Re: Fable 3 announced!!!
Aw. I was hoping Scythe would end up being your guide in this installment. Oh well.
Anyway, this is really exciting. I wish they would have given out more information, but this will do for now. I love the new logo, as well; it kind of gives off a serious, yet still magical feel. I hope the game retains it.
I also like the idea of the dynamic touch thing mentioned in the IGN article. Hopefully, this will help to make in-game relationships feel a lot more... real, I guess would be the word.
Your character acting as a ruler seems pretty awesome as well, especially since being a ruler apparently opens up a ton of side quests, if I interpreted that section correctly. However, I must ask: since you're apparently the ruler, how would renown work? After all, you're kind of the king of everything, you know? I suppose you'll get all the renown you need in the first half of the game or something.
Your character being the son/daughter of your Fable II character is interesting. When I first read that, I thought of how cool it would be if your starting alignment mirrored your mother/father's, but I guess that would be a little inconvenient. The biggest question I have, though, is how the game will work if you don't have a Fable II save. My guess is that it'll randomly generate a parent for you or something.
But yeah, this is amazing. I'm currently telling my older brother all about it. He's pretty excited as well.
