Molyneux "Hates" Idea of a Fable Trilogy

GOOD STUFF!
I love the idea of Fable to span future generations! As long as there are stories to base the plots of Fable games on, there will probably be more Fables.

Ah, of course. Why limit yourself to just 3 titles when you can keep pumping out the same game with minor upgrades each time and rake in the annual GDP of a small country?
Unless Fable 3 does something totally unexpected, it's still going to be a fairly average hack-n-slash RPG. I couldn't stand Fable 2, the game wanted me to spend more time dicking around town doing jobs and flexing then actually doing anything fun.
Well, I can't really say this is unique to Fable. Too many RPGs try to drag you down with micro-managing your inventories and relationships with people. That's probably one of the reasons so many of them have ridiculously long play times, a lot of that is spent out of the action.

Is the cast of famous voice actors the only important thing to you in Fable 3? You seem to have some obsession.Onyx Oblivion said:
Me, but only when it's forced, like Spiderman or Pirates of the Caribbean. Those only needed the first film each.ultimateownage said:
You know what this means for me: I'm not buying another Fable game until I hear it's improved enough, since I know he's going to continue making them and adding on to each one. Basically, it's like skipping his multiple betas (ie everything after the first one's special edition) and just getting the final product.
This has me thinking about the possibilities for future Fable games. Will they follow the trend of the current three Fables by ever increasing in time period? How many more Fables until swords are completely obsolete and it becomes just a third person shooter with belching and hookers? The change that Fable 2 brought by excluding armor was enough, so I couldn't imagine any other time period later than this installment.
The gameplay news for simplification by any stretch also makes me a bit leery regarding later titles. If the games are just getting simpler to accommodate a large enough audience to include those scared off by a pause menu instead of catering to the growing experience of Fable veterans, how will they ever grow as far as gameplay or possibly even story?

Even with the new "revolutionary" setting, I have a difficult time trying to imagine fantasy creatures alongside the standard human fare of enemies. That is not to say it will be bad necessarily, but it certainly gives me reason to pause.Velocirapture07 said:
I wish it could be a tirlogy. With the way the series has been deteriorating I can only hope he stops before it gets completely awful.
Such a true statement. While I enjoyed the first game, Fable 2 was a game that just tried many things and didn't bother to go beyond surface depth on any of them. It is perhaps the most hollow gaming experience for me ever. A game can get by only doing one thing very well, but I cannot thing of any one thing Fable 2 did well.Aurora219 said:
The Fable series sufferd as soon as fable 2 was released....Short story, no real closeur....It had so much potential.....just ruinedJust_A_Glitch said:
You know why the Fable series will never go away? Because Peter Molyneux knows that he can plant each Fable game outside in the garden. And then, when he returns, that Fable game will have sprouted into a Fable tree, from which he can pick a crop of new Fable games, and then plant them as well. And so the cycle continues.
All our actions have consequences, right Peter?

Not really. I just know that the Fable games have always been quite funny, and good acting goes a long way with humor, since it's all about the delivery.Flamezdudes said:
The Movie 2 isn't going to happen, unless you make a video of Peter Molyneux's son begging for it.JourneyThroughHell said:
