My problem with Peter Molyneux is that to me he seems like a used car salesman. He presents his games as being something totally differant from what they are in the end when you actually get them home and open the box.
Now granted, he has yet to actually sell me an outright lemon, and in the games he produces I see a lot of potential. Enough where while I am critical, I do typically wind up continueing to buy his product which is all that matters in the end I guess.
The big problem I have with him is that he seems to promote things as being in his games that actually are not there, and he does this at a point in the development process when he should know they won't be there. Granted he can be defended by the letter of what he says in many cases, but he definatly leads people to certain conclusions that just aren't true, and seems to do it intentionally.
The maddening thing about this is that very little of what he promises seems to be beyond the technology that we have availible. Much like "Age Of Conan" it wasn't like they/he were/was promising anything that was outright impossible, but what would take an incredible amount of effort and using a lot of cutting edge technology. Leading to a lot of disappointment when the games turn out to not be all that.
Still, in the end I think I'll be happy if Fable III drops the whole "eating meat is evil, and vegans are pure good" thing. I fail to see why to be a good guy my character has to exist on fruit, celery, and Tofu. I am also hoping the weight gain system also isn't wonky, muscles are more attractively drawn (especially for women), and similar things.
Fable is one of the few games where you can in theory rescue a bunch of people from slavers and then see the townsfolk cower in abject terror because you like to eat steak.
