The performances are ”very much dependent” on how we play the game. It’s not ”traditional dialogue” says Molyneux. John Cleese is our butler.
Speaking with IGN, Molyneux said Fable III has ”the greatest cast that any computer game has ever had.” That’s quite the boast given Rockstar Games’ pedigree of securing top notch talent for voice-overs in their Grand Theft Auto series.
It’s how the performances are brought to the player in the game, more than just having big named stars read some script. ”How we’re using these characters is very much dependent on how you play the game,” Molyneux explained.
”This is not like traditional dialogue – we went into a studio with John Cleese and I think he’d never done anything like this ever before, because we had to say ‘if the player is like this, how are you going to react’. It was a very interesting process.”
Confirmed notables include John Cleese as our butler, Stephen Fry returning as Reaver and Jonathan Ross for an unannounced role. Are you looking forward to Fable III?
