Set 50 years after the events of Fable II, the continent of Albion (where the Fable series is set) is under the control of Logan, a tyrant king and the Hero's older brother[1]. The player's character, the "Hero", is forced into a quest to become a revolutionary leader to defeat Logan after he reveals his true personality to the Hero. Over the course of the first half of the game, the Hero will overthrow Logan and become ruler of Albion themselves. During the second half of the game, a strange force from Aurora, called The Darkness will threaten Albion and the player has to decide how to react to it.

SCORE: 4 / 5

 

Story:

Your brother, the king, is a tyrant to his subjects. You flee the castle to gather allies for a war against his army. But there is more to the story than it seems. Can you save the people of Albion?

The story is nice, with ínteresting twists!

Characters are very well written in my opinion, some I really loved, others I really despised!

 

Visuals:

Graphically I'd say this is the best looking game out of the series so far. The designs are slightly less stylized than Fable 1 and 2, but still recognizable as one of the franchise. Characters have way more facial expression now and the world is gorgeous. Some parts of the game, especially when moving on the maps, is quite blurry. Also, we have the fps cap.

I dream that one day, this game will come to PC with 60fps.

 

Gameplay:

For the most part, it plays like the previous Fable games. They changed a few things though. Enemies don't drop four different types of level orbs (skill, strength, will and experience) that you have to manually collect anymore, they drop guild seals you can exchange on the so called "Road To Rule", for certain skills and Expressions that are locked in chests. A bit of an odd decision.

You can sell ALL your stuff at Pawnbrokers now. The insane amount of property you can buy can now be managed directly from the map, to adjust rent and prices. The condition of houses you rent out decreases, so you need to repair them regularly.

The skill-level for jobs like blacksmithing also needs to be bought with guild seals now, which also seems a bit weird to me.

 

The idea 3D maps you can inspect freely is awesome, I just wish they would REALLY represent the actual world you walk in.

They also placed a LOT of enemies only a few meters apart, so you are non-stop fighting, unless you run through.. which I ended up doing a lot by the end.

 

Difficulty:

Similar to the other games, Fable III isn't hard. If you fall, you'll lose progression for ONE guild seal, which you get back quite quickly.

 

Grind:

Without going to go too much into detail.. if you want to be a really good character, you'll have to grind, a LOT.

Pure gameplay for me was maybe 15-16h. the last 4-5 hours were pure grind.

 

Bugs:

I didn't have many, just a few visual bugs, but nothing game-breaking while I played.

I had started up the game before to see if it runs well, and when I tried to start it up later, a save file must have been corrupted, as the game would freeze in the loading screen.

I needed to delete the cloud saves, which fixed the issue.

 

Replayability:

Just like before, this game has various skills to chose from and a lot of other decisions to be made. Good vs. Bad and all the different builds you can try. I think this game has quite some replay-value.

thumb_upPros
addOnline experience was fun at times.
addAlbion is more transformed compared to the other games and is now united as a kindgdom, and the character is royalty.
addSome characters are cool.
addSome funny moments.
addCharacter speaks this time.
addSome points of the story provided horror elements particularly in the plot twist halfway through, one of the few games that made me feel scared.
addSome visuals were cool like when you see your character leveling up.
addThe hero never gets knocked off their feet by anything, it was annoying that everything knocked my Fable 2 hero off theirs.
thumb_downCons
removeUses pretty much the same exact formula as Fable II's gameplay, and some flaws are more significant.
removePacing of the story was not well executed.
removeIt was hard to relate to some characters.
removeMorality system was a bit easier to navigate, but it was hard to feel the weight of choices you make.
removeNo new spells or abilities, some spells are reduced to potions.
removeSome achievements require online co-op.
removeHarder to level up with the story, and could only max out attributes in the end if you had the XP.
removeThe morality system itself does not unlock any rewards like the other two games.
removeBuilding relationships with NPCs is harder.
removeStory had potential if implemented in other ways.
removeStory did not have emotional weight..
removeOnce you get to weight of the world, get millions of money.
removeGood Hero looks ugly.
removeVoice acting of the hero, particularly if you pick the girl, is kind of corny.
removeSometimes the online experience got annoying. If you allowed anyone to join, sometimes you get someone that just kills all the NPCs in the area. I also had some that was being pushy about playing with me more.
removeYou were always forced to do side quests.
removeNo evil horns. Just dark eyes if evil.
removeYour hero is pretty much the last of his/her kind.
removeThe Sanctuary and Road to Rule

On its own, it is a great game. A lot of things could have been done better. It can still be worth long plays if you are willing to grind with other players online.

Absolutely loved this game! I played it fully a couple of times on my 360 and then replayed it on my Xbox X. I loved the story.

FABLE 3 8+

GRAFICA:8+

SONORO:7/8

GIOCABILTA':8 1/2

LONGEVITA':7/8

TRAMA:8/9

EMOZIONE8/9

Fable 3 stupisce nella sua semplicità ma profondità:la trama è giustamente"favolosa" e un bel cast di personaggi e una bella varietà di paesaggi fanno perdonare la sua brevità.

+Bellissima storia

+Varietà di paesaggi

+Personaggi amici molto divertenti

-Trama corta

-Personaggio non troppo carismatico e non molto personalizzabile

-Mappa approssimativa

Ich weiß, unüblich. Aber ich mochte Fable 3 wirklich sehr gerne. Die Story, das Ende und die Konsequenzen sind spürbar und beeinflussen das Gameplay. Die Lebenssimulations-Elemente sind auf dem ersten Blick reduziert worden, im Detail wurden aber nur gewisse Anzeigen vom Spieler versteckt. Hier haben die Entwickler wieder das "Es gibt keine Menüs, der Spieler soll nicht aus dem Spiel herausgerissen werden"-Ideal aufleben lassen.
