In other related news, it was recently stated in a translated article by PCGames.de, that Fable 3 will offer around 15 hours of gameplay (for the main story). The PC version of Fable 3 will release sometime after the Xbox 360 version, however PC users may be gifted with free DLC after it’s release.

“In the segment I had the opportunity to play, I was an evil aligned female, guiding an older gentleman through a cave, where enemies appear, as you have to save the cowardly companion from them. The face buttons correspond with melee attacks (X), ranged attacks (Y), magic attacks (B) as well as evasion (A). While the hack and slash nature seemed stilted in the demo, only allowing one melee attack without a commencement of more melee blows, going from melee to ranged to magic provides a powerful combination is its own right. Holding the left trigger down will let you aim your ranged attacks at whatever enemy is in front of you. Holding down any of the offensive buttons will enable you to land a significantly more powerful blow, one that either straight up attacks (melee), provide an AE affect around you that wipes out the opposition (magic) or aimed towards adversaries ahead of you (ranged). Jon Eckersley, senior artist to Fable III, mentioned that magic in the final build will now be based off bracelets to help simplify things eve more, while also being able to combine various magics together.”

You will play as one of two children. One who has gone on to rule Albion with evil deeds in mind, and the other whose goal is to claim the throne. Set around 50 years after Fable 2, you will be able to import your saved games, but the data will be limited to your character’s gender and decisions made in the second game. Selection lists have been done away with for a 3D hub, where you will now be able to walk into a dressing room to change your apparel by slipping it on rather than selecting it from a list, same for equipping magic and weaponry. This also goes beyond inventory management where you will now be able to walk into stores and instead of purchasing items from a list, you can walk into the shop where all the goods will be on display in shelves and you can select them there.

For the first time ever in a Fable game, your character will now have a voice as opposed to being an adventurous mute like in the previous two titles. Lionhead’s decision for this was to add more weight and dignity to the story that they felt was missing from the previous entries.The combat is more of the same from Fable 2, but more fluid. “Flourishes are unleashed by simply holding down the attack button, and the action is often underlined with cinematic swings and zooms of the camera,” says IGN.
