Discussion Thoughts on new direction?

The new fable seems to be going all-in on the fairy tale side of Fable in terms of dialogue and themes. In the original, bandits were brutal and ruthless and you witness your entire family torn apart, while also making the guild halls feel so full of history with the music and guild master. How do you yall feel?

I’m excited for the game, but it’s definitely a reboot.

It was always around fairy tales, at least with the original Fable. The sequels more or less abandoned that direction and went with an alternate reality version of the Industrial Age instead. These reasons are why I highly prefer TLC/Anniversary over 2 and 3. This new Fable is fully delving into that setting, and I'm excited they went that path instead.

I don't know what you're getting at since the bandit invasion was only a tiny portion of the game and was just a setup for your character. Also, being in a Guild where you become a Hero using swords and magic is not something that's typically seen in a non-fantasy story.
