Bug Fables: 8 Things You Should Do After Beating The Game

While the quest objective may seem simple, getting the Tangy Berry itself is a different story. They can only be obtained from the rare and difficult-to-defeat Golden Seedling enemy. Players can also buy them from a vendor in Metal Island, but this area isn't typically accessible until near the end of the game. Upon this quest's completion, Team Snakemouth will receive the recipe for the Tangy Carpaccio, which heals the entire party for 12

tcCNe76zvcfFF2oshUDjCA.jpgThe world of Albion, as featured in Fable 3 , is a large and dense place filled with a lot of different things to find. The most unusual of them are the Demon Doors. These mysterious, rock-faced structures serve as portals to other wor

As far as Fable games are concerned, Fable 3 has always been a bit of an ugly duckling. On one hand, it’s difficult to follow in the footsteps of a game as universally beloved as Fable 2. On the other, it’s especially brave to look at those footsteps stretched out in front of you and say, "Actually… I reckon I’ll walk the long way home."

There's a message board inside of the Land of a Thousand Fables that resemble the message boards that can be found in the real world very closely. The fact that this message board is so similar in size and shape to the one found in the main game doesn't make a lot of se

It is also the single best 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.

While Bug Fables' post-game content is not as robust as some other RPGs, it is supplemented by a large amount of side content that most players may have missed as they pursued the story. With all this in mind, there are still quite a lot of things to do in Bug Fables once the main story is compl

To open the Millfields Demon Door, the protagonist needs to be ugly and overweight (in the opinion of the door). This means that players have to get themselves to max weight by consuming plenty of fatty food like pies and gaming avatar immersion fish. Whereas to become ugly, they need to wear some awful clothing. A set of pajamas where each part is dyed a different color tends to w

Players can choose to either play the dungeon crawler Mite Knight or the suspiciously familiar Flower Journey. These games will reward the player with tokens that they can exchange for fabulous prizes. While none of the rewards are particularly game-breaking, completionists should be aware that there is an achievement that requires them to achieve a high score in both ga

A big aspect of Fable — that many want to see in a reboot — is moral alignment. It's a feature that heavily comes into play when trying to go through the City Of Aurora Demon Door. The thing will only open for people who are completely good or completely e

Additionally, if Team Snakemouth has completed certain optional content beforehand, they will also have access to two other quests. One of these features one of the toughest boss battles in the game, proving that the Wasp King really isn't the end of Bug Fabl

Let’s also remember that Fable 3’s dog companion extends far beyond the contemporary "Can you pet the dog?" phenomenon that seems to have been adopted as a marketing tactic for new and upcoming games. In Fable 3 you can teach your dog tricks, and 30 seconds later it will rip an enemy’s throat out. This disparity is par for the course for Fable 3, which is a game that seems to have amassed every existing genre into its massively hodgepodge makeup. Fable 3 is The Sims. Fable 3 is Dishonored. Fable 3 is Grand Theft Auto. You can use your magical affinity to protect innocent people from hordes of vindictive monsters, or you can pump the rent prices in Aurora up so high that people can’t even afford to buy vegetables in the worst place on earth. You can marry someone, absorb their assets, and then file for immediate divorce. They won’t be happy about it, and the game’s morality system will have its due impact on you — but you can do it. It’s a life simulator, a fantasy RPG, a tycoon management game, a rom-com, and every single thing in between. Sometimes it’s too much — how do you even begin to reconcile all of that in a coherent way? But most of the time it’s actually genuinely smart. It’s just not Fable 2, and people — including 14-year-old me — hated that.

The B.O.S.S. is an optional challenge that Team Snakemouth can take on in the Bee Kingdom. Players can replay any boss they previously fought, but the real challenge lies in completing the full boss rush or mini-boss r
