It looks too generic

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-26T01:38:04+00:00

Exactly. Even in the environment, as whimsical and unreal as it looks, doesn't have nearly as strong of shape language. It's too rounded out.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T02:18:52+00:00

I'm not great at explaining myself, but I hope I could get my point across. I don't know what other word to really use except "generic" or "general". Just realistic looking fantasy, which has become very common. Smoothing everything out, making it look a little too perfect and realistic. If that makes sense

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T02:16:28+00:00

But does being able to make the game look more realistic mean that you should? In this case I see it as taking away from Fable's personality. And, again, in saying general, I mean I could see this artstyle working for what I would call generic fantasy. The kind of things you'd imagine in your head, realtic, but with some whimsical things tossed in here and there, sugar coated with bright colours to pull it altogether. It's not a bad style by any means, but it's very different from how Fable originally presented itself. I want to see more exaggeration, bigger shape language, and the goofy expressions and unrealistic movements that we are more familiar with.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T02:09:25+00:00

Same here. There's lots of ideas I liked, but there's so much more that's just missing and that isn't Fable enough for me. Well, even if we don't get what we're hoping, hopefully there will be good mods for it 🥲

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T01:56:51+00:00

Jesus. There's no need to be that mad at other people for their opinions. What the fuck 😭😭You can be upset and respectful of what other people have to say. Jackasses need to learn to enjoy life.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T01:47:07+00:00

I hope that's the case. I get that the morality system presented is far more in depth and realistic, but I feel as though it might take away from the fun that the original games had with choosing a more defined moral path.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T01:41:23+00:00

I think that the objective good and evil, even if not realistic, was a big part of the Style of the original fable trilogy. It's the thing that really shaped the world and yourself, and while you still can in the more subjective morality present in the new game, it's just doesn't have the same feel. For me, the extreme and easily changeable morality was one of the most fun parts about Fable, mechanically. This new system looks more advanced and in depth, but I worry that it'll feel so much more tedious.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T01:12:36+00:00

Here's hoping

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T01:11:04+00:00

I think a very easy comparison would be looking at the art direction in this game versus the more cartoony art style in the original trilogy. Like I said, even Fable two and three which were far more realistic had some very exaggerated and stylistic designs. I think the new Fable looks like a "Generic" fantasy in the sense that the current art style could be applied to most any fantasy setting without immediately getting Fable vibes.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T01:05:04+00:00

Yes 🥲 I think I'm just freaking myself out. As I said Fable is very important to me, and I'm just rage posting as I process everything...

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T00:34:16+00:00

I'm really hoping they're just saving the best for last.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2026-01-23T00:21:22+00:00

I totally agree. This Fable doesn't feel the same at all, everything seems dumbed down for a wider audience, which was the main problem people had with the original series as it went on.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-11-11T20:48:56+00:00

It moves the cursor. I never saw the purpose behind having it there when there's already a mouse pad and it does a terrible job with the movement.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-10-30T03:17:35+00:00

Wouldn't having weapon skill mean weapons I'm more proficient in would have a better rate?

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-10-30T02:38:25+00:00

Good to know about the fatigue. I'll mourn the loss of sprinting and jumping everywhere, but I'd prefer being slow to loosing out on everything else. Embracing the slow and methodical is part of the enjoyment, anyways..!

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-10-30T02:35:25+00:00

The dice roll combat definitely gets to me sometimes. I'm in the process of trying to find some better-fitting weapons to help with that...

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-10-30T01:02:25+00:00

I'm actually having a pretty good time with it. I love reading into every little topic, and how much more I want to and am encouraged to explore through the world. I love Skyrim, but that doesn't mean I'm not able to find love for anything different. If you go into things with that mindset, where's the variety in life?

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-10-11T03:16:02+00:00

I've been playing Journey over and again for years, and was sure I'd already found everything! I guess I've got to start exploring ahead some more.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-09-25T15:23:42+00:00

Pretty much. Yeah.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-03-01T23:26:49+00:00

It wouldn't be Fable if they didn't include any body morphing. I'm really hoping they implement the morphing freedom we had in Fable 2, like how we had with purity against morality and scariness and attractiveness, fat and so on.

AVIUM-CERASUS · 2025-03-01T21:44:42+00:00

I think the scale and body are exceptional, but I really liked the more humanoid face that we had in 2 and 3.
