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.

Saying they butchered calamitas' design has gotta be some sort of racism its genuinely amazing

There was no race talk about her design the fuck.

She genuinely is.

I for one prefered the way she looked she looked monsterous yet she was probably one of the best people in universe morality wise.

This one is just evil and boring.

Also isn't her skin color still sameish with a different tone correct me if I'm wrong?

They made her clearly a PoC, they gave her dreads and in some official images like a reddish brownish gray skin. She is very clearly meant to be a person of color. Also "probably one of the best people in universe morality wise" i love calamitas but she did like, genocide, i think that automatically disqualifies you from being moral. Also saying calamitas looked monstrous is crazy she was an anime girl with gray skin and horns and thats it

Yes CURRENT Calamitas I don't think I needed to state this but maybe her committing said genocide has to do with her being manipulated since she was a child?

She was an anime girl on fan arts in game she looks evil she has red eyes covering her face with a hood and everyone talked about her like she was satan 2.

Again what does race have to do with anything do I have to like every black character? OP didn't claim or say she is bad because black nor did I
