I don't understand why some people would be so adamantly against mounts. Clearly more people want them, and it's simply adding another option to the game and essentially making it "bigger". The most successful game series are the ones that constantly grow larger and more detailed.

Yeah well the thing is:
It can not grow larger and more detailed.
That would mean endless loading screens

For instance: take Fable II and remove all the loading screens between the regions (free roam) - but keep the graphics and details - it's impossible as it.
It will have to wait till next,next-gen consoles or maybe even next,next,next-gen

A mount is nice and all, but it wouldn't work with Fable's loading screens, treasure hunting, digging, combat and dungeon exploration.

Mount up - oh a balverine I have to kill - dismount
Mount - Woof! huh? my dog found a dig spot! - dismount
Mount - WOOF! eh? there was a treasure chest too? - dismount
Mount - Loading Region - Automatic dismount!?
Mount - Pewpew random bandit attack, can't attack on horseback - dismount
Mount - Wait this isn't the region I wanted to go to gogo fasttravel! - dismount

Fable IV could have mounts .. maybe?

You could easily fight from horseback, using melee and ranged combat, and Will. Many games allow you to do that. And if you went from one region to another while on horseback, why would you have to dismount? You don't have to in Assassin's Creed. A horse in Fable 3 would be exactly like Assassin's Creed horses in that aspect. And sure, you'd have to get off your horse to get something from a chest or a dig spot, but that's about the only thing you'd have to dismount for. Not to mention the option of flying right by them if you don't want to be bothered with them, which I do a lot in TLC and Fable 2 anyway.

The only mount I'd want would be Theresa.

That is horrifying in so many ways...

hippos would make better mounts, or bulls

A lot of games already allow mounted combat. It's not a difficult concept. You don't seem to really know the processing power of current consoles, which is higher than you think.

Also, your list is kinda bull****. The only 2 things you'd have to actually dismount for were treasures and dig spots. The loading screens comment also doesn't make sense, Fable's world is divided up into relatively tiny sections as it is.

^^ if u had a balverine mount, ( which i think would be pretty cool ) u could train the balverine, and get him to dig up while on his back. and i agree, his list is bull****

his list should seems to think that fable is going to copy oblivion's horseriding option.

I think if you had a horse that changed with your alignment, that would be pretty shweet. If you were villainous, the horse would become a Nightmare with chains, flames and the usual. If you were heroic, the horse may gain Pegasus/unicorn-like features with a horn and maybe transparent wings like the halo in TLC. (Never played FB2) And with the neutrals, you would have a plain old horse. I think the idea of having mounts would be very useful, and playing as king you may have to go into an epic war between the creatures of Albion and your own town that you control.

HO BOY! A PEGASUS!

HO DAMN! A NIGHTMARE!

You, sir, are bullwhatever.

It's not like I don't want a mount, all I'm saying is Fable III won't have amount - deal with it

I really like your idea.

I dunno...maybe you could see random carriages riding around...and you could hijack them! Like...when your gong through a forest path or something...or maybe...you could abuse your dog and jump on it just to be mean...hey who knows?!
