Fable III Preview

After going hands-on with Lionhead's upcoming Fable III at the Eurogamer Expo, Xbox360er gives us a short preview piece based on their firsthand time.
The one thing that bugged me was the way you interact with your dog now. Instead of before, when you were just close to the dog you could issue certain commands or praise, this time you go out of the gameplay pretty much to play with him. You are still in the same location, but everything around you stops and you have almost a menu screen to choose options from. Once you see this you will understand what I mean, but I was slightly annoyed with it. You have to hit the back button to get out of this '˜dog mode' to continue on your way!
