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
What better way to wind down after a long journey than by playing some Underrated role-playing games within a game? At some point during Chapter 6, the Termacade will open shop in the conspicuously vacant building in the Ant Kingdom. Unfortunately, the selection isn't all that great. The Termacade offers a whopping two games to p
Considering how important it is that Fable releases on time, it's interesting to compare its theoretical release schedule to some other games. The best possible example is The Elder Scrolls 6, which Bethesda says won't release for many years. That makes it strange and surprising that Bethesda took the time to confirm the game already. Sitting on the public knowledge of The Elder Scrolls 6 without addressing it at all seems like a surefire way to make fans impatient for n
Aesthetically, the Axe of Disharmony is one of the coolest looking legendary weapons in Fable II. Inspired by the classical shaped Gibson Flying V, the Axe of Disharmony lets out a cacophony of guitar noises as the hero disposes of enemies. This radical, guitar looking axe does the highest damage out of the melee weapons in the game at 99 and has an empty augment slot to outfit as the player plea
The Rising Sun weighs in with a damage characteristic of 61, which again, is slightly worse than its master-tier cleaver counterpart making it a decent early-to-mid game option. This axe should be acquired if the player plans on becoming a true hero of Albion, although its augmentation, Righteous Violence, is quite niche and only works against a handful of truly evil enem
The Hammerthyst has a damage stat of 78 which is about 20 damage lower than the late-game Master Hammer, not to mention, the Master Hammer costs about 22,000 gold while The Hammerthyst is absolutely free. If acquired early on, this legendary hammer will enable the player to dispose of foes with ease whilst simultaneously taking less damage from enemies due to the Barkskin augmentation ability of The Hammerth
Now the question is when the Fable reboot will release . Playground Games has shown almost nothing about the game since it was officially revealed, and so Fable 's state of development is mostly up to conjecture. It's entirely possible that Fable won't be out for a great many years, which would be an awful disappointment for fans. Seeing as the community has waited a decade for a new mainline Fable game, fans aren't exactly eager to wait another two to three years for Fable to come out. Unfortunately, between Fable 's mysterious status and Microsoft's new habit of early announcements, it could be a long time before Fable comes
That’s the thing — I love the Fable dog, and I love the art. I love the devil horns and the tricksy little gnomes. But I don’t think Fable 2 was like Fable, so I’m not sure why so many people were annoyed about Fable 3 not being Fable 2: Again. That’s why I was annoyed, as well as pretty much anybody I asked about it. But in hindsight, it makes very little sense to me — I would hope that the new Fable game in development isn’t just a rehash of Fable 2. I’d hope that it takes a lot of its lessons — for better and for worse — from Fable 3.
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.
At the very least, Playground Games ought to give Fable fans an update on the state of the game. Thankfully, E3 2021 is coming up, so there's a chance that Microsoft will make a place for Playground Games to address Fable and show off a few things. For a while, it wasn't clear that Fable would ever return to its formal glory. Now that a reboot of the franchise is officially on Microsoft and Playground's docket, there's hope for big new things for the franchise. Even if it's a solid game, though, release dates matter. Fable would be best off making its comeback sooner rather than la
