JesterofShadows:

I have some ideas, and I think they could work.

Character
* Name: Thank you Fable 2, because giving us the name Sparrow let the canon refer to the new Hero as a Sparrow for all time. This in my opinion was very wise. However, take a note from BioWare's Mass Effect, give the Hero a last name that in unisex, can be referenced in canon while allowing the player to have the majority of the control over the name.
* Gender: Huzzah for gender equality! However, in all fairness, this is computer game and we all know how women should behave and look in it, like complete goddesses. That sounds harsh, but how about when making a character, when I level up a female character, let's make it so her strength doesn't turn her into She-Hulk.
* Face: Why not offer a couple of facial shapes to choose from right from the begining. Also skin-colour, eye colour and so on and so forth, because then, when a unique face changes according to actions in game you have a truly unique look.
* Family: Ok, this was cool with the kids thing and all. However, along with making the children of the hero LOOK like the hero (using above features would be cool) lets give the game a feature, say clicking on the Hero's Wardrobe in the house, give the hero the option of changing the clothing not only of his own clothing, but the clothing of his family. Also, really, there's not much to do with your family in Fable 2, is there? I mean, shag and make babies and keep them happy, right? Ok, lets make the wife/husband part of the plot, give the family more quests, make them invulnerable (but relatively weak) NPC henchmen.
* Clothing: God damn it, make my clothes change with me, will you!
* (Edit) Will-Lines: Come on, let's have some fun with this, if you're , make them light blue/white, if you're then make them red.

Housing
One of my favorite features from Fable and Fable 2 was owning everything, because, let's face it, who doesn't want to own the world? However, Lionhead hit the mark with the Black and White games, making the buildings morph. Let's make it so that when you buy a building it reflects the owner, if buy a castle and you're , something from a fairytale, if you're , something from a nightmare. This is purely graphical (although some quests could be thrown in) but would make the game much more immersive and give the feeling that the character is having a drastic change in the world. Also, if you buy a shop, make the shop reflect you! If I'm and buy a clothes store, I want my clothes from there to LOOK . If I'm , I should be buying fancy clothes. Also, rented houses should have people who reflect my alignment!

Empire
Ok, we've hit a new issue, fun. In Fable we knew all the cities were basically independent. In the sequel we saw Bowerstone forming as a capital and the rest kind of being reliant on it. Let's give Albion what it deserves for the next game: an empire. Lets make more cities. All ruled by either one or two (even three) different empires (hell, you've got yourself a plot right there, who does the hero align with and eventually rule). Also, we need a new Guild. I think it's obvious now to the people of Albion that a standing army is going to be needed or hire a guild (or maybe three, one each attribute, another plot, right there, which could work with the three empire thing). Not the Old/New Kingdom, I'm talking something different.

Aging
First of all, put your hands up if you hate having an ageing hero?
Thought so. Can we turn this feature off? Or give us a final quest to do that. Or something. However, it would be interesting to spend the first half of the game using one Hero, only to have him die AFTER having at least one child who you spend the rest of the game as (using same stats).

NPCs
First of all, WHAT THE HELL IS THERESA DOING BACK!? I killed her! I slit her pretty throat! I don't care if I had the option not to, because now I have to assume I was a boy and didn't. What's the point in that? Any character that can be killed in a game should never be brought back for a sequel, that is why you make UNKILLABLE NPCs. Unless you are LucasArts and give both endings while giving an explicit canon stating that the Light Side always wins, you have no right to bring back a presumably dead character without explanation. If she wasn't quite dead in the Vortex or whatever and somehow achieved divinity, fair point, I'll cop that, just tell me so IN-GAME.
Moving on.
Some NPCs Fable 3 could use:
* Theresa: Ok, I'm being hypocritical, I know. But in the next game, let's flesh her out a lot, like explaining how the hell she survived my sword turning her into a PEZ dispenser. She's now got potential, lets use it.
* The Hero: From the first game, let's make more references to him.
* Scythe: Bring back the old codger. Yes, he's important, we get that. Now bring him back, either against Theresa or with her.
* The Spire: Not an NPC, but now definitely needed. Make it a city.
* Jack of Blades: Hmmm, when I think about this, probably not. He's dead, mask in lava. He be Jack of Ash now. However, weren't there three of these demonic beings?
* Thunder/Whisper/Briar Rose/Guildmaster: Ok, if we use the "Light Side is canon" thing, we can bring these back. Let's actually go where they came from, explore the world of Albion.
* The Sword of Aeons: BRING IT BACK!
* Rose: Ok, at the end of Fable 2 Rose is either a spirit or whatever, how about we make use of that.
* The Animal: We had a dog, that was cool, and was useful in removing a now redundant mini-map. Shall we go one step further? Let's not only make them reflect our alignment (white labradour for dog, black wolf for ) but say, lets give them more than one animal to choose from (cats, birds, rabbits, giant spiders, badgers, the list goes on and truly makes for a more interesting character, and this can be done easily, make a freaking Pet Shop where you exchange pets).

Jobs/Quests
How the *** did we end up with this god-damn weak excuse for way to earn money in the sequel? What genius thought up that? I think the only jobs in Fable 3 should be quests. Just make more of them. I mean, how come I can do more quests in the first game than the second? Come on, that's just being lazy!
To quote Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, "it's f****ng boring!"
Let's scrap the earning money crap, we're supposed to be a freaking hero! Our jobs should be guarding caravans, hunting criminals, raiding caravans, robbing the rich, enslaving and so forth!
And give us more quests! LOTS more quests. That's why the Guild in Fable was so useful, because while other quests were around, you could at least find more at the Guild.

Endings
Fable did it right. Could have used a few more quests afterwards, but the main quest had two possible real outcomes: / (TLC did the same thing). Fable 2 epically failed in this. Here are your possible endings:
* Raise the Dead: Everyone likes you, but hey, if you've been playing , they already do, and if you're , who gives a crap if they love you? In essence, this ending was only useful for the Xbox Achievement.
* Raise the Family: Raise from the dead a wife and children (if you had either) who you never had much affection for no matter what alignment you were because there wasn't much point to having them, nor could you do anything but piss them off, kill them, please them or shag them. Also "raise" Rose, but for such an important character to be raised, why the hell do you never see her again after, I mean what's the point? However, raising the Dog, well that is needed, because the dog is you damn map, dig spot locator and so forth. The fact you lose a NEEDED FEATURE TO COMPLETE THE f****ng GAME FULLY means you have to choose this choice if you've got any brain at all.
* Get Some Money: Considering how far in the game you've gotten, why bother with this choice? I mean, *** it, you already own half of Albion and back, you could just sleep for 5 days and get the $1000000, even if you're and have set the rent to dirt cheap. There is no reason at all to choose this.

Basically, give us endings that mean something, and make the other endings JUST as fun (basically, don't kill the god next time and make Rose reappear).

I fully apologise for the amount of swearing in this rant, but I use them to stress my points.

JesterofShadows:

At the end of Fable 2 we learn the fate of Oakvale. Lets see if the Hero can change the fate, maybe go and rebuild it.

ArbiterG:

so if ther will be a fable 3 what you guys think should ther be in it lick i think they should bring back fishing,fist figths,,normal cutscenes and more boses what do you think

now with xbox live updates anything can be added in including weapons, games, maps, quests. thats small fish stuff. the big ideas need to be the online experience. thats what hooks users. the more online interaction the longer players like the game and the more that would want to buy it. forget little floating orbs like in fable 2. players want to interact more with eachother not just the world. the coop was a idea but not great because of limited camera options. the next step is for players to be able to interact with eachother in fights or team up together. i should be able to walk into a town and see other players and what they are doing

we need to combine the ideas from world of warcraft and fable 2.

maybe after combing the two fable 3 will be te most advanved RPG on the market for 369

These are my top 10 ideas for Fable III

1.Jack of Blades should be back.And make him really hard to beat.

2.Make the whole game harder.Its as easy as a childs game and its for adults.

3.There should be another heroes guild and a bunch of apprentices.And a bunch of quest cards too.

4.When your you shouldnt look so damn ugly.no matter how pure you are,you still look ugly

5.The women,man!Most of the women are really fat and ugly.Make them skinnier and better looking.

6.Fishing should be back.

7.When your you should have glowing wings when you stand still as well as a halo.

8.Make a better storyline.There was no way the second storyline could match up to the first.

9.Fistfight clubs should be back

10.There also should be regular cut scenes

Those are my top 10 ideas for Fable III

Bringing back Jack would just be weird. That was what TLC was for, so we could kill him again. That time, we finished him off for . No, if there's going to be another , maybe make it the Shadow Court. If not that, take Fable's story to another land, and that sets us up for all new s. All the s so far are referrenced to Albion only, and not the rest of the world.

Shoot me if I said this already, but how about facing the Balvorn? Huh? Anybody?

How about your wives actually wear what you give them? Huh? I mean, they looked horrible in the second game. How 'bout the ten or so years between Fable 2 and leading up to the next Hero's adulthood, there could be a women's feminist revolution. We could see females integrated into the enemy classes, and the other job classes.

Bring back the schools!

I want to know what happened to The Hero of Oakvale. Also maybe we could play the child that we saw in the future? I know this seems like an odd request but could the children age in the next game. I want to see what having teens or pre-teens would be like plus that would add some other types of quest. Plus what happened to Rose? More Tattoo opitions.

It's hinted that the child in DLC will be the protagonist in the next storyline.

Hey, your child could grow up and be a Hero, and could interact with you as part of the story. While you're on your own main story quest, your child(if you have one) ages and becomes a Hero, and goes on their own story quest, and at intervals in the game your Hero catches up with his offspring to see how they're doing.

You could even play as your child, and their morality and purity tendencies are fixed according to how you treat them and so on. As you complete quests, you get to play as your child, and what you do affects how their quests go(the story would have to be fixed, because you control your Hero's actions and not your Hero-child's directly).

Rose died. Or not. either way, she can't come back as ALIVE. Yes, more Tattoo options. Fable TLC had a shmorgisboard of tattoos.

They could make this carry-over option. When you start your new game, it could ask you to choose between, of the past, the Hero or the Hero. Depending on whichever you chose, what kind of Albion your new Hero grows up in will differ.

For Fable 3, You need to add sea-going ships. Have the option for you to be a sailor, either for a side storyline or quest, or just as an option. You can become a sailor for trade, and depending on your actions turn into a pirate! The ship should be moving on the water,  not just press A and then you are somewhere else.

 The world should be more seamless, and you should have to load to get out of a city, but when your in the open get rid of all the load screens, fable 2 was a next gen game and there was a load screen for every little "zone".

 Yesterday I put in Fable, and I realized I like the cutscenes better than the interactive ones in fable 2. I think it is because of the close in camera, you  can see their faces. Oh, and the faces look better in fable, not the animation, but just the facial graphics look better than Fable 2.

I never liked the idea that your a hero but ant much bigger then the guards.I thank the next fable you should be huge like HEMAN huge,you know a rill worrier and if we choose to be a wizard we should look like a wizard like the old guy on Harry Potter.Maybe the next fable can be about the old kingdom and new characters that where back then. Make the ending off the next one the beginning of the first fabel game.I thought fabel 2 could of had more back ground on what happen to the last fabel hero,maybe showed us where the kids came from in fabel 2.I always did like the old sword and kingdom games.I like the angel wing idea some one had, that would be cool maybe even fly.Just maybe even becoming king or a knight would kick ass.Just a few thoughts of mine.All together there grate games ether way.PS how about some dame horses.

If you could fly, there would have to be enemies in the air, some kind of twist. Flying would make transport to easy.

I agree, we should find out where the kids came from. Maybe just illegitimate children?

If you want an old guy for a wizard, that's cool, whatever works for you. I just hope they don't bring back the old aging system for the spell using.
