Peter Molyneux, the designer of the Fable series, mentioned during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco that the goal of Fable 3 is to hit sales of over 5 million copies.http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/107/1076735p1.html Molyneux also stated: "Surely, we had to keep experience. Experience for role-playing games is a massive thing. I began to realize that experience is all about combat, but the Fable world is much bigger than that."http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/107/1076735p1.html

The action in Fable 3 takes place 50 years after the events of Fable 2. The player’s Hero embarks on an epic journey against Logan, the tyrant king of Albion and the brother of the main character. The goal in the first part of the game is to become the King of Albion, by defeating Logan. After this task is complete, the main character becomes the new ruler of the continent and has to face a new threat: Aurora, an unknown nation which seeks to conquer the player’s kingdom and to destroy the new king.http://lionhead.com/Fable/FableIII/

The gameplay in Fable 3 will also have some new features developed by Lionhead’s team. The player has the chance to develop his character’s destiny due to the non-linear story-line. Starting from the streets of Albion, the character can become a mighty king. Still, the character will have enemies on the streets. Those who oppose him can be easily defeated with the new One-Button combat. Players will be able to combine hand-to-hand combat combos with powerful magic and ranged attacks.

The character’s companion will also modify his behavior following the actions of his masters. Just like in the previous episodes, each action and decision will change the entire story. The character will evolve, becoming a good king or a tyrant. The character can also develop emotional connections with NPC’s, allowing him to have more friends or more enemies. The "Expressions System" features the "Dynamic Touch" that can be used to by the character to embrace his closest friends.http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/fable-iii/
