Fable 3 Developer Diary 2 Unveils RTS Like Interface and John Cleese

Ask any self respecting geek these days to quote a line from a Monty Python movie, and it should roll of the tongue faster than asking anyone what their favorite color is.  I myself own three different versions of the Holy Grail on DVD and the entire TV show to boot, if that tells you anything of my admiration for the old comedy group.  The British troupe were a staple to many a comedic diet, so it's good to hear that John Cleese will be joining the cast of Fable 3 as your faithful butler.

The latest developer diary focuses on a few things, among them John Cleese's voice talent.  The other thing revealed in the video is the RTS like view that will act as the user interface for the game.  In it we see a giant magnifying glass over a top down view of the world with various stats and information at our finger tips.  It's quite the departure from previous titles.

In fact, from Mr. Molyneux himself, it seems Fable 3 is far more leaning towards the adventure category, and lot less in the RPG.  Whatever category the game is in, I just hope the 2 player co-op is good.
