Re: Fable III improvements
In Fable III, I want:
An improved family/dog system. In Fable II your family doesn't feel "real." Sure, you buy them presents and screw your spouse once in a while, but is that a family? It sounds more like a brothel than a family system. I want to be able to take my son/daughter on quests, explore a real open world, like from Oblivion, I want to be able to actually feel depth and emotion for my family. I want the dog to be an important friend, who doesn't JUST dig up random crap, the dog needs to literally save your life again and again, there needs to be quests to save your dog from evil or using the dog and child to distract an enemy while you sneak up behind and slit their throat.
Improved rewards. Man, when I go through the trouble of becoming Emperor of Albion, I want to feel the power! I want some kind of in-game ceremony, where I am crowned or something, where the streets are either filled with happy faces and loads of confetti or starving children and sobbing parents (yes, morality), I want to be able to make a few great choices. Like for example, maybe I don't like Bowerstone? Blow it up. Or perhaps I want Oakvale rebuilt? We need something in the game that says you can make REAL choices that REALLY affect the world. When you left for ten years in the spire, I wanted to see Bowerstone cheering my arival back, knowing that peace and order would be restored, my wife and child running to me after I walk through a field of flowers (lol I dunno); or I want to see the sky get dark and everyone aprehensive and quiet as thew worlds greatest evil enters the town. Really now, doesn't that seem a bit more rewarding than some kid who HAPPENS to be nine by the time you return and a much more plump wife.
Improved outfitting/weaponry. Now I don't need a Runway fashion show, but it would be nice to see a bit more variety in the clothing, and better bonuses. I understand what they wanted in Fable II, they wanted no armor so that there wouldn't automatically be a "best" that everyone went for, but we need coolness. How about a pirate outift? Or something reminiscent of Jack of Blades' robes. I also want a bayonet on the end of my rifle, maybe a grenade launcher lol.
Uh, gtg, more in a bit
