Hot on the heels of the first Fable 3 screenshots comes the first developer diary for Lionhead's RPG sequel, covering everything from tech and toolset improvements to how your character's alignment is reflected in their weapons and giant sprouting wings.

Threatening to get people "super pissed off," Fable 3 removes the RPG mechanic of gaining experience to level up as part of a process which franchise head Louise Murray explains is "not getting rid of every element of an RPG but certainly making it something that people who aren't interested in that side of things will still enjoy."

Peter Molyneux offers a thought on Fable 3's new animation morphing technology that has thrilling implications for Fable 3's Project Natal support, saying "Now this may sound strange but imagine this--being able to reach out and touch your girlfriend in the game. Being able to hold, persuade, push... all that can be done dynamically."

Fable 3 is scheduled for release exclusively on Xbox 360 in the 2010 holiday season.

    I'm usually all in for these things that try to get new technologies into gaming, but this sounds just lame. :/

        Yes, I've always wanted to stand in front of my TV and thrust my pelvis into empty air.

            Lack of a disturbingly square shouldered and jawed polygonal woman to moan on the TV while I do it. And also, I needed someone to "push" after I was done. And then maybe hit a little bit. I mean lets be honest, if she's done some worth pushing her for, you're probably going to have to take a swing sooner or later. And then things just get classier and more mature from there.

      It's things like these that give bad producers/marketing types a woody.

      Good, if my in-game girlfriend pisses me off I can slap her senseless and give her black eyes. Now all I need to know is if the game will let her wear a mini skirt and I can lift it up?
