O final político é bem merdinha
Injustamente apaleado y denostado durante años. No sería el mejor de la saga pero tenía ideas que eran puro oro y además, el carisma de Lionhead haciendo juegos era impagable.
peak childhood gaming…..
I liked this game - thought it was worse than Fable 2 but not some atrocity. I did find it funny that there was no narrative weight to the moral choices at the end of the game because I was a scummy landlord and had enough money to make the good guy choice every time sans consequences.
What a load of crap :D I can't remember exactly what bothered me because it was just so much, but this thing was an absolute disaster^^
A step in the right direction
The only Fable I've ever played and I was a child, but even then I could tell it was mid
Lo mejor del juego son los chumbos, el setting post revolucion industrial y el final en el desierto. Tiene una mision en la que tenes que jugar como un personaje de dnd para 4 magos insufribles, totalmente fiel a la experiencia de dnd.
This game kinda sucked, especially following up Fable 2, but I had fun with it.
i bet im worth so much money in this game now.
Quite a few very interesting ideas, and i'd be lying if i said i didn't enjoy it... but man, TLC is better.
I gotta praise the music and art direction though, and how it's not that common to see games set in this time period.

Faire des gosses, les abandonner et laisser leur mères s’en occuper. Pendant que je kidnappe des gens pour les sacrifier à une secte ( je suis trop con c’est dans le 2 ça)
Iliked it
Tomara que mandem mais arabes pra lá
Better coop system than its predecessor, but somewhat worse gameplay. Ruling your own country somehow was quite fitting for the Fable franchise (making your moral choices have more impact), but the evil choices felt even less rewarding.
dont remember in detail of course but definitely liked it enough, but thought it was overhyped based off how it was discussed back then
Just release a new fable PLEASE!!!!
Too simple in gameplay, but with fun characters and scripts.

I like their idea. You have to act like a hero of revolution and promise people good changes after you sit on the throne. But when you win, you realize that your kingdom is in great danger. Your army needs a ton of money, and you have to raise taxes to infinity, break all promises, or let all people suffer or die. Fortunately, I have broken the system! While playing, I bought all the real estate on the map. I was the richest person in that world. So I have bought it all by myself! And won as a hero!
Amo e odeio na mesma intensidade
multiplayer good. game bad
This was my first Fable game when I was a kid. I had mastered and replayed over the years. While I it has many unforgettable characters (WALTER AND REAVER I LOVE YOU) and it's style and humor, it did feel lack luster (especially on choices, marriage and environments) and very buggy. Overtime, I did grew a strong hatred towards it, but it didn't stop me from replaying it again lol.
It's not as fun as Fable II, but is a good game even so.
yeah its the worst of the fable games but like...its still alot of fun lol
The game's not great. It continued the trend of making everything in gameplay more shallow. Its full of "moral dilemmas" That are super easy to just circumvent, with the exception of the beginning of the game. Easily the worst in the trilogy. But at least John Cleese was there.
Il y en a qui l'ont pas aimé et je m'en branle j'ai passé un agréable moment dessus
Moins bien que Fable 2 mais quand même
A step down from Fable II for sure but this one had John Cleese in it so, swings and roundabouts.
I know this one is more divisive (perhaps even mostly disliked?) among fans, but this is another case of biased childhood nostalgia, so apologies in advance.
Fable II remains my favourite video game of all time, and I certainly prefer it to III, but Fable III is the one most of my friends got into. I remember having my best friend come home with me after school every day to sit in front of my Xbox and play Fable III with a bowl of Doritos in front of us for hours, and after that we talked it up so much that more of our friend group bought it and played it with me over online multiplayer. We were all around 13-15 then, so maybe we were just easily pleased, but we all enjoyed it - I have a lot of fond memories of running through the quests with them, watching one of them complete the campaign in only a chicken head and boxer shorts, and sleeping with every friend I had so that my character ended up with, like, 40 STDs and everyone proceeding to call me out for it every time that ended up on someone else's 'friend stat comparisons' loading screens.
I must have completed this 20-something times in my lifetime, but I hadn't touched it since I was a teenager, so it was a really sentimental experience to go back to it recently with my fiancee and play it with her after we completed Fable 2. I could still remember so many of the secrets and hidden routes, even if I couldn't remember why - I'd often find myself pausing as we passed an area because I just knew there had been something there and hunting around until I found the inevitable chest or key my subconscious had remembered.
Fable in general has so much heart, and III is no exception. The humour, the characters, the setting, the creatures - it's all genuinely special, both in general and to me.
I can understand some of the criticisms, but I just... don't feel them.
The Sanctuary is totally unnecessary, sure, and a pause menu would've been so much more convenient - but I didn't really care about convenient, I cared about Cool Stuff, and that was The Sanctuary to me. I loved how it was woven into the story, I loved being able to see all my items on little cushions on pedestals, I loved being able to see my bigass pile of gold grow bigger and bigger the more I played, I loved my wall of trophies and my mannequins where I could see all of my outfits and how they'd look before I put them on.
The morality choices were black-and-white? Absolutely, but it was 2010, and I loved how those choices were weighed down with their own consequences. It's not like it was "do this good thing or do this bad thing" and nothing else - it was "you can uphold your promise to do this good thing and it will help your citizens in the short run, but it will cost the kingdom hundreds of thousands of gold and it is increasingly likely you will not have the resources and funds to protect them when the Big Bad comes to invade", versus "you can break your promise and do this bad thing and be seen as a tyrant in the short-term, but the money you get from it could be funnelled directly into protecting your people and keeping them alive". Yeah, with enough effort and time you can get around it by grinding money through endless minigames or meta-ing your way through the real estate system, but most people aren't going to do that - and the harsh reality of having to choose between protecting your people and making them happy was a really cool idea. There's nothing more brutal than going through your entire game doing good things, everyone loving you, being heralded as a great and kind ruler, getting through the final battle... and then running around the post-game to find your kingdom littered with corpses and empty, broken shops, because everyone was killed thanks to your lack of defenses.
I loved the fact that weapons' appearance changed as you levelled them up and grew your character - e.g. a sword growing longer or developing serrated edges, a hammer glowing with runes, a pistol's design increasingly patterned and fancy-looking as it became more powerful.
As in the prequel, I loved that your morality and your purity/corruption stats affected your character's appearance - a good and pure character having soft features and light, magical swirls sweeping across their skin, while an evil and corrupt character has sunken eyes, dark veins, and a harsher expression. I love that you can mix and match - have a good and corrupt character, or an evil character with full purity - as well as how other things can interact with those appearance changes, such as a good/pure Will-focused characters' magic lighting up their skin tattoos when they're casting. I even loved the angel/demon wing motifs depending on your goodness vs. evil in the latter half of the game, and the fact that they appear when you're charging more powerful attacks.
Golden breadcrumb trail is appreciated as always - I'm guessing a lot of players probably don't like that (I don't recall if you can turn it off, you probably can), but I'm someone who likes knowing exactly where I have to go for the plot, not least because that means I can exhaust every other route and area before going to The Plot-Important One to ensure I'm not missing any items or chests without having to worry about advancing the story or walking into a cutscene when I didn't mean to.
Shops were great, and I loved being able to browse the physical items rather than them just being words/images on a list, though I wish they sold more than a few items at a time and that there was more variety in what a shop could sell (not in the sense that a weapons shop should sell more than weapons, but that I'd like the weapons shop to sell a wider variety of them through the game rather than pretty much always selling the same swords, the same guns, etc).
The 0.5 off is mostly a catch-all for the petty little complaints I have, the most significant of which is the fact that for some reason this game, in a series known for being progressive and LGBT-friendly, forces a romantic interest on you at the beginning of the game/during the prologue depending on which protagonist gender you chose - a Prince will get Elise, and a Princess will get Elliot. To be fair, you can dodge the romantic overtones by choosing to hug them rather than kiss them, but it's very clear it's supposed to be romantic, especially with the content of the quest that can involve them later on in the game, so I wish they'd just let you select which you wanted. It's not as bad as it could have been because they're really only around for the prologue and only reappear (now involved with someone else) under a specific condition, and it's 2010, so whatever.
Loved the steampunk/industrial vibes, too. I'm a sucker for that, especially with magic woven into it.
Fable II and Sparrow still clear, but this one's still close to my heart. Also, I had a childhood crush on Ben Finn and Reaver, so there's that.
Favourite Male Character: Reaver or Ben
Favourite Female Character: Kalin
First Character I Liked: Reaver

Favourite OST: Music Box, Kalin, Desert
Favourite Moment: The coronation is a pretty obvious big one, but I'll go with waking up in Aurora and exploring it for the first time
Least Favourite Character: The Crawler scared the shit out of me as a kid. Used to have to play through that sequence with the Darkness and Walter in the caves with all of my lights on.
