    Will Molyneux take the criticism the last 2 games received and make something new and fresh, with a bit of the old? (the way a sequel is supposed to be)

    Or stay inside his bubble and make another Fable 3 with minor alterations?

    Also, what would you like to see changed or improved upon?

    I would like to see them turned into some form of RPG again. They more or less stripped away every RPG element from the last game and it was the biggest reason I didn't like it. I have a hunch he won't go back to the series roots though.

    Going further into the future just ruins things even more for me. Fable is about swords and magic, not guns.


    They need to bring it back to the beginning and make a prequel.

    Give me a prequel from before all this bullshit industrial stuff happened. Preferably from that age of archons and stuff.

    I don't hate Fable but I've never found that any of them really delivered in the way I hoped they would.

    I kinda feel like maybe it's time for Molyneux and company to move on to something else.

    I would be happy with roughly the same gameplay from Fable 3, except without the latter half of the game devolving into disappointing sacrifice/frugal choices and poor quests.

    Before I went across the ocean, I thought 3 was the best Fable.

    I'd like more meat to the game, for one. I was done with Fable 3 in about 18 hours, the first time around. Second playthrough (the longest for me, usually, since I go around doing everything I missed) took about 22 hours. That's just... no good for an RPG of any caliber.


    Overall I liked how they gave you characters to interact with, and I liked your Hero having a voice, but I was disappointed with how railroaded I felt in the main quest. I felt like I was being pushed to Aurora too soon, and I had to fight the game to get to side stuff and enjoy the amazing quests (such as the D&D game). 

    The combat is fine. I'd say it's probably some of my favourite combat in all the video games I've played. I also like the whimsical nature of the world, but I also feel like the world is slowly being depleted of that whimsy and charm thanks to the encroaching industrial revolution. Fable 2 felt more like a raunchy Charles Dickens novel, and that was fine. Fable 3's world feels far too advanced for the actual time period they inhabit.

    Aside from those big sticking points...

    It should obviously be a cart-racer.

    If  Molyneux continues his evolution as a designer (or whatever he is called) I guess he will be moving to something more casual and mainstream, doing something great with kinect (as great as kinect can be, which is not much IMHO, but will probably be quite huge money wise).

    I think Molyneux needs to stop making Fable games.  Go back and make another Black and White, something that works with Kinect.

    I want a game were you play as Peter Molyneux, and your decisions shape the world around you. I think the title Fable is appropriate for this game.

    The next fable game will likely be a bunch of colorful blobs with british accents.

    I'd rather have a new black and white than Fable. But if there is another Fable game I'd like much better looking characters and NPC's, the environments are fine the people are kinda shitty. Also, the ability just to talk without any farting or dancing bullshit.

    He's such a clever guy, that I can't believe he isn't dying to work on a new IP.  I haven't played Fable III yet, so I can't judge (it's sitting on top of my gaming rack waiting to be played), but based on what I've read it seems like it's time to throw in the towel on Fable and just try  something new.  He's not a man who lacks ideas, he just needs to try to implement his ideas, whatever they are, a bit better in his next game.

    The RPG elements were sort of there. They were just presented in a completely unusable interface.
