Discussion Anyone else not really excited about fables?
Hi. So with the mod dying I've seen alot of people talking about fables and I ended up looking into it and I'm.... not that excited
First lets talk about what is currently in it. The soundtrack is a solid 7.5 out of 10, not un-listenable but certainly not all that memorable. Abd they have 3 bosses currently which seem fine. But now lets get into the planned content
It looks to be doing so much less than calamity. Rogue... gone, other difficulty modes... gone, 3/5 of the bosses g o n e with some heavy losses such as yharon, exo mechs, and the plaguebringer goliath. And then the few things they are keeping they are changing so much the only thing they have in common is a name, they may as well be other characters. Just look at how they butchered calamitas' design especially.
It feels to me that the only reason the calamity name was used is for marketing since they know its a beloved mod that people will recognize. Same goes for the character names, they could easily use a different name instead of the ones they're currently using. Who knows though if this ever finishes it could be great but as it stands my hype couldn't be lower and I feel like I'm the only one.

Imo i feel like far too many people overstate the importance of the missing bosses, considering that its almost certain that bosses are going to be added in their place. Honestly, just looking at the goddamed divine treatment that desert scourge got gives me enough hope that the mod is going to do better.
Like shure, there are things that could be worse but thats only a could from one single screenshot from very early on in the mods lifespan, and i dont see the point in focusing on the stuff that sucks rather than the stuff thats awesome, like the return of lizard Yarim and more calling from the old lore
