Fable III is drawing near, and recently we got a video diary which highlighted one of the most important pieces of the game, the cast. With a little bit of background from the characters as told by their voice over counterparts, this video gives us more of a deeper view into the world of Albion. Check out the video after the jump.

With such amazing talent like Michael Fassbender, Stephen Fry, Simon Pegg, Sir Ben Kingsley, John Cleese, Zoë Wanamaker, Bernard Hill and Nicholas Hoult, players can expect hilarity and some fantastic voice over work.

You can tell a lot about a video game, especially by its cast. As players are well aware, voice overs can really make or break a game by adding the needed depth to characters and drawing players into the story. I'm really excited for Fable III, even with the delay to PC. I'm looking forward to engrossing myself in the world of Albion and all its characters.
