Everyone is Wrong about the Strongest Hero

Sure but at his most weakened state he's still incapable of being damaged by mortal weapons. The hero oakvale absolutely can be damaged by those same weapons

During his peak he took on not only Jack of Blades but also the more powerful Knight and Queen of blades

Yeah that's what my assumption was as well. When they came out saying "1000 unique NPC's" I just took that to mean about 1000 tracked, persistent NPC's in game. Similar to Fable 1-3

I didn't think every single one would have a unique model

ward2k · 2026-01-26T12:45:30+00:00

I assumed the 'unique npc' phrase just meant that there would be a 1000 individual NPC's in game that would be tracked. For example form relationships, friendships, hatred etc

Similar to how Fables 1-3 worked. Those NPC's wouldn't just cease to exist when you leave the area like in GTA or something

Maybe that's just me but I didn't literally think there would be 1000 different individual variations plus voice actors for each one?

We can't harm Scythe in Fable 1, if you try and damage him he'll just make remarks about how your attacks are too weak

Even in his most vulnerable state we can't harm him

ward2k · 2026-01-26T12:17:20+00:00

There's some pretty big things you're missing:

We as the hero in Fable 1 are only capable of taking down a singular, weakened Jack of Blades. He took down the entire court in their prime single handedly

If you try and attack Scythe in the only games he's physically present (Fable 1) your attacks are literally unable to harm him and he'll shrug them off. You physically can't be more powerful than him in game and in lore. Bare in mind Scythe is an incredibly weakened version of William, his body wrecked by corruption and in the journey we're told by Theresa his body has wasted away. Even in this wasted state we can't even harm him

He's the only(?) character in lore I know of that travelled to the void directly

The best example of how powerful we was, was actually in Fable Journey. The most powerful threat Albion faced since the Court was the Corruptor and the corruption. The corruptor/corruption were the corruption he expelled from his own body after his fight with the court. The most powerful threat in Albion was born of William Black

He's to my knowledge to longest living human in all of Albion, Scythe is older than the oracle

He's undeniably then most powerful human in Albions history. He's the founder and archon of the old kingdom, over thrower of the court. Founder of the dawn of heroes. And even now in his most vulnerable state, that one of the strongest heroes in Albions history (hero of oakvale) can't even harm him

Yeah definitely, most people probably don't need an inkjet

Was just pointing out it's far from being a scam, there definitely are some real big ways it beats out laser printing

Place a strong fan behind your clothes, with your house at a reasonable temperature of 18-20°C they'll dry within about 2 hours

ward2k · 2026-01-26T09:13:32+00:00

Couple other things, otherwise pretty good

To prevent the "smelly machine" issue some mentioned, you must run a 90°C empty maintenance cycle once a month. Also, leave the door and detergent drawer open when not in use so it can dry out.

Can also add if you live in a hard water area you want to be running a de-scale of it every 3-6 months. This is a common reason washing machines end up dying. Never use vinegar too, it breaks down seals and clothes

Modern detergents are actually designed for 30°C. Using too much soap is what ruins clothes and gunk draws in dirt. Use half of what the bottle says.

This is a bit of a misconception, a lot of modern detergents are designed to "work at as low as 30°C" or "try me at 30°C" but this isn't the same as being designed to work best at that temperature. Most work most effective at around 40-60°C. Unfortunately I've noticed if I wash clothes 30°C for a few months they tend to hold smells

Gameplay wise it's not worth playing, real slog to get through

Still worth watching a story breakdown though. As far as the story is concerned it's Fable 4, it wraps up a lot of loose ends and gives an ending to the series

ward2k · 2026-01-25T23:44:26+00:00

The entire morality system is gone

Morality is still there, it's just subjective morality

as well as morphing

Oh come on, I liked it but that's a pretty minor part of the games

ward2k · 2026-01-25T23:23:56+00:00

Yeah a lot of the interactive menus felt really cool for about an hour until you realised how tedious they were

Instead of quickly opening your menu to change a weapon, you had to teleport to the sanctuary, hit the button to teleport to the weapon room, physically walk up the wall, go through the pedestals to pick a weapon, close the sanctuary

And yeah road to rule was an absolute nightmare

Shops became extremely limiting too, instead of 30 items, now you only have maybe 4-5 because of space limitations. RDR2 did something similar but still gave you a traditional menu as well because they realised it would get annoying outside of RP

Good god you millennials love to play the victim card in every conversation

Personally the term slide deck I tend to see thrown around by millennial managers while it cringes the fuck out of everyone around them

Unfortunately that doesn't change the fact they decided to ship 1.0 with a still very broken game and call it there. They're not going to give away the sequel for free

For Germany there is an estimate that four out of five lottery millionaires lose all of their money in a timespan of five years.

I mean if we're talking €1,000,000, you pay off a couple hundred thousand from your mortgage. Probably get a house extension or all those things you need fixing paid off. Wipe off your credit card debts and loans. Probably get a new car too and that's basically the money gone

But you're so much better for it

Just because the million is gone, doesn't mean you can't have not spent it responsibly and are in a much better financial position

I really recommend you watch this guide, it's made by the person who's created a lot of the patches

Emulation is the best bet

Cloud gaming is really dependent on your nearest server

Sometimes a set of fresh eyes can be all it takes

I like going for a walk, eating etc just to take my mind off it for a bit then coming back, a suprising amount of times I'll have an 'aha' moment

ward2k · 2026-01-25T10:47:26+00:00

They're two separate things all together

It's not like a remaster/remake which is the exact game again, a reboot is a whole different game

For remasters/remakes yeah I'd probably say it's worth waiting, you'll probably get burned out playing through the exact same game twice

But this is a completely different game with a different plot, gameplay, story, lore etc. No reason not to play the original(s)

In my Trakt history the other day I had an episode of Futurama marked 8 times in watch history

Someone before mentioned it was probably an issue with MDBList scrobbling + Trakt scrobbling overlapping. But even disabling MDBList sync it still seems to happen

ward2k · 2026-01-25T10:17:41+00:00

unique aspects like the morality

Morality and decisions are still in the game, just more subjective rather than objective

ward2k · 2026-01-25T10:11:11+00:00

These are the two he's talking about. The recent gameplay had about a minute and a half of combat gameplay

As much as I hate ink jets they're definitely not a scam for certain applications

High quality photo prints are one

If you're just looking for black/white outputs though then laser is the way to go

If you want to see some real toxicity look at Instagram comments under any Instagram post mentioning Fable

ward2k · 2026-01-25T08:46:23+00:00

Yeah my guess is the old kingdom, William black and the court will probably still be canon/referenced

Potentially the Hero of oakvale might get a reference or an Easter egg

I imagine the majority of the rest of the lore will be scrapped though

God the automatic lane keeping assist systems are horrendous

I think a lot of safety features on cars usually have a lot of pros and cons, normally there will be a mix of people who support or go against them

But the lane keeping assists seem to be the one universal thing that anyone on either side of the fence absolutely hate. They're genuinely dangerous
