As you may have noticed in the last few weeks of November, nearly every writer at the Moving Pixels blog has had something to say about Fable III (and if you don’t know this, feel free to check out the links below).
From the game’s whimsical aesthetic to its politics to its possibly unfulfilled promises (within the game itself and from Lionhead about what the game offers as an experience), we all have some opinion on this newest iteration of the saga of the hero of Albion.
In this episode, we re-explore some of our isolated opinions about the game and try to suss out the effectiveness of the stranger design details, like the game’s pretty unique re-envisioning of a menu system.
Oh, and Rick and I get pretty heated about Reaver—nasty little bugger that he is (that is Reaver, not Rick).
