Couple that with a strange mouse lag evident on turning the camera, and I quickly switched to an Xbox 360 controller.

You have to scroll between styles with the mousewheel, which makes your combat changes the result of planning, not brilliance. Yet exposing Fable III's endgame is no spoiler: not only is your fitness to rule taken for granted by everyone you meet, but the game has already been out for half a year on every other platform but ours.įable's fights can be approached with firearms, magic or melee weapons, but jumping between the stances is far from intuitive if you're using mouse and keyboard. As heir to the throne, there's only one place you're heading with that sort of behaviour. Just as the group seem ready to make moves for a revolution, Logan catches wind of his sibling's actions and captures Swift, promptly executing him for treason.You play the sibling of the current, overly cruel king of Albion, and you're quickly catapulted from the castle into a life of RPG rebellion achieved by winning the support of the general populace. Guided by her, alongside Walter, the young hero begins seeking out allies across Albion and gains help from several people they meet: Sabine, leader of the mountain nomadic community known as the "Dwellers", a nomadic community that lives in the mountains Major Swift and Ben Finn, soldiers from the Royal Army and Page, leader of the "Bowerstone Resistance". During this time, the Royal Hero encounters Theresa, the enigmatic Seeress of the Spire alongside their distant and ancient relative, who foresees them becoming the new ruler and saving Albion from a terrible fate. While escaping into an hidden passage, the group find themselves entering the former king's hidden dimension and decide to make use of it, with Jaspar remaining to aid the hero from within it. Joined by their butler Jasper, the Royal Hero flees from the castle.

That night, after their decision, the Royal Hero is advised by their mentor, Sir Walter Beck, to escape with him and plot the downfall of Logan due to his actions. Upon seeing their love interest trying to prevent Logan killing a group of citizens that had come to protest his rule, the Royal Hero is left with the choice of sacrificing either the group or their love interest against their will. While attending to chores, the young sibling overhears rumours that Logan has changed over the last four years of his rule, becoming excessively tyrannical, to the point that they recently executed a citizen of Albion for a minor crime. Following the death of their father, the youngest child of the Hero of Bowerstone (the Royal Hero) lives within the capital's palace alongside their love interest and their older brother Logan, the new king of Albion.
