Fable III Interview

The folks at Bit-tech managed to track down Lionhead’s Peter Molyneux for a three-page interview about Fable III, during which we glean a few more nuggets of info about the game – including their plans to break the sequel down into episodes. The related snip:

FR: What appealed to you about this industrial revolution setting?

PM: We’ve always had a feel for Fable as a game that’s got a big story, that starts in King Arthurs time and goes through this big arc so in some ways we’re [just] playing out that, but I’ve often thought it would be brilliant to be walking through Charles Dickens’ London. It was such a dark place and very episodic too so we’re doing that with Fable 3, we’ll give you the first big episodes, and you’ll be able to download new episodes, which is analogous to the way Dickens wrote.

[Molyneux goes on to talk about the levels of internet awareness in the game] Some of the shops in Albion are linked to the internet, and every so often, populated by stuff from Lionhead. You don’t have to go out to some horrible dashboard and download the Armageddon Pack 5.
