Playground Games has confirmed that Fable’s 1,000 NPCs are voiced by real actors, not AI text-to-speech. According to the studio, around 100 actors were cast to bring the game’s “Living Population” to life, with every NPC fully voiced. Developers said they recorded “tons and tons of dialogue” and said that all voices in the game come from human performances. The game features more than 150,000 lines of dialogue and over 1,000 handcrafted NPCs, with multiple recording studios working in parallel for more than 1,000 hours this year alone. Via:gamespot

Fable NPC system is so sophisticated the devs are calling it a "life simulator" You build reputation through your actions in the game, then each NPC has a different opinion of you based on your reputation. You might have to become a rich business owner to impress and date one of the NPCs in the game, but another NPC will hate you for being so rich. As a consequence, that NPC could increase the prices on their merchandise when you visit their store. Even small actions such as giving money to the homeless or evicting people out of their houses will impact your reputation, and this can be done at a very large scale, because you could: - Buy every home in the world of Fable - Evict everyone out of their homes - Have every NPC now live on the street Possibilities are quite literally endless here

Fable has just released 30 minutes of gameplay, showcasing: - Date, marry, start a family, or even divorce NPCs - Your decisions shape the entire game - Unique NPC system, they react based on your actions
