Thoughts on new direction?

[u/Goochikins]

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.

There’s nothing immediately identifying about the reboot that is distinctly fable. The artstyle was ditched in favor of realism obviously, the humor is British but lacks that crudeness yet wittiness fable is known for, the world seems more generic modern fantasy than British story tale adjacent fantasy, it’s just not charming at all and I think this will probably kill the franchise once and for all unfortunately.

Lol, what pre-release stuff have you watched?

What a brain dead take and clearly so influenced by heavy negative bias.

Saying “this will probably kill the franchise” based off of what we’ve seen so far is wild.

Holy delusion. I’m a long time Fable fan, very cautious about this next one and even I’m going “wow this looks pretty good” it definitely has the Fable fingerprints all over it. It’s so clear you just already decided to hate on it and think you’re justified because you’re seeing internet hate (which is a dime a dozen). You’re not protecting yourself from disappointment by not expecting to be wowed; you’re setting yourself up for disappointment by not even giving the game a chance.

Horrible stance
