fable 3

Anyone else got it and playing through? I just got it. Fun so far though not very far yet. I've not played fable 1 or 2 so it's all new to me. Must say after the choices of shake hands vs belch at people the first real decision (execute friend vs peasants) was kind of extreme and curious since I don't even know which was the "good" answer.

This actually is more of what I want from these games. Not rated amounts of good or bad, just consequences. Let the player decide if it was good or bad by whether they got the end result they desired.

Yes I think it's a good thing for games to have. I was just surprised by it. I'm unclear on the consequences other than the obvious unless I start a new game and try the other way and even then i think it won't show me anything different yet. I guess it makes a difference later and I'm not far yet. From what the various previews said your choices in the first half of the game affect what happens in the second half.

In the first game, I loved just switching armor and having the entire village either want to marry me or cower in fear at the sight of me.

Agreed!

What is this game about? I see it constantly advertised when I start my 360. Kind of a mesmerizing slow-mo sequence from the ?French Revolution?

I guess at the end of fable 2 you become king. You seem to have had two children. Fable 3 starts with the older brother being a tyrant king. You are either the younger sibling (prince or princess) and you are going to start a revolution to remove your brother. From what I understand the game doesn't end when you become king/queen that there is a 2nd half of the game. And this is where the promises you made to people to get them on your side come back to haunt you.

I really like the look of Fable 3 but I cannot stand 2 things about the series:
1) it seems like a self-hating fantasy game, so all the flavor text has to has a goofball tone (at least in 2, can't remember about the original)
2) all the sims-ish stuff, dancing for the villagers to make them like you etc

I like the game but I'm frustrated right now.
One of the "stars" in the game is there are a particular number of gnomes on each zone (shown on the info on the map) that you have to kill.
They don't appear until you do a particular quest.
It seems that quest can disappear and become impossible to do if you progress the main line too quickly.
