10:39 --It's not clear how this works, but it sounds like this is a side-quest mechanic, since you can listen to the story and investigate the characters involved to see if it's truthful.
Soo, in actuality, I CANT judge them accodingly. If I were king, I'd make someone stand on their head for 24 hours as punishment >=]
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.
10:41 --There's another new mechanic called touch, with expressive and dynamic touches.
10:42 --The expression system from Fable II doesn't really fit in in this game, since as Molyneux said it wouldn't be regal if you were doing a Micheal Jackson moonwalk.
10:43 --If you're trying to court a woman, the touch system will allow you to shake their hand, and later on you earn the right to turn that handshake into a hug, and that can later turn into an embrace, and eventually it can turn into "a full, passionate, snog."
Molyneux says it shouldn't take too much of the imagination to think about where that may lead."It's all about touching people as ruler and how that makes you feel."
0:55 --To hold their hand, to walk side by side holding hands and watching a sunset.
Molyneux is describing a scenario where you hear the cries of a child screaming from the room of the house. In Fable II, it'd say something like Press A to save the child.
With the dynamic touch system, it sounds like there'll be a more natural system where you pull the child from the house and cuddle them and reassure them.
10:46 -- Molyneux says the touch mechanic is only one tiny sliver of what's new. Fable III is confirmed for a late 2010 release date. On Xbox 360, obviously.
10:47 -- He's giving a talk at GDC Europe in a few hours where potentially more detail will be provided. Sigh.. that was a waste =/. Come on Bungie!!! *crosses fingers*
10:48 -- Molyneux stepped off stage, and that's apparently it. That was the most low-tech press conference from Microsoft I've ever seen. Someone behind me just whispered "This is it?"
