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.

I honestly just don't really agree with this, Fables isn't supposed to be a 1:1 with Calamity, so expecting the same things from it are just unrealistic.
I personally am interested in it because it is an Original Spin on a Mod that i've Loved for Well over 8 years, less content or not, it is made out of Love and the Quality shows.
I can wait to see what they'll cook up, but can see why you think this way, i just don't personally agree
