It's a little contrived, especially since most actions are over-exaggerated, while a new hand-holding mechanic to tug or drag citizens feels remarkably intimate. Not only do you have to convince leaders of your loyalty, but you must take to the streets and interact with the citizens, giving out warm hugs, handshakes and spare change to better your public image. As the sibling of a tyrannous king that has brought the country to its knees, the bulk of the adventure is spent travelling the land to recruit allies that will help you take the seat of power and revert the industrious Albion back to a time when child labour and poverty wasn't commonplace. Of course, you need to earn the right to rule first.
Up until now these moments were either too subtle or too inconsequential to be fully exploited, and so by becoming king or queen in Fable III Lionhead can show that such powerful decisions can exist, and the results are very intriguing indeed.
With its world intended to be as malleable as possible, the series has prided itself on hosting simple decisions that lead to far-reaching consequences.
