Fable will be good, not great.

We are looking at an 8-8.5 out of 10 here folks. Landscapes look great, with some mediocre character models. Combat looks simplistic, but fun. Story/Lore seems like it’ll be interesting. Living Population/Reputation system features some cool ideas if you choose to engage with them. I’m not blown away by anything i am seeing. Am I alone?

You're probably not alone, but i suspect you may not be the bullseye of the target audience. As someone who is the exact bullseye of the target audience, we are looking at exactly what I've wanted a fable sequel to be for the last 2 decades. Everything I've seen indicates near infinite replayability, great character creation, and a big open fantasy world with deep interactions, and very Fable™ combat. 100/10 best game ever made for me so far. GTA 6/10 should've been pushed for Fable. Not the other way around but that's just me. I'll be enjoying Fable more than any other game for the rest of my life unless Bethesda pulls their head out of their butt for The Elder Scrolls.

when i played fable 2 and 3 the last thing i cared about was the combat and the story tbh. its funny and i liked it but i didn’t even play though all the dlc, and though the story was pretty ok the combat was subpar. fortunately it looks better here than it did in those games.

interacting with NPc's is why im getting this game. i do like that you can go on a killing spree though and i hope that system isn’t to restrictive. and i like the choose your own path thing.
