It was a justifiable sacrifice, admittedly, but we’d love to see those choices brought back. This slashing of options was the sacrifice made for more ambitious gameplay and set pieces.

As the Fable series progressed, there became less and less choice in weapon types, magic spells, and clothes available to wear. It shouldn’t be just dogs that get a whole new range of options the main hero should too. Just let us choose our dog, and have them be a good boy or girl throughout. However, we weren’t so keen on how our dogs changed in Fable II depending on our morality. Husky, poodle, labrador or bulldog we love them all. They’re all equally brilliant and superior. How could we not – dogs are wonderful creatures. We loved the introduction of man’s best friend in Fable II. How you act should change the world at large, not just how a quest ends for you. If, for example, you raise the rent of a town you should see more beggars and depravity. Particularly, the small acts you take part in should have a bigger impact to the overall outcome of the game. We’d love to see the next Fable game give more weight to the decisions you make.

There needs to be a constant and more personable threat something we want to overcome for our own reasons, regardless of our alignment.Īs great as Fable III was, it was hugely flawed in the fact that the decisions you made had little to no consequence by the end. Oh, and all of your decisions so far have mattered little compared to the ones you make right at the end.įable‘s story needs better pacing, and a closing act – if indeed it has a closing act at all – that makes sense to the rest of the story. Then you got to the final act and boom: shadow monsters. For the majority of the game you have been exploring the industrial revolution in Albion as an exiled prince, ruining lives and exploiting the real estate market. Most of us loved Fable III – right up until the final act. But people like Joe Thomas or Richard Ayoade would make great additions to the line-up, too their signature styles of humour would feel right at home in the Fable universe. Stephen Fry and Zoë Wanamaker were so crucial to the feel of Fable III and III that a fourth game would be amiss without them. There was a silliness and cynicism that echoed through the world of Albion, brilliantly stated by a cast of well-known British voices. It felt more like Pratchett’s Discworld than it did Neverwinter or Baldur’s Gate.

One of the best things about the Fable series is that it felt more like a gander through a Monty Python sketch than it did a classic role-playing fantasy land. So what would we want this new installment to look like? Rather British indeed! Several of developers under Microsoft’s umbrella have been associated with the property and there have even been several leaks on Reddit that suggests that this may be more than just idle gossip. There has been a trickling of news from various sources suggesting that the Microsoft owned IP could be back. Just what do we want the new Fable game to look like?Įver since Lionhead disappeared in 2012 there has been little suggest of a fourth installment, until recently. Of course – that’s got us speculating about what we want from this next instalment. But at least it’s confirmation that we’ll be returning to the land of Albion before long. The trailer gave very little away all we saw was a fairy getting eaten by a particularly plump toad, before the ‘Fable’ logo filled the screen.

That was until news started trickling in that perhaps the Microsoft-owned IP was going to make a return after all.Īnd indeed it’s true: during last night’s Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft closed out the show with a teaser announcing that a new Fable game – curiously titled just Fable – is in development. But with developer Lionhead shuttering in 2016, hope of a Fable IV seemed lost. That decision is all yours, for that is the magic of Fable.įable III released almost 10 years ago, and since then, fans have been crying out for a new instalment. This hero could be strong, gallant and true, or they could be cruel, cynical and fart for laughs. On the cobbled streets on Bowerstone, a hero emerges.
