Fable III Has "The Greatest Cast That Any Computer Game Has Ever Had"

Peter Molyneux is known for being incredibly enthusiastic about his games, often to the point of hyperbole. Still, when he boldly claims that Fable III will have "the greatest cast that any computer game has ever had," it's hard not to be intrigued.

Molyneux was talking up the Fable III voice cast in an interview with IGN, and while his statement may be extreme, there's no doubt that the game is carrying some star power. John Cleese will play the hero's butler, and Stephen Fry is returning to his role as Reaver.

Apparently, it isn't just the big names that make the cast great. "How we're using these characters is very much dependent on how you play the game," Molyneux said. "This is not like traditional dialogue – we went into a studio with John Cleese and I think he'd never done anything like this ever before, because we had to say 'if the player is like this, how are you going to react'. It was a very interesting process."

Unfortunately, gamers will still need to wait until late 2010 to get their hands on Fable III and judge the truth of Molyneux's claims for themselves.
