I'm going to get one thing off the bat right now, I didn't follow this game. I should've but I didn't. I did it for one reason, so I wasn't shot down by Molyneux's lies .And All I can say is after following such a path, I'm nod disappointed by the game. Well, kind of am. But not much. 
 
Fable III as we all know throws you in the shoes of a now talking prince, one of the sons of the old Hero. Two things about this intrigue me. One, a talking Protagonist shocked me but, I like it. Gives your character some...well...character. Secondly, I wish we could of imported our old save file (which is now the trend) and they could have had the child look somewhat like our old Hero. Just a though. 
 
Combat is the same, which is a good thing, i've always love the combat system but it seems a little more fluid now. One thing I'm confused about is people were saying something about the magic all being unlocked from the beginning, what the fuck? I remember having to buy my spells one at a time, like any other Fable game. 
 
Which leads me to my next point, How awesome is dual gauntlets? It was something I wasn't expecting but an awesome thing none the less.Combining spells is a rad idea. I endorse it fully. 
 
The pause "menu". Your Sanctuary. I'll keep this short. 

• I like it.
• I love hearing John Cleese.
• It isn't a Hassle.
• It makes shit easy.
• I kind of wish I could hit "Back" for a traditional menu. I've found myself using the Xbox button to pause sometimes.
