I 'll start off by say that the game have a number of improvement over fable ii - but some thing that be specifically address just do not seem to have \* really \* be fix . as the title state - I do not really understand why female hero have to be so incredibly large . it be really out of place , and Peter Molyneux specifically say that in this game we would not look like `` slightly different look man '' . Make no mistake , we still do , and at the start there be even a cross-dressing quest so I do not really think he take the complaint seriously . you will still grow taller and generally larger than everyone , and you will still look manly in 90 % of the outfit in the game . the second thing I do not like be this hand-holding business . it seem like there be just \* too much \* of it . it be cute once or twice in appropriate situation -lrb- like lead a child home -rrb- , but it be get to the point where it be just creepy in some of the quest . it be gimmicky , and while it be a interesting dynamic I just feel it be overuse and not necessary -lrb- like when you be escort a grown man you be not in a relationship with through a tunnel or to another town ... -rrb- the Sanctuary take the place of the standard rpg-style menu be incredibly innovative and actually responsive . I have concern when they be first talk about it , but it load immediately and I have yet to lock up while visit any of the room . I sometimes miss the menu , but I think that be just the old school RPG ` er in I . Relationships be slightly more interesting -lrb- and there be some better-looking people now too -rrb- - with folk actually send you on fetch-style quest before take next step . it be a little more realistic , but it be not really what I be hope for -lrb- a relationship that grow over time rather than a few emote , a fast travel trip to another town and a cheap ring -rrb- . the interaction seem to be limit to one on one , which be a improvement over the last game . it be sometimes annoying to be court one person , and end up with the entire town in love with you . they should have keep the old style of selecting which emote to use as well - one can only take so much pat-a-cake before gouge one 's eye out ... Jobs be still here , and this time they actually take a little more hand-eye coordination than just mash the a button at a certain time . you progress in job be link directly to the storyline - and honestly I do not really care much for that either . too much be tie to the storyline - you will have to progress to a certain point before you can start do the side thing like buy business and make more money at job . I see what they be try to do , but it feel a little too linear and less open than the last game . I feel like I have to do the story , and to be quite honest I be not really feel it . Peter must be daft if he think the last story be somehow more forgettable than this one . at least the last one be not such a tired and stale `` tyrant oppress the people hero rise to overthrow tyrant '' standard . fable II 's story I actually think be interesting and original , and certainly more think out than this one . they do reuse a lot of the voice act from the previous game . I do not know if it be intentional to give the long time fan a sense of familiarity or if it be just laziness , but it be there and I think it be worth mention . the other thing I will mention regard the voice acting be the script be a lot funnier . fable ii be funny , but this game be even better in that respect . I literally spit out drink on some of the butler 's quip in the sanctuary -lrb- like when approach the mannequin naked or leave while in a chicken suit -rrb- . it make the lack of a original and interesting story all the more lamentable . all in all , it be still a fun game to play if you enjoy the fable series , but they regress in enough place that I can not in good conscience give this game a full five star rating . four star be a good rating -lrb- and maybe even too generous -rrb- - lot of great stuff in this game , but some area where they still need to improve .
