I'm torn, there are things I like about Fable III but I am also left with a sense of disappointment. The first Fable for me was by far the best, once again, my opinion which I know is not shared by all. However, I think the story had more substance then either Fable II or III.
The dog...I don't mind having a pet, however, the dog seems to be a bit of a distraction sometimes. It also glitches, fairly often, getting stuck trying to find a path to the treasure, dig site or quest it is leading you too. I kind of wish there was an option to leave the dog behind.
Buying buildings and shops is more important now and I do like that but having to go to every single house to do repairs becomes rather tedious. I would have liked a "repair all" option or "adjust rent all" option.
Having to go to the Sanctuary every time I want to change my clothes or my weapon is also not my idea of fun. In Fable II going to the menu to grab the weapon, clothing, or gear I want was quicker and easier than having to go to the Sanctuary to LB, RB, LT, RT through everything.
Spells...I really liked Fable I spells better than having this single spell option. However, I do like spellweaving and combining fire/vortex as well as blades/lightning is very nice.
Weapons. Some of the weapons have quest or needs that can't be fulfilled if you get them later in the game. Now I know you can pass these weapons on to a friend, who passes them back to you when you start a new game...but maybe I dont want to run through the glitchy game again. Which brings me too...
Glitches. I already mentioned the dog being a bit glitchy but that isn't a real glitch per se. What is a glitch is the glowy path leading you in loops, a complete lockup after The Game quest (multiple people have reported this issue), Jasper's voice issues during Understone, and a handful of others that have shown up on forums. Fable I and II, for me, were not so glitchy as Fable III and in the beginning I told people to lighten up. However, I am constantly having issues now and its getting annoying.
It is my hope to have a reasonable discussion rather than a vicious tirade of why people disagree. I still like the game, its pretty and I really, really love the flourishes. I never get tired of doing a hand spring on to someones shoulders and snapping their neck with my knees. Best flourish ever!!! Once again, IMO.
Oh, one more thing and this is, next to having to pop to the Sanctuary all the time, one of my biggest disappointment with the game, social interaction with villagers. You get three choices, sometimes you dont want to do any of them. Do I want to dance with all the male villagers or give them the pelvic thrust...not that there's anything wrong with that, but no. I like the wheel of choices in Fable II and given the way social interaction works in Fable III I don't want to make friends with anyone.
