Choice quotes from the cast include Sir Ben Kingsley saying, “This is my first experience voicing a video game, so what drew me to it was the team, how committed they are, how well organized everything is and how beautiful the game is,” and Simon Pegg stating, “One of the things that’s missing from a lot of video games is good writing and good voice work. I think this one has a wonderful mythology and it’s witty and it’s engrossing.”

Fable III will put the player in the role of a revolutionary in the world of Albion, preparing to topple the evil king.

The adventure requires allies and one half of the game will be dealing with how gamers, after seizing the throne, will interact with those who have helped them get there.
