This might be a little... too attentive to detail, but I really enjoy the emotions that really just gave you some life to your Heroes in Fable I and II. Like seeing the fear on your hero's face and gestures when you see their entire life get turned upside down, or comforting your dog when you first step into the crypt in Bowerlake.
I prefer that over the voiced hero we have in Fable III. It just didn't feel so much as your hero as it was the Lionhead's non-canon books. Fable III does have some emotional moments in the game, but it still didn't feel like it was your King or Queen. Your Sparrow's (or whoever you headcanoned to be the parents) baby who raised them. That's just me.
