranged Combat.

So are Guns in the game implemented different than Fable II?

Can you explain everything you know about the Guns in Fable III?

What weapon morphs (melee/ranged) have you encountered in the game?

Actually, I have had no access whatsoever to ANY bonus material. Seems kinda weird...

It's pretty neat, the world feels more "alive". As for the sequence, it all happens too quickly IMO, I mean, you wake up a perfectly normal day and in midnight you're already escaping!

I only have 2 spells right now, shock and inferno, so I really can't tell. You do charge and it becomes more powerful tho.
I love you.

Yes! You now aim with the LT, while keeping the Y button down gives the gun a flouris, like it's mellee counterpart.
I know they're there, I only have the starting rifle and pistol.
Only one, when you choose an upgrade in the road to rule, your weapons start glowing gylphs a bit depending on your alignment (my guns and sword are red)

One thing that always bugged me is the way people got scared when you draw your weapon, even if you were trying to save them. Is this still true?

No, and I'm fully evil and they're not running or screaming!

And how far in between are load times?
No more than 20 seconds each.
The same as Fable 2, eaqch time you enter a different region/cave.

Does the interactions with the villagers feel more real. Like do you actually feel like your interacting instead of just performing?

No. I was dissapointed with Touch, I mean, all the interactions are the same as expressions with a little, well, touching thrown in. There are even some where you don't touch people.
Now it's been said that there are no health bars in this one so how do you know when to potion and are there resurection phlails in this one?
They are shown in the d-pad (along with Slow Time and Summon potions) when you're low on health and in a fight. I've yet to use a potion, considering your health replenishes after some time. Take that Guildmaster!

Just tried the Pie Making and Lute Hero jobs, they're really fun! Only problem is that you can't get a promotion until you open a chest in the RtR.
Oh and Community Services are no longer "quests" they're actual jobs. Which is rather annoying when you owe 15,000 and each pie you make gives you 6 gold coins, with the maximum multiplier being 10...
