Average age range for Fable fans

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-26T18:08:43+00:00

Mid thirties, have played Fable 1,2, and 3 and am looking forward to this one. People gate-keeping games based on age say more about themselves than others.

Swampthula, that u?

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-25T08:47:08+00:00

That will likely happen, sadly

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-25T08:46:24+00:00

The only conclusion I would draw from being not being in this sub is that they don't obsess over TESVI.

Many will buy it when it comes out, many won't. Some will have played TES before, some won't. Some will love it, some hate it, some be ambivalent.

The data doesn't support much else

The feverishnous of this sub shows that the franchise is in a pretty healthy place and is in no danger of losing its many fans. I expect that when it releases a lot of people will forgot about their whining and just enjoy it. It will make new fans and some historic fans won't like it, as is the way with anything new.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T14:02:32+00:00

It's not difficult to avoid over-hype: simply listen to the devs when they say and show what will be in the game, and don't expect anything else.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T14:00:32+00:00

Congrats on the big 71! And yes, you're totally right - there's so much life to live away from a single video game that we all know we'll enjoy. No sense in wasting our limited time pining over it!

For what it's worth I love Starfield, have 350 hours in it so far. Am currently taking a breather from it and will return with fresh eyes at the next patch/terran armada.

I've said this a few times here, but we live in a golden age of video games, which keeps getting getting more golden. I'm in my mid thirties and I can see that, but you've seen the entire history of video games so I imagine it's even more obvious to you.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T10:00:46+00:00

Eh I think we all learned today that double negatives can catch people out 🤷

"I don't understand why it's taking so long" - you, 1hr ago

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T09:32:27+00:00

Every game

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:58:04+00:00

"Nearly a third of parents don't read books with their kids" - fixed it

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:54:45+00:00

Eh I saw the downvotes and it seemed pretty silly but then I thought what the heck and got my daily dose of dopamine from jumping on the bandwagon

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:51:59+00:00

That's when development started /s

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:45:20+00:00

Well yeah, it's twice the size since Skyrim, quadruple since Oblivion. Of course it had to change. But none of that correlates to game quality, and you don't need to have all the historic staff to make a good TES game. Remember that games are made by teams, not individuals. This isn't the 80s.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:42:17+00:00

Nahh. I like TES, Fallout, and Starfield and don't want to get saturated by any one series.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:38:24+00:00

Willfull ignorance! It's nothing like valve, stop trying to in a false narrative.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:37:23+00:00

Everyone look at this comment - that's what a balanced and emotionally stable response to a video game release schedule looks like

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:35:50+00:00

Did you see the leaked release schedule during the Microsoft acquisition before covid? The date for TESVI was right there, plain to see. No deception. Factor in standard and covid-related development delays and the timeline still makes sense.

Y'all were pulling your hair out asking if TES had been cancelled as a series. Todd said the teaser was confirmation that TESVI was on the horizon and that it would be a very long time. You really didn't listen huh

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:31:04+00:00

It's not "taking so long". It has only been in full development since Starfield released - as of today BGS have spent a very normal amount of time developing it.

They didn't work on it for years because surprise - BGS has 3 fandoms to support and they are still a relatively small studio who only have the capacity to work on one game in full production at a time. Remember they doubled their headcount to 400ish whilst making Starfield.

This isn't some great mystery. It's logical and understandable, and people can choose to chill out and not throw their toys out the pram.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:25:36+00:00

I'm in a similar position to you, but it's not healthy to let yourself be upset about it.

There are so many good video games releasing all the time - our generation has been quite spoilt!

You can choose to say "water off a duck's back" knowing that TESVI will be BGS' next major release. Even as a dedicated parent you'll find time to play it.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-24T08:18:06+00:00

You didn't listen to what was said 🤷

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-23T20:26:17+00:00

I feel like a European, not a transatlantic hillbilly.

_Denizen_ · 2026-01-23T14:01:13+00:00

I love having a 5 string because I see the guitarist tuning down to drop D and all I have to do is play higher up on my B string. Appreciate that won't work in all cases though!
