I love the game, really enjoyed playing it, but there just isn't enough depth there...lots of variation, but not much depth. I think they spent too much time on the "anyone can pick this game up and play it!" when they should have leaned a *little* more toward the regular gamers.
Too easy to complete all aspects, as mentioned. Game itself is too easy, people fall in love with you seconds after you say hello, properties are cheap and easy to buy, I maxxed out all my Skill abilities way before the end of the game, once I'd completed it I've pretty much bought all the Strength ones too.
And there was no real "crescendo" to the story...great voice acting (Fry especially, Wanamaker, Sawalha) but it just plodded along. It wasn't a bad story by any means, but there was no substance to it, nothing that made me want to see what happened next...
And the dog - very well implemented, but it had very little involvement in the whole game...just became another inventory 'tool' used for the odd mission. More quest involvement please.
Wife/Kids just became an irritant. It was amusing to pick a wife initially and bonk her into next week for a sprog, but after that you could just forget about her, especially as there were so many ready to take her place should the...erm, worst happen....
On the upside, I loved the graphics...watching the sun rise and stream through the trees in Oakvale was fantastic. Loved the jokes and the whole comedy aspects to the gameplay, some hilarious parts. Good variation in the areas, possibly needed a few more monster types.
In conclusion - very, very enjoyable game, but more depth please for Fable 3.
I've also worked out how you get the furniture shop to actually sell furniture this time around which is handy.
