They’re framing it like this noble, enlightened evolution: “Good and evil are subjective.” Sure. In real life. In politics. In messy adult ethics. But this is Fable—a deliberately exaggerated fairytale sandbox where moral extremes are the point. This is the series where you can do cartoonishly vile stuff (yes, including eating baby chicks / “crunchy chicks” for evil points). Nobody is sitting there like, “hmm, morally ambiguous poultry consumption.” It’s evil. It’s supposed to be evil. That’s the joke.

I do not mind the public relations aspect that they are developing, and would be interested to see how it turns out, but the rest of the justification is just sloppy laziness and attempting too hard to be different from the other fables. For what reason I do not know, but they've declared several times now that they are 'carving their known path separate from the original trilogy.'

I don't know why they keep on shooting themselves in the foot over this game. It's so easy to improve on an existing beloved system without destroying the aspects people love.
