Fable 3 conferance >=/. DONT STICKY *angry*

10:22 --Molyneux says you can feed the entirety of a population, and actually walk into the royal coffers to access your treasury. You'll be able to set tax rates and decide what type of attitude you'll have while ruling.

There'll be a king or queen sitting at your side pushing you to make decisions.

Oh, god, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. This is coming from Molyneux... Over promising again..

0:23 -- />There's a shot onscreen where a king is being heckled by a gang of kids and a queen.

You start Fable III as the son or daughter of the hero from Fable II. Half the game will be the journey to rule the land.

Oh, you actually start Fable III based on your Fable II save game data, so it ties in. No real specifics.

10:24 --From the beginning of Fable III, you'll gather support among the people in Albion, and pull together followers and bring people together.

10:25 --There'll be a campaign element as well, as you have to make promises to your people along the way, and you'll need to keep the promises once you toss out the tyrant on the throne and take over.

10:26 --So you can make any number of promises as you're moving through the first half of the game, the trick is being able to keep them once you're in office.

"Look at Obama, he's not looking as fresh-faced as he was, is he?" Molyneux says the world expects so much from its leaders, so why not give that kind of power to the player

10:27 --As you move toward the throne in Fable III, you'll witness a number of injustices as you get through the world. So you may think of course you're going to set that right, but it might be difficult to hold true to that once in power.

You guys can check our live blog here too :P

Oooh this sounds like it will not do the exact same things.

10:28 -- Once you rule, you'll be seen as a hero type of ruler, which Molyneux compared in style to Captain Kirk from Star Trek. You can still fight, you can still lead your people, you can have royal visits to locations within Albion.

Oh, I'm sure he's not trying to insult Obama. He's in Germany, for God's sake.

10:29 --As far as gold management and your treasury goes, you must decide where you want to allocate the funds. It's possible to build up certain regions or exempt areas from taxes if there's poverty.

Bower Lake is in the game, with a new house in the middle on an island.

10:30 --Bowerstone has continued to grow, which now includes industrial districts where there's a lot of crime and poverty. It sounds as if you can dramatically change regions.

He says there's a very noticeable difference in how places develop depending on your actions as ruler.

Doesn't seem much like a Fable game.

10:31 --Albion isn't the only setting. It's just one continent in a much larger world, which Molyneux wouldn't say more about.

Uh oh, sound like he's setting himself up for disaster... don't take more of a task than you can handle Molyneux!!

That link is working now, for me at least.

10:32 --Molyneux says that with Fable II's story they were still learning the art of story creation.

"This time, for me, we really are taking this seriously."

*facepalm* so they didn't take it seriously before? =/ Ugh, he's so disappointing..

Why are people quoting the blogs again? We don't need the same information 6 times :?

10:32 --Molyneux says that with Fable II's story they were still learning the art of story creation.

"This time, for me, we really are taking this seriously." [So they didn't take it seriously in Fable II?]

10:33 --There will be some characters in Fable III that return from Fable II. Molyneux is going on about how the story for the game is being inspired by real-world historical events.

LOL even Ign made a comment about them not taking it seriously.

"The big problem we have in games is seeing the story early enough... one of the reasons we didn't get to that drama in II is that we weren't able to see the story until the game was almost finished."

What in God's name does that even mean?

10:34 --He wants to squeeze the intrigue and drama of real life into Fable III's virtual space, but Molyneux says one of the issues is being able to set up the story properly before things kick off.

He says Lionhead has been experimenting with a new way with seeing the story internally, he's talking about internal development process.

Molyneux's games always look great on paper. This also seems very interesting i myst say. It is taking awfully long though.

10:35 --The developers have been looking at the story as they develop the product, so instead of everyone seeing the finished story at the very end, the staff is acting through the story as they build the game. He says it's really important, as a designer, to get a good sense of story as the game is in development.

10:36 --Showing a video with Lionhead employees on a stage acting out the game's scenes to try and "get to the heart" of this story, which Molyneux describes as massive, with plenty of choices and consequences.

10:37 --These videos then go back to the design teams to inspire the staff at the studio. There's to be returning voice talent from Fable II in Fable III.

I predict this mechanic to be like Dynasty Warrior's.

Whoops.. too soon.

10:38 --There's a new gameplay mechanic in Fable III, called a judgment system.

He says that as a king, you should be able to point at NPCs who come before you in your throne room or while you're out on adventures, you can listen to their stories and judge them accordingly.

The MS portion of the conference hasn't started yet.

And I guess there's more from Lionhead.
