Thanks to Kush I got the game. I will say this.....they have improved some annoying things that were in Fable 2.I love the new start menu where you are now sent to your sanctuary and can access your weapons,clothing,map,ect all in one place which is very nice. Holding the A button now for expressions and usually holding it for lengthy times and getting rid of all the emotes and being able to choose which ones like the past 2 Fables was kind of a disappointment since their are now less expressions.(you now have to do these to gain guild seals that you spend to level up your character.) I would say this is still a good game,but is the worse of the 3. They have improved the game graphically a little bit but not a whole lot. Having voiced actors even the main character for the game was a nice touch. For me the main problem.....story.Its very short and the ending is dumb. Thats what I liked alot about the first Fable...the story!!! Also their are not alot of side quests as well once you are done with the game. It is also still very easy to get money in this game as well. Even though the levels are much bigger it still seems like their is less to do. If anything they should have combined Fable 2 and Fable 3 together in a sense but why would they do that when they could make Fable 3 and get more money that way? It seemed like they just rushed this game with the story and just threw whatever on the table and tried to make a story.Dont get me wrong there are things to like about this game as well. They have improved the gameplay and fighting as well especially the guns. One thing that was cool was that you can now combine two spells to make a brand new spell. But they have gotten rid of two spells(raise undead and slow time)which I got used to after awhile. One thing they definitely improved was the co-op. It is much better and you are now able to roam free in someone elses world without both having to be next to each other pretty much the whole time like Fable 2.Another reason why it seemed like they rushed it was because the game is somewhat glitchy at times,especially the dog. Ive had him get stuck in between a tree and I think a wall as well. He also takes forever to get to a dig spot after barking about it and then not being able to move up to the spot or getting confused on where to go. Also online you or your friend might be gliding/floating in the game and not being shown your character actually walking.Is this still a good game? Yes. But is it the best Fable? No. I think one reason I'm so harsh about this game as I was Fable 2 was because the first one delivered alot more and to me imo a great story which 2 and 3 lacked compared to the first. Also now instead of getting certain experience depending on what you do whether that would be range,magic,melee,you are now given guild seals to use which you use on the road to rule(which is a long road leading up to the castle with several gates you have to keep on unlocking by completing more and more of the main story)and have chests to choose from whether that would be spending money on being able to buy houses(which you shouldn't even have to pay for)and expressions as well as new spells and upgrades.I would still give this game about a 7 to 8 out of 10(I cant decide). I really hope with the next Fable they wait to take their time and actually make it lengthy because their really aren't many sidequests to do after you are done which was disappointing and I hope they make the story more interesting and surprising because when your done with the game,their really isnt much left to do.

I agree with everything you said. I play these games for the story line and this one is weak. Even two built up all this hype for a terrible ending IMO.

Agreed. I really hope they come out with some good dlc but probably not. I say they should take their time and make a good story for the next one. I guess its just Lionhead for ya.
