He's a dreamer who won't shut up. Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is bullshit hype.

He's a dreamer who won't shut up. Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is bullshit hype.
To my mind games should encourage the interesting, fantastical and weird "What if you could..." elements, and that's what Molyneux/Bullfrog/Lionhead have introduced repeatedly over the years. Developers like him should be prolific and encouraged as I'd really hate to see the breadth of gaming reduced and more focus on safe derivatives of a few genres. I'd love to hear him shoot the breeze on games and what others have produced, but he could only ever do it under a false name as his own carries too much baggage.
I still remember the disappointment I felt 30 mins into Fable. Same story with bunch of other of his games.

My comment was not about his games though. It was a a strong suggestion to ignroe all his bullshit and wait for the game.
Fable is great if you ignore all his antics. All his games are ground breaking in one way or another. Just don't listen to his bs.
This isn't a case of "we were too ambitious and had to cut things." This is a case of repeatedly promising outlandishly ambitious things in press appearances which were never on any internal development roadmaps.
