Trivia / Fable III

Go To

  • Actor Allusion: Where do you meet Ben Finn (played by Simon Pegg)? During the section where you fight the walking dead Hollow Men, of course.
  • Ascended Fanon:
    • So when Peter Molyneux heard that the humor of his games was comparable to that of Monty Python, guess how he reacted? He hired John Cleese to be your butler in the third game!
    • 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.
  • Celebrity Voice Actor: Fable III features Charlie Brooker, Jonathan Ross, John Cleese, Ben Kingsley, Simon Pegg, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, and Naomie Harris with Zoe Wannamaker and Stephen Fry returning.
  • Creator Backlash / Executive Meddling: If Fable III seems incomplete, Peter Molyneux has his own reasons why.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: 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.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The devs expressed plans to create DLC that would have added more explorable areas and quests to Aurora. However, they ultimately came to nothing.
    • 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 Outside-Context Problem in the form of the Crawler.
