Fable 3 picks up some 50 years after the events of the previous game, with you playing as the son or daughter of Fable 2's hero. If you have a completed save file from Fable 2, the new game will carry over the impact from your actions in order to set the table for your new adventure.
That adventure breaks down into two major pieces. During the first half of the game, which Molyneux calls the "journey to rule," you're gathering supporters and taking down a tyrant who's come to power. In the second half, you become the hero ruler who must face the stark realities of your reign. Molyneux likens Obama's struggles since taking office to a modern example of the sort of weighty decisions he wants players to experience. He also hopes to better tackle the story's development through a new scripting process. Lionhead Studios took the game's completed script to a top soundstage in London, hired a troupe of professional actors, and proceeded to act out the game as if it were being made as a film. The result helped them refine everything from dialogue passages to different camera angles used to capture a scene.
