Fable III Sports 47 Hours Worth of Dialogue

Thanks to today’s Develop Conference, NowGamer is reporting that Lionhead Studios has officially recorded over 47 hours worth of dialogue for Fable III. At nearly 10,000 words per hour, no less:

The final game will include over 47 hours of voiced dialogue, which, according to Backer amounts to 460,000 words. Background characters won’t repeat themselves either, with each of the 32 different types of AI able to spout around 2,000 different lines.

The game has one of the most impressive videogame casts of all time – Backer revealed that star names such as John Cleese and Jonathan Ross are actually part of an 80-strong cast.
