John Cleese talks about his role in Fable 3

Humour is a rare commodity in gaming but Fable III looks like it may raise a smile. John Cleese certainly hopes so anyway. In the latest developer diary - see above - the veteran actor talks about his role as a butler in the forthcoming action adventure. Lionhead's Peter Moulyneux is typically upbeat too. There's an element of uniqueness here which I feel lots more people will enjoy. There's drama, there's emotion, there's a feeling of power, there's a feeling of excitement and I think we're really learning to blend that stuff together and deliver an experience in Fable 3 that really hasn't been seen before. Molyneux – of course – is no stranger to hype but for me Fable 3 is one of the most interesting games due out this year. I am slightly concerned about the apparent downplay of the RPG elements - dumbing down maybe? The GUI stuff looks impressive though. What about you? Looking forward to Fable III?
