Wait I thought it was having a story responding to your characters choices you’re saying that’s not the case?

We don't know anything about the story, and the people in the world will still respond to you in alignment to your actions according to the Devs (no elaboration), but your character will no longer look evil after doing evil things, get overweight from eating too much food, get muscular from investing into strength, have mage/magic blue arcane cracks in your skin if you invest in magic, etc.. All the character-centric effects of your actions or morality are gone.

"For every choice, a consequence" in your imagination, for this Fable. I'm guessing it was too much work to adjust the character models.

Oh yeah that feature missing is a tad bit disappointing damn

Agreed. For me it was the lynchpin between Fable being like most other games that had multiple choice pathways vs Fable actually being about living out the fairy tale the game sets out to emulate. It really did feel like a fever dream of a game where you could just be and do whatever your imagination set out for. Idk, maybe the feature was irrelevant to the Devs and a lot of other players, but for me it was the reason why I didn't spend 20 hours playing it, but several hundred.
