man, what a mess. this game has been drained of any fairy tale atmosphere in favor of being a fantasy novel about kings and politics, but not one that is good, and one that seems to have many scenes missing.
the world is less colorful, and there are far fewer interesting sightlines. the zones have gotten a little too big, to the point that it's a pain to walk across them, so you relate to much of the game through the map, devaluing the spaces further.
every weapon being unique is cool at first until you realize that they all have boring augments and augment objectives. it ends up ultimately feeling like less weapon variety than previous games, especially since they all handle the same.
every combat encounter is just an enormous swarm of guys that you spend forever cutting through. there's not even a little pressure to any of the choices because you are drowning in real estate money. they really wanted to make "ben finn" happen but he's just an annoying guy.
occasionally that fable charm still shines through. fashion is fun. there are some really creative quests. good demon door zones. the aurora section really works. i remember liking this a lot more in 2010, but now i very much understand why this is the worst fable

I dearly love this game. It offers a very diverse story with tons of different environments and actions to perform, and it is set in a very vibrant world that feels a joy to travel through. It may not have so much player freedom as the original games, but it is a lot more accessible than them. Feels like watching a great, fun movie.
Okay never mind I take back what I said. Bri'ish people can write a good story. Fable 3 might miss the mark in how mechanically inventive and special 2 was with its freedom of building your hero/villain, but it makes up for it with a compelling narrative, core characters that you actually care about, and interesting moral choices that really make you feel like a king. The best of the trilogy.

Quando zerei esse jogo a primeira vez, eu era pequeno, devia ter uns 10 ou 12 anos, e também joguei com meu irmão, que também afeta a experiência, e eu não achava ruim como diziam, agora mais de 7 anos depois, começo a entender, em comparação com os 2 primeiros jogos, o especial o 2 que é muito mais parecido pra comparar, ele perde muita coisa, sistema de interação, emotes, não existe metamorfose da alinhamento do karma (bom ou mal), além de várias coisas adicionadas no jogo com boas ideias, mas sua grande maioria mal executada, se você for fã de fable assim como eu ou tem debito com a franquia porque jogou na infância e nunca terminou, provável que você consiga jogar esse jogo tranquilamente, mas se for alguem novo começando na trilogia provavelmente irá dropar o jogo, agora vou tentar falar os pontos positivos do jogo, muito dele é relacionado a historia e seus personagens, muitos são carismaticos, nem o vilão final nem o antagonista do inicio (seu irmão) são tão legais, sempre fica aquela comparação com Jack, mas a razão do logan é legal, gosto do sistema de relacionamento de familia desse jogo, pegar a mão de sua esposa, amiga ou paquera, levar pra onde quiser, poder ter maior interação com eles, tocar, e com seu filho, isso é legal, gosto do sistema de metamorfose das armas quando upa elas, mas acho que meus elogios acabam por ai, ele é fable II com mais boas ideias, mas tudo nele é igual ou pior, o jogo tem 4 trabalhos a menos, menos variedades em outras coisas, até se analisar bem a historia ele se apoia muito no segundo jogo, e no nosso antigo héroi, sparrow héroi de bower lake, na duvida jogo ele depois do lost chapters/1 aniversario e dps que terminar o 3 jogue o 2, não tem muito spoiler do passado além de que sparrow vira rei e vive no castelo de bowerstone (o antigo castelo de fairfax), toda a atmosfera de fable se perdeu aqui.
Talk about a game I was so excited for back in the day, to the point I was in denial about all the GLARING issues this game has, but no more.
The moral dilemmas are the most cartoonishly black and white in the series, there's no effort to tie the new characters to your actions in Fable 2, and combat is extremely simple with little to no nuance or variety.

Off the success of Fable 2, I think myself and a lot of others had higher hopes for 3, but were a bit let down by the end product. I think the game has some fantastic ideas and it tries to make good on all of them, but ends up falling short in a few areas. The third act of the game being the weakest, once you become the ruling Monarch, again the ideas are there but the choices you have to make end up feeling a little hollow in some instances, and unfair in others. Not every scenario should be black and white, and to have your early triumphs be boiled down to a 50/50 choice falls a bit flat in the late game. Nonetheless, still an enjoyable fable experience and without the heights of 2 as its predecessor, I think this one could have stood a little taller.
