Ever heard of Monty Python? Or ‘A Fish Called Wanda’? What about ‘The Life of Brian’? I’m guessing then that you might recognize the name ‘John Cleese’ too. Our scoop today is that John Cleese will play a lead part in the upcoming and much anticipated Lionhead RPG Fable III.
Cleese Grows Horns for Natal Fable III
Lionhead supreme Peter Molyneux let slip the JC info at GDC in San Francisco. Apparently the haughty voiced Cleese will play a condescending ‘posh’ English butler, very well casted in my opinion. I met Cleese once and was, let’s say, ‘not amused’ by the stuck up Python star.
The Fable franchise has been lauded for it’s Pythonesque smartness and this led Molyneux to invite Cleese onboard. ‘He’s not the Messiah, he’s a Tolkien inspired elf with oversized ears and crap hair’
Unlike Bioshock 2, Fable III will not be a Me2 clone of Fable II but rather a whole new idea sphere. Molyneux was censored by his peeps but was obviously buzzing with what he wanted to reveal but couldn’t.

Fable III will be a landmark game for Natal, fingers crossed that Lionhead get it right… Cos if they do then FIII will be awesome…
