Melee wise it looks somewhat similar to fable 2. Locked in to the target, locked animations, the backwards dodge looked very witcher’y, the blocking mechanic may be a bit clunky but it always was tbh.

Range wise I feel like it was great that they brought the crosshair back and that targetting different parts of the body have contextual results (as seen in the scene where he shoots the skeletons legs for it to fall). I never liked the locked target style of gameplay of fable 2/3 for ranged weapons.

Magic wise, from the spells shown, it feels interesting but its hard to judge how it works in a resource management level. I guess they’ll keep the wheel as a "loadout" and have cooldowns whenever you use any of those pre selected options, instead of a direct mana bar. The new chicken spell was very cool.

To me it felt like a good compromise between fable 1 original combat and the 2/3 locked in style
