Its a fact. Everyone's correct to a degree. Beat it the other day, spent 3 hours looking for something resembling an arena before getting online and finding out there isn't one. A Fable game without an arena/crucible is like a car without a tire. I'm sorry, it's a fact.
The core game itself I did find very satisfying, both gameplay and story-wise. I will say that I do very much miss the classic Fable experience system, and loathe this "Road to Rule" joke to the core of my gaming heart. You're telling me I need to spend valuable (and after endgame, EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET) experience points on social interactions and clothing dyes?
Alot of you "DLC now" whiners need to understand that Lionheart is, first and foremost, a business. They don't "owe" us a damn thing. As crappy as that sounds, its true. They are in this for money, which I completely understand, regardless of how disappointed or happy I am.
On the other hand, those of you that constantly blather to the "DLC now" whiners about doing the achievements, and finding books, gnomes, trading weapons, etc. need to understand that to some people (myself included) that all that sounds about as exciting as playing an MMO, or cleaning an entire house using a toothbrush. Sure it serves something resembling a purpose, but spending hours grinding for random points and stupid little badges on our 360 profiles doesn't mean jack to us, and is certainly not what we paid for. Not everyone is a completionist.
After beating the game, there's nothing. Literally. That's a problem. It IS possible to have substance after endgame, without DLC, and there is decidedly none in Fable 3.
Lastly (and a tad on the random side), where are all the loose women in this game? For real, it seems everyone is either a saint or a prostitute (and there are what, like 4 of them, in the ENTIRE WORLD?). There IS a middle ground, you know.
"Not until we're married."
What the heck do you mean? Not only am I a fabulously wealthy king, I'm also practically a god compared to the rest of the world, and according to that little bar I'm RIDICULOUSLY sexy. I should be paying women NOT to want to have sex with me. Even mormon girls would be falling over themselves to get with something like that.

I have yet to come close to beating fable 3 yet. I've had to restart a couple of times due to bugs and glitches and bad choices. Still I'm having a blast, as long as I keep in my head that this is not like fable or fable II. If I look at it as it's own entity then its not too bad. Not great, not even close, but amusing.
