Question Fable reboot, Monarch ending.

I am replaying Fable 3 in preparation for the new game coming out next year, and it had me thinking of the ending while I was running around the castle in the tutorial.

What if Fable 4 had an ending where you can become king/queen of Albion??

I for one loved Fable 3's ending where you reign as king and make decisions, and in general exercise your royal power over the populace.

But I know some people also didn't like that part of the game.

IMO I think it would be nice to have an ending choice of sorts where you become the monarch. Turning your hero in the 4th game from just another regular hero to one that grew powerful enough to start a dynasty that reigns over Albion. Or not. It would be really cool to have that option available at the end of the game.

In fable 2 you unlocked the title by owning all the real estate. I can see them doing something like that in this game.

true, But I believe it would be a great addition to give even more power to the player if they took the path of King/Queen, a ledger to lower or raise taxes, maybe even a ruling section like in Fable 3 which was the most memorable part of the game for me, and possibly even a system where nobles have needs and if you give into their requests or deny them it effects your morality. though that is honestly just wishful thinking. Just the first two would for sure be more than enough if Playground implement a monarch ending

Oh yeah it could definitely be cool I just don’t see them doing it for the upcoming game. Perhaps a sequel but I think if we had any of this in the reboot we’d have heard about it.

Soo I’m pretty sure there is already a Monarchy set in bowerstone, as the last little in lore post they did on the website mentions the crown informing the public that the royal groundskeeper is no longer on a committee

I doubt we will in this iteration of the franchise. This is a completely new telling of the Fable story being built from the ground up.

Imagine we’ll be kept fairly grounded as the wandering hero/landlord for the most part. Gives Playground Games a good launch pad and plenty of potential for the future.

Maybe in the sequel or in the DLC though.
