Interview Peter Molyneux Interview

There is more depth in the combat, with more variation in the finishing moves when you’re delivering a killing blow.

Wait, you mean I can hit the single attack button even more? Have no control over whatever the fuck I'm doing (except for punishing my attack button of course)?

Awesome!

60% of people dont finish Fable?? Its as easy and short as RPGs get. Project Ego was a great concept Fable was an ok game, Fable 2 was weak. The golden happy trail was the icing on what made it the most dumb down game I have ever played. The only thing I really liked was the ability to fuck married women, have kids, the voice acting and the dog.

That comic was very entertaining.

And Molyneux said that the new game has a better combat system. You’ll feel more powerful as your combat experience grows. The weapon you carry on your back gets longer with the more foes you vanquish. If you behave in an evil manner, your blade will be nasty and drip with blood. If you behave in a noble way, the blade will be shiny and look more heroic.

How about we write a petition to him, telling him that he really should off himself and preserve waning shreds of his past dignity and awesomeness as now his ideas only get increasingly retarded and embarrassing with each passing day?

If you lose your mind, you will not even know enough to realize that you should die. You shall truly be doomed.

You shall come to a forum built of scorn and dismay, where the forumites themselves have gone mad. There you will be asked to make a terrible sacrifice. For the matter to be laid to rest, you must destroy that which keeps you alive and be a developer no longer.

Research showed that 60 percent of Fable II players finished less than half the game.

This must be a huge blow to Molyneux. Surely with his genius-like stroke he will manage to turn this around for Fable III.

The game cant be more accessible than it already is or easier. The game features a golden trail that leads you anywhere you need to go. The combat is ass easy and you never die. If people aren't finishing Fable its time to consider the fact that they may have went too far with the accessibility stuff.

... so, turn inventory into ME2's. Fuckin' awesome.

Fable's inventory is needlessly complex and just poorly designed. I cant see how anyone would be intimidated by it in that it has no weight or space limits. I think people were just frustrated by it. When you don't have a limit you end up carrying so much stuff it takes forever to get to something when scrolling through a list and in Fable you have to scroll through multiple list to get to one thing.

At least Garriott is just crazy, Molyneux has turned into a fucking clown.
