The trailer did not show any gameplay, but it did give fans some information on the new Fable . The trailer does have a comedic tone, which aligns well with the series' historically light-hearted character. The trailer also features a fairy and a medieval sword before panning up to reveal a fantasy castle in the distance. While it may seem obvious, the cinematic trailer seems to imply that Fable will return to the series' earlier setting that was more similar to a traditional fantasy world. Fable 2 introduced early firearms while Fable 3 took the world of Albion to the industrial revolution, but Fable 's cinematic trailer looked as though it will return to the days of bows and swords. However, it is unclear if Fable will be a direct sequel to Fable 3 or if it will be a reboot for the franch

Genshin’s not an MMO either, but it does take a variety of lessons from the genre. It has shared spaces and co-op events. Its world is designed as a progression tool of its own — hard level-gating ensures that you can’t progress through the main story without becoming intimately familiar with the area it takes place in. The fact it runs on a regularly updated individual server even plays a role here — logging in and seeing I have mail from Mihoyo reminds me of the startup UI for Final Fantasy 14 or World of Warcraft. It’s a game where every day brings something new, where you can pal around with mates in multiplayer areas or Steam Library Management become friends with new folks who seem sound. Sure, Genshin caters to a single-player experience for those who want it — but if you’re after something a bit more sociable, especially in times like these, Mihoyo’s got loads of that for you as w

Even though people are able to be damaged in this realm, dying is a whole other thing since it isn't even a physical realm, to begin with. This world made of illusions should not logically be able to kill peo

I agree that Fable brings a distinctly single-player narrative experience to mind. Knocking the shit out of Lucien Fairfax is something you want to do on your own terms, in your own space. But despite Fable’s story being good, the best bits were always the parts you got to experience with other people. I didn’t start a new game very often because all I wanted to do was to stay massively overpowered and wreak havoc on Albion with my pals without having to worry about any repercussions. That being said, there eventually came a time and place where I thought, "you know what? Maybe three months of (literally) farting around Fable 2 is enou

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

Thankfully, most of them are simple to find as they're marked on the game's map. But it's not possible to simply stroll through them. A person has to fulfill special requests to get the doors to open. Unfortunately, most of the requirements are very vague, which is why they are often regarded as one of the more annoying things in the game . But players who do get through them are rewarded with some useful goodies and an achievement. Here is how to open them

I’d like to go back to what I mentioned at the beginning of this piece. A month and a bit into Genshin and I’m still signing in on the regular. I’m dying for another Elemental Crucible-esque event where I can partner with random players and boot around some hilichurls in all-out cooperative mayhem. I know I can play the rest of the game in co-op, but again — I like the single-player parts being single-player. That’s a great thing about Genshin — it recognizes that balance between experiencing a story on your own and exploring the world around it with other people. I think that would be great for Fable in particular — maybe Bowerstone is an MMO-esque hub where you can flick a switch and all of a sudden, boom! Marketplace, flog your trinkets and bullshit for coin, the more you rip people off the better. Flick the switch back and all of a sudden, boom! NPCs are the only people bothering you, and you can just ignore them if you w

A lot of quest players question the logic in this since both of these swords are technically physical, and only one can be used to even hit an enemy, while the other seems to be completely ineffective against the enemies that lurk in the Land of a Thousand Fab
