CVG writes: Lionhead's discussed the new combat features set to appear in Fable III.
Speaking in a recent interview, senior design director, Josh Atkins told CVG that with the studio fully satisfied with the accessibility of Fable II's combat system, it's now out to up the "dramatic impact" of its encounters in the third game.
"We worked harder on staging our fights, our music and our overall combat experience to ensure the encounters all felt different and memorable - and in the end, more action-packed than before," he said.
Part of upping the drama meant rebuilding the spell casting system, Atkins explained, and now players can utilise their powers' full strength from the start.

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.
I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.
Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.
You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.
The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.
But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.
I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
Wow, I'm really looking forward to this game now. I don't have any RPGs, so this game would be the perfect place to start. Hope Lionhead manages to deliver on all these awesome features they're talking about!
Agree with Clizzz, Fable 3 is on the best game of 2010, an isili candidate goty 2010!
I love you MICROSOFT.
