Windows (PC) Speculations

I've read the sources of whoever said Fable III is coming to PC, let me quote what the article said: "Molyneux declined to close off hopes of Fable III coming to PC". He nor Microsoft confirmed that this game will be coming to PC, he merely did not cross out the idea like he always does. What he says also doesn't really matter, if it were up to him it would be on PC a long time ago, its the execs of the gaming division that makes the decisions. With that said, he did not say that it will be coming to PC, so this is mere speculation.

Stop adding the confirmed PC status to the Wiki entry, there is no credible source or confirmation of such information, please read your "sources" carefully. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.206.151.130 (talk) 21:43, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a slightly more concrete source here "http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=238772". Though, yes... it is still far from confirmed. Fitz05 (talk) 21:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

mechanic

"Molyneux has promised to remove a traditional RPG mechanic from Fable III, the emphasis being on removing "clunkiness" and making the game more accessible."

I'm sorry, what is this clunkiness mechanic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.49.202.17 (talk) 07:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Project Natal

Natal has not being confirmed by anyone, let alone Molyneux. The two citations that have appeared for it, I have never heard of, making me question their status as reliable sources. Secondly, the two citations that have appeared for it have not contained any quotes from Molyneux. For something like this, that sends up warning bells for me, that they are twisting his words out of context. Here is the OXM source I am sticking to until I find an RS that says otherwise.

FABLE 3 MIGHT USE PROJECT NATAL

Will Fable 3' use Project Natal? Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux is, unsurprisingly, being a tease about it. "I am going to say it's going to use a controller. But I've never said it's not going to use Natal," he said in a recent interview in the Netherlands.

The source was OXM UK, page 26. It doesn't have an author's name attached because it's only a tiny inch-long column.

That was very carefully worded to say "it might use Natal, but then again it might not." If you would like, bring it up at WPVG, giving a link to this thread for reference. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 14:04, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect i'm reverting the article to confirm that it will indeed use Project Natal, also included a quote by the man himself,refute this "Do you really think ... knowing me ... I wouldn't want to use something like Natal?" Molyneux said at the PICNIC Conference in the Netherlands earlier this month. "I mean that's just mad, man."

Hmm... while websites have more up-to-date information than magazines, I'm still not sure. While I accept that it confirms Natal (and it's a far better citation than before (I wasn't saying "no, it doesn't," I was saying "I'm sure it does, but find a better source." Apologies if I wasn't clear on that.)), I'd prefer it if it was updated when a more direct "yes" emerges from Lionhead. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 21:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Every recent article says the same thing, that Project Natal is confirmed for Fable III, I will take down the Project Natal part if Lionhead says otherwise but i don't think thats going to happen Renji2080 (talk) 21:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Molyneux today stated that "to not have the teams developing Milo and Kate and Fable III share technologies would be stupid" during a demonstration of Project Natal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.247.187 (talk) 05:55, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source? --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 13:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Molyneux says a lot of things about his games that don't end up being true, so we shouldn't assume that Natal makes it in. These games have always scrapped ideas last second to get it out. 72.199.100.223 (talk) 09:33, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Error

Regardless of their decisions, Bowerstone will change to reflect their choices

Isn't that a logical contradiction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.165.62 (talk) 13:29, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reading that line in context makes more sense than just on its own. Regardless of their decision (to eradicate crime or ignore it), Bowerstone will change to reflect their choices. Maybe it could do with rewording? Dark verdant (talk) 11:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fable II/Tyrant

In my savegame of Fable II, I am the (defacto) ruler of Albion. I achieved the title for owning everything that could be bought and keeping property values high. If the parent is the ruler of Albion (if I imported the savegame), where the heck does this tyrant come from? Also, will we be able to visit Samarkand? -- Azemocram (talk) 06:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spoiler

The secton wherein it is revealed that the tyrant "Logan" is the brother of the player character is, in my opinion, a spoiler. I would ask that fair warning be given in the article.
