There's not a lot of in depth details here but if we go off what they promise, as is Fable tradition, it sounds good. The idea that morality is more subjective and not just a black and white system could be interesting, though I suspect that it's more simplistic than they would have me believe. They also seem to recognize some of the fun side-game aspects of the original games, in particular the 1st/TLC/anniversary where I suspect some things weren't fully intended, like buying all the properties, since some of those you had to get villagers to follow you out of town and then leave them. I'm sure the killing of the villagers and buying their property probably was more anticipated however. In any case, if they manage to include some fun side things to do but aren't necessary it could be fun. It's been awhile since I've played Fable 3, and even longer since Fable 2 because those games have become so inaccessible over time, so I don't really remember them as well.
I tried but it started off annoying and every place I skipped to was someone talking with this "we've created the greatest thing of all time" energy and it's like… you made a Peter Molyneaux game,...
I tried but it started off annoying and every place I skipped to was someone talking with this "we've created the greatest thing of all time" energy and it's like… you made a Peter Molyneaux game, it's going to be a game that's got some die-hard fans and the rest of us will collectively shrug our shoulders and go "sure, okay."
Although given the quality of some games these days, if Molyneaux can deliver his usual "shoot for the moon, land among the stars" it'll be GotY. If it doesn't require DLC in the first six months, it'll be a success in my books.
Sadly, I don't think Peter Molyneux is involved with the new Fable in any way. So, those who are expecting to be overpromised and disappointed may end up, well... disappointed? But fear not,...
if Molyneaux can deliver

But fear not, Molyneux is working on a game that he has described as the culmination of his life's work. Because of course he has. And to be fair, as far as I'm concerned, with the portfolio that he has created he has fully earned the right to make bold statements and dream beyond what is realistic. I know some see it as problematic, but I just see him as inspirational. We need more dreamers, and fewer PR people, making games.
I skimmed it but I don't see anything really exciting or not. That said, I really enjoyed the older Fable titles, so hopefully this one maintains at least that quality. Underdelivering and all,...

Underdelivering and all, they're still fun games. I have fond memories of farming "evil" acts against NPCs I didn't like so I could look how I wanted without being a baddie in the story lmao.
My wallet and myself are prepared to be overpromised and underdelivered to. As is Fable tradition.
