It has a well know and decent writer, and a great game designer - on top of great art direction. To me, it screams what Fable should have been, as far as I can tell from the trailers. So I am excited - not overly but excited.
One word. BOUSE! The gameplay looks amazing, and I know Salvatore will deliver on the story. Every story of his I've ever read has been incredible. I mean, he wrote the freaking legend of Drizzt!
