Fable III: Join the Revolution (in farting)
 

No thread on this amazing game pretty much means GFF is over. I'm gonna go ahead and update this shortly with all of the amazing shit you can do in this GOTY contender. If I say it's good, it is, so I highly recommend going out and grabbing a copy right now.

Currently 4 hours in and it's already blown away. More to come.

PS- You get money for selling black people as slaves.

Last post was October 24th. You know why? This game is a fucking awful, buggy mess.

And I am saying that as someone who loved Fable 2. This one is garbage. Don't buy it.

I keep hearing about these bugs, but the only one I've actually run into is the Jasper don't talk no mo bug. Which is getting fixed in the update on friday. Mostly the only issue with it I've seen is that it is a thoroughly middling game.

Having to hear John Cleese try and shill dye packs and shitty armor every time I try to look at something is enough to make me not like Fable 3, but having two game-breaking bugs happen to me in short succession made me hate it.

My Jasper hasn't talked since I gained access to Mourningwood. Which isn't so bad since I haven't needed him to give any important quest commentary to me. But what is really irritating for me is that I no longer receive random items from dive spots, chests, and dig spots. If it's quest related or holds a legendary weapon, it seems to be ok. But other than that, not getting any items at all. Even if I do co-op in my world, the person with me receives the item rather than myself.

Oh yeah and other than that all my kids are unhappy and never rise above "fine" no matter how many gifts I give them. Playing as a extreme pure/good character, upkeep @ 1000 for all, luxury furniture, frequent visits...nothing.

It's a neat game and I like my Hero, but for me, just doesn't beat II at all. Interaction is a pain, playing landlord is a pain, I hate relationship quests. Combat seems like it flows less/is less effective. Multiplayer works far better but I find myself barely using it unlike II. I used to sit in the town square and just shout out deals/trades to people.

Apart from multiplayer the main things I actually like are the fact that the characters don't get retardedly ugly just by leveling up. My hero in II was one-star strength through the whole game yet somehow still feels stronger than my hero in III. I also like The Sanctuary because I don't need to navigate menus that lag everytime I choose ANYTHING.

I've been disappointed with it so far. Some of the design choices are just awful--whose idea was it to have no visible health bar? Being able to do only one randomly selected action at a time is terrible too--maybe I *don't* want to do the Dirty Dancing finishing move with the old man blacksmith just to get a discount!

Plus, the lack of a childhood chapter really cuts out the only character development the Fable games have ever had--in Fable II, I cared a lot more about Rose and Barnum after seeing them in the prologue.

As for bugs, my glowy trail never seems to work right--sometimes it doesn't appear at all, sometimes it abruptly changes its mind and makes me retrace my steps. I remember a little glowy line lag in Fable II but nothing like that. Plus people you're leading around by the nose can get hung up on the least little thing; I've had to restore twice because a quest-necessary NPC got themselves caught on a rock.

The game definitely needed more than 2 years' development time (hell, Fable II took 4!). And yet I'm still doggedly playing it.

Sure did. And now that it is updated, Jasper is saying allllllll the things he was supposed to say to me since Mourningwood and then some. Ha.

But my items are still glitched, and now some of my kids are missing and the houses that were vacant for quest related reasons (that I bought) are glitched. Can't interact with them anymore, sigh.

Eh, in any case, forgot to say, if anyone cared enough and needed new weapons for the achievement...feel free to message me and raid my shops.
