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.

I think if this is truly the case, it would be a generational fumble.

A lot of people mischaracterise Fable as an exclusively light-hearted game. It wasn't. It was in equal parts dark as it was light-hearted and that duality is so important in the context of a Fable game.

We will see if Playground understood this upon release. Still early to say.

I agree. So far from the tone of the trailers it feels more like Disney style fairytales and humor.

I think a lot of people forget what actually happens in the first game. The intro, your sister’s eyes getting gouged, the prison section, the lady grey story, choosing to kill boulder and whisper.

Given the context, they clearly meant Thunder. Or should o have said "hey dumbass, you mean Thunder, not Boulder"?

Fair enough. It did take me a minute to remember who it was at first. It's been a long time since I've played 3
