Fable III Takes Inspiration From GTA Series

Peter Molyneux has revealed Rockstar has influenced the development of Fable III.

Rather than having a start button menu the game utilises The Sanctuary a variety of rooms that contain different maps, clothes and other items for the RPG.

“I think things like Grand Theft Auto [have influenced us] - the way they use shops rather than doing lists is great," Molyneux explained to CVG in a recent interview.

He continued, "we've used some of that, especially in The Sanctuary area. I just feel the way that entertainment is going is trying to give us less and less complexity or 'fiddly-ness' and more accessibility."

The Lionhead boss also reassured gamers the use of Kinect in Fable III will not be limited to “some crass mini-game where you jump around and kick chickens.”

Molyneux revealed earlier this week Fable III would be demoed at the Develop conference in Brighton where he would talk about the story, cast and simulation of the third RPG in the series.
