Context Trivia / FableIII

Go To

1* ActorAllusion: Where do you meet Ben Finn (played by Simon Pegg)? During the section where you fight the walking dead Hollow Men, [[Film/ShaunOfTheDead of course]].
2* AscendedFanon:
3** So when Peter Molyneux heard that the humor of his games was comparable to that of Creator/MontyPython, guess how he reacted? He hired Creator/JohnCleese to be your butler in the third game!
4** There are achievements for marrying (You married another player! N.B. Marriage not binding in any real court of law.) and having a child (We all knew this day would come. Having children online is finally a reality.) with another player over Xbox Live.
5* CelebrityVoiceActor: ''Fable III'' features Creator/CharlieBrooker, Creator/JonathanRoss, Creator/JohnCleese, Creator/BenKingsley, Creator/SimonPegg, Creator/MichaelFassbender, [[Series/{{Skins}} Nicholas Hoult]], and Naomie Harris with ZoeWannamaker and Creator/StephenFry returning.
6* CreatorBacklash / ExecutiveMeddling: If ''Fable III'' seems incomplete, Creator/PeterMolyneux [[http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/17525/molyneux-fable-3-is-a-personal-failure has his own reasons why]].
7* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The PC version was removed from Steam after the discontinuation of Games for Windows Live. Even if you buy a Steam key from a reseller, you have to deal with the [=SecuROM=] DRM, which can be a real pain. And you can forget about the DLC because buying it on Steam only granted you keys to be used with GFWL, so they are pretty much useless now. Honestly, if you want to play this game nowadays, you are better off pretending that the PC port never existed and just buying it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
9** The devs expressed plans to create DLC that would have added more explorable areas and quests to Aurora. However, they ultimately came to nothing.
10** The invasion in the second half of the game was originally supposed to be the Auroran civilization. Perhaps because of this plot's uncomfortable similarity with real-life events, the enemy was ultimately changed to an OutsideContextProblem in the form of the Crawler.
