It is also the single best RPGs implementation of cause-and-effect relationships I have ever seen in a game. A lot of this has to do with the Pratchett-esque liveliness of the characters, but it can at least partially be attributed to how ambitious its long-term consequences are, too. You’re given a year to raise the arbitrary sum of 6.5 million gold, and you can do this by selling out allies, refusing to build hospitals, or working as a legitimate business owner in a cutthroat early capitalist industrial regime. No matter what you do, you’re going to be bitten in the arse somehow, which is always refreshingly real in the most tongue-in-cheek way possible.
As such, you can use emotes. What's even better is that emotes can change the outcome of cutscenes and NPCs can react to your expressions. If you start mocking them, it's likely they won't take it well.
**SR: If fans have found Fables in trade paperbacks, or even the acclaimed video game, that "Issue #151" on the cover is going to seem daunting. Do you take new readers into account even more in this situation? Do the preceding books help you to draw in new audiences
The main change readers will notice has something to do with the nature of Robin, his partner and sidekick. I’m not going to spoil things by giving away details, but it’s something I've wanted to try with the character since back in the day I was the regular writer on the Robin ser
Fable 3 is a weird game to look back on, mostly because it’s largely confined to the Molyneux meme playground. It’s easy to look at it and think of it as the product of, "What if there was a game that had you as the powerful protagonist, which actually focused not on the means of attaining your power, but on the mundane responsibilities that follow it?" Ultimately, that’s a huge part of what Fable 3 is. It’s not a headlong rush to a climactic battle where the good guys win. It’s not about slaying a dragon with your level 100 magical sword. In a lot of ways it’s actually quite tricky — its inherent humor almost encourages you to be as cheeky as possible, and you reckon you can swindle everyone into helping you defeat the Big Bad at the end of the game. But that’s not the end of the game, and nobody really cares that you saved the world because you fleeced them to do it.
SR: This miniseries is being released under DC Black Label, the imprint set aside for mature readers. Did that play a role in deciding the story you wanted to tell, or what is and isn't "off limits" once this narrative starts taking sh
Honestly, I called Fable 3 shite after I finished it at 14, despite voluntarily pumping about 50 hours into it. "This is so bad, I’m going to keep playing it. I hate this game, no I can’t go to bed yet." I think there was always something drawing me to it, no matter how much I tried to dislike it for not picking up from directly where Fable 2 left off and featuring all of the exact same characters. And now, ten years later — I just wish more people talked about it, because I still think people have yet to fully appreciate how genuinely ambitious it all was.
The game tracks your location but that's not to say that it stalks where you are in the real world but rather where your character is in the virtual one. It does this to allow other players to peer into your world through the form of glowing orbs. When interacted with, gifts can be sent or co-op can be had as you may pull people through to your world to become your bodyguard.
BW: Yes, we do keep new readers into account, and thank you for asking this important question. I believe, in addition to the continued counting, starting with 151, we’re going to count each issue with Black Forest 1 of 12, and so on. We plan to work hard to get the word out to everyone that this is a self-contained story. You don’t need to have read the previous hundred or so issues to know what’s going on. If you have done so, that’s great, but it isn’t necess
While Fable has traditional weapons such as swords, axes, and bows, there are also many varieties of unique ones that spice up the action RPG combat. These special weapons ( the franchise has always offered some incredible ones , such as Fable 2's The Rising Sun, picture above) almost always provide a huge damage buff and are especially useful in the tougher batt
One of the biggest new features that Fable should look at incorporating is a complete overhaul of the series' morality system. Morality plays a massive role in Fable games, and it has evolved quite a lot over the course of three games. Fable should look at deepening the morality system and making it feel much more modern and reactive to the player's actions. A system similar to the Warner Brothers' Nemesis System , something that has in-game characters/villain react to choices, would be a great way to do this while also making the player feel as though they have a greater impact on Albion. Having an evil character lead to more good heroes rising up to fight them or a good character leading to more powerful and crazier evil characters would add a lot to Fable 's replayability while making every person's save also unique and more perso
