Ever had that sidekick that a game forced you to have, but absolutely hated with a passion? (I'm looking at you Daxter) Or maybe a side character that you couldn't stand seeing. (Tingle pops in my mind) There are different kinds of people and creatures that get under your skin, and then there are the kinds of creatures you want to hate with a fiery passion, but you can't help but love.
In Fable III, you are tasked with finding a shipment of gnomes for a lonely man obsessed with them. Upon completing that, he asked you to find a book to help his little friends come to life. This is the point where you and the rest of Albion hate you for doing this naughty little deed.
:You now what I like most about people? They die"
Well aren't you a people person....
These cheeky little devils provide one of the most interesting collectibles I've witnessed in games. After awakening the devil spawns, you are then tasked by the gnome lover (And every single non-hearing impaired citizen in Albion) to hunt down the fowl creatures. And shoot them.
"Ohh! Look at the doggy! Looks delicious!"
There are 50 Gnomes in total. Each of them just as fowl mouthed as the other. These sneaky trouble makers are hard to see at first. The trick to finding them is listening. And enduring their insults.
"Id like to get to know someone like you...and drown them."
DIE
After some time hunting the tiny lawn ornaments, their insults get old after awhile. A man can onl take how many times a Gnome was to shag his mother. But each insult provides a unique aspect tot he game. They are the smallest addition to the Fable series, but alas, are the most entertaining things to ever be introduced.
"Sometimes I just want someone to talk to...and sometimes I just want someone to kick in the crotch!"
If only you were a pink flamingo...
The Fable gnomes easily outrank any nuisance and pestI've encountered in my history of gaming. Talking about eating my dog, drownin people, and kicking me in the crotch. Despite their constant threats and mockery of how I need to share beauty tips with the ladies around town, the cheeky devils provided a hilarious commentary that I have never forgotten. While these guys may be a few years old, there's a special place in my heart, and in hell, for these jerks.
"Seeing you brings back memories...of wanting my eyes gouged out!"
"If it were up to me nobody would get sick. They'd just die, starting with you!"
