Fable III Angry Interview – Joe Evil Eye’s Ted Timmins!
As you may know the fable franchise has burned me time and time again. Peter hypes it up. And we all get let down. Fable II was heralded as what Fable 1 should have been, but it still didn’t satisfy, at least not me. But yet I keep coming back for more. You BITCH! I don’t know why I do it, but I WANT to believe things will change. So you bet your ass I’m going to ask the tough questions when I meet up with the developer! Check it out!
Like I said in the video, in all fairness this does look like an improvement over Fable II, and if you Enjoyed Fable II your in for a real treat with improved co-op, weapon customization, and apparently holding hands and getting married, LOL. But the ruling an entire Kingdom does sound pretty bad ass. What say you? Are you looking forward to Fable III?

Fable 3= swords are like pokemons
Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to know so much about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I think that you can do with some % to pressure the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
I FUCKING HATE FABLE 3 I remember fable 1 lost chapters and I was in love but then fable 2 came out it had its pros and cons AND THEN FABLE 3 biggest load of shit ever fuckyou lionhead you lazy bastards you got rid of something that could have been awsome I have lost my respect for them thanks joe for showing us what shit this is I just wish I would have known how bad it was anyone know what I should do with it?
Ooh boy. If the Fable series burned you so far, Fable 3 is going to give you fourth degree burns (that’s to the bone). This guy is lying his ass off about what’s in the game. Ten times better than Oblivion… That’s true if you felt that Oblivion had too much stuff to do. I got this game, played it for two weeks and I’m about to get rid of it. Rip it a new one!
I own the game now, found this page from searching forums…Stopped watching the video after the foreign jackass said it was 10x better then oblivion….
I’m still sceptical about this game ever sense Fable II and I verdict for Fabel II was at least a 2.5 or 3.5/10 somewhere in that spot. Anyway my hype for Fable III is +5/10 no more, no less.
If this game doesn’t follow up on the all of the hype….the Peter’s head will hang on my sanctuary wall while John Cleese makes fun of it!!!
WTF!!! What i was waiting for all this time was a better co-op system, and being able to bring everything with you in co-op is nice but not being able to play co-op in splitscreen is a let down for offline players. Yeah it might be superb for those playing online but i play offline more. It will be a let down that you will have to share screens in local co-op. For those who don’t play co-op online it will be a let down and it will feel like the co-op hasn’t got that much better because the main problem with fable 2 is.. NO SPLITSCREEN!!! If co-op locally is just on one camera then i wont buy this game at full price because it wont be worth $60. Even though the co-op system had improved, it hasn’t improved at all for local players. WHAT A LET DOWN FOR OFFLINE CO-OP PLAYERS LIONHEAD. Use your lionheads and add splitscreen.
Better than TES Oblivion?! SHUN THE NON BELIEVER!!
The removal of couch co-op is a huge push factor.
This guy seems like he’s pretty full of shit. Calling it 10x better than Oblivion leads me to believe it will be 10x as dumbed down. We want RPG elements.
The biggest gripe I have is what he called weapon morphing based upon your unique style. Listening to what he said and knowing the Fable series, I can tell you that there will likely only be 2 weapon morphs. The blue if you’re a good guy and red if you’re a bad guy. BORING.
you do know they already show like ten wepond morphs
Hey Joe! Are you going to SGC with Spoony? BTW October twenty-sik?
Peter didn’t redesign the laws of physics and the universe!!
Hopefully they will include actual boss fights this time around. The end game was so disappointing. I should have been able to fight Lucian in some ultimate form. But no. Also, I hate when I fight a boss to find 10 minutes later it is a reoccurring enemy. At least show some originality people. Otherwise I am stoked for this game.
Opps, forgot I posted earlier… crap…
Does anyone know how I can contact AngryJoe? There is something that I want to bring to his attention. A reply to this would be nice.
I think you can write with him on twitter or facebook
awesome interview! the best part was the question “WILL FABLE 3 CURE CANSER?” LOLOLOLOLOLOL man if that was possible everyone would buy the game. hands down
i mean’t cancer
the game looks great. but i heard that you can import your character into fable 3 from fable 2, is that true?
Yes. Im not sure how it will affect the game, probably subtle references, like mass effect 2
Hi joe this is Light sg1 and i was hope they have thinks like a battel area that you can fight people for there swords are like what they are beting in the fight and it be so good if you can like have more people in the game like in red dead redemption free rome and i hope that they have the big armer like in fabel 1 and the most think that i like back is the big power sword so i can look so fearles that no man can attack me if this is was add to the game it would be the the best game lionhead has ever done.
I just want the game to be tougher. I flew through the second game once I got a few big spells and almost all the challenge went out the window.
I want a freakin challenge.
The first one was way too easy also.
I think we’ve gotten to the point as gamers where role-playing games (outside of MMOs) have retired. There may be the occasional turn-based game or mediocre JRPG, but in this generation it’s hard to find a RPG that puts more emphasis on stats than the action.
Most of the best RPGs out there (the Elder Scrolls, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the new Fallout games, etc.) all kick ass because they all let the player make their own decisions and create the action. But they’re not true role-playing games because, when it comes down to it, there’s no dice rolls, no number games, no stats or combat factors to worry about. It’s all based on the player’s skill and experience at the present time.
Fable 3 is the first RPG to actually acknowledge it isn’t much of an RPG at all. Yes, the character development is all there, but it’s really taken on the form of a strategy game like Brutal Legend now that you have a personal guard at your disposal. And I think if anyone can one up Double Fine in making these kinds of Action/Adventure/RTS games with some RPG elements, it’s going to be Lionhead (I’d say Obsidian first but I’m still suffering from the backlash of playing Alpha Protocol).
Think of games like Assassin’s Creed 2, GTA, or Modern Warfare 2. They’re not RPGs, of course, but they succeed in taking the fundamentals of character, story, and experience, and turn them into something so awesome you feel like you’re weaving your own story even when it’s confined in a mission-based system or multiplayer deathmatch mode.
Long story short, I think Fable is awesome, and the more games in the series that come out, the more these not-really-RPGs are going to kick ass.
They are starting to turn into blizzard, droping thier other games for the big money maker… MAKE ANOTHER BLACK & WHITE!
john cleese and stephen fry? sweet..
One thing that I want for Fable 3 is actually boss fights. Fable 1, loved the boss fights. Fable 2, kinda dropped the ball… heck no real end boss… Bullcrap. Plus, you fight ‘X’ boss and ten minutes later it is here fighting you again. Come on!
Omg thx for interviewing fable 3!!!
DDD
I dont see why people like Fable 1 so much. Yeah, it had a decent story, but the length of it murdered any emotional attachement I could’ve had to the characters. I shit you not, my first sitting with Fable 1, 5-6 hours. Second on, just as long, after that I’ve never touched that horrendous game.
And the armor part in that game wasnt even necessary. I played a warrior with the assasin disguise both sittings, because it looked better then everything else in the game (imo).
But as someone said. At least the first game had an ending, it was a boring one but it was an ending, a proper one.
I played through the second game 2 weeks ago (since the first game murdered my interest in the franchise) and damn it all. I was pleasantly surprised, I felt a real attachement to the dog, to the sister, to the wives, everything. The action was solid, the magic system was kind of weird at first but working great in the long run. (And no goddamn mana, I hate to be bothered with stupid things like Mana, it stifles that kind of characters and its a busy work you dont want) And the story was compelling and I felt that it was something that needed to be done, and that I had to work for it.
And it took a decent 20+hours for my first sitting, everything was mildly interesting at least, some things was really interesting.
Fable 2 was a sequel that improved on the franchise, and I think that Fable 3 will do that once again.
Just my 2 cents
I wonder if Lionhead will tweet a link to this like they did with Spoony’s interview. Hope they get a laugh out of watching some of the Fable II videos if they haven’t already. They seem like the kind of people who can laugh at themselves.
Never played Fable or Fable 2, so honestly I have no interest in Fable 3 at this point. Good interview however with some honest answers given so well done there.
I think you’d have to rave about this like you did Red Dead Redemption (which I preordered ages ago anyway) to get me to considering getting this one.
I’ll say straight out that Fable 1 was the best of the franchise, and will remain the best game of the fable franchise.
Fable 1 was a pure rpg, which…is kind of what an rpg audience wants for an rpg series..
(So naturally, Peter molyeux decides to declare “All aboard the fail-boat! Action RPG ftw.”)
There were tons of different spells in Fable 1, NOT just eight spells that sucked if you used them instantly, or alternatively KILLED EVERYTHING if you KA——ME—–HA—–ME—-HAAAA’d it long enough. In fable 1 each spell felt really distinct, and there were spells tied to good or evil, which was awesome! WHERE WAS BESERK IN FABLE 2?!? WHERE?!
Ahem, sorry. That’s a sore spot for me. Anyway. Armor in Fable 1 actually, you know, PROTECTED YOU, rather than Fable 2′s fashion-fab assortment of dyed clothes that did EXACTLY NOTHING to protect you. Fable 1′s story was compelling and deep, the metaverse enthralling…
What was the problem with Fable 1 again? Oh yeah, the LENGTH. We just wanted more of Fable 1! Thats it. That’s what we wanted for Fable 2: A longer version of Fable that really stayed true to the original, with a story set after the events of Fable 1 and maybe a few snazzy features thrown in, but definitely not removal of some of the best aspects.
Fable 2′s problem was not length, it was content. In my opinion I’ll take a shorter game that I enjoy more than a longer game that’s just ‘blah’ any day of the week. And the fact that Peter seems to think that taking the changes from Fable 2 to the nth degree, nearly chopping off the rpg part of the new game altogether, tells me that Fable 3 will be a failure of epic proportions.
More than that, Fable 3′s premise annoys me. The evil ruler is building more farms and factories, so naturally Peter thinks…that makes people starve? Newsflash! Farms and factories produce things. More things decreases that value of those things, allowing even a poor Fableian to purchase them easier. Including food.
It looks to me like Peter’s trying to fit a big-old political message into the game, which is just lame.
Alright, I’ve ranted long enough. I’ll end with what actually looks good to me about Fable 3: The multiplayer. If I buy Fable 3, it’ll be for that, and that alone. Ttfn.
Regarding factories, how about you pick up a history book before making a comment. The industrial revolution, especially in Britain, caused outright poverty, starvation, disease and a very poor level of living for all the working class. Farmlands were torn up, the countryside was obliterated and people were made to work from 8 years old up until the day they died in conditions and for wages that make a Chinese sweatshop look like a positive career move.
While it was necessary factories were a blight for the common folk with the only people profiting were those who setup the factories. There are still parts of England and much of Wales that are still recovering from the industrial revolution.
thank you for adressing the note about the armor system. and even though there was clothing in fable 2 there was no variety in that clothing. i would really LOVE to see the armor system in fable 1 come back
I didnt have the same problems other people did with Fable, and Fable 2. I liked both games for different reasons. IMO, just as a game player playing the game Fable 1 was far better then fable 2 in only that IT HAD AN ENDING. The ending to Fable 2 was BS and I didnt even get to kill the bad guy, someone else did cus I waited to long. I was in shock that that was all.
After all that work, after the story building it up so that this guy was the most horrid wretched filth ever and one shot by an NPC who was impatient and the whole game became worthless at that point.
I gave it a chance though, I stupidly assumed there would be DLC that would finally tie it together and close Fable 2 on an ending that I could be satisified with. I was fine with Fable 1, the ending closed the game, it was a boss fight worth calling a boss fight in comparison to the rest of the games fights, and I felt I had defeated the bad guy. In fable 2 we never got that closure. And what about rose? Why was that never explained? I found a letter from Rose but unless they released something after I gave up playing the game or missed it, this was never completed. It didnt go anywhere.
Basically my biggest issue was Fable 2 and the way Fable 2 built up all this investment in the story and then totally let me down because it went nowhere. Nothing was resolved, there was no bad ass fight at the end, there was no meaningful closure. Nothing. I know alot of people hated the dog, I didnt. I only didnt like that the dog was worthless. If the dog would actually fight like they said it would or hold enemies back when your doing ranged combat (like they said it would) then the dog would have been fine. As it was it just followed you and if you knocked bad guys down sometimes it would finish them off. That didnt ruin it for me though. Then the bad guy killed the dog; I was pissed and I wanted blood. No closure for that though, the ending jipped me; so I chose to get my dog back. Then what did they do? They released DLC where you could easily get your Dog back completely negating the choice your given at the end of the game.
Anyway, reason I dont want to get Fable 3 and refuse to get interested in it is because they went to far. They totally let me down with Fable 2. They had a half ass story, focused so much on making you care and then didnt even have the curteousy to finish the story in a meaningful way. Not only did I feel betrayed by Lionhead from all this I felt conned as then they released DLC (See the future) and all it did was tell us there was going to be a fable 3. It resolved nothing! I basically paid for an advertisement for a game to be sold in the future.
I’ve written to much. Point is… F**K FABLE 3!
I know what to expect. A not so bad game. Because what am I supposed to think, when they 1) Fail to implement basic inventory in previous games (Fable’s inventory is notorious for being one of the worst examples of it’s kind.) 2) Because of that, they decide simply to remove it and replace it with something that will only increase the time we spend doing nothing.
I’m really not interested in wasting my time running through different rooms and changing costumes, I want to do that in my inventory! This is a bad idea that failed many years ago, I honestly have no idea where they’re getting such ideas (there is more, but it’s a waste of space saying that into comments). Maybe some ancient garbage bin.
in real life when you want to put on a jacket you go into another room and grab it I think the point is Lionhead are trying to Immerse you more in the game with it
I guess I’m looking forward to Fable III, but I’m not really hyped about it. I liked Fable 1 a lot, but Fable II was massively disappointing to me. I still had a blast playing co-op despite the limitations, but that’s all it had going for it. The vastly improved co-op will likely make Fable III very fun for me, but seeing as that was the only thing I look back on fondly about Fable II, it’s not enough to get me hyped and wanting to purchase the game on release day.
I’ve also never been a fan of the halos/horns thing, and they’re not making that any better by coloring your weapons red or blue, or as I’ve seen in another video awhile back, giving you giant angel or devil wings.
so not as much hype this time around but they are also not talking about some of the features in fable 2 that did not work (like that annoying dog) makes me wonder if they have fixed them or not
anyway great interview I like
I really hope they let us play couch coop in some way without having to have another box. I don’t care if its split screen or the stupid tethered camera like Fable 2, it was still fun to play with friends sitting in the same room.
Otherwise I’ve been hyped about every other Fable game, and I can’t help but be exited about this one. Me and my wife are really looking forward to this game and we can’t wait to see how different our kingdoms are. Hopefully they don’t let us down in the next 4 months.
the first half of fable 3 sounds pretty much the same as 2 but the whole kingdom ruling part does sound badass and we will get to leave albion for a change
great interview, none of the bullshit wikipedia questions, you asked shit I really care about.
oh and lol you called him tim at the end, it might have to do with his last name but hahaha
FUCK THE CHICKENS!!!!!!!
They will probably still have that same-screen co-op on the same console like Fable II, but the industry seems to think split screen is dead.
CRY
Nay! No split screen? Poo! Not excited for it.
Well i played couch co op in fable 2 it was BORING
i actually am more excited if it gets some kind of co op like borderlands. without splitscreen that is
Borderlands also had couch co-op.
I know but i mean like free roam inside particular areas and a leveling up system, drop in drop out and the enemies get stronger when you play co-op
