When it comes to Peter Molyneux, creator of Black and White and the man behind the popular Fable series, there is no shortage of good ideas. Once known for making outlandish promises that never came to fruition, Molyneux has learned to mitigate his enthusiasm for a feature or a mechanic until testing has proven it feasible.

Unfortunately, with Fable 3, Molyneux hyped and made Lionhead put so much effort into a feature – being able to level your character on the ‘Road to Rule’ – that it ended up distracting from important development duties like refining the final product. Instead of making what was already there better, Lionhead hoped to implement just one more mechanic that might make the concept of leveling your character a bit more fluid

One of the somewhat controversial highlights during Microsoft’s E3 press conference this year was the reveal of Fable: The Journey, a new Fable game from Lionhead Studios that uses the Kinect to immerse players in the fiction world of Albion. Many who witnessed the reveal of the game are still very skeptical however, and it seems that the new title’s debut left more questions than answers. That’s why it’s not overly surprising to hear that Fable: The Journey was only about four months into the coding process when it debuted.
