I WAS enjoying Fable 3 (despite it being indeed dumbed down)... until the midway point when it started shoving me in the back to rush towards the ending. I honestly wanted to do all the side-quests and find all the hidden stuff, but it's auto-save feature combined with it skipping months ahead in your '365 days' with no warning whatsoever....suddenly I was done. I finished in 16 hours and never died once, without even coming close to maxing out my powers.

I dunno, I liked Fable 2 a lot as well but this one seemed like a brief joke in comparison. I need to read more reviews before dropping 60 bucks next time.
