And Now For Something Completely Different (Fable III)
Comedy legend John Cleese will soon be lending his voice to Fable III. The actor best known for his work on Monty Python and Fawlty Towers will be serving as the main character’s butler.
Lionhead’s Peter Molyneux dropped word of Cleese’s inclusion during his GDC session. He also confirmed that it will be possible to sell weapons online, and showed off a bit of the new user interface.
Fable III revolves around the struggle for the throne as the player first takes power then administers their new kingdom. Once you’ve got your crown, it looks like you’ll have Cleese to help you out.
This isn’t the first time Cleese has done voiceover work in a game. Apart from lending vocals to various licensed games, he’s also appeared as Sir Roderick in Jade Empire.
Fable III will be out on the Xbox 360 later this year.

That is so awesome I can barely contain myself. John Cleese = God.
Agreed!
If only I had an Xbox360! >< I don't want to have a Windows Live account though so it seems like a waste. Hopefully they'll port it over to PC… Cleese also does some work in Harry Potter films. (: He's so awesome.
Omg!!! I love Fable AND John Cleese AND when two things I love combine to make a sandwich of uberness!
Really hoping Fable 3 is better than the 2nd. Gold star to Lionhead studios for bringing in John Cleese!
