Attacks can be held and charged in order to unleash powerful flourishes. The player can customize each of these attacks with different weapons, such as choosing between a sword or hammer as a melee weapon, or the capability of combining two types of spells. The Royal Hero has three main methods of attack: a melee attack, a ranged attack, and magic. Players can only migrate the gender of their Hero save file from Fable II, no in-game choices affect Fable III. Other options now involve holding the A, X, or Y buttons on the Xbox 360 controller to select an option. BARRICADEZįable III removed most conventional menus in favour of the Sanctuary, an interactive pause menu consisting of a set of rooms, each of which replaces the function of a Fable II submenu. After the player has gained control of the crown, they have the opportunity to carry out or ignore the promises they made that allowed them to achieve their position. These promises can affect anything from a single individual’s life to affecting the entire population or a class group within it. To encourage citizens to join the revolution, the player must amass ‘Guild Seals” by completing quests, interacting with the people or performing good deeds to gain support and make promises to improve people’s lives when the Hero has the throne. However, depending on the amount of control the tyrant exerts over a region, initial support can be hard to gather.

While the player is attempting to overthrow the current king of Albion, they need to gather support from the people. Items and treasures can be pawned at pawnshops, and as prices fluctuate, it’s possible to earn a profit on items by buying low and selling high. Gold is an important aspect of the game, especially in the second half of the story where the player is expected to raise around 6.5 million gold before war begins. A map is also available, allowing the player to fast travel across the world, view available quests, and manage their properties.

While in the Sanctuary, the player is safe from combat and can access their weapons, costumes, achievements, save files, and system settings.

Instead of a conventional pause menu, Fable III brings the player to the Sanctuary, a hub location that the Royal Hero physically walks through.
