Fable III Dev Diary Features Monty Python's John Cleese

[Tolerant Fanboy]

I wonder how you start off powerless in Fable 3 considering your brother is the Tyrant king, surely being a prince is anything but powerless?

Yes, because tyrannical monarchs are renown for their generous treatment of their siblings. Well, I suppose the more nepotistic among them might stick their brothers and sisters into the head position of puppet governments, but this one is likely going to opt for the "kill the potential rival" path.

I find myself strangely unmoved by Molyneux. Maybe I've just been overexposed to Steve Jobs, and other slightly-mad hype machines don't affect me anymore. That said, I have to love his logic. "People have called the game's humor Pythonic. Let's get John Cleese on board!" Of course, any logic that ends in "Get John Cleese involved" will meet with my approval.

The GUI (it took me embarrasingly long to figure out what they were talking about when they said "gooey") remind me of the Tribal and Civilization stages of Spore, with the global-scale scrolling and zooming. A shame you're limited to humanoids...

Also, did anyone else think of Princess Peach when they saw the crown getting textured at 4:21?

I won't get infected by Peter; no, no, NOOO! Damn you Molyeux and your infectious over enthuaism!

I'm sorry Admiral Ackbar, I think he's got me. Again.

He just had to get John Cleese on his side didn't he?

Nice to hear the Black & White music though. Got me all nostalgic.

John Cleese does the butler's voice... and the btuler's name is jasper.
This is fate, I tell you.

Indeedie... I'm getting pulled into the trap too, I think - Though I did actually enjoy Fable 1 and 2.

I know the Molneux has let us down .. I can still get angry over the disapointment I suffered after 3 hours of Spore ( god damn that made me angry)

Peter Molyneux had absolutely nothing to do with Spore - Will Wright, on the other hand, was the lead on that one.

Oh damn!

Sorry about that.. Fuck..

And so you have found the final piece of the lady's pyjamas. God, that would make an excellent closing line to a novel, wouldn't it?


I fell out of my chair laughing at that.
