Over-hyped, simplified, insultingly easy. NPC Interaction HORRIBLE. Sick of games getting easier, catering to casuals

Don't get me TOO wrong. I was addicted for about 3 days. I overlooked the cutting out of a very important aspect of the game in NPC interaction. I mean....COME ON...I CANT EVEN CHOOSE WHAT I WANT TO SAY? I wont even replay the game because I will have to wait through stupid quests in which I don't even get a say in what I freaking say!!! Like the tragic comedy quest...would have been great if I choose my lines from my expression wheel. (Which would have made the game WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY better) If you didn't have the right expressions yet...then it would boot you out and you might have to come back later. The combat is sooooooo easy. It's actually an achievement to not get knocked out the entire game? That should be impossible to do!!!! Yeah it may have the best story of all the Fable's(Maybe...) but that is all this game is. They catered to casual gamers big time and lost me as a fan. Fable II was twice the game Fable III is...and Fable I just maybe the closest to the best. Imagine growing from young to old....Oh wait...they cut that out too!!! I am so dissapointed!!!!!The replayability is garbage...GARBAGE!!! Game Informer gave Fable III a 9!!!! They spent 5 minutes with it maybe...It's replayabilty is ok since you could be good or evil...but the forced NPC interaction and the inability to skip many boring scenes will have less than a fourth of the replayers from the last Fable.....Game Informer hyped and helped Fable III sooo much...and misinformed me...Did Lionhead...ooopss..sorry...I meant lionhead pay GI or something? The game deserves an 8 max. Graphics Good, Sound Good, Combat is terribly easy. NPC interaction has basically been cut out all together...I had to force myself bored to get that damn "touched by a hero" achievement. People say the graphics are better than Fable II? It's the same damn engine...they are the same....The lag is horrible in towns due to shoddy performance tweaking by lionhead. The Hollowmen look like baby toys in this game...This is a Mature rated game...I want the evil looking hollowmen from the last Fable back.
Bottom line....dissapointment all around......
