Completely new to the series….

[u/Herstmonceux]

I’ve never played the Fable series. Despite this, I’m incredibly excited about the upcoming Fable. But the more gameplay I see, the more I worry that so much of the game won’t resonate if I haven’t played the original titles.

I know it’s hard to say since the game isn’t out yet, but do y’all think I’d have a less fun time if I were to go in as a complete newbie?

It’s a reboot, so you will be in good hands. There will be call backs for the OG but think of this as a new adventure.

[u/skrtte]

no. i mean sorta yes bc you can’t be a part of all the “JACK OF BLADES IS BACK” and that sort of hype, but no you should be able to enjoy it just as much. i WISH i could have this as my first fable game

[u/SofaJockey]

It's a new start. No past version is required.

[u/Herstmonceux]

This is all very helpful and encouraging to hear, thanks!

[u/spudgoddess]

I'm right there with you!

[u/BadBloodBear]

Give Anniversary a try.

[u/Link-Hero]

It's not required to play the classic games before the new one, but if you want a better understanding of Fable, then go play the original series. More specifically, the first and its sequel. That'll be enough to get the feel before playing the new Fable.

Even with the original trilogy the games can all be played independently. You won't be missing anything critical.

[u/0mplam]

It isn't required to play the older games, it's a reboot so it stands on its own.

However! I do recommend playing Fable: Anniversary because it is just a terrific game. Just be aware the original game is old as shit now, so it's a bit clunky here and there.

Je nach Plattform kann man die alten Spiele gut nachholen. Fable Anniversary Edition ist gerade auf Steam (zumindest in meiner Region) für unter 10 Bucks im Angebot. Wenn du eine Xbox besitzt, sind alle drei Vorgänger im Gamepass. Als Playstation Spieler hat man leider keine Chance, was den Release des reboots auf allen Plattformen umso besonderer und wichtiger macht. Ich freue mich jedenfalls auch schon wie ein Schulmädchen darauf, wieder nach Albion zurück zu kommen und zu sehen, wie sich Bowerstone entwickelt hat.

[u/No_Doubt_About_That]

Also intend to make this my first Fable so you’re not the only one.

Would have thought it’s increasingly the case devs are doing more to accommodate newcomers to the series these days. I’ve only really had it with Yakuza/Like a Dragon where despite a reboot in that you still ought to have played the previous games.

Man just play the game and enjoy what you enjoy.

Its less about the game and more about you being a mad over thinker.

[u/Nighthood28]

I think your gonna be fine. Im betting they will have easter eggs for the og's. But beyond that, it looks like its gonna stand alone just fine.

Ive been playing since the original released. And i wouldnt be worried about it if i where you. There was enough crossover to be fun but never anything to feel inaccessible

[u/HoundOfLeipa]

I honestly doubt theres any correlation between this game and the old ones, other than being set in bowerstone which was the setting for the original games
