Baking pies is the same mechanic as forging iron, a nobleman is just as uninteresting in appearance and speech as a peasant, and a magic gun kills foes as easily as a regular one. Not bothering to make any of the jobs different from each other, any of the people different from each other, or any of the weapons different from each other. There are virtually no differences in gameplay or features from the last game, the designers not bothering to add new weapon types or spells. Yes, it still had some issues to be resolved, but surely those would at least improve somewhat in the third chapter, right?įable 3 might be one of the laziest games I’ve ever played. It expanded customization, skills, the plot, everything was deeper, richer and had more thought put into it.
I liked Fable 2 because it improved over its predecessor. So why then, do I hate, hate, hate this one so much? It’s strange, because in many ways it’s exactly like Fable 2, which I actually chose as my game of the year when it was released.
I just beat Fable 3, one of my most anticipated games of the year, and much to my surprise, I absolutely loathed it.
