Molyneux: Three more Fable games planned

In Gametrailers.com's latest interview with Fable 2 head master Peter Molyneux, we used our ninja-ears (yes, ninja-terming body parts is allowed under the ninja-naming rulebook) and actually picked up on a Fable franchise fact. At around the 5:10 mark (video after the break), Molyneux talks about his intent for the Fable franchise going forward saying that "we got plans for Fable three, four and five" and that "it's actually a big story arc." With the average turnaround time to develop a Fable game being around the eight year mark, our kids' kids will be playing Fable games for decades to come.

But translated from Molynese to English, he's saying there will only be one more Fable game.

In other words- great way to milk a franchise to death.

It's been 8 years eh...damn. That's one long time for a sequel of a decent successful game.

I'm kinda hoping that Fable II will have atleast some nod to the original fable. Like tales of that heartless dick that **Spoilers** killed his sister so he could get a shiny sword. Or the other way around if you have a gamesave where you played as a good guy "Remember that guy that saved Albion AND his sister? Wow what a rightly good chap!"

Since this is the "new" Molyneux I fully expect that these games are already in development, especially since he said he wasn't going to make pie in the sky promises anymore. Then again....I didn't buy that whole "new" Molyneux crap then, and I don't buy it now either =p

Well, Fable has been one of my favorites. It became one of my kids favorites...would be kinda cool for it to be one of my grandkids favorites.

I never played the first Fable. Are these completely separate stories, or will I need to play the first one before playing Fable 2?

Fable 1 and Fable 2 are different. 500 years of difference to be exact.
