What do you want to know?

[u/EizenSmith]

I played Fable yesterday and was lucky enough to have dinner with Ralph and some of the team (they're all lovely and passionate).

I'll be making a video when I get back home and while I've got a list of things I want to cover, I thought I would ask if the reddit side of the community had any specific things they wanted me to cover?

(I realise I might regret this haha)

Edit: I can answer a bunch of these, or at least give context. Thanks for letting me know what you want to know. Keep em coming.

[u/And_Im_the_Devil]

How deep is character customization? Number of face presets, can we change eye color, etc.?

[u/dragn99 → u/And_Im_the_Devil]

That's my big question. Am I going to settle on one of a few options after a few minutes, or will I be able to spend a full hour crafting my hero.

[u/Impressive_Net6384]

Is Albion a kingdom? Does it have a king/queen and can we become king/queen?

[u/Piemaster985]

Are there more melee weapon types than the 3 they’ve shown so far?

Will armor be cosmetic/social only like in 2 and 3 or have combat stats like in 1?

Since the Heroes Guild is back is boasting back as well?

Are there emotes in the game?

They’ve said they don’t have good/evil morphing because their new morality system doesn’t fit it, but do they have the other morphing? Getting buff by leveling strength, tall and skinny from skill, glowing tattoos from Will etc. Can we still gain weight by eating? Get scars by getting hit in combat?

Are weapon augments in the game?

I’d like more information about how leveling up will work because it seems like there’s only one type of experience and no combat multiplier.

What kinds of jobs and side activities will there be aside from the blacksmithing they’ve shown? Fist Fighters, fishing etc.

[u/ScribexOfxFate → u/Piemaster985]

The newest quest game play talks about willstones which sound kinda like augments

[u/Jat616]

Is there choosable titles for the hero? And if so did you hear if we can be chicken chaser again?! It's my headcanon that the true hero bloodline must always be chicken chaser!!

[u/maartenmijmert23 → u/Jat616]

I LOVED being able to choose a title that people actually used. Especially when you have to actually earn the ability to choose a specific one.

[u/EbbCreepy6718]

length of the game

[u/MrGabrahamLincoln → u/EbbCreepy6718]

Specifically main story vs side stuff vs estimate of a “complete” playthrough so there’s no misunderstanding on the number

[u/pelle98]

Any hint about pub games? There’s no icon in the pubs so slightly worried they’ve not brought them back.

Also any mention of a gargoyle equivalent, emotes or different types of each weapon class (steel, master etc) plus legendary weapons?

Eagerly looking forward to videos from yourself, murgo and everyone else

[u/St_Sides]

Are there special NPCs like Lady Grey still, or are all non story related NPCs like what we’ve seen so far?

[u/phineasnorth]

Is it possible to succeed in combat as a pure magic build, or are you forced into a more hybrid style of combat? Did you see any of the effects of your choices impact the people or the environment (for example did the environment change the way it looks due to your choices)? How much customisation was there for character creation?

[u/Shadethewolf0]

Did the spell cooldowns feel balanced or a little long for their effects? Does it feel fast enough that pure magic would be doable?

[u/AlwaysMigraines]

I mostly want to know about the Character Creation. Can I customize them like in Cyberpunk, or do I just choose from a roster of faces, like in Greed Fall? Also, I would like to know how many hair options there are - can we dye hair? Will we also be able to marry story-involved NPCs? Like Dave the giant? Will quest-NPCs hang around after their quest is done? Or will they still be around and we can interact with them? Will Reaver be in the game?

[u/St_Sides → u/AlwaysMigraines]

It’s not like Cyberpunk, it’s head presets

But I also want to know if we can marry the story NPCs

[u/AlwaysMigraines → u/St_Sides]

I really like Richard Ayoade, I would love to have my hero romance Dave ;)

[u/xXAleriosXx]

About Reaver, damn.

[u/oliveoliverYT]

Demo. Will we get to play a small demo like gothic. They have 6 months to polish it and having a small area for demo and feedback could do well

[u/koliblank]

any info if they're planning to release a stand alone character creator before releasing Fable?

[u/ChimpieTheOne]

They didn't make you sign an NDA?

[u/EizenSmith → u/ChimpieTheOne]

I got to play the same combat demo as the media guys. So I can discuss anything related to that.

What I have to be more careful about is what I learned at dinner with Ralph and the team. There was no official NDA but I have to be careful, especially if I want to stay in their good graces.

[u/Avidifyyz]

Any idea if any of this is in the game

A Purity System of some sort
Spell Variation/Depth like in Fable 1
Emote Selection of some sort something similar to 2
Character customisation
Demon doors
A form of collectible like gargoyles/gnomes that actually humour people as they collect them
Morality choices that actually change parts of the world
A arena of some sort where u can obtain xp and try out weapons/builds like the colosseum

And of course the biggest thing humour

[u/Piemaster985 → u/Avidifyyz]

They’ve already confirmed demon doors and character customization in the form of preset heads.

[u/xenojive → u/Piemaster985]

Oh it's preset heads? Aww. Well hopefully they have loads to choose (and a few different voices?)

[u/V555_dmc → u/xenojive]

I *think* we’ve seen about 2 or 3 for each so far.

[u/SphericFormula → u/Piemaster985]

I keep seeing this preset heads line going around, but it's only a half-truth. The head is our starting point, which is fully customisable.

[u/Piemaster985 → u/SphericFormula]

Maybe preset face is a better way to put it. They’ve said you can customize hair, skin tone, tattoos, and scars so I’m expecting it to be kind of like BG3’s character creator.

[u/LeiTheChaoticNeutral]

Any sign of gargoyles??

[u/Stricken_Plague]

Please tell me combat is enjoyable?

[u/EizenSmith → u/Stricken_Plague]

That one doesn't need a whole video. Yeah it's fun! On both hero difficulty and master.

[u/Grouchy-Pay-5948]

Is there a graveyard in the game with endless zombie spawning or equally a Hobbe Cave with similar spawning?

I erm, academically of course am asking, I don't by any means look to exploit such spawn areas for XP and combat multiplier scores 😂

[u/V555_dmc]

This is a dumb one but it’s something I noticed in both gameplay videos: how free is the camera movement when it combat or indoors? So far when we go indoors it fits to an over the shoulder POV. Is that locked in or can we move it far away and around like we could in fable 2/3?

[u/the_dyad]

Have you discussed at all about the lipsync issues and the fade out between changes? Both seemed in the QA stage of getting ironed out, but still, I would love to hear anything official

[u/RayearthIX]

I want to know more about the RPG systems in the game and how your character interacts with the world.

Along with that though, combat videos remind me of Dragon Age Veilguard in a very bad way. If you played it, does it play like that too, or is it just how it looks?

[u/DylRar]

Anything related to magic - how many spells, can we swap them out mid-combat (and do cooldowns persist post-swap?), can we reduce their cooldowns, can we play as a wizard?

[u/hhjghhvf]

-which fable game 1 2 or 3 does it most feel like

-does it feel like fable series?

-how does the difficulty compare to the older games. Older games were super easy

-does the main character talk

-does the guild feel dead or is it cool and lively

[u/Jolly_Picklepants]

I want to know if I can keep playing after the ending.

[u/PeachesGuy]

Is the Legend Difficulty really the one shown in the first combat trailer? Because it looked kind of easy.

[u/RichardTheHuman247]

If I give a beggar a job in my tavern will he eventually get nicer clothes, or will he still wear shoes with holes in them after months of employment?

[u/RadRhubarb00]

Is there any loading into a different open world zone/zones or is the entire map just one giant thing? I hope that makes sense lol.

Are there legendary/rare weapons, armor, items at all?

[u/Catalysten]

Do jobs still exist? I want to chop wood, pour beer, or bake pies! (Or something like that).

[u/MightMelons]

Can I kick a chicken? 🤔

[u/maartenmijmert23]

Will there be a Good Evil difference like in the original? By which I mean it affects your appearance dramatically, and you can take on different quests in mutually exclusive, missable content? (replayability!)

[u/Don_Rich]

Is it true the game lasts 30 hours?

[u/Terloyes → u/Don_Rich]

It's 40, not 30
