On Thursday morning, Lionhead Studios’ Peter Molyneux unveiled new features of the upcoming Fable 3 and discussed the challenge of moving away from the RPG niche.
Describing his love of early RPGs such as Wizardry and Ultima, Molyneux noted that these games depended on stats and numbers. “I lost my girlfriend because she was down the pub and I was still playing Ultima. Absolutely adored it. But again, it was a lot of numbers and stats and it was quite techy, and it required you to memorize an awful lot.”
