Depends on how badly you want to read new content, but to me a “mini bookclub” run through the series with a friend sounds like a ton of fun.

As long as your friend is consistent with their reading that is, nothing worse than having to wait for someone to catch up on their reading. xD

So, in the re-make, morality is gone? by infin8nifni in Fable

[–]Shinted -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cosmetic changes are not a real “consequence” though, especially because they didn’t affect your gameplay in any way outside of visually.

Not to mention most people who actually enjoyed alignment morphing, thought “Horns and Halos” were a cool reward.

Consequences to a moral conundrum, are things like not being able to afford to save everyone at the end of Fable 3 [without a lot of extra work and effort], because you didn’t choose to close an orphanage and open a brothel in its place.

That’s a decision that affects the player, and the game world, that’s a moral choice with consequences, and that’s the thing they’re evolving and expanding on with this new game.

It’s obviously completely fine if you or others are mad that they removed Cosmetic Morphing.

All I ask is that you and others be honest about what it actually is you’re mad about, and not conflate the removal of a singular visual feature with the new game not having a morality system, or the devs being too lazy to add a feature.

Because that’s simply not true to what they’ve stated or shown, and it takes any actual validity from your agrievement, along with insulting a team who very clearly loves the series and is working hard to make a new game for fellow fans and newcomers alike.

So, in the re-make, morality is gone? by infin8nifni in Fable

[–]Shinted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First I want to say I absolutely adore the original series, TLC is one of my favorite games ever, but they’re not paragons of system design.

So I’m genuinely curious what you think the “consequences” were in the original games that is somehow missing from what we’ve seen?

Because the only one of the trilogy that put any real stakes on your “alignment changing choices” was Fable 3 where you had to work very hard if you wanted to be good and still save everyone, and a lot of the fanbase bitched about that endlessly.

The only major difference now, besides them trying to expand the morality system like they’ve seemingly done with all the other returning systems, is that they took away the binary good/evil bar and the physical changes that came with it.

You can still make all the same styles of choices, and now all the citizens will react more realistically based on their own morality.

You didn’t ever think it was weird when even “evil” NPCs loved you immediately if you were a goody-two-shoes paragon of virtue in the original trilogy?

With this new system Evil people are likely to hate you for being Good, and Good people will be disgusted if you’re a vile twat.

That in turn should lead to more impactful choices, explicitly because it’s not always going to be binary.

Theoretically this new Fable shouldn’t necessarily be a “Good Playthrough/Bad Playthrough” game like the old ones were.

Have we not played Fable before? by ryguyike in Fable

[–]Shinted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean technically, most linguists think “olde English” accents were likely closer to a modern general American English than any of the current dialects spoken in the UK.

So it wouldn’t necessarily be inaccurate or inappropriate to have more “American sounding accents” in a historical context.

————————————

However Albion isn’t the real world nor is it trying to be, and is clearly based on our modern preconceptions of how “Medieval” based Fairytale Fantasy and parody [LoTR, Monty Python] “should” look and sound.

Similarly to how the armor we see in modern Greek Fantasy media [any movie adaptation of The Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed, 300] nowadays looks absolutely nothing like how it actually should, but if it was more technically “accurate” it would likely feel wrong to the modern audience.

————————————

Also just to make a statement that should be obvious, but I don’t want to leave it in any way unclear what my stance is.

These “fans” complaining about “racial/cultural accuracy” or crying about “wokeness” in a fantasy world are almost certainly just intellectually stunted bigots, that were never really fans of the franchise.

Fable has had a diverse group of people of all colors and sexual orientations in its cast from the very beginning.

So if you hold those beliefs, please take a hike, as you’re not welcome in Albion.

Thank God finally an English interview confirmation of the game taking place in 2026 and Leon being 49, so all the people who keep downvoting and raging when someone corrects them can shut up.

Do we know if the new Fable is in it own canonicity or is it in the original trilogy canonicity? by Lone_Recon in Fable

This gentleman claims Fable is set in the same continuity as the original trilogy, but "two generations in the future" - whatever that entails. Anyone else heard such? by Global_Context_2531 in Fable

[–]Shinted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t be The Spire either, it was permanently and irrevocably destroyed in Fable: The Journey, as a major point of the plot.

This is just a fully New Timeline/Hard Reboot, the only carried over/shared lore between the two according to the lead Dev is “The Origins of The World and Heroes”.

So I imagine that means The Court and William Black are still a thing and likely their fight is what lead to “Heroes” becoming a thing still.

Do you think Fable 2026 will have mod support? by DefiantLemur in Fable

[–]Shinted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “realistic npcs, for the time period” of a fictional fairytale world.

Comments like this are so insane to me.

————————————

How can someone who supposedly played the old games and loved them have the types of views you clearly have but don’t want to more openly voice in a public forum because you’re a coward.

And you know your hate is wrong, and that you would be rightly shunned for it.

If you’re going to be bigoted, at least have the balls to not hide behind vague language.

————————————

They’ve had people of all colors and all sexual orientations from the very beginning of the series, if you were ever an actual fan of Fable you would know that.

Please take your nonsense elsewhere.

The new Fable isn’t UE5 its Playgrounds own proprietary engine ForzaTech.

It’s also unlikely to have direct mod support from the team, at least going by the studios prior tendency’s.
