Fable 3

Plans For Fable III "Outside Experience" Not Another Pub Games
Written Thursday, February 11, 2010 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

During our earlier interview with Peter Molyneux, where the affable Lionhead overlord revealed some of Fable III's new features and changes, we also learnt that Pub Games will definitely not be coming back as a precursor for the new game.

"It destroyed the economy of the Fable universe," Molyneux declared. But that doesn't mean that Lionhead aren't concocting something else to accompany Fable III.

"We have a plan - a very cute outside Fable experience," said Molyneux.

We're not sure quite what shape this plan will take, but we're certain that it'll bear no resemblance to Fable II Pub Games.

Why do people even like the Fable games? Fable was soooo bad. Fable 2, probably just as bad. Molyneux is not some creative genius; I don't see why people act like he's the God of game development.

I liked pub games. It was fun to screw around with. Just a big gambling parlor game.

I don't mourn it not coming to F3 or anything though. Doesn't need to be revisited.

I liked pub games as a sort of mess about and the added 200G is nothing to be sniffed at - I liked the idea of being able to earn gold before the game's release and the fact that you got an achievement for using your own hero in the pub games but it's good that it's not going to be revisited. Maybe a sort of mini RPG?

Hopefully it won't tie into the achievements of the main game. That was pure bs right there.

While I think that they had the right idea with the Pub Games, I think it was poorly executed. I don't care if I got it free with the preorder, it was still a horribly done and glitched product. I feel sorry for those that actually had to pay money to get it for the achievements/items.

I am trying to have faith that they'll get everything right the third time in, keeping to under-promising but over-delivering. I still, however, have deep concerns with just how much of this game will require the kiddy gimmick known as Natal.

until videos and actualy gameplay fable can be anything right now words are hope killers. so shut up with the critics and wait like everyone else. thats all u can do. hopefully a good game. one was fun boring after a while. 2 was great fun but easily beat. 3 will be fallout with more fun. lol

Haha, grinding spinnerbox to get the roll x10 bet for 7 hours straight was pure torture.
(2nd or last achievement before 100%, so just wanted it done).

But still, I don'tlike the word, "cute", being there, haha :P

As long as its not the same ordeal we had with Fable 2 where we HAD to get Pub Games (or someone else who has) to get a item for a achievement.

As long as that doesn't happen again, i'm interested :D

I still fire up Fortune's Tower occasionally because that game was awesome (I did hate the other games that were part of Pub Games, though.) I'm curious what the outside experience will be. I can't wait for it and for Fable 3.

There were a few problems I had with Pub Games. It wasn't overall a bad game, it was just kind of repetitive. Grinding Spinnerbox for a x10 while on the phone seemed kind of dull, and I wound up doing it after I was off the phone, before I went to bed, when I was supposed to be in bed...then, lone behold. Achievement unlocked.

However, there was another one that bugged me. It was about getting the jackpot in keystone. THAT was not fun. THAT was boring. and time consuming.

You're going to complain about Fable 2 Pub Games? Complain when you've actually gotten the 200 GS like I did, and didn't give up on it 10 minutes in.

and at #5. Really?

You didn't get one achievement for Fable 2. Not one. You haven't played Pub Games even, so therefore, you do not have the right or reason to talk about the quality of a game if you have not even played it or obtained a single achievement.

Was I the biggest fan of this game? No.
Do I play this game on a regular basis? No.

But at least I gave it my all, gave it a chance, got the 200. And I also got the 1250 in Fable 2 as well.

So, learn to experience a game before you criticize it. It makes the internet look a lot smarter.

I don't give a shit about an 'economy' in the game if the game itself is arse

played both fable 1, fable 1 lost chapters, and fable 2, and can say that pub games was at times highlights of fable 2 (ingame pubs),

I like rpgs, but fable doesnt cut it compared to mass effect, or kotor, oblivion or fallout

maybe i just like biowares and bethesda's styles more, idk

fable seems for kiddy even with the dark humor and content,

I enjoy them both but did not like the collecting emotes and such in fable 2.

i honestly believe fable 2 was a waste of time, no difficulty and spent more time earning money and dancing then i did destroying enemies. i think they have a good idea, decision impact and all, but it needs to grow up a tad for me to want to play again. not hating, just hoping for a more grown up feel to the game

Perfect Fable? Retain the humour of the series, incorporate the RPG elements of Oblivion with the dialogue and character depth of ME2. Simple, really!

Now where's my fee...?

On topic: I preferred the mini-games from Fable I to those from Pub Games, Im hopeful for something fun for number 3.

I never played the original Fable but, Fable II was enough to put me off the series. It was shallow on gameplay and high on gimmicks, gameplay > gimmicks! I'll be renting it.

@5. Why do you have to be 'that guy'. No-one likes 'that guy'.

Anyway, he should probably do something about the insanely limited character customisation - also, I don't wanna be "generic henchman 1" when I play co-op..I want to be MY character....ahk, who am I kidding, i'll get fable 3 regardless.

As long as this 'cute' thing being referred to doesn't tie into achievements, i'm okay with that. The pub games was done badly and was total bs. It could have been done alot better.

I did not pre-order Fable II and therefore did not get the pub games DLC but I think it will be interesting to see what they do with this second go. If it costs I probably won't see myself getting it, unless it gets great ratings or something, and for those that say Fable II sucks I definitely think it's a fun play through yes extra short but I saw it at Target new for like $7.99 can't really beat that.

those of you bitching about the pub games cause of an item for an achievement are weak, cheap and you need a new hobbie. gaming isn't cheap. i think it was a great way to get fable2 players (who didnt buy new) to purchase it. or if they refused to purchase, it could be a great way to make new friends by turning the orbs on and trading items with other players online. i know some of you are scared of online interaction, but just try it. you would have be trading dolls with many other players aswell for another achievement anyways. and to those who arn't online, boo hoo. you are reading this on the internet. make the connection. online achievements extened a game. they give you a reason to keep playing the game once you've beat it. and finaly to those looking for an easy 1000gs, look else wh
