The Weight of the World Days. Fable 3 Wiki Guide. Last Edited: 2 Aug pm. Was this guide helpful? YES NO. In This Wiki Guide. User Info: JerisGS. So yes its been out enough to have hours. Although hours is 5. At 12 hours per day however, thats more days than its been out. Seems very unlikely. I have a felling that fable 3 was meant to be played slowly. Given Peters interviews and his shock about people not using all the fable 2 features, I feel as though he thinks everyone plays like one quest per day and spends the rest of their time repairing buildings and starting families.
I honestly think he thought people would just wander around a town for hours or roam the map for weeks before attempting main quests. I mean the game was really short when compared to modern games and there was less to do than in fable 1 and 2.
Does anyone even bother to redecorate homes? I know I don't, but I bet peter thinks we all do huge reno projects. He probably thought it would take us weeks to beat the game and start complaining, turns out most of us beat it on day one. I can't see why else he would make us mass such a huge amount of money over such a short period of game time. I can only hope DLC adds some much needed content.
More topics from this board I hate that expressions only affect one person at a time! I hate that the minor boss characters are completely unaffected by damage until the killing blow. I hate that I can no longer do head shots. I hate that instead of expanding on all the things I loved about this game have been down-sized, I. E: less clothes, less expressions. I have just started being evil with my good character because I hate this game so much. What a waste of money and anticipation.
Shame on you and your phoned in game, Lionhead! I agree with the comments that this guy has made but you forgetting the changes and thing they have improved for example the weapons evolve with you and i have 3 characters and ever weapon is different, your right the main storyline is short but to enjoy the game you need to play it slowly otherwise you do just get through the storyline within days this game needs to be carefully planned and enjoyed.
Wow, excellent rant. I loved it. You did totally nail every problem with Fable I have a black daughter, WITH elise, i got screwed by the day jump to 0, and im tired of the whole Fable interaction. Honestly, this game was a let down to me.
It was like they made several steps forward which i liked, the sanctuary, where you could IDEALY physicially view your posessions achievements etc. The cool finishing moves, though they cut many weapon types and the ranged slow-mo kills are annoying.. Sadly they failed on this too.
Fable 2 seemed like more of an improvement than Fable 1, despite the multiplayer additions that fell flat on their face. The game is buggy to a point where i simply lose the patience to play, and shut it off. When i discovered i had a black daughter, she was standing in a crowd of other children, and after i waded through and uncovered which was mine, i remember the hysterical laughter that echoed my room and was apparently mine, lol.
Basically, i think im done with Peter and his uninterested take on the Fable games. If they were picked up by a new developer and redone, i would gladly forgive them.
For one, the spellweaving is an entirely new concept to Fable. Also, they took the vast amount of weapons down to 2 different types of melee weapons which I hated but achievement-based upgrades to weapons is an idea I have yet to see. I was furious, because I knew that the only thing it could mean was vastly shortened gameplay… but waht did I do?
I racked up a metric assload of gold and finished all my sidequests before progressing in the game. I was saying that there is no point in using that style, when the others are right there and are far more effective against enemies. Why fight a pile of Hollow Men one by one with a sword when i can make them all explode with one button press? I could play through Halo Reach using only my pistol, which would make it harder and force me to strategize more, but why would I do that when there are more effective weapons available?
Combining the spells is visually interesting, but it only serves to make magic more powerful than it was already. Instead of merely shocking opponents to death, I can now shock and burn, freeze or stab them at the same time.
On day , I made the conscious decision that after this day was over that day has no quests on the docket, by the way, only court appointments , that on day 50 or whatever, I would going to wander around and mass up cash and do shitty sidequests. Clearly from the comments, it took many off guard, and was one of the worst aspects of the plot. Fable 3 is really not meant to be rushed though. I did so knowingly to get a feel for the game, since I do not use game guides or cheats. However now when I take my time playing I will know what to expect out of the main game and saving money is easy enough if you not rushing though the first part of the game.
I agree the fighting is a little too easy and can remember the old days where it could take days for me just to clear a boss lvl. It may have been helpful if the game offer setting for easy medium and hard play like some games do.
Though you do have some valid points about the game, I do not think that Fable 3 was a complete let down that you are making it out to be. That said I have never met a true gamer that did not find faults about ever single game they played even for the ones they say they like.
Since gaming comes easy for them it hard to impress. Ok first of all I have to agree that Fable 3 was a huge mistake…. I do disagree with all the negatives about fallout 3. If any of you actually played the game you would see that it involves the player way more by creating weapons, ammo, and food. If you play hardcore the game is deffinately a challenge. Now it is glitchy as hell and the loading screens take years, and sometimes your partners just disapear or stop following you all together, but its a great game.
No darkened skin, no horns, no scars, no ripped clothing, no horns, no flames protruding from the body, no demon wings, oh, and no fucking horns. When you actually come to the point where it shows you as a demon or angel-like creature, i thought, oh finally.. I would have written a review exactly the same!
I waited so long for this game and went to Meijer on Monday night at midnight to get it. I am beyond disappointed. You nailed it. Thank-you, I laughed all the way through your article, helps take the pain out of the fact that I bought the collectors edition.
Is there a menu for your potions? I would like to see how many potions of health, etc I have and to to be able to set them where I want, and use them when I want, not when the game decides I need them.
The graphics in this game are stunning tho. I am having a lot of issues with Fable III as well. Same goes for the map table. Hence, I become stuck and have to re-load. I know there is supposed to be a back button because my friend played his save and it was there plain as day.
Also, I had to install the game to my hard drive to reduce the random lag I was getting. Now all exp goes into the same pot. Also the chest and dig spots were almost the samething every time.
I figured I would be able to play the game how I wanted to which is the whole point of a good RPG and a big selling point of fable. So, as the paying customer I decided to make good decisions as king while spending the time earning the extra cash to save the citizens. So I just thought, fine fuck it I might as well finish it now. It took all of about 5 minutes to plough through all of the enemies and crush the end boss. Everyone in albion died, I missed out on the achievement for saving everyone and im pretty pissed about it.
This seems to be the trend of the fall releases so far. Sub par game, with bugs and glitches up the waazoo. This was my first Fable experience, and unfortunately it will be my last.
I had not played the others, but for some reason this one really sparked a lot of interest in me. So I picked it up and gave it a go. Much like a lot of fellow readers… to put it bluntly… I was completely pissed when the end of the game just kind of fell on my lap without warning.
Want to walk through the game easily? Maybe Fable 3 is a learning lesson about life. Think about it we do not always get the chance to do things necessary unless we plan ahead. If I recall in the past Fables you always had ways of earning tons of money but no real reason to do so. Maybe they are trying to get people to slow down when playing the game. So when they said the ending is a surprise….
Well it is when you really think about it. Sure it may pissed you off and like many other people I to ran though the game thinking had had plenty of time to make up the money. Take it from someone in person debt you hardly ever have the time to make money back up once you are in the hole. There is also a good premise to this story. Which is sometimes the moral decisions we need to make are not always clear and can seem evil even though in the long run it is to save the many and not the few.
Then you have the STD issues. It seems as if you can get STD from anyone even your spouse. So maybe they are really trying to get the word out about safe sex to the younger people playing the game….
This is not the best game in the world but really not as bad as many here will make you think. See beyond the box of just playing the game and experience the world in which it is in.
Just another point of view. Funny, of course this will happen. Complete with a histrionic title and a personal laundry list. The writing, combat and interactions have most of the same quirks and faults as they always have. You completely rushed through the game which is why you lost most of your citizens! Fable two was total crap! I cant believe you named it game of the year??? It was over before it even begun!
Fable 1 was a much better game then both Fable 2 and Fable 3 until you take the thrown where the game takes a completely new change which is a refreshing change! And of course magic is more powerful then swords or guns!
You cant figure out the navigation and because of that your giving lionhead the blame? There is so much thats new and different about fable 3 i cant believe you say its just fable 2 with mistakes!
The road to rule thing is Totally unlike anything seen before! No health bar is very different! The multiplayer on fable 3 is totally different where you need to trade or play online just to get all the weapons or even to make business partnerships!
I could go on for ages!! It seems that you have not explored this game enough to be making such a harsh criticism!
You do know that two white people can have a black child right? Statistically speaking only one of them needs to come from a black background.
And that snowey place with the abbey is also gone another island btw never mind the northern wastes!! I have to say that this article encumpasses nearly everything I found disappointing with fable three.
For instance, I got a key from a character in Aurora, after the final battle, as part of a new quest. But stupid me I raced through the dialogue so quickly as most gamers do , that I missed the part about what to DO with the bleeding key. A waste of Goddamn time. OMG…I nearly forgot the worst thing so I will now bug everyone with my double post…sorry. Was that omission supposed to add innovation and depth to my Fable 3 experience? And if so, then pray tell how, exactly? I mean, WTF, guys?!
I often found myself using several health potions during battle, never really knowing if I was wasting them, or even using them at all I used magic, primarily, so all the glowing and glittering on-screen eventually became completely indiscernible.
Absolutely hated this game. I waited a long ass time for this game and this is what Lionhead came out with? Shitty shitty shitty, The First Fable was amazing but thats it. I didnt even finish Fable 3, and i dont intend on finishing it, im taking it back to gamestop and trading it in……. Not by the game really though just a bit but by the ones who were so quick to judge and throw shit on the game.
Did you guys actually take the time to play? I mean, really play? Guess not cause it seems to me you guys missed a lot of things in the game. Like who said theie was no weapons to buy? There are like two or three weapons shops in the game with interesting augments if you complet the objectives like earning guild seals faster in combat or having extra damage done most being more powerful than you hero weapons. Sure the game is short and I was quit disapointed of the time spent as king of Albion and Aurora that was my only real disapointement, this and the fact that Theresa does nothing at all.
It can? And you et an account on Twitter? You hit the nail on the head. As a fan of Lionhead, I waited desperately for Fable 3. The original Fable is the only reason why I dust off my xbox: yes, the 10 pound, indestructible one.
You and I shared the same disappointment. I will kill all the gnomes and find every last key. Seeing characters evolve is also too fun to see. Like Reaver, starting out with nothing but bones and armour, to become a major character in the proceeding games. After having read approximately words of this mammoth rant, you had already made my night!
Thank you for the thoroughly entertaining read! I beat it in 12 hours and I was taking my time. Speaking of weapons, my weapon morphed into something giving explainations such as, its exotic due to your love of diving???
I had dove about twice in the game at that point.. That was funny to read. Btw, thank you very much. I was looking around to see how the day thing went and here it is.
So I love how I spent majority of the game being nice…and now I have to be a jerk in order to win…just wow. That might be where ur black kid comes from. After playing fable 3 the first time and being good only to get a huge fck you after I fixed everything my brother effed up it was most enjoyable to be a total a-hole to save those stupid people.
I dont know though, I feel like I just dont like the game, because of most of the reasons detailed in the original article. I think PM should be personally reimbusing everyone he screwed out of money with his lies. Expression system became uber gay. Like you said it has devolved. This entry has basically killed any chance of me ever buying this series again.
At least when other games are lazy and stupid they do things like copy paste the interiors of sidequest areas mass effect. But hey they are still good games and player friendly. It especially pisses me off how no locations on like Mistpeak are marked or anythings? I payed way too much for this. I loved the first part of the game! But what reaaaally bothered me was all the bugs. I think that I have suffered from more than 6 different major bugs.
After bug number 5, I tried to enter a new area during the quest since I couldnt fast travel during an active quest.
A message popped up saying that if I was to travel to another area, the game would revert to an earlier save point, and data would be lost. So the game reverted to an earlier save point, and I lost about 2 hrs of gameplay. But now I could not at anytime enter the sanctuary.
AND when i followed the golden trail, it led to the rebel HQ entrance. But there was noone in the HQ! I also couldnt pick up any side quest.
I cant do shit now besides from startin a new game. I just cant understand how they could have made it so that if you revert to an earlier point in the game, it is as if you have completed some of the quests or something, so that you cant do them again or something reaaaally weird like that. I mean, how could they have made it so that you could destroy your entire save by returning to an earlier point in the game!?
Speaking of firearms removing aimed shots also removed my enjoyment of using the weapon class. Why is my dog a purebred inbred moron? Treasure, Quest, or Dig? Really, where? Maybe walk around a bit to jog your ability?
Oh, I walked too far away and you forgot? I want my smart fast mutt from Fable II back please. Overpowered Spells; I found the best combo was Vortex Lightning, as not even balverines could attack you. As I owned everything I could purchase and did most of the side quests I dropped 8m gold in the treasury and called it a day.
Just wondering if anyone know what the red gate is and how you get though it?? Could not figure that one out yet. However you are not left guessing at your health. There are two ways to know you are getting low and may want to use a health potion and when you really need to use one ASAP. One assuming you have health potions they will only show up to use them during a battle when you are starting to get low on health.
Just look at your icons. Second when you are in really bad shape and need to get more health ASAP you will note that the color leave your screen and it turns gray with red around the edges. Pretty straight forward. Not having to always look for a health bar during batter should be easier for the player.
I thought I was the only one that was mad about the days left then it just ends without warning!!! You have honestly just taken the words right out of my mouth. It makes me sad because it had such great potential to be a good game, but Lionhead got lazy.
My guess it was probably filler because the original story was shorter than they thought it was going to be. At least Jack of Blades was a true villain. DLC sucked.
Weapons sucked. Clothes sucked. People sucked. Main story sucked. Pretty much this entire game sucked. All in all, Fable 3 was alright at the very best. It was just ok.
I will try my best to list the things I really enjoyed about the game and the stuff that I found annoying and uselss. The games graphics, though quite similar to fable 2, were not a disappointment. The only real fault the graphics had were the models, being that the whole of Albion comes in four or five people with different clothing, with an amazing three to four voices.
But, as a whole, the graphics were far from a negative factor. The menu I found to be quite enjoyable. I liked having my own little room with all my stuff in it. It adds more interesting atmosphere to the game.
The only issue I really had with it was the save game. The lack of a real ability to save and load in an easy to use and understand way led to a severe lack of reload. But, on the whole, I think the menu was an interesting touch, whether you liked it or not. The combat is just as Fable combat has always been, except even easier in this game.
One could argue that you could use any of the methods to kill someone, be it melee, range, or spells. However, they should be nicely balanced, and this case, they are not.
Guns go a pretty damn good amount of damage while giving you the advantage of range. Spells dominate the battlefield, period. They are the single best and most effective way of destroying enemies, including bosses.
The ability to also combine spells was a cool and interesting touch, but also left some overpowered combination. For most of the game, I used fire and vortex, fire for the damage and vortex for making everyone completely useless. The one thing I always liked about Fable was the amount of things you could do, like establish relationships, rob stores, kill citizens, whatever you wanted. But the one thing I always felt Fable lacked was quests. Sure, you get a decent amount, but most are not long at all, and not rewarding.
And, of all the fables, this game had the least amount of replay value, being that the only reason to replay was to play as a saint or a dick, depending on your choice on the first run. Finally, this brings me to the King part of the game. I feel that this is the biggest disappointment of the game by far. It was unbearably short, and had no freedom to it at all. On top of that, there is no possible way to see any count down of the year.
You are forced to make the choice on the Dweller camp right afterward, and then you have to fight to save Albion. On the whole, a lot of possibility was missed on the ruling a nation aspect, and that is a massive fault in Fable 3, as it was a big selling point. With the short length, lack of freedom, and severe gold farming, it was not at all fun.
I desperately want to see a Fable succeed where the other failed. I like the idea they have, they just cannot seem to grasp how to share it. I would give Fable 3 a 5 out of Playable, enjoyable, but annoying, painful, no re-playability, and a severe let down from what was promised. Totally agree with the review.
Anyone who defends Fable 3 never played the original. Remember the days when all you had was a crossbow, could steal anything from the store after getting the shopkeeper drunk and luring him in the alley , and you HAD to stock up on potions to survive?
Fable 2 added guns, beefed up the story line a bit. Fable 2 also cut down some of the control flexibility, e. At least it moved forward a little though. Fable 3 added — what? Nothing — it is complete crap. After the first 3 hours I could not believe how slow the story was, and how hard it was to find a fight. What the hell? How do I just shake hands again? I just quit talking to anyone after about 5 of these interactions. What a waste of my time this POS game was.
